It's been a while since I've done this. You probably know how much I love lists by now.
The Good
Husband is coming to Paris late this week. I cannot wait.
I got a job. Kind of. I think. In finance. Bring it on.
The Bad
The weather in Paris is a little bit dull. We're far from the Indian Summer I was hoping for.
I've been sick for a few days now. Nausea, dizziness, killer headaches. Whatever virus you are, please go away.
Getting a job is nice, but it means I won't be able to see my husband for at least 3 months.
And this very much sucks. Pardon my French (haha).
The Ugly
Again. The idea of not seeing my husband for 3 months is pretty much unbearable.
Especially since our wedding anniversary is coming up.
The top tier of our wedding cake is in the freezer.
We have a wine bottle we were given as a wedding gift and were supposed to open on our 1st anniversary (We also have one for our 5th and 10th anniversaries. I know. This is genius).
So yeah. This keeps me up at night.
That and the fact that I'm seriously starting to freak out about the immigration process I'm going to have to go through in order to go to Canada. (No, they do not care that we are married).
I realize now that my post is just about 98% depressing and negative. It wasn't intended that way. I am overjoyed that I get to see my husband in a few days. As for the rest, well.. I'm scared. Not depressed. Not pessimistic. Just plain old scared.

Un jour à la fois....
I know things will be okay :)
Je t'envoie des pensées xx
You have every right to be mopey if you like, I don't blame you and I totally understand. My advice for your immigration process, if you can afford it, is to hire an immigration lawyer. We did. Its a complicated application, and not one we want to mess up because it would mean waiting another 8-12 months, we want it right the first time. If you can afford it, its well worth the money.
New follower. Great blog! Makes me want to get back to Paris very SOON! Sad to hear you don't get to hang with your hubby everyday. He'll be there before you know it.
Ça m'étonne que le fait que vous soyez mariés n'ait aucun impact sur ta demande d'immigration... C'est long, je le sais bien et je te dis: hang in there! Pour ton nouveau boulot, ce serait cool que tu puisses te faire transférer ici - c'est une possibilité? Si c'est une banque française, il y en quelques unes par ici ;)
I won't be seeing my boyfriend for 3 months either :(
I can't even begin to imagine what you are going through :( Hopefully this new job will make time go by quicker, and take your mind off everything..a little bit at least.
Immigration processes can be frustrating - but with patience, as long as you do everything they ask you will be fine!
Bisousssss
Thank you everyone for your sweet words & advice.
And Westcoastsoul: I am so sorry. I hope it's at least because of a great opportunity for one of you?
"Pardon your French" HAHA! Hilarous :)
i love this post. It lays everything out. It is ok to be negative sometimes. I know how it feels to not see your husband a lot and it is HARD!
Paris sounds so fun! so great that you finally get to see your husband :)
you're definitely learning strength, that's for sure!
And tell Paris I say hello!
aww your hubs is coming soon and you have something coming on the horizon. I live in Portland which is supposed to be the same weather as Paris- and when things are dreary- I always treat myself to a warm delicious fluffy coffee. If I lived in Paris I would throw in a Parisian dessert. :)
yes I will be doing a Master's in library science. It will be worth it in the end...that's what I keep telling myself anyways.
Well done about your job!!
Have a wonderful time with your hubby. Must be amazing for you to see him again. Not too long to wait now!
I would be scared too - and I'm not even quite sure of your situation. But I feel for you - that's so much time apart from your husband! Mine has been away on business for a couple of days and my heart is aching for him to return! But they always say, absence makes the heart grow fonder. Good luck!
not sure whether to say congrats or cheer up. Life can be complicated.
