13
THE TIME HAS COME.
LOOKING BACK.
13 DAYS AND COUNTING.
The time has finally come! I feel like jumping up and down...I feel like
running around the house shouting with joy...I feel like going outside
and letting out the loudest "YEEEEESSSSS!!!" ever heard. It's the first
of September, and I can officially start my countdown to the most
awaited event in the last 27 weeks. On September the 13th, I will fly
to Madrid, Spain and see my hubby, Pepe, after what has seem to me
an ETERNITY.
To be exact, by the time we are at the Barajas Airport, hugging and
kissing, it will have been 29 weeks. It might not sound like a long time
to you, but...to me...being without my husband for the last six and
a half months has been one of the toughest experiences I have had
to deal with in my life....
If you have followed my blog from the day Pepe left to Spain, then you
know what I have gone through. If you haven't, but you have been
checking out my blog lately, and liked what you have read, then...you
might want find out how this blog started and the reason behind it by
reading: ONCE AGAIN... A HUGE CHANGE IN MY LIFE., I can stay, I can
cancelall the plans if you ask me to. and PRETENDING IT'S MONDAY.
You might even understand how very eager and desperate I am to get
away from it all...to feel warm and safe in Pepe's arms, if you read:
TUESDAY'S MELTDOWN PART 1, TUESDAY'S MELTDOWN PART 2 .....
ALL WORK AND NO SLEEP MAKE JUANA AND SANDRA CRANKY AND
MEAN...,and one of my darkest days..THE KNOT (PART 1), THE KNOT
(PART 2) ,THE KNOT ( THE END ). Wow, I had to write it in 3 parts
during my sleepless nights!
Now...not all has been bad. I have had my daughter, Sandra, and my
grandson,Alonso, to share these days with. I have discovered the
pleasure of blogging,which in turn led me to write "FOOD STORIES",
the humorous recipes that have become a family favorite. I have re-
connected with my husband in many levels, and have missed him
like I never knew I could. And, I have become a stronger person!!!
So...today, after looking back at my experiences, I have something
to look forward to...flying out of ATL with destination MAD. It will
only be three weeks. But, Pepe and I plan to make the most of it,
and best of all we will look for a new "home". Ahhhhhh, can't wait!
So many loved ones I will share my time with too! My beautiful
daughter Mayra, my wonderful son-in -law Raul, my AWESOME
grandkids, Alberto and Gabriel...my sisters, nieces, cousins!!! What
can I say, it's going to be great.
In the next 13 days, I will try to post day by day. Therefore, this is
day 13 and I am counting...finally
counting!!!
