Back in Kuwait

Making the decision to move to Kuwait was one of the easiest I ever made. However, it has been the hardest trial of my life. Here we are in a foreign country where we can't understand the language at all, being ridiculed by everyone at home because they think we did something wrong. Not having any support because they won't encourage us till we admit it. Craig and I had to lean on the only one we could. No one else was there for us. I guess I am using this as a place to vent. Do you know what it is like to have the people who are supposed to be there for you telling you how wrong you are and refusing to give you the support you need because they want to be the one to say I told you so first! I love them don't get me wrong but they don't any idea of what it was like at all. We had to struggle every step of the way until now. In fact is crazy how the issue of struggling is just gone. I think most of the people back home attribute it because we came home for month to sell everything off but the truth is that nothing has changed at all. Just that which was keeping us from being productive is gone. It just that when we go to do something it actually works or it is easier than we ever expected. Food we want is now on the shelves, getting around is a breeze. Electronics we thought didn't exist suddenly do and we actually are getting great advice on how to find the things we need or wish we had. Even getting out of the airport this time was so simple. Getting Craig's Civil Id which was the thing we kept going circles trying to get is as simple as Him giving the company his Passport. He spent 2 months doing everything he could, filling out paperwork, and visiting every office in Kuwait to get it done. Nothing. Circles, Circles, Circles when it came to everything.

Its strange but we actually know more about kuwait living as we have those three months than any of our kuwaiti friends or people who have lived here for years. And truth be told we are so comfortable here we actually want to start enjoying ourselves. Going to all the fun places instead of just trying to live. We even stuggled to do just that! But Kuwait is still kuwait. And we now have the choice of becoming someone who is spending time in Kuwait or molding into the way it is here so we can actually become someone who is acutally living here. We'll see how it all works out but right now we are in the middle. Could go either way. Glad the stuggle is ended and that it was no fault of ours we endured it! I can stand proudly or at least post proudly that  is the God honest truth!
