So I’m sitting here on December 24th, with some nice sunshine coming in through the window, and it’s sorta tough to imagine that Christmas is tomorrow. But at this point in my life, I’m kinda used to this and it doesn’t bother me much. On the other hand, I am no longer a single dude and need to make accomodations for my loved ones, which I’m trying to do the best I can.
Life in Belgrade is progressing well I think. We’ve been attending a lot of holiday parties over the last couple of weeks which have been nice, if nothing else to let us know that we are social beings. I found that the last couple of months in Miami/La Paz left me with a lessened sense of socialization, if that makes any sense. Basically, I didn’t feel like there were a lot of people in my life to interact with, and it’s nice being back in a normal social situation. The best part is that the people here in Belgrade are by and large really cool and friendly. Three years here won’t be a chore because of the people.
We are still in temporary housing, but did get to tour around our permanent apartment the other day and it’s pretty swank. It’s in a fun neighborhood of Belgrade (Vracar, for those of you keeping score) and is plenty big for Jessie and me. It’ll probably be another month or two before we get into it, but I think it’s worth the wait.
I’m a little sad because the mail came today, but we didn’t get anything major in it. I’ll have to get used to the mail only coming every once in a while again.
And that’s it. Have a good Christmas and keep your heads down.
