I've been married for two weeks now! And perhaps someday in the near future I'll write about it. It was an eventful day, obviously, with highlights including being attacked by a swarm of teeny flies (no-see-ums?) during the photographs and being dressed (twice, mind you) to look like a Tiv bride. Phew. Quite a day!
And now the honeymoon's over, so I get to relax a little, move into my new house, and start living the married life...
...or not.
Nope. My life recently has been a whirlwind - but for a few days here and there on the honeymoon, also about which I'll have to write at some point in the near future - and it doesn't stop here.
I found out a few weeks ago that I might have some trouble with my visa and immigration, and since then we've been scrambling for a solution... to no avail. It seems that the only solution to my problem is to return to the States and reapply for an altogether different type of visa. Actually, this was made quite a bit simpler by the fact that I already have a return ticket to the States (I had to purchase a round-trip ticket to get my current visa). So I'm leaving Tuesday morning, the 5th, and flying back to the States.
When will I be back?
I entirely sympathise with the song "Jet Plane." I don't know when I'll be back. I'm leaving my new husband without a return date in mind. We're all hoping and praying it will just be a few weeks. And I don't imagine I'll be gone very long. But my fate will rest in the hands of the embassy employees. What a relief that God's made plans for me that I don't know about - plans to prosper me and not to harm me, plans to give me hope and a future!
So maybe I'll have a white Christmas after all.
