Ok, let me get this straight. My name changed back to Negrete AND my husband just left me in a foreign country by myself... Does that seems strange to anyone else besides me? haha.
Michael is on his way...well kinda. He left here this morning at 11:00am and is at the airport right now. His plane doesn't leave for another 3 hours (3:35) but we have a habit of getting to the airports ridiculously early. So, I guess he will be hanging out there for a while. I actually have a really busy day today,since it didn't really start till after he left at 11. I have some work to do around the house, do Danish homework, then go to the gym, come home take a shower, eat a quick dinner, then out the door to Danish class. Then back home and we usually go straight to bed when we get back. Maybe I won't even notice Michael isn't around today!! ok, thats pretty doubtful! ;) We realized a couple days ago that this will be the longest we have been apart since I went to Russia in 2001 for 2.5 weeks. We could hardly believe it. I've been getting a lot of what will you do while he is gone questions. Seems like most people think my life is going to come to a screeching halt while he is gone. I suppose with not working I portray myself to a lot of people that I am completely dependent on Michael, which I am in a way, but I wear a good mask to the incredibly independent and tough girl that I really am and always have been. I suppose thats why I never get bored doing what I do. :) I have a ton of stuff planned to do while he is gone. Several things its really hard to do with him around, which includes organizing the heck out of our place. It seems I can't get things meticulously organized the way I like, without creating a huge mess as I move along, and that's hard to do with two of us trying to move around in here. There are a couple places I want to go to that Michael doesn't have much interest in seeing so I'll probably hit up those places up as well. I have a Tai Chi lesson early next week and 4 Danish classes while Michael is gone. Also when Michael gets back we are starting private lessons here in Lyngby and will drop our other classes. I'll talk about those more later.
So, if you could for the next 10 days send out strength and recovery vibes to Michael we would both be grateful. :) When he left he told me he was really nervous about this trip and how his body and mind were going to handle it. He will hardly have a moment to come up for air between the all the traveling, preparations for big meetings and the meetings themselves. Plus he has a bad habit of forgetting to eat when I'm not around to remind him... that's never good.

Yikes, I'd go crazy 10 days without Jason. I hope he survives the trip and I bet you'll have a wonderful reunion when he gets back!!
Oh, contrare! Nichole, I am glad that you are independent. You are fiercely independent, and I know two ladies in El Paso,TX who are very glad. You continue to amaze us both. Michael will be in our prayers. Hugs to you,
Sharon
Phew. Took me like an hour to catch up on ya'll. Sounds like everything is going well despite the illnesses and boring Danish classes. I have that Rosseta Stone CD. Since you get $10K I'll only charge 5K for the CD. Sound good? :)
If anyone has doubts about Nichole's ability to "survive", just give me a call! She has ALWAYS been very independent. Anyone who would travel to Russia by herself for two and a half weeks is not afraid of much! Love you!
hey cole, I don't think anyone who knows you would think you are completely dependent on Michael. But like all men, they need a lot of attention and looking after!! =) Just thought what were you going to do with your free time. Jay is going out of town for two days and I am going to get soo much unpacking done, it will look like a different house when he comes home.
Glad you are going to get out and see the things that Michael doesn't want to see. I'll think good thoughts for Michael over the next week. I know he will do great!!
