You may have noticed that I've changed the title from 'Confessions' to 'Adventures of an Army Wife'. I thought this was more fitting as it really is a blog about my upcoming adventures, rather than confessing my secrets.
I'm currently laying in bed at the hotel, still, watching UFC. Obviously blogging is more appealing to me than watching that. I like it if I'm out drinking at a bar, but seeing two dudes beat each other up just isn't my cup of tea.
We still don't have our passports. Roderick received a call today from a colleague, the guy that is going over there with us, and I guess another colleague, the lady that's joining us, already has hers. She somehow found out that the colleague is getting his on the 23rd, and Rod and I will receive ours on the 30th. Not entirely sure how she got this information or if it's true or not, but I really hope they come in before then. Living in a hotel has gotten real old, real fast. All I do is watch tv (The First 48, Wildest Police Videos and Storage Wars have been popular around here), go out to eat or order in, and take naps. Without a vehicle, we're pretty limited to what we can do. Fortunately though, there's a Tim Horton's right next door, as well as The Keg. However, we obviously can't eat there everyday because it's so pricey, but oh so delicious and the closest thing to a home cooked meal. Within a 10 minute walk there's also a shawarma shop, Harvey's, Subway, a Firkin and a Moxie's, and there's always pizza delivery. But I'd pretty much do anything right now to have my own kitchen and a healthy meal.
I just really want to get the heck out of here. And it baffles my mind that the 4 of us that are going to Pakistan all handed in our passport and visa papers at the same time, so why didn't we all get them when Wendy did? So unfair. I've been waiting for this adventure to start since March and I am more than ready to get over there!
Do me a favour? Pray for us that we'll get our passports soon! Or if that's not your style, cross your fingers or something. Some people might think that going to Pakistan is dangerous, but lock me in a hotel for 3 weeks and we'll see what happens.
