I took the plane to the US over three months ago. It was my first time overseas. I remember i was so nervous for that long flight and all the strict security. But everything was going great. My bf's family was the first family i saw when i walked on the airport. They hugged me, and i felt so welcome since the first second.
At home his mom cooked my favorite meal and made a hot bath. I spended a few days with the whole family and it felt or i knew them for many years.

Finally the day came my bf came out of prison. I will never forget how he walked with a big bag full with my mail over his shoulder into my arms. That moment the world stood still.

The bound we had after almost three years writing and calling was even stronger face to face. The first few days i really couldnt keep my eyes off of him, i wanted to see every move, every expression in his face, how he slept, etc and the same for him, LOL.

Over the months we lived at different kind of places. That was sometimes hectic.
My bf had the luck he had a job at a company from a familymember. But because of the bad economy that familymember lost lots of work, so my bf lost his job. That was a real sad moment. He loved his job, and we needed the money for our living and realize the paperwork.
He did several jobinterviews, but it's hard as an ex-con to find a job. It's so frustrating even after serving your time people still judge you. When are you really free and want to do the things you want? What is the meaning of prisontime?

I love the US as i love Holland. I feel there at home too. Many things are really different. I never knew you always have to show your id when you want to buy sigarettes or alcohol. The first time i forgot my id and the liquorstore didnt let me in, LOL. "You can be older than 21, but also younger" (a real compliment, ofcourse). Or one day a sheriff hold me on walking on the street and thought i run away from highschool, haha.
Those things where funny. Other differences not so funny........

I'm sitting here in front of the computer, and next to me is always pen and paper to write my Boefje. Mostly i do those things at the same time, writing and posting on WAP. Lately it's hard for me to concentrate on writing. I have such many mixed feelings, excitement, totally hyper, stressy, etc....
It's so hard to believe it's almost time to take the plane and go to my love!

We just had a call, and told me: this week i write my last letter to you. And the same for me....
