My journey in the Unites States started almost three years ago. Exactly three and half years ago, my husband, who is a soldier, received orders for the US....Oklahoma...I checked the map, and I cried. I cried for a whole a day. Oklahoma is far, so different from where I am from, and above all, there is no ocean. I love the beach life; where I am from there are beautiful beaches and all I used to do in summer was to take the boat out with my family and friends and spend the day on the sea swimming, snorkelling, tanning, and fishing. A beautiful and happy life. But I had to leave all this, for.... a big question mark. I left my homecoutry with only a few lugguages, my husband, and my dogs. We got to the US and we knew nobody, we did not have a house, and we did not have a car. All around me was yellow and dry. I spent the first days closed in my hotel room, nostalgic and little bit depressed. The US have always being a dream....but probably not Oklahoma, and not at that price... but after a few days I realized that I had to roll up my sleeves and start a life...a new life here in the US...here in Oklahoma.
