In America with my wife

How good it is to finally join my wife in the United States of America, particularly Cheyenne, Wyoming. It was a difficult journey to this place, but as God the Almighty has made a way we are now living together as husband and wife. I recieved my visa in the first week of August 2009 and made my trip on my birthday, the 12th of August. So I had the opportunity to spend my birthday in the air. This trip was my first experience to travel for such a long time in the air. It was funny, my heart was right in my hands (or as my wife has told me in the US they way 'My stomach was in my throat'). There were no problems flying as I made my way through from Sierra Leone to Gambia, to Senegal, to Dulles International airport and finally to the airport in Denver, Colorado where I proceed to drive to Cheyenne, Wyoming.

Life here is nice. Back in Sierra Leone there was group of people, which was made up of friends and family, I had close at hand. I had something to talk about all the time, it was seen as time wasted, but i feel good in wasting time in such a way that help my well being by being part of a larger community. I am not saying that life here is not good, but each day I know that the only person that makes me smile is about to leave for work at 8:00am and will only return 4:30. It makes me sick, again it's not a issue, but how i feel.


Thanks to God I am volunteering for a little girls soccer (football) team as a coach. I am also playing in a recreational soccer club. I have played five games with two wins, one loss and two draws. As a soccer minded person who has played since birth and a die-heart Arsenal fan, the game sometimes look very funny.
My number here in the states is 307-760-1343. Until later...
