This day we are waking up by dede knocking on door screaming Haydiii.

We are now going on picnic with family to our mountain house. So everyone is running around and it gets crazy. I feel its not even any idea for me to start pulling in anythimg so I just take my things and goes down and drive the car to gate, I sat there until we were leaving.

On our way to mountain house I can really feel how the car is dieing in all uphill. On the end of the road we came behind a tractor that were going at max 30 km/h and we were not even able to pass it! I had to go down at gear 1 to get some speed but then I was fucking the engine. With this car you have to be really careful how you are treating the engine becouse Ali destroyed it when he bought it by driving up over 160 km/h so this car is now never able to go over 80 km/h.

At mountain house it was sunny but so cold and after just a half hour the sun was gone and Kristin had 2 t-shirts, pyjama jacket, jacket on and also Gökhans jacket covering my ass. Only thing I was missing was gloves becouse my hands was freezing from the cold water.

Even today it started to heavy rain when we started to BBQ so Gökhan run up with grill to the balcony. Problem now is now that fire is starting to die. So everyone starts to fix and run after wood and hey and hoo, uproar I can just say. In the end we all was full and happy, Gökhans cousin Furkan even falled to sleep.

When the rain stoped we drove home and so muck better to drive downhill then up! The car was going lika a rocket!

Today we have been running here and there to fix the last things for signing. First of all we were gonna drive Ali to his work and then took his car. 

Then we went to fix was the second health report, a paper that we can fill in test results of Hepatit, HIV and AIDS. This test we are not needed to take, just if we want to make sure that non of us has it. Gökhan have taking this test before when he has started a new job and I have vaccenation against hepatit. So we desided not to take this test.

After we went to carsi to a translater and he said that we could get it done in 2 hour. This translation costed totally 150 TL so 30 TL for eash paper but we got discount becouse Gökhan just finished army so we just payed 100 TL. So nice!!

Under that time we sat at uncles store, went to eat tantuni and Gökhan played backgammon with his friend. It started raining, lightning, thunder and became so cold. But we were lucky becouse when those 2 hours had passed also the rain stoped. So we went to get the papers and ran to Notar to get stamps that proff that its legal papers. This stamps was so expencive 185 TL they wanted and no discount!!

After that we drove to the goverment house closest to our house there we will get married. They looked at the papers and Gökhans Nüfus paper was wrong so we had to go and fix that. When we once again come to them they say Gökhans ID copy is bad and they wanted my ID copy too. Gökhan run to fix that, when he comes back they say we need to translate my passport copy and they argue about my birth dates and they dident understand why it sometime had 4 extra numbers. So tomorrow we once again have to go to carsi and fix my passport copy. It really suck, why they want my passport copy translated?! It have nothing with it to do.

But at least they could give us a date for marrige anyway ... so everyone, monday the 16 may at 13:00 we are gonna get married!!

Hi everyone I am here in Mersin and I am alive!

Life is better then it ever been and we are enjoying life. Yesterdays travel went good, all I have to complain about was the weather Istanbul offered, SO COLD! WHen they open the gates at the airport everyone was freezing so bad, and they were not bording just 1 plane at a time no no they were bording 3 flights so the wind came from everywhere.

When I finally was in Mersin I came to the international airport like last time and it was full of people coming from Mekka. I had to tell the woman showing us the way that she had to call the bus to make sure it was waiting me, becouse last time I almost missed it. I was running to the bus and just when I was some meter from it I see a man showing up on my side  running towards me. And jumps infront of me and guess who!? Yeap it was Gokhan!! I got so choked that I even dident realise that it was him, all I was focusing on was to get on that bus. AHah!! It must have been looking so funny!

Ali came and picked us up and in the car they had erik (plums) and dut (mulberry) for me, so good!

I am leaving now!! Wohooo!!

It is 5 weeks seen I was there and now I will finally go back, sadly for just 9 days but its better then nothing. So at 13:55 I am sitting on the plane from Arlanda to Istanbul, wish me luck and good weather!

I absolutely love and adore my husband for what he is doing for me!

I am so stressed out from work, finding an apartment and all about our signing plus Gökhans residence permit. I am even geting so stressed up for what bus I will take to the airport on tuesday ... and whats the piont with that?

So today I just wanted to hide in my room but my man said go somewhere and so I did, I went to uppsala. It was so fantastic to come from this little village and see some new people, new areas and stress down. I took a long lunch with dessert at IKEA and after that I walked around and looked in stores. I found something for my husband that we will use now when I am down there for this wonderful 9 days we will get together. My bag is even already packed, that much I am looking forward to be with him!

When I was searching around on the net today I found this site MezeHouse, its a  woman bloging about food, mostly turkish. Its perfect for us that have husbands from out of Sweden, so we can learn some of our husbands cultur!

Two days ago I recived a wedding invitation on facebook!

So smart to send the invitation that way, no costs for card and stamps and if anything changes it will be much more easy to get out to everyone fast. This is something Gökhan and I have to think about! Specially when my relatives probably have lots of questions how everything will pursue.
