Day 1 The Restless Awakening




Finally, the day has arrived! As my wife and I sit in O’Hare Airport in Chicago, all I could think about was the events that had led us to this audacious change in our lives. Since I’ve been alive, I wanted to leave Virginia, but I never thought that I would be moving to the Middle East. While looking at the royal blue and flashing red lights out of the terminal window all I could think about was the love I have for my wife, and how much I could not wait to break mundane monotonous day-to-day life that we had in Richmond. Every breath that I took was filled with nervousness and anticipation, which I attempted to hide by playing with my phone and I pod. As I stepped on to the humongous tin building that the stewardess referred to as a plane an epiphany hit, it was finally time for me to smell the coffee and begin the start of my new life. --Thomas
