If I have not said it before, I am quite in love with my in-laws. We had a Skype conversation a few days ago and every time my husband talks to them without me they ask where I am and say they miss talking with me. In addition, they always ask me "when are you coming to Iran?" and I try to explain that the current political environment is not the best but they always say "our government has a problem but you're ok". His father even wants to come and live in Iran...I'll go for a visit but living there is a different story. We are still trying to get a visa for them, it's quite a process. But we decide to continue to try and plan a trip to Turkey to meet up with them. Which I am super excited about because I've always wanted to visit Turkey. We are thinking either the end of the year or 2013.
In other news, we are looking at buying a house...which is pretty crazy for someone like me to say. But we decided that we will be in Phoenix for quite some time because I would like to do a PhD at ASU and he wants to at least get a Master's degree. To be quite honest, I like the idea of having a home base, I've moved around so much that I do not know what it's like to live in one place (other than my parent's home) for more than a year. Don't get me wrong, I will still travel. So we've started the whole "home buying" process and it's a little stressful. Because it seems to get started and now we are waiting for w-2s from our jobs because last year we only had foreign income and it does not help that we both work for large companies. But unlike the car buying process, I'm going to take my time and make sure it's the best deal for us, I even went through 2 full days of clearing things on my credit to avoid any problems. I will keep you guys updated on House Hunt 2012. I am pretty excited about owning a house and actually making it mine...it would be a big change from what I'm use to and a major step for the hubby and I.
