Let's just say tuesday was filled with phone calls. I talked to so many lawyers, but the one that surprised me was I got a call from the DA that is in charge of Joe's case in LA. He said that on Wednesday he (marco valencia) will be arraned (spelling). Then he asked if I will be there, no because I'm flying back to LA. I guess he is pleading not gulity and the trial will start in 4-6 months. That is the time I think I would like to be there for one day any way.
I also have an appointment with the social security office in LA next week...but again we get screwed because we don't have any kids. I think I have to wait till I'm retirement age to collect his social security.
I did have a very quick chat with Joe at the cemetery...it was quick cause I think he is moved over in plot 4 not 5 but I didn't have a tape measure to check it out. Lakewood say's he is in the right spot but I'm not sure. Yeah can I have any more problems???
So as you are reading this on wednesday I'm either getting ready, getting on or getting off the plane. I also got upgraded again to first class...thank god there is still some little pleasures in my life.
- Jill, Foxy and Ana
- We (my late husband and I) moved to California in December 2008 from Brussels, Belgium. Orginally we are from Minnesota. I have 7 year old papillion-chihuahua mix named Foxy and in January I add a new puppy mill rescue that is 5 years old named Ana. She has taken up alot of my time. My Husband was killed in July 2009 now this is the story of what is happening day to day as a young widow trying to find fun and friends again.

Reading about the sudden horrible misfortune in your life is so surreal, it really feels like I'm reading a serialized novel or something, then I suddenly remember that you are a real person and have a real life and real pain and it's almost totally overwhelming. I think about you often and hope you have a strong support system. I hope you have family close by or decide to move closer to family because I really don't know what other substitute there can be. Truly sorry for your loss.
-From a reader who mentioned wanting to move to Brussels.
Thank you for your comment. are you still thinking of going to Brussels?
I am still thinking of moving to Europe - it's not easy as an American with no European ties to move to Europe (my sister is actually a Belgian by marriage and I'd love to be closer to her and my young nieces and nephews), plus I have a fairly specialized job (in medicine) and have no idea how one goes about getting equivalent qualifications (and I am too old to take another exam - if that's what they require). However, I plan on visiting Brussels in late September and hope it won't have cooled off too much. In the meantime, all I can do is lurk on your and other expat blogs and wish, wish, wish.
