One Heart

My name is Claire, and I'm currently engaged to an Egyptian named Mohamed, who is everything and more to me. This is our blog, and it serves to keep everyone updated throughout the world of our times in Egypt, as well as a memorandum for our future.

Je vis en Egypte depuis Juin 2009

Ma vie et mes projets à cet endroit:

Obviously I don't live there yet, I'm moving June 24th. But I will be living in a village with about 2,000 people in the "district" of Damietta.

Ma vie professionnelle, mon métier:

Wife

Ce que j'y aime:

Just about everything: The people especially, since my family will be there, the lifesyle, the culture, and the newness of it all.

Ce que je n'y aime pas:

My only complaints are the moquitoes, which always have a go at me and eat me to pieces :(, and the harshness of some of the people in the village that holds back the success of those who want to try to live a good and successful life.

J'ai vécu aux Etats Unis de Aout 2008 à Mai 2009

Ma vie et mes projets à cet endroit:

Attended Georgetown College in Georgetown, Kentucky for one year.

Ma vie professionnelle, mon métier:

Student.

Ce que j'y ai aimé:

I really loved the college, the education system of the college, the people that I met, and the small town. Getting a view into the world of Derby racing was pretty neat too.

Ce que je n'y ai pas aimé:

I didn't like the mix of the North and the South. I would rather have just the North.

J'ai vécu aux Etats Unis de Juillet 1999 à Aout 2008

Ma vie et mes projets à cet endroit:

I have lived in Bessemer, Alabama in two seperate locations, but since I haven't lived here my whole life, I don't feel like I fit in at all.

Ce que j'y ai aimé:

I like the hospitality and respect that is in the South, but that's about all that I like.

Ce que je n'y ai pas aimé:

I really don't like the racism at all, or the southern accents, the redneck lifestyle, the car racing, the hunting, or probably anything else that you can associate with the South.

J'ai vécu aux Etats Unis de Décembre 1997 à Juillet 1999

Ma vie et mes projets à cet endroit:

We lived in a small Jewish Neighborhood in New Haven, Connecticut that was probably one of the coolest experiences in my life. Not being Jewish myself, I got to learn a lot of things about another religion and culture. The neighborhood was a blast, we had a lake behind our house that was hidden in the woods that we could go to at anytime, and I loved my school.

Ce que j'y ai aimé:

I loved everything about Connecticut.

Ce que je n'y ai pas aimé:

I guess the only thing that I didn't like about this location is that it let me leave it. :(

J'ai vécu aux Etats Unis de Juin 1994 à Décembre 1997

Ma vie et mes projets à cet endroit:

I lived in several different places in New Hampshire, including Manchester and Derry.

Ce que j'y ai aimé:

I loved the weather, the mountains, the scenic drives, the small communities, the beautiful winter snowfalls, the wonderful spring time flowers, the portrait falls where all of the trees turned colors at the same time, the people that I lived near and went to school with, the dairy farms, the small town ice cream stands, and the apple orchards. Overall, New Hampshire was the most amazing place that I have lived in my lifetime.

Ce que je n'y ai pas aimé:

Not a single thing that I didn't like about New Hampshire.

J'ai vécu aux Etats Unis de Juillet 1991 à Juin 1994

Ma vie et mes projets à cet endroit:

I moved to Pensacola, Florida in 1991, and in 1993 I moved to Panama City, Florida, where my sister was born.

Ce que j'y ai aimé:

I loved being close to my grandparents, and the awesome neighbors that we had. I also loved being so close to the bay and the beach and being able to swim all of the time, though I don't like swimming or open water today.

Ce que je n'y ai pas aimé:

I don't recall disliking anything in either place.

J'ai vécu aux Etats Unis de Novembre 1989 à Juillet 1991

Ma vie et mes projets à cet endroit:

I was born in Corpus Christi, Texas. I don't remember much about it, but I do remember that the lifestyle of back then was a lot different than it is today. The city was also in better shape than it is now.

Ce que j'y ai aimé:

Like I said, I don't remember much about it. But I liked the friendly squirrel that inhabited my backyard, as well as all of the tadpoles.

Ce que je n'y ai pas aimé:

I don't remember disliking anything about it. I'm sure that I was too young to care anyway.
