Some of my friends were joking before I came to Turkey, "Don't fall in love." But I did fall...Hard! What do WE do now? Change our everything...life, country, culture, language, goals, ideas for the future and what we thought our lives should be like...Or do we forget it ever happened and know we will always have a friend in a far away place? Many tears will be shed...many, many smiles too...

I say stay here in Turkey and enjoy your new love. It seems like you love the country, and its people. The US is not going anywhere. Enjoy your life the way it comes to you.
My 2 cents.

i just found your blog and wanted to say i love it -- it s a banal thought, but it is as easy as it gets. for a long time i have studied Turkish history and culture, and now live in a heavily Turkish populated neighborhood of Berlin (though i am originally from Romania). incidentally, i have for one year studied in Minneapolis and fell in love there with a wonderful man -- it's the kind of story which took me and still is taking us all over the world -- i wonder where it will end or if it will continue ad nauseam - a world-wind of new cities to live in, foods to try, languages to learn and think into, habits to grow out of and new ideas to consider.
all the best of luck with the new addition to your family and take care!
