The count down is on again!

Anyone heard from Wenchie?

I wonder how her trip is, I hope she is having a fabulous time.

Yes mis shy I am having a fab time.

My bag was recovered, but some where I lost my power adaptor so we had to buy a new one. but I should have proper phone and internet use tonight, which we are both anxious for actually.

Every thing is just more than I could have imagined. The only weird thing really is how it doesn't feel weird. I feel very much at home and like I belong here. I don't know how else to discribe it.

I've met his folks as well, his mom is simply lovely. Had lunch with her for her birthday today.

We haven't had much of a chance to see things, what with most of the city being closed on sunday (which is just amazing to me!) and his mom's birthday today, but I still have plenty of time for that.

Just checking in to let all know that I am simply in heaven.

Nope, after seeing St. Patrick's shortly after my last post I'm convinced heaven is here. I was totally blown away. That building is like ones I've deamed of since I was a little girl.

 

[sexycaz22]

Glad to hear things are going well!

Hey you! I'm sorry I have been so terrible about keeping in touch. I can't believe it's been a year now since my trip to see you.

I'm so glad that you are getting to be with jounar. I hope everything is wonderful!

THe only way it could be more perfect would be if it wasn't ending.

There has been a slight touch of sadness looming over the both of us starting mid yesterday. Our perfect moment in heaven is coming to a close, but what amazes me is how time seems to have slowed down while I have been here. The days have been very long.

I feel like I've been here so much longer than a week. Not just because of the love whirlwind, but I just feel like I fit here. It's weird I can't explain it other than I truely feel like I'm home.

I'm soaking up every drop of him our last few days and hours together, and then I'll start counting down the days to my next trip, and working towards a perminate stay.

Well, I'm back in philly waiting for my flight back to Ohio. Can't really say home cause it just doesn't feel like it. It's so weird how quickly I just fell in over there, but it really did feel like home.

I miss him so much already, and now we go back to only getting a couple hours a week on chat as I'm back working nights. I don't think I have ever had to do anything so hard as leaving him at the security point at the airport. He was such a rock tho, like he always is. He kept me smiling up until the end, even with tears forming in his eyes.

If I wasn't in love before this trip, I deffo be after.

 

[the captians wench]

Well my first day back and I'm not adjusting very well. Everything reminds me of him, and just makes me miss him so much. Having to eat alone, going places myself, waking up with out him growling "go back to sleep". The only thing I seem to have adjusted back to with no trouble is the time change. I woke up at 9am this morning. seems no matter where I'm at in the world I will be awake at 9am local time


I knew it would be hard coming back, but couldn't imagine it would be this hard. He's having a really hard time as well. I have a shirt of his that I have over a pillow and it helps a lot, but it's not him. I'm trying hard not to focas on the fact that he's not here, and just remember all the fun we had and the time we did have to enjoy each other, and remember I will be back again.

So now it's just hoping that March looks good for my next trip. But in the mean time I will save every dime I can so I can get back...and start filling out paper work to try to get long term residency.

 

[Homburg]

As motivated as you are? You'll make it work, wenchie.

Still smiling that it worked out so very well

 

[myinnerslut]

l. I have a shirt of his that I have over a pillow and it helps a lot, but it's not him.

i know what you mean, i used to keep one of Masters shirts over a pillow and now i keep a vest of him. its helpul, but it just isnt the same.

it is hard, but it al seems to work out in the end. i always say when people ask me how i cn stand to do this distance thing "i love him more then i hate the distance."

*giggles* It really did work out beautifully, and we talked a lot and got a lot of things out in the open. He is such a wonderful man.

I'm used to people thinking I'm looney for keeping up such a long distance relationship. It's funny because the people who usually critisize me the most (my family) are the most supportive of it. And telling people that I was seeing him for the first time after carrying on a 3 year relationship "online" really got some funny looks and a lot of advice, not to mention the interigation at the customs lines in both london and dublin. Tho london was a lot more intence. They asked for everything but his shoe size.

 

[rida]

Just wanted to say how happy I am that things worked out beautifully in r/l for you two!

I'm sure you'll find a way to move back "home".

Isn't it amazing how sometimes a place we have never been feels so familiar and right?

Keeping my finger crossed that your March trip and the rest of the planning will go smoothly.

 

[the captians wench]

So mom is getting more supportive of the idea of me moving to the other side of the pond. She's still not thrilled, but she's listening, and giving advice rather than just telling me I won't be happy or I can't do it (like she could stop me)

Tho, I think this sudden burst of support might stem from the fact that I can't seem to find a way to be able to work there with out getting married first. Gaining permission to live there would be hard enough, but working with out any sort of EEU connection looks near impossible and is only reinforced by Mcd's lack of will to help me even tho they are very interested in my tallents.

The more I think about it, the more it just makes sence on my part to get married first. Even if I'm there temporarily, I'd have to pretty much down size to just a couple of bags and maybe a few boxes. I'd have to quit my job here, sell my van and pretty much go down to nothing. To do that with out even the security of marriage is kinda a really big leap of faith. If at the end of my visa, we were still unmarried, I'd have to come back and start my life over from the ground up with no job, no money, no car, and no home. That's a scarey prospect, but very much a reality if I got a visa and didn't get married before it expired. Most of the visa's require written statements that you intend to come back to your country at the end of your visa from employers or landlords, or the holder's of your morgage.

I'm not really freaking out about it now, not like I was before, just pondering over it. I'm fairly confident in what has to be done in order to get permission to land and stay there long term, but I'm not sure we are ready yet. I want to be, but I don't think we are there quite yet, close, but not there.

So for now I'm going to stop focasing on moving over there. I've done about all of the research that I possibly could for it now. Insted, I'm going to do as he told me and focas on bettering my self here as far as my job is concerned and such and just let things go where it will and plan on spending every holiday with him.

There's little more I can do than that.

My first family function was since I've been back was this past Saturday.

We had a party for my brother's coming home. He's been back (at his station in Kansas) for nearly a month, but this is the first time that he has been back with the rest of his family. We all put up yellow ribbons infront of our house when he left. Grandma's was the first to go up, and so as part of his home coming he cut it down. No more playing in the sandbox for my baby bro.

But later we were all inside, and one of my aunts and uncles are a photographing couple, they make a living off of their photography. They were talking about one of thier photos, and I looked at mom and asked if she had "the dragon" with her. Sure enough she did and promptly passed it around. Instantly I became a celebraty (my family having roots in Ireland many, many, many generations ago) and I was swarmed with questions. I could feel my face light up as I remembered all of the beautiful details.

Of course then the question came up, "so why Ireland?". I blushed and instantly I heard "a man". *giggles* so then the questions turned to ones about him, and for the first time in 3 years I shared with my entire extended family the relationship that I have continued for that time.

So I guess the rumors that I'm really gay will stop. And all of the other non sence about why I don't have a man. It's kind of freeing in a way for it to be all in the open, and no having been there with him my family can accept it as a valid relationship where as befor they just didn't understand.

Of course now they all want to know when he's coming here.

Glad to hear both that you brother got home safe, and that you had a good time

 

[the captians wench]

5 and a half months until my next trip and we are both already antsy.

it really is amaizing how short a time that seems now. It's also funny to me how I feel like traveling there is just a normal part of life. Like visiting my mom down the block. He just doesn't seem as far away lately. I still miss him a lot and often, but it's not the same some how.

I just can't wait to get back, and longer this time as well, 15days.
