    Moving to Australia: The Distance Finally Closed!

    I can't believe it!! My WHV was granted in under 2 days!!!

    This November my SO will be coming back to the states to spend Thanksgiving with me, and on December 11th we will be flying back to Australia together. I can't believe it is all finally happening. We just had our first meet in July, and it was magical. Next month will be our first year anniversary. After he left we initially decided that I would just go over there for about a month and a half, but while doing the math, adding up ticket prices, and all the other finances of a vacation on the other side of the world, we decided. Why not just save about 1-2 grand more than what I was already going to be spending in a month and a half vacation, and just stay for an entire year, and work!?

    So, we made the decision. I would be moving in December. But so many things came up, and plans got changed, and changed back. Things didn't seem to be working out money-wise. Until recently. We made the plan for him to come here for Thanksgiving. I told my parents, and they thought it would be a better idea to see him one more time before I left with him for an entire year (btw they love him, I couldn't have been any luckier!). They even offered to pay for my one-way flight there, if he came here to help me pack (and be the beautiful gentleman he is), and fly back with me. I'm not sure how it's all worked out like this, because it feels like a dream, but it's happening!

    So on December 11th, I will be moving to Australia, and the crazy thought is, I might never have to say goodbye to him again. They will be a thing of the past. How did we manage to get here so fast? I can't help but thank God that it's all worked out.

    However, there is one last thing we're waiting on. His leave from work getting approved. I do ask that everyone here crosses their fingers and silently wishes us luck for the leave

                congratulations
                I made love to him only twice, she thought and looked at the man laying asleep beside her. And yet still it is as if we have been together forever, as if he has always known my life, my soul, my body, my light, my pain

                    That's awesome, congrats
                    When two hearts are meant for each other, no distance is too far,
                    no time is too long, and no other love can break them apart.

                          Thank you! I might just do fast food, since that's my specialty -_- lol. I've been a supervisor at KFC here in the US, so if worst comes to worst and I can't find a job I'd prefer, then KFC it is!
