Hi!
Well, i finally met my love for the first time on the 20th September, so here's what happened for those who are interested.
My flight into Edmonton was delayed by 2 hours so i spent 5 hours in Gatwick airport slowly going outta my mind as i hadn't flown before. Luckily as i had my cell i text my SO to tell him i'd been delayed so he didnt have to wait ages for me at the airport, well thats what we thought anyway.....
After landing,i was questioned by immigration and told i had to answer further questions, i went into PANIC mode! I honestly thought i was going to be put straight back on the plane without to much as being in the same room as my darling. They had concerns over my finacial situation as i was currently unemployed and i dont think it helped i told them i met my SO via facebook. I had to wait in a line-up for 45 minutes till i was called over. I answered all the extra questions and they asked for my So's number so they could call him to confirm the answers i'd given and ask if anything should happen to me would he cover the cost (i had travel insurance but forgot to print out the document and they couldnt except the email on my phone) I was close to tears while they were on the phone, then she said he had pretty much confirmed everything i'd said. She said he was waiting for me and he sounded alot calmer than i looked lol.... then she stamped my passport wished me good luck and i was free to go!! I was shaking so bad as i arrived at the double doors that lead into the arrivals area, my stomach was like the inside of a washing machine. I paused,straightened my Leafs Jersey, took a deep breath and walked through and there he was, my handsome man wearing his blue Leafs jersey (we decided we'd wear them so we could find each other... but by the time i came out there were only 2 other people waiting in arrivals)
I felt a huge smile spread across my face, he was smiling as he walked the few steps to me and we hugged, all the nerves i had disappeared in that single moment. I knew that i'd made the right choice, that i loved this man and it wasn't some crazy internet infatuation or some make believe relationship. I met his mother too as she had driven him to the airport, she gave me a hug too and we headed out towards the car. We talked about the flight, what had caused the hold up in the airport ect.. My SO and I just kept staring at eachother with huge grins on our faces, and poking each other in the arm, unable to believe that the person we'd fallen in love with just over 3 years ago was there in front of us. He picked a purple flower from a plant we passed and i'm 99.9% sure i blushed as i put it in the lace holes of my jersey, he said i didnt have to keep it but i there was no way i was throwing it away.
In the car, we held hands still smiling on a huge scale and staring so contently at each other. He couldnt believe how skinny my fingers are, he kissed the back of my hand and i melted, hugging his arm as hard as i could. We stopped at a Dennys for something to eat (i have never seen such a huge salad in all my life) we made small talk as we ate, took a break to apply some chapstick as my lips were pretty dry. My SO asked me the flavour, i said cherry and i couldnt take my eyes off his lips (always loved his lips
) and we shared our first kiss a few minutes later. It was amazing, i didnt care that i was in the middle of a resturant and neither did he. He did say that my chapstick was definitely cherry flavoured though 
We had an amazing week together, watching tv (coupling is hilarious), playing video games, drinking Budweiser, we went to the movies and all manner of wonderful things. Leaving him is by far the hardest thing i have ever had to do, i've cried on and off since sunday night (i was still with him till late tuesday afternoon)
He is where my future lies, of that i am 100% certain now. But it still hurts to know that when i go to sleep tonight he wont be snoring next to me.
