#36 — Eeeeee!

We’re jobless no more! After -long-months- of not having a steady income, we are both working! Which obviously mean WE CAN PLAN A VISIT ONCE AGAIN.

Not having an income can be a problem in any relationship, but it’s a very important issue when you’re in an international long distance relationship. Plane tickets, passports, visas, so many things to consider! We won’t be able to see each other in December like last year, but we’re trying it’s the earliest we can. Being apart for over a year has been hard on us, and we choose to not use this site to bitch about it, heh.

Hello everyone once again! We have been pretty distracted lately… and it was all the World Cup’s fault. I get a little carried on… and got the Boy hooked up on it too. He even wore my country’s t-shirt and was online in every single match (even the really early ones) so we could watch it together (too bad that he had 5 seconds delay, so he already knew when there was a goal cause I was celebrating!). There was even a match during his birthday. Poor Boy, the things he does for me.

He found it! The Boy was so worried that he had lost his passport… the stamps of his first visit are an important memory for him, and it was heartbreaking to think that we lost that little piece of memorabillia. But luckily he found it…

It’s been already a month since he got here, and in a couple of days it will be a month since he left. Time flies, and it still feels irreal that he has actually been here. I’m gonna post some sketches I made about the trip, and write something related to them. Each night, I sat on my bed with my laptop on, and wrote what we did that day, to keep track of every day. I have a weird memory, I remember facts and images, but situations, they kinda get blurred… I have an active imagination, so sometimes I fear that I imagine memories. Thus I decided to write down everything, and to take a lot of photos. A loooooot. I have like 5GB of photos and videos of this trip and yet it still doesn’t seem enough. I know the Boy doesn’t like to have his photo taken, he thinks he’s not good looking at all. But to me he is so handsome, that I needed to capture each expression and gesture (and a couple of blackmail-worthy sleeping pics). He doesn’t like his smile, but I adore it, and at first he didn’t want to openly smile for the photos, but after a while he understood that I was being honest (as if I didn’t say it every day over Skype!) and gave me that smile that makes me melt.

We also wrote a list of “100 things to do together” (not all of them related to this trip) and this was one of those items: “Take lots of photos together”.

(This sketch is based off one of my favorite photos of us!)

Arrivals…

So nervous & excited… I will see him in person after almost three years, and for the first time since we started dating… ASDFGHJ I’M SO NERVOUS! Not being able to get in touch today to know if he got to the gates or anything is gonna be a torture. And to think that I have to wake up at 6 am next day to get to the airport to pick him up… I’m gonna be so nervous I won’t be able to say a word and just mumble. I know I’ll drop some tears on his shoulder, that’s just gonna be inevitable. The days before have been a bit rocky cause we were so nervous and worried about things not going the way we wanted, passport issues and the such… but it’s finally happening, isn’t it? Or am I just imagining it all?

Aaah!

Yes we are that excited! 23 days until we see each other in person again! The boy’s pretty nervous cause it’ll be his first time in another country, he doesn’t know the language and doesn’t like airplanes either. But he’s doing all that to spend my birthday with me (= in a month and a day!). We have talked about changing our anniversary date to the day we first kiss… but we haven’t decided on anything yet. We focus more on what’s happening now and the future than celebration dates…

I’m working on a couple of xmas gifts for him (and I know he’s doing the same for my birthday but he doesn’t wanna tell me what it is. Pft.), also cleaning the house and getting ready to see him! So excited! My friends want to meet him, too.  (I’ll have to be the interpreter, sigh.) Many friends are very happy for us. Others haven’t supported us, but we’re thankful for the ones who have. They are the ones that count.

I can’t wait to hug you!
