Out with the old

There has been a change of pace in my life. I have recently been let go at my job so that kinda puts a damper on things. But the Girl and I see this as a way to move on with my life. Anyone who knows me knows that the last 4 years hadn’t been easy on me. The only saving grace is that I fell in love with her. She helps me in ways that no one else can. This is why I have decided not to let this get me down, and once again, “with her support I feel like I can do anything”.

I have found an interest loose leaf tea, and it gets me off my ass in the morning during this hunt for a new job. When I was visiting Girl I was introduced to this regional drink called Mate. THIS STUFF IS AMAZING! I liked it so much I wasn’t going to go home without bringing some with me. Needless to say, getting 3 packages of Mate thought the airport was a fun trip *thumbs up to TSA*. I drink it all the time from the gourd I got when I was down there (I use my bombilla so much the coating is now tarnished). Mate is so much healthier for me than those damn energy drinks I used to drink all the time; it keeps me active for much longer time, as much kick as a cup of coffee without the jitters.

Back to loose leaf tea, I have found several stores that carry it here, and I’m amazed at the wide range of flavors they offer. I have a friend that used to work at a tea shop and he gave me an infuser with some samples of tea in exchange of some Mate. The green tea he gave is amazing, I liked it so much I went and found some samples online to try as well, as you can see from the picture. I am also cutting out most of the processed crap that was in my diet, trying to eat and drink better. This is all part of me trying to make better choices and live a healthier life for her.

Learning from misakes

One thing that these last few weeks have taught me, is that you can never be too careful when it comes to the ones you love. I have said some pretty hurtful things, and I have let myself down, as well as her. Some things can not be forgiven, and some things just scar too deep to let go.

Please learn from my mistake; you have to think about the things you want to say, every word of it. Because if you don’t mean exactly what the words you’re typing, or saying out loud, DON’T SAY THEM! You may not know how much it will hurt your partner.

I am so so sorry my love, I will not let you down like that again.

On a lighter note, I might be getting a better paying job here soon. Also, she finally got her degree. Congrats Girl!!! I am sorry I couldn’t be there for that. If my job works out, I will be able to see you more than once a year *crosses fingers*. Wish me luck.

Snow on the ground

It has finaly stopped snowing here, and I’m so glad I could spend the day with my girl on Skype. Being shut-in without her would have been a nightmare. I had to go outside to get something out of my car and thank goodness that VW lets you roll down the windows from the key in the door, otherwise I would have spent all day digging my car out. I put my laptop up in the window and let her see me (it doesn’t snow where she lives) run though snow up to my waist in some places. That’s right, MY WAIST!

Althrough only having her on Skype just doesn’t feel like it’s enough… I want her by my side now more than ever.

Some days I’m so frustrated and I miss him so much that I just hug his t-shirt while I’m in bed. Our plans to visit each other keep failing because of money and it’s just so hard when you can’t find a way around it. If you and your significant other are apart by a few hours by car, just hop in it and go visit them. Do it for the ones that are stuck in spending thousands of dollars in a plane ticket and visas to just get to hug each other… I am thankful for the fact that my boy and I get to spend hours in Skype because of our schedules, but I just wanna be able to hold his hand.

1 year and counting…

“I love you”.

So a year ago this month we looked at each other though a webcam and said those wonderful words. Since then, we have had our ups and downs like any couple. But we just send to let it roll off and we focus on the best of it.

And now a year later we are still doing the same dorky things, I make the same goofy faces. And the feelings are still there. Every time I say it it’s like it was the first time.

That is something I don’t think I can ever get used to. The fact that there is another person out there that loves me the same way, that feels the same way towards me.

Happy one year, baby!! And let’s make this one of many many many more to come.

Who would have thought that there will come a day when we would be sharing these feelings? It’s weird how life works. Even if we come from different cultures and are apart thousands of miles, it feels as if we have been made for each other.

The language of love is only one.

I love you!
