Well, time is moving along and while it's still a waiting game, we ARE making progress!
John is working on getting established through soccer, driving, and getting to know his new neighbors...
We are still waiting for news on the work permit, and all sorts of other paperwork, but it'll happen!
While we wait, we are learning about selling on E-Bay, making our home perfect for the kids, looking forward to visits from England, and well, just taking advantage of every minute we have together.
We've made lots of friends and are constantly amazed at the others we have met here locally who have either met someone online or know someone close to them who is another example of online success! A very positive and encouraging thing.
It's been a while since I've written, but then, when you are having so much fun just living your life, it's hard to stop and sit long enough to do this... but I'll try to get better at it. I think it's important to let others know that life can come to you in so many incredible ways, and for us, this has been the life we have always wanted... He's what I've always wanted and when we are finally all settled in (does that ever really happen???) I know we will look back on these days and just smile... well, we'll fall down laughing and end up...oh hahahaha.... never mind....
Keep the faith...
Loving him,

A New Emblem for England?
Joseph and his Valentine Dog, of course there is also the newest addition to my car...lol...
We got this at the mall, the license plate that is... lol...
Now it sits at the back of my car... and in the window... alongside his white cowboy hat and my red one...
We are working on getting everything changed over to my new name now... gotta love it. So many things to do, always busy here. I guess that's a good thing.
Spring has sprung and the weather is allowing us to enjoy the beauty of this part of the country... I have the sunburned arms to prove it!
Between soccer games, walks in the park, just driving around.. it's all good.
Livin' and lovin' it...

Feelings
I am sat here on a hot summer's day, birds singing, Buttercup working away on her pc, feeling just so happy. When I just think of how happy I am, the times I had dreamt of being like this. Beinging loved in a way I never knew, always thinking it only happened in the films.
I think we all think that until it happens to us, god and when it does, the feelings are just so wonderful. All through life men and women have tried to write books or songs or make films, trying to show us all about being in love. When you read the books or hear the songs or see the films, we all think why can't that happen to me. I know most people want just to be happy, don't we all. I know men want to be the knight on the white horse or be the hero, thats life. thats why we like the songs, books and films. They all put us in a world that we dream about, it takes you away from the normal way of life, you are the guy in the film or the woman.
Well I am a very very romantic person, we have all been there, the romantic meals, low lights, the music in the background. Then again how many times have you done all that, then thought whats the point? Then in the end you just give up, back to the normal boring way of life.
Well now I am one of those people who does not dream about being with my soulmate, my true love. The reason is, I found her and am with her. She's everything I have ever wanted, She's just everything. My feelings for her are just so true, my heart has always been her's.
I can put my hand on my heart and say I am in love with my soulmate and she's my wife. Even my kids can see and hear it in my voice just how happy I am. I think that's the feeling you get when you find your love, you can't put it into words or a book or on a film. They are just there inside you and you both have them, that's why you don't need the dreams anymore... plus every moment with them is romantic, that's always there...........John

Dreams
I just wanted to let people out there, who think that they are alone and think that there is nothing out there for them, may even think that they will never find love. Well you are not alone and never give up on finding love. There are millions of people who think the same way. I was one of those people, oh I have been there, looking at myself, thinking who would want this. Before that I was married, doing what a lot of people do, just going along with life, doing the normal everyday things. When it all ended, it was upsetting, but at the same time was a relief, I didn't have to go along with things I didn't like anymore. I could do what I wanted to do, buy things I wanted, go and do what ever I wanted.
I got to that much of a low, I was drinking a lot and I mean way to much. Working and looking after my kids and drinking whenever I was alone. Thinking life was the pits, looking at myself, thinking this is what my life has come to. Oh I have been there crying, feeling sorry for myself, no light at the end of the tunnel. Was at that much of a low, don't think at one time I would still be here. I know it gets bad, at times would look around and think what's it all for, there as to be more to life than this. Plus everyone else would have the luck, but never me, everyone else was better off than me. Yes like most people all I wanted was to be with the love of my life. To hold her, laugh and smile, just to be happy, you all know what I mean. The thing was I didn't know who the love of my life was, she was just in my head.
Then when I did find her, just my luck, she was 3500 miles away. Then that's when it all hit me, oh I could feel sorry for myself and just walk away. Just let her go and get on with life, thinking of what may have been. Yes all my friends told me I was mad, people told me I was out of my mind, some even told me I needed to grow up. What they didn't understand, don't even think she did at first, she was everything to me.
Thats when life started for me, when she came into my life. I saw the world and everything in it in a different light. I didn't care or want anything in life as much as I wanted her. So I had to think, do I do what everyone tells me or do I go with my feelings?
Well it was not hard to think about. For the first time in my life this was what I wanted. This was the love of my life. Nothing was going to stop me from showing her just how much she meant to me. Oh I had to take the risk, she may not love me, but nothing was going to stop me, she had to know how much I loved her and wanted to be with her.
Now we are man and wife. What I am trying to say is don't give up. Hope is always there and never ever give up on your dreams. There is someone out there for us all. Plus you never know when you will find it. It took me 43 years to find my soulmate, the love of my life. One day all our dreams come true, we just never know when.......John
