Ups and Downs
Hey All,
Sorry it's been a while since I got on the net and left a post... I know how you all hang out for them SSOOOOOO much!!! hehehe...
The reason for my absence is that I have moved to stay with a new person, my mother's friend - Michele, and she has a very old and slow computer so it just isn't as easy and fun to get on the computer and write away and do heaps of stuff.
But, here I am, writing from a friend's place... yay!!!
Firstly, I need to say to all you mothers out there - Merilee, Josephine, Debra, Bianca, and all of you - HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!!!!!! I hope you all had a lovely day and please know that Daniel and I were thinking of you all and wishing you all a happy mother's day.
Secondly, Happy Birthday to John Kung and Sarah McIntyre. I miss you guys and hope you had/have a wonderful birthday!!!!!!!!!
So, Daniel and I... Well, I won't lie to you all. It is starting to get really hard. The worst is just not being able to chat. Like, we talk quite regularly but we can't just sit down and have a big old gas-bag for hours because it's just too expensive. I'd say that's the hardest... As well as, I must say, missing the hugs. It's really weird, but of all the physical interactions a married couple may have (I won't go into details, don't worry), more than kisses, more that anything else, I miss the hugs. Just the way Daniel gives me a big, strong hug at the end of a hard day or in the middle of an afternoon we're spending together, just out of the blue. Big Daniel Hugs!!!! That is what is the WORST!!!!!!
So, the stress of not being able to just chat, and of no hugs, has led to us to starting to have, not fights as such, but just not nice conversations. As most of you know, Daniel and I have survived many an all-out-row, so we will be fine. It's just really tough at the moment. But, so you all know, the process of Daniel moving over here is going fine (if not a little slower that we'd like.... however, still faster than I anticipated, so THAT'S good). We are in the last stages of proving my job to the government so they can give Daniel his Greencard and in two weeks he goes into the Embassy for his, hopefully, final interview. We are looking forward to the likelihood that he will be able to fly over in early June.
Speaking of my job, I am actually really enjoying it... It's nothing permanent and I have met a few contacts that could pan out into something full-time, 9-5 sort of thing. But, for the time being (especially because of all the extra things I'm trying to organize) I'm really enjoying the flexible hours and ease of working in a nice restaurant. For those of you in Sydney, I'm working in a place that is very similar (though MUCH smaller) to the James Squires Brewpub down near Cockle Bay. Except it's all Belgian. ALL Belgian beers, mostly Belgian, but also some French, food and GREAT desserts. All of the people (actually, I should say guys because apart from one of the owners, I'm the ONLY female who works there) who work there are really lovely and most of them are European and very protective. It's really wonderful, I've gotten a great job, that'll pay quite well, and have immediately been adopted by about 4 big brother's. I really do feel like the little sister in a big family business (none of the guys are related to each-other, it's just the feel of the place) which is perfect for me, because I can be myself and be really friendly and bubbly and I'm treated wonderfully. So, yeah, I have really got NO complaints about where I work. I am really loving it. I feel really lucky to have landed that job.
So, all in all, I'd say I'm doing A-O.K. In fact, both Daniel and I are. It's hard and there are bad days but overly, YES, we are doing JUST FINE!!!! Keep us both in your prayers (or whatever your particular version of saying a prayer may be) and remember that we both Love and Miss you all!!!!!!
As Always, Love,
Taliesen.
