So many times I post worried about "who" will read this. Be it my Aussie, or those who continue to frequent my blog despite the fact I can trace their IP address... smh....
But tonight, I decided that I'm gonna post without regard to these factors. Not that I really posted with regards to these before, but still...
Life in Australia is great. I am so happy. I think back on the last year or more (wow..has it REALLY been over a year??? yes, yes it has...) and am so blessed for the road I have taken. Has it been easy in a looonnnngggg distance relationship??? Not always, no. Imagine all the normal battles a normal relationship has and add... umm... 11K miles? Yeah. Not the easiest thing. The easiest part has been simply loving my Aussie. The love we have shared has simply never been of question or an issue. Even on our worst days, it's NEVER been a matter of love. And forgive me, but I *love* that about us. And the fact that at the end of the day, no matter what, we both have wanted to fight for "us", just shows me how much we mean to each other. And I love him dearly. If at any point someone had told me that me and my best friend would be in love an in a relationship, I would laugh in your face.... totally. I now look back on my fondest memories with the Aussie as my best friend and laugh.... who would've thought the guy and girl in Vegas harassing "Tony" the mute dealer would be in love? And speaking of Vegas...remember the people that thought *we* had gotten married, and the look on their face when we *tried* to explain the situation to them??? LMAO. Makes me seriously bust out in laughter.
Ahhh... "Tony"....lol........
So yeah, life in Australia is great, and things are great. Every morning I wish was a weekend so he could stay in bed, and everyday I hope will hurry up and end so he can come home. God, who am I?? lol.
Homesick hasn't been much of an issue. I think since I went to KY in March, I've been homesick...... for Australia and my Aussie. Don't know what we have until it's gone? Yeah, something like that. I miss my friends, but while travel nursing, I learned to miss the people I loved (if that makes sense). And all my friends would much rather me be happy than miserable...which, without Wayne I was. And would be. I've learned that I have to put me and my happiness first, and if that means me in Australia with my love...then by god, my friends just have no excuse to visit.. free accommodations!! lol.
The only miss I've had has been my niece, Erin. I think one thing I loved while she was here was the family feeling. We would all three be in the kitchen fixing dinner, doing dishes, talking over dinner with NO distractions (no tv, radio, etc). I guess I'm just approaching faster and faster the family mode. If I could be a mom (or mum) tomorrow, I would. I love Wayne and know what a good father he would be, and I have no hesitations. It's the life I want and would do it tomorrow.
Guess I should hit the sack...but why not end on some lyrics.. lyrics that I came across by accident... if you wanna know the story, just ask me... The date of this memory is May 21, 2011........ shiltoe park....
