Waiting for time to fly




One day I will be moving to Melbourne, Australia.
Even though it's what I want more than anything right now, I still don't really believe it. Everything seems to be in a very surreal state at the moment. It's extremely scary when you realize that there is a real possibility that your dreams could actually come true.

I met the man of my dreams this past summer. To make a long story short, he is the brother of an old friend and I have known his family for years. Until recently, at his sister's wedding, our paths had never quite crossed. He is from the same town that I have lived in for the past 20 years, but he has been living in Australia for half that time.

We both realized pretty quick that we are meant to be together. Unfortunately he had to return to Melbourne, to his house and job, but with the intention of refreshening up the house and renting it out through an agency for a year. He is also applying for his Aussie Citizenship, so he doesn't have to worry about being out of the country for an undetermined amount of time.

We are thinking he is going to be in Australia for about 5 months, depending on how long it takes for the citizenship to go through. Then he will return to Canada and move in with my daugther and I. Right away we will put his name on my lease contract because before I apply for a spousal visa, we have to have proof that we have been sharing a residence for at least 12 months prior to application.

He has been gone for 3 weeks now and I talk to him every night but I still don't think I can go 4 more months without seeing him. I am definitely counting the days.
