rahhhhhhhh
ok well i havnt fallen off the planet if anyone has been wondering. although i am now officially on the other side of the world. yes my friends... i finally made it to canada. after 7 long months of waiting i finally got on a plane (4 actually) and went halfway round the world to be with my girl. the flight was LONG and tiring. 4 flights, all up 22 hours on a plane, and probably about 10 hours of waiting in different countries. all on one day. i left australia on the 4th of july, and i arrived in winnipeg on the 4th of july. so i gained pretty much a whole day. i didnt cry at the airport when i left, i held it in, i cried a bit when i had to walk away from my family. but i was alright, i was in a bit of shock i think. it was just a little hard to comprehend, i guess it still is, that i wont see my family for a year. but you know, when i got off that plane (after going through customs) i walked out the doors and saw my girl, and everything, the long flight, the loneliness, being utter exhaustion... it was all worth it, it just disapeared. i finally got to wrap my arms around my beautiful girl and it was like time had stopped for us. we stood there for at least half an hour, holding each other, we didnt want to let go. and then i kissed her. and it just took my breath away, feeling her lips on mine, her arms around my waist. the amount of times i dreamt about that moment.. was nothing compared to being there. i've now been here a bit over a week. and i love it here. i fit in with her family so well, they all love me. i'm already calling her mom "mom" and her grandma "grandma" because thats how comfortable i am here and with everyone. jay was scared that i wouldnt feel at home. but she IS my home, so wherever she is, i'll feel at home.
we've just done so much the last week. and the stuff to sleep ratio has been pretty messed up. but thats also to do with the wacky time stuff. coz the sun goes down at around 10 pm here. and im used to it going down at 5:30 pm so even when its late here i dont feel like it is. and its not jet lag, its purely trying to adjust to this weird sun thing. every night me and jay end up going to sleep around 3-6 am and we wake up around 1 pm. so its really crazy. soon we are going to have to start getting back into a normal sort of routine, especially when school starts back up. we went to the winnipeg folk festival, jays band played in the young performers program, i was so excited to finally hear her play live, not on a recording, and it was awesome. i just love seeing how much she loves music. i took some good pictures but photobucket is being a poo so i will have to put them up later. but we went again on sunday night to watch bruce cockburn (who by the way rocks) and we took some nice pictures of us together. woooo first together pictures.
anyways i have stuff to do now. i might write in here again later. just thought i'd let everyone know whats been going on *smiles*
miss everyone lots
