It has been quite a while since my last post; several months in fact. I've been pretty busy with things lately, as you might have guessed... But I suppose I should start updating this more often, so here goes.
In March this year I took a flight to Australia again (hooray!) and have been living here in NSW since, with my fiancée. We have our own place (finally) and our prospective marriage visa application should be ready to send in by the end of this week, so that's exciting! We've got to head into Sydney to pay the $2,525 fee that it costs, and then afterwards we've got to bring our receipt back to our awesome agent E., and then he can send it in via courier.
After that, I plan on finding work here. But if I'm going to do that successfully, I've got to learn to drive on the left side of the road. And, we've got to get a car. And, pay our agent's fees ($2,200). Anddddd somehow manage to come across an affordable washing machine. Maybe a pantry. Or a bookshelf.
Our wedding date is set for the 22nd of October. We've been having a little bit of trouble trying to figure out what we want, ceremony wise. I've been looking at lots of different ideas online, and a nighttime ceremony would be awesome. The full moon is the next day, so maybe it can happen.
I've been spending a bit of time trying to find myself again, spiritually. It's been kind of stressful lately, with lots of money going this way and that, frustrations about so-and-so and this thing here... I've been trying to set aside some time every few days to just sit and have some quiet time with the Lord and Lady.
The other night, I was particularly upset, but found that when I set up three tealites, some eucalyptus incense for healing, and just sat and talked out loud, I felt a lot better. I cried a bit, which felt good to get it out. I felt so much better afterwards.
On another note... I do miss my friends from Washington. I wish they would contact me more often, so that I don't feel so... I don't know. Abandoned? I think that's the right word. I feel like I always have to be the one to initiate talking to people. It saddens me, because I truly enjoyed these people's company, but I guess I shouldn't worry too much... Sometimes I forget that people have their own lives to attend to, and I shouldn't be upset that they are busy.
In other news, I've been missing WoW a bit lately. I haven't had the best internet access in the last few weeks, since we've moved and it's been taking Telstra freakin' AGES to get their act together. I miss the people, for the most part. I do not, however, miss raiding.
Speaking of video games, I just finished Dragon Age Origins. I have to say, that was probably the most fun game I have played in a long time. You forget how intense video games can be sometimes when you've been playing only WoW for a while. Yeah, yeah, call me nerdy. I don't care! I loved it, and I enjoy taking pride in the fact that I kept my character and Alasteir's relationship ALIVE until the very end, baby! Yeah!
Anyway, I suppose this is enough of an update until next time. :)
Until we meet again,
