So, kungfupolarbear is at the airport and probably just boarding now. We had some unexpected awesomeness at the check-in line… despite that ridiculously rude woman saying we’d have to pay AU$311 on Saturday for the flight change, the lady at the check-in line said it’d been paid already?! So we got an extra four days for nothing! 😀 She was really nice, too.

I’m definitely feeling a bit down, but nowhere near as much as when she left here last time, or when I left Boston in August. I’d say it’s because I know that she’s going to be back here permanently, and hopefully within just a few months.

I’m still squeeing over the fact that we’re engaged!! I’ve found the love of my life and we’re getting married! 😀

I’m currently at mum and dad’s, as my car is in at the mechanic just up the road to get looked at for an odd rattling/squeaking noise it keeps making. Once I’m home I’ll get onto organising and uploading the photos we took to Flickr.

(P.S. SQUEE!)

We are engaged!!!

Squee!!!

I was going to wait until we went to the Blue Mountains, or at least something all romantic, but we were lying in bed yesterday afternoon and just snuggling, and I was thinking “Good god I’m going to burst if I don’t ask her!”. And being all curled up and snuggly just sums us up perfectly anyway. 🙂 And she totally knew I wouldn’t be able hold off asking her for very long, hehehe.

We went engagement ring shopping today and picked out an absolutely gorgeous one. No pics yet, as it’s going to get resized and we’ll pick it up next Monday.

I seriously have never ever been this happy before. SQUEE! 😀 😀

You know when you were a little kid and it was Christmas Eve, and you’d be all excited and just wanting the day to hurry up and finish so it could be Christmas? I’m feeling like that at the moment, as my beautiful kungfupolarbear arrives at the airport at 8am tomorrow!

Squee!!

And now to bed, and hoping I’m not too excited to fall asleep!

I miss my kungfupolarbear. Someone needs to invent teleporters so she can be here already.

Everything is completely perfect… well, minus the fact that we’re about ten thousand miles apart, anyway. We’re totally and utterly comfortable with each other. We can just lie on the couch in complete silence, and it’s absolutely perfect.

I’d never have dreamt in a million years that I’d have found someone as awesome as her, and fallen so deeply in love with her. If you’d told me that a couple of years ago, I’d have laughed and called you crazy. Someone I’d never met and only knew through LiveJournal and E2? Ha! But it happened. And it’s awesome.

A friend of mine, Millsy, is a bit bummed about his total lack of success with the opposite sex. I was never quite as bummed as he is, but I always thought the whole “Once you stop looking you’ll find someone” spiel was bullshit. But that’s exactly what happened with me… I was completely resigned to the fact that I was going to be a single father for the rest of my life. And then wham, I’m madly in love with the most awesome girl in the entire world. I related this to Millsy, he still thinks it’s bullshit, and I can’t say I blame him, I’d have thought the same thing in his position. But it totally isn’t bullshit, IMO.

Squee. I love you, Kristina.

(Wow, I just completely destroyed all of my metal cred with this post).

I swear the process for getting a visa to get kungfupolarbear moved over here is ridiculous. I’m looking through all the forms and information on the website, and there’s no one single “THIS IS THE SHIT YOU NEED AND WE’VE ACTUALLY INCLUDED IT ALL IN ONE PLACE” page. It’s all scattered over about three PDFs and a whole shitload of pages on the Immigration site.

It wouldn’t surprise me if it was deliberately done like that, but jesus christ. I’ve had to make my own checklist of stuff and am currently actually using my three monitor setup to its fullest extent… PDFs and webpages open all over the place!

Also, kungfupolarbear wasn’t kidding about the band Unheilig… they’re fucking awesome!
