I've been meaning to update my LJ for quite a while now.
nn
I mean, it's been months. I've thought of it on more than one occasion, yet there always seems to be something more important to do.
nn
Soo… a re-cap.
nn
The immigration papers made their way to Seattle, and not suprisingly, I'm waiting with baited breath. It's all ahead of schedule, but even still I wish it would all hurry up and get done.
nn
Christina and I are doing very well, relationship-wise. We've had a few arguements, and occasionally hurt feelings, but we've managed to talk through it and work it out nearly every time, which pleases the hell out of me. She started a new job working nights, and unfotunately her schedule until Oct 28th allows for only wednesdays and thursdays off. That's making it a lot more difficult to spend time together, but thankfully my job is awesome, and they don't freak out if I take a day off here and there.
nn
So that means we're down to seeing each other every two weeks, which is far from ideal. I can't imagine this being a viable way to live forever, or even in the long term, but thankfully long before I lose my mind we'll have immigration done.
nn
We're getting closer to getting our debts paid off. Mine should be paid off sometime in december, and hers should be closer to flush by then too. Once that's done, it'll probably take about 2 or 3 months to get together the money required for the final move. We'll have the paperwork done before then from everything I can see.
nn
Items to budget for that I can see are:
nn
Moving into a new place here. This includes first month and damage deposit.
Moving truck expenses.
Forwarding mail and moving over internet, phone and power. (With a server migration, that'll be funi)
nn
Moving truck for her stuff.
Customs fees?

And of course, I'm sure there are a few things I'm not thinking about. Since it's still at least 5 months away, so I don't have all the details engraved yet.
nn
I wish it would all hurry the hell up though. It's getting harder to let go of her, time after time. I'm also bloody envious of all those couples who take being together for granted, when we have to struggle so hard. I'm still fighting the loneliness though, because it WILL NOT last forever.
nn
By this time next year it'll all be like some kind of dream, and it'll feel like we've never been apart.
nn
I'm holding on for that.
