We booked our flights!!!!

He is leaving England early in the morning (6:30 am) on the 15th of November. He'll fly to Paris and be there for a few hours *jealous*. Then he will make the very long flight to Salt Lake City, Utah. He will arrive in the early afternoon.

I will be getting off work at about 1:30 pm. I'm going to go straight to the airport to meet him. Our flight doesn't leave for a few hours after that, but it will give us a chance to meet for the first time and get all the mushy emotional stuff done without rushing to our plane.

We will then fly to California, arriving in the early evening.

On the 23rd of November, we will fly back to Utah really early in the morning (yuck). Then we will drive to see my grandparents so they can meet him. Then come to my house so that he can meet my family. We'll hang out for the evening and play games or something probably. Then we'll go to a hotel for the night.

The next day, we're going to drive around the city so I can show him around a little. His flight home leaves around 5:00 pm. So I'll drive him to the airport, with enough time to check in, and watch half of my heart walk away to be 5000 miles apart again.

Red Roses

Today I received a surprise delivery. My step mom answered the door and brought it up to me. She knocked on my door and said I think you have an admirer. She knew who it was from, but still. Scott had called a flower company here and had 3 beautiful red roses sent to me in a vase along with a teddy bear and a balloon that says "I love you". He just did this "Just because" I've never even received such a gift from a boy in the United States! He is so amazing! Here's pictures.

Plane tickets

So as I stated in my last post, we can now afford our vacation in November. However, there was one last thing that could potentially stop us; my work telling me I couldn't go on Vacation. I spoke to my manager though, and he said we could figure something out and it wouldn't be a problem. Woohoo! So Scott has sent his passport papers and as soon as we find out he's approved, we're going to book our flights. We've found flights that will bring him through Salt Lake, so we're going to be flying to California together. I'm so excited! I just want to get the flights booked so that it will feel like it's really about to happen. After we do that, we'll book the hotel and start looking into what we'll be doing in California. It's less than three months now until we leave. :D

Busy

Life has gotten busy. I got promoted to supervisor at work, which is good, but definitely takes away from my time with Scott. We're adjusting the best that we can. We've found ways around international texting/calling rates, so at least we have that now for when we can't be at the computers. Along with my promotion is a pay increase, and that means great things for me and Scott. That means that we'll be able to afford our planned trip in November to California! I'm excited! He's getting his passport in the next couple weeks, and then we'll both book our flights! We both desperately need to meet. Our relationship is wonderful and thriving, but I think that in order for us to progress any further, we need to meet. We've been together for 8 months now without meeting, and it's been tough business.

So yeah. Life is busy, but it will pay off. :) Only 89 days until November 13th.

P.S. I'm not sure if I ever posted this, but Scott found a new job before the old garage went under. So he's working at a new garage. Yay for not being unemployed!

Not sick.

So, I haven't posted for a while. But I'm not sick anymore. And, Scott still has his job. For now. He went to quit and everyone there kinda talked him out of it, telling him that they couldn't let him do that and that he's like family. He's been working there for 7 years, so they've all known him since he was a teenager. But the job think is kinda sorta maybe temporary. He just doesn't know. The whole thing is on egg shells. So, the plans for November are still up in the air. Which kinda sucks. And I'm also having some issues saving money. I always have. And just as I was getting somewhere with my savings, my computer starts freaking out. So I'm going to get a new one. Which is pretty much going to wipe out the savings I have. Which sucks. But, we're both determined to see each other this year. I have faith that something will work out. So yeah. That's kinda life right now. Well, no. Not really. There's lots of other layers of stress and such. But I'm not going to get into it. :D

Sick.

I'm sick. Right now it's just some head cold, but when I get sick my body has a funny way of making it into something else by the end of it. So we'll see. As of right now, I can't stop sneezing, my head is congested, and my throat hurts. I really wish I could stop sneezing because when I do it's like raking knifes down my throat. I really wish that Scott could be here to hold me and take care of me. I could use the company and the comfort. I think he's having a hard time being away from me when I'm like this too. Especially when we go on webcam and he can see how sick I am. Hopefully this will pass soon.

Now what?

Scott quit his job. The garage he used to work for was closing. He could have moved to a different garage with a different boss, but he couldn't work with the new boss. So he quit. Life was already stressful, but I had our trip in November to look forward to. Now what? Even if he gets another job soon, they probably won't let him have that much vacation time that soon and he won't have enough time to save enough money anyway. He's telling me that I shouldn't write it off yet and that we still might make it. But I don't see how. I'm overwhelmed with a feeling of hopelessness.
