Hello blog... so we meet again....
I'm up in the great white north of Canadia... er... Canada. I've been up here for about 2 months. And it's been well awesome, be it slow (a double edged sword in this case) but awesome nevertheless.
I am hoofing it wherever I go, so being parked in Brantford, Ontario isn't exactly the center of activity in this beautiful country. But regardless, I'm able to spend time with my best friend. And she's worth any and all downtime that there may be, even if it's more than I'm used to. I will be heading back in about 2 months so this is pretty much the halfway point.
So what have I been up to?
Well, I've gone on my first cross country bus ride and gone through customs for the first time. And then saw Niagara Falls, the greatest wonder in this corner of the continent. And that was the first week. :) I realized that Ashleigh's sister terrifies me behind the wheel, and that I have a lot of growing up to do. And that a/c is a beautiful thing.
Ashleigh and I are getting married, if I can ever get a chance to propose to her. It's hard when I don't have money, or a car and a way to plan something really incredible. But there is always time for things like that :). At least another month or so.
We have met with immigration services and the only possible way to get me here sans going to school and getting a specialty in something is going to be marriage. And in one respect that sucks. Because we will be unable to see each other like we want and to be able to cultivate a life together and all the things that people dream of if we don't get married and in one respect it sucks because we don't get the option to really prepare a proper wedding because we will not be able to conjure resources and take the time to really do this the way we want but then on the other hand we get to get married and stop a little bit of the worry we have about what we are doing and we get to start the process of immigration. So hopefully we will fly through this process (God willing) and we will see what lies ahead :). Until we meet again.
