The Best Day . . . Always

 I found this quote on Instagram today and I feel like it captures how I feel about us and this relationship so well. 

"Marry your best friend.
 Really, truly find the strongest, happiest friendship in the person you fall in love with. 
Someone who speaks highly of you. 
Someone you can laugh with. The kind of laughs that make your belly ache and your nose snort. The embarrassing, earnest, healing kind of laughs.
Life is too short not to love someone who lets you be a fool with them. 
Make sure they are someone who lets you cry too. 
Despair will come; find someone you want to be there with you through those times.
Most of all, marry the person who makes passion, love, and madness combine and course through you."

 

I feel like each day I find a deeper love for you, one small thing just makes me fall more and more into it. I thought love was scary and came with anxiety and fear of rejection. If this is love then I've never truly felt it before. You are my best friend, I loved going on tiny small adventures and having big life talks. I loved living in the present and dreaming about our future. 

I am so excited

I know we talk about "down the road" things a lot but I don't want to pass over the little steps either as just ... steps. I can't wait to celebrate the big things and the small things with you in the next coming days, weeks, months ... years.

Having you here this week was the best. I can't recall a time in my life when I've felt such consistent happiness, I can remember events, moments, flickers - but nothing like this. 

I am annoyingly in love with you, you are all I want to talk about, every tweet, Facebook status, Instagram post ... I want to make about you, I want to call all my friends and just talk about you. I hold it in and then blurt it out in these tiny blog posts. 


If you're reading this and you aren't Andrew....


Sorry? 


But also, you're welcome - we are adorable. 


I'm not going to text you about this one, I want you to find it. Like a real surprise (I'm bad at them too)

The good, the bad, the deported.

Well there has been an interesting turn of events in my life lately. When I moved here there were some complications with my Visa that I found out about around week 2, so I always knew that this might happen - but I also know that the Indonesian government changes laws every other day so the chances that I would get my full visa and be able to stay here for a year where equally as possible. Basically right now I am on a training visa which is a 30 day visa that can only be extended a maximum of 6 times. Mine has now been extended 4 times. In order to get my full visa I need to apply for my kitosk which is basically my Indonesian citizenship, unfortunately the government recently put up strict restrictions about foreigners who can get this kitosk, the government doesn't believe that I am qualified enough and has kept rejecting my visa application. Recently some English teachers from another prominent English school in Surabaya got caught with drugs, which is a HUGE HUGE deal here in...

BALI BALI BALI . . . and stuff

My goal when I moved here was to try and update my blog at least once a week . . . I suck, I know. Things have been, well, interesting as of late. I am not going to go into too much detail but basically a vicious rumour was started by someone Kelsea and I had called a friend. Long story short she knew she was wrong and is no longer in Indonesia. Well the week that this all came out was a tad stressful so Kelsea, Tico and I decided last minute to go to Bali, this was decided on Thursday night and we left on Friday. Friday morning I went to book the tickets and forgot to book a return flight home (I am stupid I know). Thankfully our boss found us tickets to get us home, but we had to pay double for the tickets. Anyways our flight was scheduled to leave 8pm on Friday night, I was finished work at 6:45 and the airport is 20- 3o minutes away from the school. I told Kelsea and Tico to be at the school for 6:45, of course they were late and we didn't end up leaving the school until 7:20...

Single White Female - Resolutions and Revelations

Why when people hear that you are single they act like you just told them you have been diagnosed with a fatal disease? "Oh, well thats ok" "I'm sure someone will come along soon" "There's someone for everyone" "There are plenty of fish in the sea" "I heard the online dating thing is working for a lot of people" Heads up - I AM OK WITH BEING SINGLE! I'm not just saying that, I'm not looking for any one to say, "you know when you stop looking that's when it happens." I'm not looking for any of that. Not only am I ok with being single, I am at PEACE with it. Quite a change of tune from the last post I wrote, I know. This is after about a month of serious prayer and self reflection - a process that at times was not easy, after a lot of scripture reading and moments of silence to just listen I had a conversation with God where I told/asked Him that if I am meant to be single that I want to feel fu...
