New Year's Day...

New year’s day & we’re sitting here, with the School House Rock DVD playing on shuffle in the background, feeling quite sad, but putting a brave face on it.

Sunny is packing, packing for her return to Seattle tomorrow, and it’s horrible. I don’t want her to go, she doesn’t want to go… But go she must.

Months ago we did think that maybe my visas & stamps may be sufficiently progressed by this time to allow us to now be preparing to make the homeward journey together... Funny to think back to us worrying that maybe we wouldn’t be able to get a seat on the same flight over… Hmmm… I really hope that we don’t have to spend too much time apart.

The next few months are going to be hard… But the knowledge that it should only be a matter of time before we never have to be parted again will speed it by…

(Plus, she’ll be back at the end of next month, if only for a couple of weeks & only if I’m still to wait for a date…)

In the meantime here’s a nice picture of us from 1994, when we first met in Ironbridge..

My wife is wonderful...

(for those of you who have never been exposed to School House Rock, I’ll describe it at a later date. If you have a special American in your life, ask them about it.... Or of course you could pick up a copy from here or here)
