we're back in do-hell

· · 🌡️ 19°F

Back in Do-hell. This trip was hard to come back from. I think it was the freedom to hold Rory's hand in public, share a kiss if we felt like it, have a beer with dinner if we wanted to, and the blissful driving. I know some of you complain about it, but living here would drastically change your view. Also, finding shoes in MY size was nice.

I have a new nephew, Fox. My brother has already begun telling him that he must learn quickly if he's going to best his Auntie Mika in video games. Cute.

I got to meet some of Rory's closest friends and of course his family, except his dad. No one could say my name right twice :) It was a real whirlwind but we'll be back in February for much longer. Then I'll have a go at driving on the other side of the road. Once I do that I think I will have conquered global driving.

Rory asked my dad for his blessing/permission to marry me, while not necessary, was very sweet. Of course he said yes, although he seemed to be shocked and said something about how he never thought I'd get married because of all my traveling and that I'd never 'settle down'. Thanks dad ;)

I have to get back to work, loads to catch up on. Stay safe peeps, miss you already!

    Congrats on well, lesse, the nephew, the blessing, the safe travel back, the brief moment of natural driving. I'm sure there is more. February, huh? Coming Stateside for my birthday? pretty big gesture :)

    So I am not sure where I missed it that you were getting married but I wanted to say how happy I am for both of you. I saw it in that journal about 2009 that it was your goal to marry the man of your life but I wasn't sure if it was a mutually agreed upon thing yet.

    Congratulations! Not many old school blokes out there so Rory is special. :)

    Aw, you guys are an amazing couple. You two really give me hope for love (and I'm normally pretty skeptical about love)..

    What your dad said sounds funny (to me), and I can understand why someone might think that. It sounds like he and your parents get along so that is good, I wish you luck with the Marriage thing. So you two will be back in Feb. I assume in mean in a month and not a year and a month, in any case I look forward to seeing you two again. On a side note I really don't like Feb. for my own reasons but I hope it is a great month for you two. On another side note I like the name Fox but I myself knowing that there is a company (fox racing they make gloves and bike stuff and alt sports stuff) with that name not to mention the Media company I don't think I would have the guts to name by kid that, but I still like the name it is a pretty cool name.

    Was great to see you again... and meet Rory.

    Glad you have fun in Blighty and made it "home" safe.

    Tell Rory he needs to join up... before or after the wedding will be fine. But after, he has to, since he will be an e:peep by marriage.

    Very old school cool Rory asked your dad for your hand in marrige. He's a keeper all right!

    yeah I agree, asking dad is adorable (and a must if you ask me...)
    He passes!!
    Way to go. :)

    hope we can catch up better next time you're here; sorry I pretty much missed you guys this time.
