A new year and a new
post. This year has already been busy. Not on the music scene but on the
personal scene, as I am now happily married and part of a new growing family. Since
moving over here we have been continuing with our visa and employment paperwork
and are currently awaiting the final (ish) stage. It was also the most
expensive stage but after this is complete I can finally work and live in the
USA, for the next 2 years. Then we have to file for permanent citizenship, what
an effort but all worth it. It defiantly is worth it as we both looked into
each other’s eyes and said our vows; it confirmed our never ending love.
The weekend started on
Friday night setting up and rehearsing for the big day, we were given three
hours but it went far too fast. We managed to added finishing touches to the
already beautiful venue and felt ready for the magical event to begin. After a
family fish fry we headed in different directions with the aim of meeting up
down the aisle. I arrived at the venue early to make sure everything was about
to run smooth, after some technical issues with the music, we were ready to
walk. Standing at the top of alter with everyone we cared about around us, it
was one of the best feeling ever. The final bars of the song started as my beautiful
blushing bride took to the aisle, I had to turn away and bite my lip to hold
back the emotion that had come over me. Even when Kimberly was standing upon
the alter I found it hard to stay composed. The ceremony went well and the whirlwind
begun as the time flew by too fast. From photographs to food, dance to goodbyes
it was all over in a flash. We could not have planned and delivered a better
day as everyone left smiling and some even had free pizzas, 65 pizzas was too
many but you can’t go wrong with pizza.
The week of the
wedding and week after the wedding was also a memorable time as my mother took
her first flight ever! And it was over to the USA, what a crazy but dedicated
mother, she is amazing and anyone would be proud to have her.
January and February came
and went, along with the delivery of love and gifts from the families on both
sides of the Atlantic. Unfortunately we still need the house to put them in but
I am sure it is not far off as we stay positive together. Now the waiting game
continues as we see how long the government will keep up guessing of what’s
next. The strength to carry on comes from the love for each other and the
notion or dream of we can do anything together.
P.S. I now have an
Instagram to share more of my photos so check it out, yo!
