Many moons ago, i had a blog. And it wasn't bad. A little random, but i enjoyed posting on it, and i hope people enjoyed reading it. It was an outlet for a single lad to write about things he felt he had to get out, and it lasted for 2 years.
However, i stopped writing it after I met a wonderful lady in the summer of last year. A lady who was from another continent, and who the first time we met, i probably uttered a handful of words to (and they were about Police Academy, i seem to recall). She smiled at my ramblings, but secretly i knew she didn't understand a word i'd said.
She was in my home city of Edinburgh for a holiday with her mother, and was a work colleague of an old friend from high school who is now based in her country. I didn't think my life would be changed in that meeting, but it was.
In 4 days time i finish up in the job i have worked for 6 years. In two weeks time, i will be leaving somewhere were i have lived for all my life, and where my family and friends all live within about 30 mins of my flat to head across the ocean to Canada. In three weeks time, i will be standing beside this lady as we exchange marriage vows, and then spending the rest of my life with her.
Needless to say, i can't wait. I love this girl, or Jen, as we shall call her (for that is her name) with all my heart. Having a long distance relationship is a painful thing to do when you're so far apart, so to be finally being in the same timezone as each other is enough to put a smile on the face.
This blog, or so i hope, is to be a record of one of the biggest journeys i've ever taken in my life. Whether it will suffer the same fate as my last blog is up for debate, but i aim to keep it up.
Jen, this is for you. I would go anywhere in the world to be with you.
And so it begins...
