The day Alison and I have dreamed and planned for so long is now nearly here, and today marks one of the happiest days of my life. Alison booked her flight today to come to the US permanently! (Pause here for celebration and cheering! YEA!! ) Its really hard to believe its finally come. Though we never have doubted for a minute it would happen, this distance separating us has caused more than it’s fair share of aches. But soon they will all be forgotten in a single kiss when we are at last together forever.

As I have often done for many other events, a countdown script for this very special event has been added to the site, you may already have seen it there in the top of the sidebar. Well actually its in three parts which should be self explanatory, but seeing as I often don’t make things clear I should probably elaborate. The first one is a countdown until the day she leaves to go to the UK to visit family and friends for a couple of weeks before beginning her new life as an Americano! :) She leaves Cyprus on the 22nd of November. The next countdown is to the time her plane leaves London to come to the US, and of course it wouldn’t be complete without the last one; the most important one of them all to me, the time her plane lands at Norfolk where I will be waiting like I have won the lottery! :) She lands in Norfolk on December 9th at 9:28 pm. I wont be late, even if the plane is! ;) I still have some counters up on various other pages and sites of mine from past events that were very special to us, our trips to see each other and I also set a countup scriot on another site that counts the days since she and I met, as I write this now it was 939 days ago that this beautiful Brit sent me a smile and a short note asking “Would you like to write sometimes?” since we both were widows and at a point very similar in our lives. Well that’s a story already told so I will let that be and just say from almost that very day, we both knew things were going to be very different for us! ;)  Well anyway here we are 939 days later waiting only for another 39 more to pass. I can’t begin to tell you how long these days are going to seem now. I cant even begin to describe how happy I am either, Its beyond words, it truly is. I feel the hand of God in all our story and a love destined from the beginning of time.

I’ll just continue to update this post with any related news instead of making new ones. and I have to apolgize for not doing much to update the sites lately too, along with us being busy getting things sorted for our reunion, there has been a lot going on with my mom as well. Another long story that, and maybe I will get around soon to expounding on all that happened, but for now she is scheduled the middle part of November to have a rather in depth surgery to reconnect her stomach to whats left of her esophagus up in her throat. No none of this was brought on by sickness but by a simple procedure done at a local hospital in August that ended up tearing her esophagus and having to be transported out to a larger hospital. She’s coming along and doing ok, well the best she can under the citrcumstances if you consider being on a feeding tube 14 hours a day, every day since the 23rd of August! Well as I say thats another story…

Yes I know this is Independence Day but there is one Brit I wont ever lose my dependence upon, my beautiful bride, Alison Michelle! Happy 4th of July baby! :)

I can’t help but think that if the US had lost the Revolutionary War Alison and I would both be Brits and we wouldn’t be going mad waiting on this immigration and paperwork to get sorted! We’d likely already be together. well no doubt of that.

Well at least one or two things good came out of the US gaining independence, we dont have roundabouts or spotted dick! well not any that i know of anyway, I wouldn’t be surprised to hear of a few cases ;)

And for those inclined to comment about the Union Jack on display, just know its not the first time I have posted it on the 4th, last years post was having a very special one included :)

Happy 4th of July everyone!

Day 6 found us on the way to Paphos for a mini 3 day holiday given to us by Alison’s parents, Jack and Maureen, as an engagement present. It was so nice of them to do this and it is a memory we will have all our lives. We set out Monday morning and did a little sightseeing along the way as we had to wait to check in to the hotel anyway. I have always loved antiquities and ruins, so I couldn’t pass up a chance to visit the Sanctuary of Apollo located very near to Curium (Kourion) (more…)

From my Cyprus trip in October 2007, Oct, 14, 2007 recap finally done , 6 months later! ;)

Sunday Morning, the 5th day of our holiday we had been invited to go to a tavern in one of the mountain villages that Alison and her friends frequent, Taki’s tavern, for lunch. With no rush to get ready in the morning, we had a coffee or two and a bit of breakfast out in the garden.

X X X X X I love you Alison <3

Well this post is going to be a bit different in a way from most on here…  Alison and I have spent the last two years faithfully writing each other each morning and night and in between too. Only the rare occasion when one of us has been on a plane to see the other have we ever missed a mail to each other! It just feels strange to not be writing one tonight so I came up with this brilliant idea to not only send my Angel a kiss,but also tell her what I am up to this evening (and in the process I have another post on my site! ;)  Well i could still send her an email but she may not get it until she is home as she’s in Protaras this weekend with JM and her longtime friend Anne, who is visiting her for a couple of weeks. They are staying at the Sunrise Beach Hotel. JM has his laptop and I can of course send a mail to his account, but I’m sure he’s not really so excited to be the middle man for mushy love mails! LOL Well i will mail the link to this post instead. I know they only may have just a few minutes online as the hotel there is charging for Internet access… unless JM can find an open WiFi connection that is! ;) Its a shame really considering the prices of hotel rooms, especially these bigger ones, that internet service is not provided in each room free to guests. I know here there are a lot of them now offering it as part of the amenities. As are a lot of coffee shops and the like. Considering now how so many other devices besides PC’s are suing the internet and are Wifi enabled, cell phones (mobiles), game consoles, mp3 players, PDA’s.. oh the list is increasing all the time, it really should be something that becomes quite common now.  Oh l’m rambling here too in the post, just as I do in the mails! See Alison, its not just you I ramble on with! lol

As special as this day of Love is my Beautiful Brit, no holiday will come close to the happiness we have found in each other on these dates. From the 5th of April in 2006 to this very day each has been a celebration of love beyond compare and I thank God and our angels for you my darling. Your name was written in my heart a long time before April 2006 my love, it was written the day I was born! We have always been together, destined from time beginning, always loved each other and we will always will. Happy Valentine’s Day my Beautiful Bride, I love you! XXXX

Well looking at the dates of the last posts one would think we had forgot about the site! Well we are still here and doing better than ever! :) We do seem to spend much more time now, since this last holiday together especially, trying every chance we can to get together for a chat, or to speak on Skype, and then there is still the mails we write each day. Oh the mails we have written!! It amazes me sometimes just to realize that every single day since April 5 of 2006 we have had at least one mail every day, and many times as much as a dozen a day! They say its hard work to maintain a long distance realtionship… well maybe… yes it is hard to be that far a apart, but never once have I thought of it as work! I hate work, ask my employer! lol But seriously it has been nothing but love and desire to be ever closer to my soulmate that I have opened every new mail with a smile on my face and in my heart just to tell her I love her. And its even harder now to spend one more day aprt now that we have shared our times together and seen face to face that we are meant for each other just as we knew. That was proably one of the hardest saddest days of my life to get back on that plane in Cyrpus to come back the US, and you know we have both seen some bad days. But still our love endures and it always will! Oh I’m getting a bit sugary here arent I?! lol well you should read our chats then if you think thats sugary! OH maybe not! ;) lol

WellI admit I am totally lost (and found) in love with this Beautiful Brit, and strange as it may sound to some, I alwasy have been. From the very first time we spoke I felt I had known her all my life and she will say the same. You all know our stories, and I will always believe it was a match made in heaven by God and our angels. Some things just dont happen, I dont care what anyone says. The things we have seen and felt.. incredible… I cant reason it, or begin to explain it, but know this, God has a plan for us all! Even if we don’t believe it ourselves. Take it for what it’s worth. :)

I have to laugh sometimes when I think back to the early days after we met and how some people seemed to act so surprised that we met online, and some were even shocked! Well in truth there were more positve response than any negative ones. But it surprised me when people would ask one of us , how do you know they are who they say they are? Ok I can understand it to a degree as there are so many stories you hear of weirdos and worse online, but think about it… Even in a face to face meeting, how can you be sure the other is who they say they are either? you can’t! And God knows all you have to do is turn on the TV and see the crazy folks in the world who are described by friends and family as alwasy seeming nice and being known by them all their life, and then turning out they go on a shooting spree or some other mad horrible thing. You can still get the sense and feel of a person just as much from writing them as you can from meeting them. Maybe even more so as you are focused on their words more and listen to each other.. and it doesnt take long to see who is truthful and who isnt, Well I dont know the point I am getting to, just some things I wanted to say. Well everyone who knows me has seen the happiness in me now and the love too. And they are ALL happy fo me, for us! Most of all I am happy for us! :) ecstatically happy!! And looking forward to a future I know is going to be even more incrdeible that anything I could ever imagine. :) Oh that picture above is from a photo of us here in May that I worked on and tried to create a painting from. It is one of my favourite pictures. I look at it and it just seems to exude love and passion and a love beyond measure in that embrace and kiss. My every waking moment is spent in that sort of dreamy feel of a happiness beyond compare too. Well we all have days that things dont go right, or something happens, but you know what? Nothing can take the smile from my heart that Alison Michelle has put there, it gets me through everything! Love is all you need.. every thing else is just… fluff! I love you baby xxxx I do!

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from your dancing elf hosts Alison & Chester
Love to all!
Enjoy
