So my girlfriend’s youngest daughter, Dana, is graduating from Primary school tonight. I’m pretty sad that I couldn’t go. Not enough tickets. Even tho I’ve only been physically in her life for 7 months, I’ve known her for nearly 3 years. She was 10 when Lyn and I met. She’ll be 13 in a couple more weeks.
At least she let me do her hair and make-up. She looked so adorable! I can’t wait to see the video that Lyn is taking of her.
CONGRATS DANA! You’re off to high school!
Dang! I’m slacking BAD!
Been to Fiji and back. Gorgeous islands, beautiful waters. We didn’t want to leave! I definitely would like to go back and stay longer than we did. Photos of Fiji are on my Photography site (deviantArt).
We’ve now booked flights for Auckland. This time we’re staying for 2 weeks. None of this 4 and 5 day crap. This is our last flight out of the country so we’re going to make the best of it. Then we can lodge our Visa application so I can live here permanently.
I got stopped in customs in Brisbane because there’s a pattern with me coming and going every 3 months. I’m tellin ya, I was scared shitless that I’d be deported back to the states! Why? Cuz I watched too many Border Patrol tv shows! LOL. Nah, it was all good. She asked me a few questions and I said, no I’m not working and no I don’t plan on living here. I don’t think she believed me because she gave me a number to call to get my tourist visa extended… LOL! Anyway, she let me go and just made a note that I’d be leaving and coming back again in December/January. And so it goes…
So yep, we’re off to Auckland and got our sight seeing places mapped out. Can’t wait! The land of Xena: Warrior Princess! 
Things here have been good. Just depressing that I can’t work. I feel guilty and bad sometimes and I get sad. Lyn feels the same way too. We just gotta keep plugging along. We’re nearing the end now. Just a few more steps to go and we’ve made it! OH How I can’t wait to call myself an Aussie. OH how I can’t wait to start working! And OH how I can’t wait to L I V E with my girl in peace!
So that about wraps it up for now. Until I forget to write again…
OH…..
p.s. I’ve gotten much better with driving, but I STILL forget which side the turn signal is on!
