its been almost 3 weeks and i'm still "so very happy".  i'm in a kinda daydreaming mode today so started thinking about the future. maybe by the same time next year i'll be married, and hopefully by then my wife and i will be together. perhaps i'll be on the west coast working at a new job, although it would be cool if i can get a job temporarily overseas with my baby until all of the visa stuff gets approved. i have no idea on how to go abouts getting a work permit in a foreign country but think it would be cool to live and work among natives of another country. i would also love to be able to afford 2 homes. one in the country of my wife's birth and one here in the states. our holidays would be split between asia and europe. i saw a show about christmas shopping in europe a few days ago and it brought back so many memories for me. how i miss being there sometimes.

 i now know that i have hope for the future and it's a very comforting feeling. yes being apart from a loved one is a little inconvenient, but i'll gladly accept temporary inconvenience for a chance of a lifetime worth of happiness.

 lots of love, hugs, and kisses for my baby and to everyone else have a wonderful day .
