Catching up!

Hi everyone! If there’s anyone that still checks out this anymore cause I’ve been gone forever, I know, I’m so bad. It’s been so long but somehow it seems like it hasn’t been long ago. I just had to go back and read some of my old posts cause I barely remember what I had written about!

So anyway, over a year after my last post, this is how things are going. My gf moved to Chile in September last year, it’s crazy I still don’t think I can believe it. It was amazing to see her again after sooooo long (2 years). When I picked her up at the airport I was so nervous that I wasn’t going to find her, I was really scared. She took forever to come out with her luggage and all, but I finally saw her. It was crazy, it was like I had seen her just a few days ago. We were both so ridiculously happy, and it was so unbelievable, that we were together again, it seemed unreal. Almost a year after that, we still look at each other every once in a while and say how we can´t believe that she´s here lol.

Things have been going pretty good. I moved into my own apartment with her, but my younger sister moved in with us too, because of some family problems. It’s not the ideal situation (specially cause it’s a small apartment and we are a little crowded with the cats and all), but we get along pretty well, so it hasn’t really been a problem. And my gf has been amazing and so understanding, and she gets along really well with my sister. L (my gf) got a job teaching english, and she has been doing pretty well. She has also been learning spanish, it hasn’t been easy cause we speak english to each other and she speaks english at her job too. But she’s so amazing, and she has been picking up all our Chilean slang lol.

We went on vacation for 3 weeks in February, to the north of Chile, we had a really good time, and it was cool cause she got to see different places of the country. She went back to visit her family in april, which was a little scary, cause I wasn’t sure how she was going to feel going back and all. But she said she missed me a lot (and I missed her like crazy), and she came back.

I still can’t believe that in September it’s going to be a year since she came here, time just flies by. There is so much to tell, I could write pages. But I just wanted to share a little of our story, in case it could give hope to any other couples that are in a long distance relationship. There’s still a lot of things we need to figure out, but we just take things one day at a time, and I have to say, I have never been happier in my whole life.

Her birthday is coming up in just 2 weeks, so I have some romantic planning to do! ;)

I´ll try not to disappear for so long this time!
