...thats the only way i could describe my time with jimmy...pure and utter - god created magic! From the moment we met after an anxiety ridden day of lost communication, and sleepless travel, we just fell into each others arms. Super excited for what the next weeks would hold for our relationship.
Meeting one another was a strange, wonderful, anxious moment for us both. Me as a girl, whom had been travelling for over 20hrs, was jet lagged, looking less than fresh and restful, and trying to be cool calm and collected.
Jimmy as an organised individual was giving himself a tension miagraine worrying about wether i had actually made it into the country (my phone hadn't worked since i left australia).
It was about a 1.5 hr drive from cinncinnatti to grove city. So this gave us plenty of time to either feel incredibly awkward, or bond as my man would say like, "peas and carrots." I think it was more like tomato sauce and pies. We knew after a few hours together this was even more than we could have dreamed it would be.
I wont go into all the "mushy details" but our first kiss was ah-mazing, and well we just knew that we were created for one another - mentally, spiritually AND physically.
Over this first week we went on lots of dates; the zoo, the football (which was awesome), the comedy club, dinner theatre, loads of meals out, and plenty of time snuggling on the sofa doing nothing but holding one another and "breathing one another in".
Hours seemed to go in minutes. It was less than one week of being together that we both knew with pressing urgency that we were to be married.
It was the morning of sep1st, that we made that decision and wed at a small chapel in columbus. It was the most wonderful moment of both our lifes. I was wearing a $10 sundress i had brought before i left australia from an op-shop i fell in love with, and jimmy wore his grandfathers shoes. It was so surreal, even now we look back and laugh at how irrational that whole time was from the sense of where our lives usually sit. Irrational, but perfect. We are so in love with one another, and very much looking forward to growing old playing yahtzee on the porch of our home somewhere beautiful -being able to look back on the colourful memories that filled our journey together.
One week of marital bliss, then i was heart wrenchingly ripped from the arms of my love...without knowing when we would be beside each other again. I left for australia feeling like a war bride, my heart so filled with love, yet so burdened with longing.
It was about 2 weeks after i returned (and we fell back instantly into our skype and email routine, but it wasn't the same) that we had the first lot of our paperwork ready for my and my childrens Visa (entry to US) application.
It was nice to feel like something was happening. Those first two weeks being back felt like months. We both got alittle teary when we realised how little time had actually passed. But now we are focusing on what needs to be done and learning to find new and creative ways to maintain our joy from an ocean apart.
And really, while its not the preferred way to enter into a marriage i cant think of a better foundation. We have no choice but to learn how to give each other everything we need from an emotional, and spiritual place. Imagine expressing a hug with words instead of actions...you have to learn alot about someone to be able to do this with any measure of success.
I love you jimmy you make my world brighter, my heart beat faster, and my smile lines deeper.
