Yesterday, Monday, was a hard day for me, emotionally. I really needed to blog about it but after talking to D' I decided that just talking about it was by far the better option.
My Facebook status yesterday read " need's to blog but does not know where to start " so in response to this my American girl wrote on my wall...
regarding the blog - start here...
My fiancee is so beautiful and so loving and I am being a big 'ol dork because she is going to love me forever and ever no matter what. And whenever I need to say crazy things, I know she will listen. And whenever I need some lovin', I know she will be there to give it to me. And when I just need to take a deep breath because this world has sunk into my head and ran around like a monkey on crack, she will be there to gently remind me that it will all be ok, and that we won't be apart forever. And that she said YES, and that's all that matters, or something to that affect. I love you baby. Have a great day at work. And don't die please. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
FYI...the reference to me dying is because I am suffering from a pretty nasty cold which I have had for over a week now and has just developed a really shitty cough.
You see, I told you all she is wonderful...

1 week later...
It's been exactly one week since I last kissed, hugged, laughed, tickled, held, slept, joked, giggled and loved my fiancee face to face.
Has it been a difficult week? Well actually......YES!
Not only have I had to endure the pain and anguish of not being with her I have also had to deal with a horrible cold, which, D', for the longest time was convinced it was Swine Flu, and probably still is. The fact that I am not in a hospital right now probably has me on the " it's just a cold " list.
In all this last week has been pretty tiring, work has been a strain, mainly because I have not been well, but the days have been very long and the nights, alone, much longer. It really does take a long time getting used to not being in the same space as her.
So, as a typical guy, I cheered myself up by buying a new video game for the PS3....and some beer.
I have, however, got a nice weekend to look forward to. Today, Saturday, I took my daughter shopping and she bought a birthday gift for her friend and a new water bottle for school from Fat Face, I purchased a Polo Shirt from the same store. We ate Indian take out food, which was really good but my stomach is now really pissed with me. Tomorrow my best friend Marc is coming over for a BBQ and a few beers which will be great (photo's will follow i'm sure). He goes to Australia in July to live so every bit of time with him is precious. Although, he has made the foolish mistake of asking me to train him at the gym so I am not sure how precious he will consider our last few months together....love ya bro!
To end........here's a photo.

My last day in OKC...
Today was a good day. We went to D's grandparents for lunch and took BBQ. Food was great and she told them we were engaged and they were thrilled!! Which is great as they are a very important part of D's life so having their approval was SO important to her.
Came across a railway line in which we took advantage and captured a few photographs. Also, on the way back, we stumbled across a house with a field filled with old american classic cars, Mustangs 1967, Chevees and the like. They were all owned by a lovely man called Ken Stanfield who kindly let me photograph them.
This evening we went for dinner at a lovely Brazilian restaurant and the food was just awesome.
Sorry this post is short, I leave for England tomorrow so all time with my girl is precious.
See a few more pictures from today on my Flickr

Only two more days...
Oh dear god! I have only two more days until I am flying back to England. How happy do you think I am about that? Not very!
Spent the last few days chilling out, went to the OKC Festival of the Arts yesterday and briefly visited again today. It's pretty good, although I have to admit to having been expectant of a whole lot more in the way of stands and stuff.
D' took me to a place called Grateful Bean Cafe which serves Buffalo Burgers and just the best ice-cream milkshakes.....EVER!

We also went and sized me up for an engagement ring today. Saw some pretty cool ones. I guess I will have to wait another four months for mine though....hmph!
Few pics below from the last few days....see more on my flickr.
