I live in Houston. I have a boyfriend in Australia. I am close with my family. I like jogging in my spare time. I'm a bartender. My job makes me tired sometimes. My boyfriend works with me. My family loves my boyfriend. My dad works on cars with my boyfriend in their spare time.
My hobby is living off the land. My parents taught me live off the land. I love my family. I have a brother. I have a garden. I grew a lot of turnips this year. Sometimes I sell vegetables with my brother, but we keep most of what we grow. I work as a landscaper. My brother brother who works on cars. Working on cars is not really my thing. I have a wife named Stacy.
Guess what??? My boyfriend proposed to me! We're getting married! I am beyond happy for you! When will it be?!  Can Stacy and I attend? Oh my God, we have so much to figure out. I don't know if it's going to be here or down under -- that's the biggest question. Of course you guys will be invited, don't be silly! I don't know which sounds better -- a Texas wedding or an Aussie wedding! Both are down under to me! Australia, with that family will have to travel further but it will be more extravagant. They say everything is bigger in Texas though! So I can see the dilemma. I can't wait to tell Stacy! Yes, give Stacy my love! Australia would be a lot of work, but it would be amazing, too. It's not something I ever considered before I met my boyfriend -- now it's a big thing to think about. You can really live off the land there -- if you can survive all the creatures! I'll send your regards! I think it's one of those things you only dream about until it's reality.... but here it is! Potential reality! Where does he want it to be? I can survive Australia as long as I can do my farming! Maybe I'll domesticate those creatures. Ha ha, if anyone could tame them, you could! My boyfriend is being very accommodating -- all I can get out of him is, "Whatever you want to do." I have to give it a little time to see what he REALLY thinks -- right now, we're in the "honeymoon" phase of the engagement, lol. My head is just spinning! Maybe I will just for the challenge! If you folks haven't decided on a time yet, at least you have all the time in the world to decide where it will be! You might wind up picking a third party spot by the time all is done. Maybe that will be the solution -- like a halfway point. Not even joking, that's not a bad idea. It wouldn't have occurred to me, but I like it as an option. Thank you, my friend! I like the way you think! You can't keep those blinders on for something once in a lifetime like this! Stacy and I wed here at home and for us it was the most perfect thing. I wouldn't change a thing! That's another option as well! Back yard might not be glitzy but it's so much more personal! I'm getting just as excited as you thinking of all the options! Always glad to help! Well, if we go with the backyard option, we're back to "here or there?" But I think that will be impossible to avoid unless we commit to the halfway point concept. I just have to be real with him and get him to be real with me. But I don't know how I feel yet. You and Stacy seem so in tune -- I hope he and I are the same way ultimately. Part of living in the same area, I suppose- we are in tune as you said. You and Jeff are from worlds apart, sometimes those differences show. Sometimes they turn out to be the best part of your person too! A good halfway point could be in Europe if either of you have ties there!
