A pic of our shining faces, becauseeee.... The first stage of our partner visa was approved! Hooray. Now we have a few months to just chill before we apply for the second stage. :)

Wow. It’s been two fucking years since I moved to Adelaide, and one year since we applied for the partner visa. It’s weird to think that what seems utterly normal now was once this massive pipe dream.

I haven’t really posted much in a while, because I’ve been doing a lot of recovery stuff for my mental and physical health. So here’s a photo drop from the past six months.

During that time, Jasper and I have moved, gotten engaged, made a lot of individual progress with our Stuff™, and finally(!) reached the point financially that we could open a joint savings account and make a deposit.

I’ve started writing fiction again, and I’ve decided that when I have permanent residency I want to do a masters degree in social work. Jasper is about to finish their bachelor of arts and wants to spend some time getting a proper diagnosis of their health issues before they do further study.

There have been plenty of challenges in these two years, but I’m so proud of the life we’re building, and the people we are and are becoming. I don’t always remember how much I love the life that I have, but today I’m trying to.

We’re applying for a house near the beach. Wish us luck!! 🌴🌵☀🌊

(Also this is not how they kiss, they are pretending to eat my face)

We’ve been sorting through old emails, messages, etc. in preparation for our visa application. Look at this cute thing Jax made me a few years ago. :’)
