I figured since I have something momentous and happy to write about, I'd finally start a blog over here. So, here it goes.

I'm getting married! EEEEEEEEE!!!!!

*ahem*

Not only that, but I'm moving to Ontario, likely at the end of next summer. I have school to finish, and some other stuff I need to do as far as finding a job and saving money, so I really need to get my backside in gear with things and make this happen.

What we're considering right now is her coming down to visit in the spring, so we can have the civil ceremony then. It'll cost less down here, for one thing, which is why it appeals so much. It'll be around that time that I'll hopefully just be finding a job, so then I'll have the ability to grab up the funds for application fees. I'm going for permanent residence status, as far as how it's looking right now.

Which means I have a ton of stuff I need to read through, and figure out. I've probably also got a ton of calls to make to ask questions, and...gaaaaaah. It's going to make me crazy, but it'll be so worth it.

The really funny thing? She asked me four times about three years ago if I'd marry her. I kept saying no, because we weren't in a good spot to even remotely consider the idea. I still have the ring she bought me with the intended purpose of proposing, and I never take it off unless I'm having x-rays done or something along those lines. It's a nice Celtic knotwork band that we got at a mall kiosk. We wound up laughing about this over the phone the other night, since that's one less thing we really have to worry about.

But. Yeah. I'm getting MARRIED, to an absolutely amazing woman that I've known and been with for five years, give or take. I keep alternating between feeling a bit shocked, and being so giddy that all I want to do is skip around the house like I'm six.
