This Christmas

There's nothing I love more than possibility. And when I first met Alex I knew he was full it. Full of life, adventure, he's smart, attractive, puts my needs before his, not to mention British. As if I need say more.

A year ago I was in a dieing relationship where my partner didn't want anything to do with commitment or traveling or anything to move us forward, and now I have everything I could want. Now I sit in my bedroom waiting for the right time to leave to the airport to pick up Alex to spend the week together. Then I will be leaving with him to England. I can't believe how far my life has taken me in a matter of a year. I'm also finished with school and thinking of continuing my schooling in England to get a career in both Criminal Justice and Zoology. Alex looked into moving to Australia and found out that its much more easier to move there than anywhere else. They gladly accept young adventurous people without need of marriage or promising career. My dreams of helping animals in the same way that Steve Irwin did can very much become a reality.

I help the local animal shelter write grant applications as we're trying to get it to become a no-kill shelter. We're well on our way. I will help them in any way I can, I don't care how much time it takes up. I volunteer, donate, and spread the word the best I can. After all, if I've learned anything this year it's that the world is smaller than it seems.
