My beautiful fiance.

     More than anything in my life, I wanted to meet someone and feel that absolute certainty, that I had met a partner in life and love.

   My previous relationships, as nice as they were, had a common thread running through them; a gentle undercurrent of disappointment that I tried to silence .At the same time, I was trying to glean relationship wisdom from wherever I could, but it seemed like all the wise people were divided cleanly into two camps.  There were the people who said things like "Once you meet the right person it would be the clearest thing in the world" and from the other end I had people who said "Relationships are about compromise and sacrifices. If you break up with a woman who wasn't perfect you will regret it for the rest of your life". 

   It was a sunny day in August, when I finished with my work that afternoon and I went to visit my cousin. My cousin told me that she was hanging out with her friends at her place and I realized that was a good idea to go there and hang out with them. When I first met Sandy it was the scariest moment of my life; because from the moment I met her I knew that she would change my life. 
  Before her in my relationships I wasn't  paying that much attention, because I knew those are not going to last. When our eyes crossed together I felt something in my stomach. I can't explain that feeling even now. I start talking to her because I wanted to find out more about her and her life; I  mostly wanted to know if she was in a relationship. Thankfully she wasn't. I asked her if she wanted to date with me and I got an answer - a big "YES" with a beautiful smile on her face. After hours of talking and talking I had to go; because it was already five o'clock in the morning. Before I say good bye I grabbed her and gave her one of the biggest and most passionate kisses that I could ever give to a woman. As soon as I got home I couldn't sleep; I was thinking of that all night. I fell in love with her at first sight.

On our first date

   Now we have been together almost five years. We have been through a lot, nice days and bad days. Our first obstacle in our relationship came when I had been called by the army for my duty. Then we weren't together not even a year but our love was stronger than the distance and she had the patient to wait for me. That means a lot. I cant imagine any other girl doing the same thing. After the army we were together again and happy because we had each other besides us. 
   Life had even harder plans for us and the army wasn't the hardest one. After the crisis in Greece I had no job or a degree to find one. My family moved to the United States and I had to follow them for a better future. That future I built in my mind with her. When I left Greece I left my whole soul and my mind over there because of her. It was the hardest moment of my life. We stayed apart for another year; again our love was stronger than the distance and she came and visited me. When she came it was Thanksgiving and I had a surprise for her. I gave her an engagement ring and told her that I wanted her to be my wife and live with me for the rest of her life. On her face she had again the same beautiful smile when we had first met and with tears in her eyes she said yes.  

Here is when I gave her the ring

   Now I am trying to finish with her paperwork to bring her here and stay with me and I am not going to leave her alone never again in my life. I love her so much and I want her to be the mother of my kids; because a woman like Sandy Iwill never find again.

New chapter in my life.

    Starting a new chapter in my life is not that simple. I left my country to come to the United States for a better future; I can see that the future is coming but not as soon and it is not as simple as it seems. To succeed here I need to educate myself, be patient and make the right moves to bring that bright future that I want in my life.

    My life now is in a routine; I have a job and I am going to college. I am working at a local diner which is located in Wilton, Connecticut as a waiter. I don’t like it that much because I didn’t mean to be a waiter but this job pays for my tuition fees and I am glad for that. Also I am a student at Housatonic Community College. I am taking two English classes to improve my English language. At this point of my life I am living with my mother, my step-father and my three brothers in Stratford, Connecticut. It’s hard for me still living with my parents because I am a grown up and I could have my own place but this is hard to archive because a small apartment cost a lot and I don’t have the money or the right job to be able to rent one.

     In the near future I see myself still in college for my bachelor degree in Web Development, which is something that I wanted to do from the day that I came to the United States and I realize that this is the right job for me. While I am at this point of my life I want to have a job based on my education and it’s going to be something that I am not going to be bored.
    Between all those I have a fiance too; that I want to bring her here and live together the rest of my life with her. To bring her here we need to get married; we both want that, we need to be patient because the paperwork takes some time to be done. I am planning to do all those things in 3 years from now; be with my wife in our own apartment, have a better job and complete my bachelor degree.

Me and my beautiful fiance.

    I hope to succeed and live a simple life with my wife and my kids; but kids are not in the near future right now. I have to be patient, find a better job so I can earn a good amount of money and be able to rent my own peaceful place, to raise my kids with love and live my whole life with my beautiful wife that I love so much.
