One step closer - #Part 3 VISA APPROVED :D A love abroad
Today is a joyful day for me and my wifey :) @fernwehninja
A joyful moment , i want to share with you all !
To hopefully inspire , and strengthen other people who might be in the same situation .
As some if you might have read before , we are a couple living abroad from each other. I live in Holland , and she lives in the Philippines. Around 9000 kilometers apart. A situation which isn't always easy for us . She is an absolute rock for me in this kind of situation , because of her amazingly positive attitude .
A few weeks ago we started the process for a Schengen Visa. A Visa which makes it able for her to travel to Europe.
It was a very stressful process , especially for her . We had to arrange a lot of documents , and proof of us being together multiple times . And a proof of her returning back to the Philippines . It also was very costly process , which including all the fees and the tickets , costed us around a 1000 euro's in total . Luckily we found Steemit. Which helped us a lot covering some costs.
She had to travel from Cebu to Manila , to process the documents , and do a small interview , explaining our situation , and the reason for applying. Take a travel insurance that was Schengen proof , and a whole bunch of other things .
So all in all a very costly undertaking , without not having anything at all yet . Which obviously brings a certain type of stress , spending all that money , time and effort with all the uncertainty around it . But we just went full on heads first the both of us.
With a lot of hard work , effort , and determination , you can achieve a lot .
And we did , all our effort , and work , and a lot of her positive attitude , we went thru the process .
After this all was processed , the waiting game begun .
The waiting game was actually less stressful for the both of us . Because we both did everything we could , to make all documents , and everything in order. So from this moment , it wasn't in our hands anymore. And my wifey felt so confident.
Her confidence was really affecting for me , and it took me over as well .
And as many times before , she was right .
Because recently we heard the Visa application was approved. A very emotional , and exciting moment for us !
We will be together for a certain 3 months now . A time-span , we haven't shared together yet . It will be all very new to us , but we are both so looking forward to this. Being together in the first place , but also being together in a normal daily routine .
We so far only spend holidays together , which obviously have a very different routine doing activities and going out and stuff.
But now we will both be working , and this feels so close to being a real family together .
I can't wait to do the normal couple life things together, and let her be part of my culture.
Doing groceries , cooking food together , making walks with my lovely fatty dog Chico . Who she will also meet for the very first time .
Going on dinners with friends , doing activities , and we also have some foreign trips planned . So i can show her Europe for a bit.
But most of all.
Waking up , for the first time in my own bed , with my wifey next to me , and watching her beautiful face , at the first glance in the morning.
Honey , i can't wait till hold you in my arms again. You are my rock , and my everything.
We will be together in 6 more days.
I love you so much and i am super proud of you !
I also want to give a shout out to my dad , whom fully supports us , and made this Visa possible. I am so thankful for that !
I can not wait and it makes me emotional writing this .
Recently , we got one step closer , one step closer , in being together , and being a family for the rest of our lives.
Thank you all , for reading and supporting thru your votes. It means a lot to us !
