Hello my watchers, I'm sure y'all are wondering about what happened earlier on this month with me and
allycat being together physically. Here is how the trip panned out: I went to the airport to pick up Ally. I waited for her to come down the arrival ramp with a rose in hand to which a random woman asked me if the rose was for an Australian girl. told her yea, n she said she was on her way. Another group of girls came down and one commented "Awe flowers... who is the lucky girl getting those... I wanna wait and see this"
Ally finally rounds the corner and light up. she crash tackles me. Hugs and Kisses commence in which the group of people behind us start applauding us. We pick up her bags and the other group applauded us after saying "Awe there's the lucky girl. So sweet"
After getting to the house and settling in, we went about meeting the random bits of family here and there that we could. embarrassing stories but nothing that wasn't taken in stride.
We then took in some of the local sights, specially seeing the Giant Catchup bottle and the pedo van aka the free ice cream truck with the picture of a disgruntled girl on the side. Yea, don't ask cause I have no clue.
Afterwards, we checked out the Cahokia mounds historic museum, climbed monks mound and yea. it was neat. Also Ally got to see an entire heard of wild deer with a very calm turkey in the middle. seriously like 20 deer.
Had a nice day up here so I took Ally out on a short motorcycle ride on my bike. She was scared but loved it though the helmet was a bit big for her so it was a bit heavy for her. thus why the ride was short.
then came our trip to Lotta Watta Creek to which me, Ally and my little cousin ended up sharing a meal as they are absolutely huge in portions.
Then Saturday came along and the morning was spent with Me and ally cuddled up watching the new MLP ep with our friend
KLsanchez in the background making funny comments. good morning for sure. Next we hopped into the uber van, and made our way to
shebascuro's and
reignfayes's place. we met up with
kemarcyri there too and we made a big breakfast with eggs, bacon *dear god so much bacon*, sausage and waffles. After letting the food settle, and the girls giving Ally a hand made full sized tail, we all went off to the St. Louis City Museum. Think a McDonald's play place but for big kids like us. So many things happened there but way to much to list here. After all that we went to my bro-in-law and sister's Super bowl party. That was awesome. good game too. good food, and just a bunch of awesome. Everyone loved her like crazy.
The next few days we settled in a bit and enjoyed each others company. Then my sister took Ally shopping, or rather power shopping and we all met up at Longhorn Steakhouse. So good. Then Ally got to experience her first natural snowfall. we kissed in the snow, had a snowball fight, and she made a little snowman.
I had to work a few days while Ally was visiting only because I'm the plant manager and know as much if not more about current going on's than my boss. While I was at work, Ally visited with my grandmother (recently widowed) and my grandma loved the company. She also met more of my family, including my distant uncle that is an absolute hoot to be around and talk with. Specially when I used my phones Google map satellite view to show him his house.. and he went happy crazy. it was hilarious.
Then me, Ally, my dad, sis, bro-in-law, cousins and aunt went to Cracker barrel for their Sunday fried chicken special. After that me n Ally had a very romantic Valentines day.
I got home from work, got ready and with the both of us dressed up, we went to Red Lobster for dinner, then came home to exchange V-day gifts. I got a framed picture of Ally, and a Leather necklace with Australian Jasper. I also got a big chocolate heart. I got Ally a small gold rose, and a Hallmark blooming rose that said I love you which as she saw it, I held her close and spilled my heart to her. I told her that I loved her, which I do very much. Never felt this way about anyone before. Not this strong. She told me she loved me too and there was hugs and kisses. We then went to the late show of Red Tails. Epic movie. GO SEE IT!!!!
We then went to the Arch n got to see the museum and the top of the arch. It was amazing. Got tons of pictures. After the Arch, we went to Union Station and watch some great performers make fudge and got some of it to munch on. So freaking rich.
Then came Saturday when we went to the Mardi Gras parade in the morning. Ally got TONS of beads and we met some awesome new people. One guy was cosplaying as a demon-spawn dragon and the other was a Russian. His best comment, after Ally got a set of beads with Tanning coupons was and I quote "giving an Australian coupons for tanning is like giving an Eskimo free ice"
We then got to travel up to see the Bald Eagles up in Grafton. I even got to show her my future house. On the way up and down, we saw one Bald Eagle having a hard time with landing, and a ton of vultures. Literally like 30 in the air at once. crazy. We then went down to Alton and toured the city looking for the haunted houses, of which we got pictures of the McPike mansion. There was others in there but I cant remember the names ATM.
Then came the day that Ally had to go back home. There was a lot of tears from not just her, but me too. Leaving her at the airport (I stayed with her as long as I possibly could. I couldn't go past the security gates) was the hardest thing Ive had to do so far. If I had my passport, I would have joined her then and there.
Pretty much thats the wrap-up of the trip. I may be leaving a few things out but this is all the major things thats happened.
I miss her being here so much. Its too quiet now. I miss you sweetie and I love you very much. Hopefully talk to you soon!
also want to say a Huge thank you to Ally's parents for getting her over here. Without them, it would have been way longer till our first meet up being together. Next is for all of my family and friends (you know who you are so I don't need to list you again). You helped make her stay here wonderful.
Thank you all.

We didn't get to have much of a V Day due to me having the flu, but I made up by getting her an Umbreon plush. ^^ Hope to hear from you soon!
You'll see each other again before you know it. :)
