I'm getting ready to move over to England. I have just finished putting my CV together, and now Clare's having a look at it and making a few changes.
Clare is the reason I'm making the move. She works as a Portfolio Administrator in the NHS, and knows what makes a good CV, so I'll wait until she has it sorted before I submit it to Reed one of the biggest job recruitment agency's in the UK.
I met Clare through a website I seen a banner for on Newgrounds. It was a website called Flirtomatic and I thought it was just another Myspace effort. It turned out to be more of a dating chat site really. There was a few oddballs on there as you'd expect, this being the internet. Then I saw Clare's page and she looked beautiful and she'd great taste in music too, she listed bands like Arcade Fire and Elbow, not bands the radio plays much of so I knew she'd a mind of her own.
I sent her a message and we got talking, this was in around November of 2006 and we spoke almost everyday after that. Most of the time we'd talk for hours about our shared interests and what we thought about different issues and we were on the same page every time. Could it be had I finally found the girl for me?
We progressed over the months from only speaking on Flirtomatic to MSN, emailing and then speaking for hours on end over the phone. Then in May of this year we finally met in Dublin. I waited for what seemed like an eternity at Dublin airport. The moment I'd waited for so long finally came when I saw the cutest little blonde girl coming through the doors and I just had to run over to her and give her a massive big hug.
After that we were inseparable, holding hands all the way in the taxi to the hotel, and any time we are together now we always seem to have the need for some contact.
Neither of us want to be apart so it was bound to happen that one of us would make a move. Clare loves Ireland and we may eventually move back here together at some stage but for now life will be in Berkshire.
I'll tell you how the job search goes in future posts, wish me luck.
