U.K and U.S.A .......problem..... Mandy 2006 Oct 30 08:59 PM

It's amazing I'm even doing this but here it goes.
I met Ian (my boyfriend) about 4 years ago this month. He instant messeged me first. Ian lives in Widnes,England,U.K while I live in Minnesota,USA. We didn't really talk till a few months later. As our relationship grew so did our longing to be together. Finally, after two years we decided to meet. Being as I already been to England once decide I should meet him over there.The very moment I saw him, I wanted to kiss him everywhere but I was very nervous to. He kissed me first with so must passion! Basically, we knew we were ment to be together. Those two weeks were heaven!
Came home and wanted to go back!
A year went by. Saved my money. Bought yet another ticket and went back to England.
BAD IDEA!!!!!!! While waiting for my turn to pass through immergration, I completly got nervous! What if they don't let me in this time? Now, I have a problem, I have severe anxiety. I can't think straight in high stressful situation. Got to the desk and told them I was family............................oops! For GOD SAKE I HAVE AN AMERICAN ACCENT!!! They knew I lied..... They put me in this waiting room. This small cell like area. Kept thinking to my self FOR GOD SAKE WHAT HAVE I DONE!!! No chairs to sit on. I was on the floor! Like a criminal I waited......waited.............waited. About 5 hours to be exact. When they called my name I could hardly stand without feeling pure shame.
Went to this office, they basically didn't like me coming just to see my boyfriend. Told me I had to take the next flight first thing in the morning! Waited..........waited............waited.....in a room that smelled. Finally, there was an officer who was kind enough to put my in a room with a chair and a t.v. About three hours later, a woman arrived. While watching a British version on Big Brother, I was informed that my boyfriend's uncle rang to ask if I could stay at least two weeks.
In no time they were like yes! OH MY GOD! Well, he thank god knew the imigration officer because he was a guard to the Queen once and evened things out a little. When all was clear, I could NOT believe I was seeing my boyfriend again! Kissed him for a good 10 or 15 mins and went back home. We didn't leave each others side the entire two weeks. When I had to leave, I gave him goodbye kisses that could of never ended had it not be for his dad telling me that if I didn't get on that plane there'd be trouble. He was saying it through the most kindness though. haha!
Anyways, now it been a year. Since then my boyfriend has been though a lot! First his grandmother dies, then his moms devolopes cancer, then his dog goes all the way blind and now we are finacally unsure when we are going to see each other again. Ian has debt from the phone company because he calls me everynight for more then an hour! He has called my everyday for the past 4 years without fail! But now I have to call him because he needs to pay his bill. Things will be ok after a few months though. He's selling grandmothers house so surly get money from that, but we still have a long ways to go yet! I want to be married and have babies before I'm 30! He wants 7 babies!! We'll see! hehe! For now, I'm working 6 days a week. Two part time jobs. One, New York and Co. the other Children's Place as a cashier. Not the best jobs, but it'll do.
And so the drama continues. Hopeing 2007 will be the year of hope and hopefully a bit of luck.
I am so lost without him. My story is long and depressing, but what can ya do? Just wait and see.
Oneday, I will be with my Ian!
