Looking forward

We've had our share of challenges in the last couple of years. If it wasn't health related it was VISA related, then job related and even ex job related, and we also had allot of fun in our first apartment that we rented once we got to the UK. Not just the fact that after a couple of months living with the parents we over reacted a bit and got a too big a place. But the place ended up being damp ridden and we quickly realized that the nice "features and fittings" were horribly installed and started giving out almost as soon as we moved in, not to mention the speed bump (as it affectionately became know as) that pushed up under our bed when the floor boards buckled after the first week and took the landlord about 4 months to fix. We also decided moving into the spare room was the wiser choice since we did not know what caused the floor to lift. Thus we had a huge room for my lonely computer and we settled into the little spare room.
However all that now seems to be settling behind us. We are finally looking towards to future, our wedding is coming up in a couple of weeks. We are going to South Africa for it and getting out of the cold in UK for a bit. My job has finally taken off, and my better half left her high stress job to find something less frantic outside of the city. We even managed to give notice at our flat! 
Life seems to be getting better rapidly and I'm thankful to God that he helped us get through it all and that our relationship is stronger than ever.
So here is to the future!
