My boyfriend is in the Australian Army and we're just about to move in together! My boyfriend and I have been together for about a year, and in that 12 months we have probably seen each other around.. 6 times. When we first started dated he was stationed four hours away, in a very small-town. Then he was moved down to Melbourne to a naval base, (he's not in the navy, he's in the army but they needed the numbers
) and finally he has been stationed up in Brisbane, Queensland.
In 8 days, (OMG!
) I will be moving up to Brisbane to live with him. We think of it as our reward for being patient during these past 12 months - and it has definitely been tough. Sometimes the army can be so secretive, too. Like, if he goes on a training exercise, he's not allowed to even tell
me where he's going, what he's doing and when he gets back he can't tell me what he
did.
We have finally obtained a beautiful rental property and next Sunday he is flying down to Sydney for my formal, then the day after we are driving up together, back to Brisbane.
Knowing how long it has taken us to
finally not have to say goodbye makes me want to cry happy tears, because I know it won't be this way for much longer! And then he's gone for 2 months in January out on a training exercise in the bush, so he'll miss my birthday.
Buuuuut, that's all part-and-parcel of being an army girlfriend.
I wouldn't change it for the world!
