It's nice being able to lead independent lives, for example. And watch whatever I want on tv ;0)
But it would also be nice to be able to take more than a week's leave at a time (we choose more frequent, shorter trips) or, even more novel, to be able to take leave 'just because'. Or to spend time with other friends and family!
Plus, you know, being able to be together.
As for what we plan to do - that's sort of the problem. The most obvious answer is for me to move to Germany, but that could well mean giving up my career. Of course my contract here's up in December with no guarantee at all that it will be renewable. So a lot of it depends on what happens then. I've set aside half of my redundancy money from my last job with the intention of using it on German lessons if I get out there (unfortunately my job prevents me taking lessons here now, so I'd probably put a concerted effort into brushing up as much as possible before going out there).
But in short... yeah. We really don't know *how* we can make it work. And that's why I'm feeling shit right now. (Plus because I flew home on Sunday so I'm missing him terribly.)
