My time With Jenn March/April 2016

Me and my beautiful Jenn have been spending time together in March and April, and we have even been expanding our field of travel to another state , North Carolina a city called Asheville.

Neither of us had ever been there before and it was a very interesting and beautiful place, but before all that we did our usual tour  of our favorite places.

I think that now it has become tradition that we visit some of the places because they are so special to us and our growing together, all the places we go to have been key in our coming together over the years and so we visit them for that reason...and of course because we love the places and are very happy there.

I set off to be with my beautiful Jenn on the 26th of March...the day before my actual flight, and I will spend the night in the airport I don't sleep though , I spend the night sat watching movies or walking around the terminals. the reason that i don't sleep at the airport is because I have this idea that if I did i would wake up the next day at 1pm and have missed my flight and I know I would be devastated so I don't take the chance. I actually have a reoccurring dream usually a couple of weeks before I am due to set off, in the dream I am at the airport and i relies that I have forgotten something so I rush back too the house but when I get there it is to late for me to make it back to the airport.

I boarded the flight to Atlanta at 11 and took the 9 hour flight across the Atlantic ocean, now usually I can't even sleep on the plane.. due to excitement and not the comfiest seats in the world, but this time i think i did snooze for a while. I remember putting a film on and beginning to watch it . I suddenly open my eyes and the end credits are listing. so ever it was a very short movie or I slept for around 2 hours, then I did it again. I looked out of the window and we were over land.

The plane was soon on the ground and as soon as I got through security I walked as fast as i could with my bags to get to Jenn who was waiting for me, she always gives me butterflies every time I see her. we hugged and kissed and were  on our way to Suwanee, the journey there is not to long and we were booked in to the hotel and off out for food. for the first couple of days Jenn had to work so I would go see a movie and have some food until she finished. When Jenn got back we would go and drive around to different places in Suwanee and do some shopping or eat or see a movie. 

On Thursday we traveled to Dahlonega, this was the very first place that we spent time together and it hasn't really changed over the years which I am happy about, even though I don't live there it has so many memories now for both of us and it really feels like i am home when I am there with Jennifer

dahlonega is such a beautiful place and it has managed to keep most of its original buildings and it is very proud of its history as it is the location of one of the biggest gold rushes in the united states. there is so much to do there and we are never bored.

 

After Dahlonega we set off for Asheville. it was around a 3 hour journey and for the first time ever me and Jennifer crossed a state line from Georgia to North Carolina the only time i had crossed a state line before was in the air so I don't think that really counts. 

the scenery on the way was beautiful there was lots of mountains and forestry and nature of all kinds.

 we were soon at the hotel in Asheville we had a great view of the mountains from our window, but we didn't really spend much time at the hotel we were out most of the time exploring

Asheville has a lot of very old buildings ..

 the reason for this is something to do with a lot of the money was from people who lived in New York and when the big wall street crash happend  Many of the major cities wrote off their debts.. but Asheville didn't.. they paid back every penny.. it took the city till 1976. In that time the city had no money so they couldn't knock down any buildings or build new ones. so the city stands now with little change from hen it was originally built.. and each building has history there and we loved it.. we did so much. We went on a ghost walk ,, a trolly tour and explored the city as best we could.

We also Went to the Biltmoore estate in North Carolina,

 this place was HUGE!!! the land was around 8000 acres and the house its self was  three times the size of the white house and was picturesque from any angle.

 Me and Jenn walked through the house and it must have taken us close to a hour and a half to just walk through the open parts, certain areas of the house were closed to the public.

 in each room were small descriptions and pictures that gave information about the area and what would happen there. There were small leaflets or even voice recordings that explained about the rooms.

the place even had its own gym, a bowling ally and a swimming pool , you could live in this place for a year and still discover new rooms I bet.

Once we were out of the house we took a drive to a restaurant within the grounds and once we had finished there we walked around a farm . There was also some of the most beautiful gardens I have ever seen,

it really felt like a day was not enough to see everything in the Biltmoor estate but we made the most of the time we had there.

there was one strange thing about Asheville when the sun went down the town seemed to go very quiet, me and Jenn went to a Walmart at about 9pm.. and it was a standard size walmart so quite big.. and I kid you not when I tell you all that me and Jenn and just two other people apart from the staff.. I have never seen a walmart so quiet in all my walmart visits, but in the day time you couldn't look in any direction without seeing people.


Our next Stop was stone mountain.

This is a place that me and my Beautiful Jenn visit as often as possible..

 it really is a special place for us. we love to take in all the scenery and there is so much for us to do there .. we never get bored ..

We go on the train around the mountain , we play mini golf, 4d movies, laser shows.. we really try to fit it all in.

So after all that fun it was time for me to have to go back to England for a while.. this is the one part of it that I always hate.. to have to be away from my Beautiful Jenn is the hardest thing I ever have to do. I always wish I had just that one more day... Just that few more minutes.. that few more seconds.

We drove to the airport and we hugged and kissed and Said we would be back together very soon (18th of July) which is already booked.

This is not the end of the story for this journey....Jenn had headed back home and I was going through security.. now my flight was due to depart at 7:10pm ..I got to the security line at about 6:25.. so I had plenty of time, the line seemed to be moving quite smoothly. Just before I got to the line for the body scanner the line just stopped moving, i looked at my watch and it was now 6:40 pm. I had 30 minutes yet till the flight departed so I wasn't so worried . The line began to move again, I eventually got through, I looked at my watch.. it was now 6:55pm.. i ran to the terminal.. and I could see my gate...the very last one at the end I could see the man at the desk , i got to the desk and he said to me " Mr Webster?"  I said " yes" ....he said " your to late.. the flight is going.
I looked and I could see the plane at the gate, I looked at my watch it was 6:58pm

I said " but the flight doesn't leave till 7:10pm.. he then told me that the door for the flight closes 20 minutes before departure, I asked him if there was any way I could get on the flight he said no the flight was closed.. he said that they had called my name three times and asked where I had been, I told him that the security line took longer than I expected, he told me I needed to go to the Delta help desk at the other end of the terminal.

I got to the help desk and they pointed me to a phone that would put me through to a delta agent.
A lady dealt with me..she was very nice.. I explained my situation and she placed me on hold.. after a few minutes.. she came back on the phone and she told me that she had managed to get me on to a flight the next day and and that they had agreed to waiver my fees too.. she had worked at Atlanta and she said she knew that sometimes the security there can move slowly. I couldn't thank her enough.

I called Jenn to tell her, and when I told Jenn what had happened she came back and picked me up we were blessed with a extra day together. my bags were automatically placed on the flight the next day, Jennifer bought me a new toothbrush some clothing and we had a pizza. I was so happy to have that one extra day with my Beautiful Jenn.

I set off for England the next day and made sure I was at the gate a good while before the flight,
I hate been away from my Beautiful Jenn, but i am happy that our next time and adventure together is already booked and getting closer every day.

And we are now both looking in to getting me to be over there with her on a permanent basis.

Thank you for reading Mine and my Beautiful Jenns time together.

I love you forever my Beautiful Jennifer

A dear friend lost

Today we lost Sugar 

She was such a good cat and she loved her food.. she was one of the larger than life charciters that I had ever known. every morning she would wake up the entire house by meowing as loud as she could until some one fed her.. this would start as early as 8 am some mornings and she was deffinatly the boss of the other cats in the house, she would keep them in line by giving them a cheeky tap with her poor should they get to close to her food or do anything she didn't like

we had her for 13 going on 14 years

just recently she began to loose weight

and became very weak

she left us today at 415pm 

and will be missed forever

SUGAR 

2003 - 2016

A early christmas for me and my Jenn

With Me working in retail in England,  one time I can not get off from work is the Christmas period.

From mid November to early January I must be available to work as this is the busiest time and with having two jobs it's crazy busy....But me and my beautiful Jenn have found a way around it

I always try to be there for Jennifer's birthday on the first of November and I was able to be there for her birthday this year. I was there to see my Beautiful Jenn from the 25th of October to the 9th Of November

Time with my Jenn is always so precious and I don't take a second of it for granted

I suppose it does cross my mind that I wont be with her for the actual Christmas.

We often go to Stone Mountain in Georgia .. in fact we have annual passes for the park and come the 7th of November it turns in to Snow Mountain.. and all the Christmas fun begins.

The Small village area at the bottom of the mountain becomes a city of lights of every color,  there are Christmas themed events ranging from singing and live performance shows to 4D movies and even a train that circles the mountain and stops half way round for a festive show.

and the night all ends with a snow angel that flies high above the crowd and makes it snow.

she waves her wand and says a small poem and then she flies off.

Now I don't care that I am 36 years old.. I do strongly believe in the magic of Christmas, I believe that it brings hope and joy to not just my self but to anybody that chooses to believe in it. 

I also take time to think of other people who are like me and Jennifer.. who can't be together on Christmas day,..maybe because of work... or because they are in another county or maybe they are ill...what ever their circumstances I Feel that I understand how it must feel for them because I know it feels terrible to be so far away from the ones they love on December 25th.

I  have a small Christmas tree in my room that has a small switch on the bottom and when pressed... the tree glows green I light it every Christmas for me and my beautiful Jenn. I know that one day soon Me and Jenn shall spend our very first true December 25th Christmas together

 and when we do we shall put so many pictures on here for you all to see.

Thank you for reading our story 

back to writing

It has been so long since I wrote anything on here because work has kept me so busy. Im not sure if anybody will even read this anymore due to the amount of time I have not written on here, I can assure you all that I have not forgotten to write on here of lost interest to do so.

at this very moment I am in America and waiting for my beautiful Jenn to finish work.. so much time has gone by , me and Jenn are still as strong as ever and I still go to see her every couple of months.  Things seem to be moving along very nicely and we are now looking in to talking to a lawyer to help us in living together very soon.

I hope to keep you all updated on this and I will try to write on here at least once a week, so if there is anybody who still reads this then watch this space because I shall be writing again . I have lots of pictures to share  and lots of tales to tell about my adventures,,, my work.. and mine and Jenns life and our progress in getting to live together.

Thank you to all who read this and to all my friends.

Me and my Beautiful Jenn, July 2014

This is only the second time that I have been with my beautiful Jenn in July.

With me been English we are used to summers but not quite as warm as in America , the second I got off the plane I felt the heat, Jenn was waiting for me and by the time I got from the terminal to the car I could already feel my skin burning.

I was so happy to see my Beautiful Jenn to me she is amazing.

me and Jenn started off with breakfast in Dahlonega, at a small cafe called Picnic Cafe.

Its only a small place but it does the best bacon cheese and egg biscuit Ever.

After breakfast we went to a small town not to far from Dahlonega Called Helen, its based on and built like a old German town, the buildings are all very beautiful and the food is great too.

The main reason we went to Helen is for the tubing on the river, it has a tube ride that has two options , the short one or the longer one, me and Jenn went for the long tube ride which is two  hours long, the shorter ride is just a hour.

I put on my red sandals and about ten minutes in to the ride, I lost one of them which lucky for me some one further down the river managed to pick up and waited for me to hand it back.

I thought i had lost my trust sandal for all time.

Me and Jennifer had tied our two tubes together and had even worked out a system for turning left and right. other people had sticks and some were paddling it was fun.  after two hours of going down stream in our inflated tubes we came to the exit , we got dried off and went to explore the small town of Helen.

after we had finished there we went back to dahlonega and we decided we would go for a swim in a near by pool, it was a warm day and we thought it would cool us off, so I take my jeans off and I look at my legs, they are no longer pale but are now red .
I had caught the sun and its like one of those bruises that don't hurt till you look at them, my legs felt like they were on fire.  so we got in the pool and took a swim which seemed to cool me off, Jenn was laughing at my sun burnt legs because both of the legs were red up to the knee then pale white.

We got changed and got ready and picked up our tubes, I had shorts on and with me been English we don't see a incredible amount of sun so my legs were quite pale, it made Jenn laugh to see me in shorts. We got on to the river and sat in our tubes

for about two hours we were in the river and it was so much fun, some parts were very gentle and slow, while others where quite rapid and then there were parts where it was very shallow water and we would get stuck and I would have to stand up and drag us along to deeper water, and at one point my flip flop came off and floated off down stream, lucky for me another person got it for me.
 We eventually came to the exit and dried off and walked around the small town of Helen.

Later that night, We went for a swim in a near by pool, I take off my trousers and my legs up to the  knee are no longer white but red, it seems I had caught the sun.


We

thought it would be nice to visit the petting zoo near Dahlonega, We got there early and bought a ticket and a big bucket of feed for the animals,  we fed all the animals in the petting zoo, its amazing that even though the animals are very well looked after and fed, they will almost walk over each other to get to the food that the visitors bring.
 


We saw Camels and pony's, Zebra, parrots, monkeys and even hens and chickens and baby pigs.
they animals were all so very cute,.



We then went to a Chinese restaurant and ended up eating so much we both felt ready to explode.


Later that night we went to the Holly theatre in Dahlonega and watched the stage musical of the Monty python spamalot. it was based around the Monty python and the holy grail movie I love the Monty Python movies...and I must be honest I was in doubt as to weather or not the American cast could pull off the English accent, but hats off to them they did very well and the show made me laugh and I believe that even john clease would have given his approval on it. I really enjoyed it and would watch it again.



we spent a couple of days at Stone mountain park in Georgia
 
 this is one of our favourite places

, it has so much to do and even though Jenn beat me at mini golf it is one of my favourite activities at stone mountain and the train that rides around the mountain is a good relaxing thing to do,
 

 We bought a year pass and its great value for money we have only been three times this year and have already saved money by doing the year pass, we watched the laser show that is done on the side of the mountain.


Suwanee is a beautiful small town near lawrenceville and I know this area well, I have done so much jogging around here that i know almost all the places to go, the first night we decided we would go to the Movie tavern We saw Tammy a comedy movie and it was a good funny movie to watch.

The next night  we went to the Medieval times


, we have been here three times and each time our knight has won the tournament and the food is very good, and a great night out for the family,





 after each event, the winning knight gets a flower which he then throws in to the crowds and he threw one straight at me and Jenn, I caught it and passed it to jenn and then he went on to win the games.




 We decided that for breakfast we would go to Granny's new york pizza in suwanne, this place does some of the best pizza I have tasted so far in my life, and the staff are very friendly, now for me to say this about pizza is not to be taken lightly, I have visited many pizza places and this one ranks amongst the very best, if your ever in suwannie Georgia , you should definitely check it out

we visited a Hindu temple ,


 it was one of the most beautiful buildings I have ever seen


 
we also had a tour where we learnt a lot about the building and the culture and even though I was not allowed to take pictures of the inside, the outside was just as beautiful.







After we had been to the temple we went to a railway museum ,

 I never knew there was so much history in the rail ways and trains.
'
 it was very interesting and was also a great interactive fun time.
 
 We were allowed to board the trains and the engines and one of them was the carriage that president Harding travelled in

later that night we went back to the movie tavern and watched sex tape a comedy


on Friday we went to visit Clair, Jennifer's friend,
 

 Claire is also a close friend of mine and we have known her since jenn was at collage. we always go to visit Claire and she is kind enough to let us stay for a few days , so we stayed Friday and Saturday, and we watched movies with her and played board games.

she took us to a church and we even went to a play ground and on the swings.

Thank you Claire

for the first time me and Jennifer visited the beach together in Savannah, it was the first time in 17 years  I had been to the beach and i loved it


, we swam in the ocean together and walked on the beach a little, it was perfect  the weather was very very hot at one point it was 98f. but the water kept us cool and again I got sunburn on my legs and face.

we also visited the historic part of Savannah,
 

 every building had its own story to tell , it was very beautiful and old, and there were lots of different kinds of tours, me and Jenn decided to go on a ghost tour ,
 
 which took us around the old cemetery
 
 and also in to a old bar and through the back streets of Savannah.
 
 we took pictures and had fun, it rained the entire tour but we didn't let that stop u us from having fun. we spent two days in Savannah , and I took pictures and I think I even got a ghost on one of them,

I'm a very open minded person when it comes to ghosts and aliens and so on, so Savannah was very interesting for me

we ate fish in a restaurant near the river

 

 

and explored the river front, and saw a statue called the waiving lady,

 

 a story of a lady who would wave to ships as they came to dock at the river.


we headed back and for a few days stopped in Suwanee , we always go to our favourite places in Suwanee and we love Asian fusion its a small Chinese restaurant just near to where we stay and it does the best chicken ever !!!

we went to the movie tavern and to the AMC, and sat in reclining seats it was so good

on the last weekend we decided we would go back to dahlonega, and go tubing there,  we had been tubing here before its not as big as Helen but its just as nice. and later that night we went to the movies again and watched America, a documentary about the history of the USA.

 on Sunday the 27th I had to go back to England in the evening, so we made the best of every minute , we had lots of fun but it I had to go to the airport its always the part I hate, I hate that I have to be away from my beautiful Jenn, I miss her so very much we got to the airport and we had a hug and a kiss, and a drink in the airport, I walked Jennifer back to her car and waved to her as she left, and the second she was from sight I went in to the airport and got on the plane.

I cant wait till I can be back with my beautiful Jenn again very soon she really is perfect to me and I love her more than anything.
