It is most certainly great to be back in the United States. I actually have not been away for very long. I had just taken two weeks off of work from my day job to travel to the Philippines to propose to my girlfriend who is now my fiancé!

So I have not shared much of my personal life here, however I do want all of you to know some more about me. I feel it is great to add personal touches to these things. It's not all business.

My fiancé's name is Floriza, but she rather likes to be called Flor for short. It had been 6 years ago, but closer to 7 by November 11, 2022 that we had began our relationship after our paths had crossed on Instagram. I like to say that our paths crossed because neither of us were looking for a relationship until we first became friends, then it escalated from there into the beginning of our relationship. I had no idea that I was falling in love with this woman at the first, but then I felt it continue to grow. Of course like any relationship we have had our ups and downs, but the love held us together like glue. But I really believe it was our Lord that held us together since it was His plan all along.

So August 20, 2022 I began my trip to the Philippines to return on September 2, 2022. It was not a very long time away, although I felt it was long enough. My plan was to finally make that step to propose to Flor while enjoying my birthday for the first time overseas and with her family who are also such wonderful blessings to me.

As some may have guessed my ultimate plan is to apply for a fiancé visa to get Flor over here to the US for our legal marriage while having a bit of just a ceremony for her family to be able to take part in while I am there for my next trip.

So this just to fill you all in on some personal things that I have desired to share with you all. Certainly I have been away for some time. Sometimes for me it takes a while to snap back into a few things.

Just a quick note... for you all to keep checking back and into my my_vlog tab as soon I will have a really vlog video posted. A first of many which will be replacing what I want to called my dummy or test video currently in the my_vlog section.
