My 200th Post!!!
So when better to reveal some of the biggest news of my life?!!
As mentioned in my previous post, Ben and I have had some big news brewing while I was in Vanuatu, and I think now is the perfect time to share not one, but two exciting developments with you guys.
Exciting development #1:
Should the Australian Immigration Deparment decide to bestow their benevolence upon us, Ben may be coming to live with me in Australia next year while I do my new graduate program.
We will be making visa applications and hopefully Ben will be able to come and live with me and work to earn some money to pay for his school fees when we return to Vanuatu in 2008, and improve his English language skills, which will put him in greater demand as a teacher in Vanuatu.
We are both extremely excited and know that while this path is going to be hard work, and it may be be long and convoluted, if it all comes together it will be worth it. It will also mean that we won't have to spend 12 months apart while I complete my new graduate program here in Sydney next year.
Exciting development #2:
We're engaged!!!
While my mum and stepdad were visiting us in Port Vila Ben took the opportunity to ask for their permission for him to marry me... or to use his exact phrase, to ask them if they'd let him have me. They said yes!
A week later, at the airport as I was preparing to board my flight back home, Ben asked me to marry him and be his wife. Of course I said yes!
So I am now officially off the market, and will be a married woman in the foreseeable future!!!

Happy, Happy Engagement.

What great news!
What wonderful news! May you always have such happiness to share with us.
I am thrilled for you both.
(So is Michele...she'll no doubt be tickled pink, too!)
YAY
I am sooooooo excited for you....that is great news
HAPPY ENGAGEMENT
Yikes marriage. Well good luck to you then.
while this path is going to be hard work, and it may be be long and convoluted, if it all comes together it will be worth it.
Yeah that sounds like marriage.

Congrats! Michele sent me to say hello by the way. And hope the visa stuff goes well for you. My best friend married a woman from Australia and they both wanted her to come to the states on her own first. Paperwork galore but I'm sure you know ALL about that.
Michele sent me...congrats on your engagement, and may you always be happy!
Heyy!! I lost your blog url, was great to find you again on Michels site. (I havent played the weekend game in awhile.)
Congrats on the engagement, that's great news!!!
Hi Yaeli!! Here via Michele's tonight and pleased to offer my congratulations as you embark on your journey together!
OMG! I have goose bumps! Of all the posts to happen here, I get to share in your excitement and happiness! Congratulations!!!!
I can TOTALLY relate to the whole immigration thing.... I just got my US citizenship in March, and we (my husband and I) also JUST received word that our residency visas for New Zealand have finally been approved so we're moving!
All the best to you! Here from Michele's!
Congratulations! I actually remember a past post with a picture of Ben. I'm here via michele.
wow, congrats on the engagement AND the 200th post! What wonderful news!
Hello, Michele sent me.
All the best. What a great news to share.
Congrats!! I wish you all the best. I can relate to being apart from your sweety. We initially met online, spent a year dating, he drove hours every weekend to spend it with me. Was able to move here finally, then we had to wait 3 more yrs to finally be married. Which happened under 2 months ago lol We leave for our honeymoon in 2 days!!.
I could only wish u the happiness I have myself. Good luck to u both.

Yaeli, I just decided to come here and read what you have been up to - and I see this great news! I am so happy for you - as you are obviously on Cloud nine! Congratulations, and I hope he can get to Aus. to be with you and study.
Congratulations on the happy developments. Let's hope the government processing goes fast.
Congratulations!! I love it when people get engaged!!
Congratulations, Yaeli!!! You deserve much happiness. Hope all of the immigration stuff goes smoothly.
Congradulations on the engagemnent! I hope the visa goes well and that you get it.
Michele hopes the same too.
Congratulations to the both of you, Yaeli. Ben's a very lucky bloke. I've had my eye on you for months and while my heart is breaking in one sense-it's also brimming with joy for your happiness, Yaeli. How'd that sound?
Smooth Dave... Smooth!
Congratulations! Wishing you all the best...
Michele sent me.
Wow!!! That's great news!
When I got engaged, everyone kept asking us, "When's the big day?" and we were like, "Can't we just be engaged for a while, do we have to know?" Then, just now, I was going to ask you when you planned to have your big day, but then I thought better of it.
I bet maybe Michle will ask... I just came from there.
Congrads on your engagement! Such happy news! And congrads also on your 200th post! I just did mine recently too!
