Not all perfect

I wake up incredibly happy every day, I got the most amazing husband who brings me flowers when I least expects it. We have a rear bond where no words are needed for us to communicate exactly how we feel. I have the most supporting Family who keeps supporting me and my decisions all the way from the other side of the world. A family so great they all came to Australia for our wedding. I have found great friendships in Australia, friends that I can come to with anything on my heart. And I know I can count on my in-laws if something ever goes wrong. My life is pretty great, but there are some down sides too.  
I miss my amazing friends back home, I miss the ability to visit my family whenever I want, and I miss the culture and nature I grew up in.  
I am writing today as I needed to reflect upon my life, as it is very frustrating not to have the certainty of a permanent visa. I am missing the safe feeling of belonging at the place that I live. Australia can send me back to Norway at any stage, although it is not likely they still have the power to do so. It has now been more than 14 months ago since we applied for my Visa, and it is unfair. It is unfair as I know people applied for the same visa last month and got theirs after 10 days. Their situation might be different to ours, but we are married, we have a house and dog and I would love to get the confirmatory from them that I do belong here, that I am welcome and that they will not send me home (to make us fight even harder for our love)
I will write soon, and see if I can get some more photos of the house (need to find my camera cord again)
