No words for how happy I have been these last 2.5 weeks

Where to even start...
Let´s start with saying that I finished my work on time! So on the Friday that Philip arrived, I was able to hand in all my work and leave work with a nice feeling of not having to think or having to worry about work anymore. Everyone at work had been counting down the days with me and FINALLY it was the 3rd of October, the day Philip would arrive.
To see him again after 3 months was the best feeling in the world, to be able to hold each other again and look each other in the eyes aaahhh. He arrived around midnight and sadly his baggage was left in Sao Paolo in Brazil as his plane had been delayed and there hadn´t been enough time to move his luggage. Saturday we mainly stayed in and it was just so nice to just catch up and watch some movies and just relax together, something we hadn´t been able to do in so long. We went out for a drink at night and just had a lovely day but went to bed early as we ended up arriving home really late after the airport the night before.
We woke up around 5.30am the next morning and couldn´t fall back to sleep so Philip decided to make us breakfast and after 15 minutes he came in with this:

Candles, tea, eggs, bread and some fruit and after about 5 minutes he mentioned that I could put the shells in the bowl which was turned over (in the middle at the bottom on the photo). So I picked it up, and there it was, the box with the ring in it. Philip grabbed it and then I just started tearing up and it was just an amazing moment, because yes then it happened...
WE ARE ENGAGED!!!
It feels so so so so great! Literally there are no words for it, due to this we were even more head over heels in the time that he was here, we felt like there were literally love hearts jumping out of us when looking at each other haha.

Then suddenly it was Monday and we only had 2 weeks left. As I´m sure you all saw on Facebook we went travelling a lot and it went by so quick. First to La Serena, where we went biking and did a tour in the Elqui Valley. Then home for a weekend where we went hiking and horse riding and sunbathing at a pool. The second week we flew to Antofogasta and got a bus to San Pedro de Atacama, the desert. Our bus never turned up so we waited hours and then in the end they organised for us and 2 German guys and a Chilean guy to get a different bus and then a taxi to our destination. The taxi driver with the 2 Germans kept falling asleep while driving and even hit something, so I´m glad that we were in a different one... After lots of walking around at 1am, we found our hostel and we quickly went to sleep at 1.45am to then have to get up at 4.15am for a tour to the geysers.

As we had only arrived a couple of hours ago in San Pedro which is at a height of around 2500 metres and then went to the geysers at around 4300 metres, we found breathing at such an altitude very hard and tiring and also felt just so tired and I got really bad headaches. But the sights were amazing and followed by swimming in the natural hot thermals. The next day we went sandboarding which was awesome as well to see the desert and yes to do such an activity there.
We then got the bus upto the far north of Chile, Iquique where they had great beaches where we straight away jumped in the sea at 8pm when we arrived and the next day we went surfing and at night did some bootcamping followed by jumping in the sea again. So great to be able to do so many things and see all these places, instead of just knowing and staying in Santiago. Chile is definitely great in its variety and has some really beautiful sights!
We arrived back in Santiago on Saturday afternoon which meant we nearly got to end of our time together. That realization made me sad at several points during our last weekend but we definitely made the most of our time together and loved it so much!
I had to drop him off at the airport yesterday, and it took everything not to go after him and join him on the flight back home. I would have loved to... But no after some tears it was time to go back to work.
Motivation for work still needs to be found but hopefully I´ll find that soon and I just hope time goes quickly as in 25 days (4 working weeks, 15 november) I finally get to see my parents again, it´s been so long, I cannot wait! In the mean time I´ll try to keep myself busy and definitely will still make the most of it! 
Thanks all for reading my blogs and for keeping in contact with me and being so excited with us for getting married. Thanks once again for all the post I receive, post takes 6 weeks and I still have 8 weeks left so if you still wanted to send me something then I would recommend to do it in the next week or so.
Lots of love!!!
