it's a wrap!

so all the traveling has been done. the guy and i have met one another's families and friends and it was all good. it's such a strange thing. the nerves were completely wasted because everything was fine. it makes sense because we get along well so it'd make sense that we'd individually get along with those who were raised with us. maybe. who knows? but it worked out and i'm glad.

so we got a lot of questions about our future together. we don't know. the truth is - i love him to bits. it's been roughly eight months and i've loved every minute of it and the best thing is that it only gets better everyday. whatever happens between us - i'm ready. *grin.

i suppose i'm inspired by all the love around me. was that the cheesiest thing you've ever read? sorry. but i'm in a place where i love hearing about the upcoming and ongoing couplings. it seems like everyone around me is either meeting that 'someone', shacking up or gettin' hitched. it's kind of odd. or maybe i'm just noticing...

in the rest of my life: i've been reading like a fiend. i'm excited about that! i'm not reading literature by any means but it's good to fall in love with a book again.

i'm also moving again. sigh. i just realized i don't make as much money as i'd like and i gotta go from here. yes, everyone i know (almost) thinks i live way too far away but i disagree. it's accessible and it'd be nice to be closer to work no doubt. the bottom line is that i SUCK at finding somewhere to live. if j and i ever reach that point - finding our home is going to be ALL up to him. i get impatient and worry so much i take my mind to a place where i'm homeless. it's bad. so i looked around a little more and found a much closer-in place near a couple of friends. sweet. and most importantly, it's affordable. sigh.

i'm into sighing a lot. j laughs at me. have you seen "beaches"? he likes to say: "eris feels deeply". it was funny at first. i've asked him to stop.

also, i've been drafted as 'coordinator' for my family's upcoming family reunion. that's actually fun (right now) because i get to call everyone in my family. i called my uncle's house and my 'little' cousin answered the phone. he sounded like a grown man. i can't even beleive he's in high school.

i've said too much.

'night.
