Moving on up
I have been waiting for this day for over two weeks now. I carefully said nothing here. The news was so good, so anticipated, that I was afraid of it. I was afraid the moment I typed these words, the entire thing would fall through. I was afraid that by making it real here, I would jinx it. I didn’t want to have to answer questions or shed public tears if it fell through. I didn’t want to get too excited and then get hurt. I was just scared.
But today it happened. I helped Big move into a new apartment all his own. I am inside it now typing this entry. I will be spending the night tonight. We have been together since 10:30 this morning and will be together still at 10:30 tomorrow morning. For the first time in the year and a half that I’ve known him, we are in his apartment together. We will be having regular overnights together. We are doing real things together. We are together.
You can see why I waited. You can see why this was so huge. This is a new phase in what we are to each other and where we are going together. This is a new chapter for us. This has been a long time coming and we’ve been working towards it for close to a month now. But I waited until I was sure to say it here.
I’m sure. I’m sitting in Big’s living room and I’m sure. And I’m happy.

Good for you hon! Congrats! I love happiness, and you deserve it.
I still am almost afraid to believe it all, you know?
That is excellent news! I can’t wait to have my own place, and maybe even someone who will also feel happy about it with me as a beginning of something new (and help me move)
Enjoy your time!
I’d help you move if you lived a little closer!
Good luck with it.
Thanks.
Wow, how exciting!
I think so.
Very exciting indeed. Congrats! And enjoy it tons!
I will! It’s still all a little weird.
Nice! Very nice that it’s his own place. Enjoy, but still, go slowly. You guys need time to see what happens.
I’m not sure how much slower the two of us could move. After a year and a half, what we really need is more time together to see how it will go, honestly.
I’m very happy for you and excited to see how this works out, step by step.
Watch out, that first step is a real doozy.
That’s awesome, J. I’m really happy for you.
My boy planned to just take me to the shoe store on
Sat. and drop me off early-ish in the day. (I can’t drive right now.) He had stuff he wanted to get done. But the way things went we ended up having a big conversation that had been a long time coming and then spending the whole day and night together. As we walked home from the movies we stopped on his street for a minute and he said, “I feel like we started over today.” (And we’ve been dating for over 3 years if you add it up, over 15 mos this time.)
Fresh starts feel good. Let’s hope the next steps are good for both of us.
My wish for you is that your fresh start be everything you are hoping for.
