Transitions

New dishes (acutally, just dishes period because we don't have any) and a comforter and stuff for our puppy that is still in Nebraska (sad). Here's a pic of him after his first bath. Not quite sure what to think...

We spent Saturday at the Botanical Gardens and then yesterday just doing...nothing, because sometimes all of the running around is exhausting.

Spending more and more time together not because it's calculated but because it's just how it happens.

I haven't eaten dinner without him since last Sunday and tonight my food didn't taste the same. It might be because I dumped the noodles in the sink (bad habit, Kamran?), or it might be because he wasn't here.

2 more months....

We're ready now.

I’ve never felt so excited about the direction my life was going in.
Not career or school or a specific day or event but life.
My future with this Boy (Man), our puppy, and whatever else life brings. I’ve never had the experience of moving forward with someone. It was always pulling someone along, torn between different dreams and desires…this time is different, and it’s exciting :)

It was one of those days where you don't want to sleep alone and after a friend's birthday party, when I was already half way to his house, I realized, he's only 10 minutes away....not 4 hours, and even after 8 months this being near is still an adjustment, so I called, "Can I come over?"
Sharing a day in person is so much better than over the phone and I thanked him for letting me sleep with the smell of his pillows and the comfort of everything that is his, and without hesitation he said, "You're just filling your spot in our bed."
The bed that will be mine...and his in 3 months.
And a puppy that is waiting for us half way across the country...
Thank God for balance in my life.
