My Girlfriend Says I Talk Too Much

Big Move April 16, 2009

Well, tonight I’m making a pretty big move.

In fact, as far as relationships go it’s one of the biggest moves you can make outside of getting married. My girlfriend and I, after many months of planning and deliberation, have decided to take a big step and move in together come June 1, 2009.  We sign the lease tonight. I feel like I should be nervous or scared, but it’s quite the opposite. I feel very comfortable that I’m making the right decision. I know that when things are rocky she’s more than willing to communicate and work things out, and that’s all I can ask for.

This isn’t my first time shacking up with another woman. Obviously, the first one failed but I learned quite a bit about myself and I feel so much better going into it this time because I have a pretty good idea of what to expect. We were smart enough to realize that from time to time we are going to need our own space and didn’t want to feel like we lived on top of each other. Because of that, we decided we wouldn’t move into anything less than a 3 bedroom property.

Individually, I know that I still have a lot of work to do on my own and day by day I’m getting better and moving to the place I need to be.  For the first time in a long time I feel like I have control. I see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Beyond everything I’ve mentioned so far, I love the girl and my hope is to marry her one day. Moving in is the next step in the process and I couldn’t be happier. Wish me luck!
