And all is right.

Many of you that read this, even most I would say (since there aren’t many of you), know that I moved across the country on more than just a whim. I moved to be closer to a person that joined my life a bit abruptly, but who has changed me and it in so many ways. I’ve met this amazing person. For once in my life, I can honestly say, I’m in a relationship that makes me happy. I spend a lot of time laughing and smiling. And the times that I’m not, he spends figuring a way to tickle them out of me. I thought I probably would avoid mentioning him, but he’s a huge part of my life these days and I’m really happy he is.

Amazing is a pretty big word. By big, I mean, well….it says a lot, and there is a lot to be said. Some days I want to pinch myself, wonder how I’ve gotten to this place in my life…I’ve even tried that, but it doesn’t work. So, let me elaborate on amazing. I’ve experienced a roller coaster of emotions in the last 6 months, even more so in the last year. Most of those I would say were confusing, depressing, even angering. I got divorced from a man, who I was never right for in the first place. I lost a job I loved and learned that many of the people I had trusted and cared for the most weren’t anything more than acquaintances in the long run. But as I've said before, everything happens for a reason and there is a silver lining to everything. He is my silver lining.

I've never been so excited about a person in my life. I've never looked forward to waking up each morning and seeing someone next to me. Suddenly, the smallest things in the world matter the most. A kiss on the forehead, a hug, an I love you...I live for these small moments now...these small moments that make my life right. When I look back on the last 6 or so months, it's not the tears or the loss of friends, or any of the hurt that stands out to me. It's these small moments I have been able to share with this wonderful man that is in my life. It's the late night TV shows, the laughing uncontrollably, the family get togethers....I think of these things and I smile and I thank God that I'm at this place in my life.
