Despite the constant high-stress high-volume workload I now basically have 24/7/365, I have been super excited the last few months... You might have noticed my status change- and after 2 years of very depressing singleness, I am now part of a couple! And  very, very special couple in both my own and the new boy's opinions.

Both of us have already talked about marriage and babies, and I had been so excited to be potentially joining the club which all of my clients are in, or are entering into! This relationship has been so different, and so amazing... I've been totally swept off my feet.

And here's the bad news... My BF's father had a stroke a few weeks ago, and the family has not taken the stress very well, it's been scary, and they have never gone through something like this and it's hit them hard. BF has decided to temporarily move to be near them, for a minimum of 6 months (the shortest amount of time he can transfer with his job), but it could be much longer than that.

We had previously been on the same page of no long distance, but that was when there was no thought of a LDR happening... so I have obviously changed my mind and am hoping to make it work... but BF is so stressed and overwhelmed with everything he keeps saying he can't imagine adding one more stressful thing to his plate- he'd go clinically insane if he did that, even though he doesn't want to loose me.

We've also had to deal with our coupled nutty schedules, which means we've only seen each other twice in two weeks, for a total of about an hour and ten minutes together in person.

I'm thinking it's probably going to end. I really thought this was it! I really, genuinely thought I wasn't going to have any more heartache in my life, that I had paid my dues!

I guess I was pretty dumb to think that, huh?
