Taking the Next Step

I can't believe it's finally happening! I feel like after a year of complaining we are finally moving in together! This is a huge step for me, as I have never lived with anyone before. I can say I have mixed emotions about this. Part of me is very excited and can't wait to start moving and decorating our apartment. The other half of me is scared. I am not going to lie I am going to miss my mom and my cats. I will have to go and visit them a few times a week. 
 One concern that I want to address is how am I going to put up with Donald. He is not mean, but he is extremely lazy. I will not be able to tolerate that. He will have to contribute to the cleaning and housework as well. I have told him that; I just hope he complies. That's one thing I will not put up with is his laziness. I also am going to start cooking healthier recipes. I love Don and I care a lot about his health, but he really does need to lose some weight. I want to discuss that with him, but it is a sensitive subject and I don't want to hurt him or make him feel bad. I know he already feels bad. The last thing I want to do is make him feel worse about himself. 
   I am going to start making him work out with me as well. It's great that our apartment has a 24hr free access gym. That will help out a lot, not with just him but with me as well. I can stand to get into shape a bit. I just want us to start eating healthier and being more fit. 
    Moving into our own apartment is making me excited. I have a lot of decoration ideas to make it pretty. Don already gave me the green light in that department. This is going to be the fun part. The not-so-fun part is the finances. I already handed all that responsibility over to Don. HA! I know my own bills to pay, but he can manage the rest. 
  All this change in my life is going to be drastic and it's going to take me a while to adjust, but I am definitely looking forward to what the rest of this year holds for us. 
Here's to happiness & love.

✳Addicted to Love✳♥

Real love isn't just a euphoric, spontaneous feeling--it's a deliberate choice--a plan to love each other for better and worse, for richer and poorer, in sickness and in health" .

I'd rather have bad times with you, than good times with someone else. I'd rather be beside you in a storm, than safe and warm by myself. I'd rather have hard times together, than to have it easy apart. I'd rather have the one who holds my heart. 

There isn't one person in this world that I want more than I want you. 

"My God", he gasped, "you're fun to kiss"- F. Scott Fitzgerald

You don't find love, it finds you. It's got a little bit to do with destiny, fate and what's written in the stars.

When I tell you...I LOVE YOU, I don't do it out of habit or just to make conversation. I say it to remind you that you ARE the BEST THING that has ever happened to me. 

I wish I'd done everything on Earth with you- F. Scott Fitzgerald

It's easy to take off your clothes an have sex, people do it all the time, but opening up your soul to someone. Letting them into you spirit, thoughts, fears, future, hopes and dreams...that is truly being naked. 

Strong relationships require choosing to love each other even in those moments when you struggle to like each other. 

Love is a meeting of two souls, fully accepting the dark & the light within each other bound by the courage to grow through struggle into bliss. 

You should never have to look for evidence that someone loves you. True love is crystal clear. 


Love is meant to be an adventure!

He had the kind of eyes you could get lost in...and I guess I did. 

Love is not affectionate feeling but a steady wish for the loved person's ultimate good as far as it can be obtained. - CS Lewis

We are all a little weird and life's a little weird. When we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours wee join up with them and fall into mutual weirdness and call it love.- Dr. Seuss

Love is a drug, and we are all a junkie.
