After 5 months of dating, the bf and I are about to sign a lease on a place of our own. Something in me is forcing myself to not get excited until we actually sign the lease and it's official but this is a whole new chapter of my life that I cannot wait to start.
I have been living on my own for four years now, I guess being the ultimate bachelorette. It has been a very lonely, unhappy four years. This man who blew in to my life completely unexpectedly makes me happier than I have ever been and all I want to do is make a life with him. Literally, not physically... well at least not yet. Babies are hopefully, years away.
In the upcoming weeks I will be packing up my apartment and getting ready to become a couple that lives together. And while the concept is scaring the shit out of me, it's also making me more excited than a kid on Christmas morning. Sure we'll disagree, I know it won't always be sunshine and rainbows, but this feels right.
I have fallen head over heels for this man and unlike all the other guys I have spent time with, he takes care of me and treats me right. He takes my car to get it washed while I'm at work, he always holds my coat for me so I can put it on, holds open doors, carries the shopping bags. He's a real man who knows how to treat me and I am so thankful that he is in my life and I look forward to growing old with him.
A lot can change in 12 months, huh? I'm entering in to 2010 a completely different person than this time last year.
Happy holidays and here's to hoping that 2010 brings nothing but joy for all of us.

I cannot express how happy I am for you! You deserve to be happy and to have such a wonderful man in your life. I hope your first Christmas together is full of laughter and love. I know you will find the perfect apartment to start your new life in together... Merry Christmas, Sue! :)
Em - I'll make it facebook official once the lease is signed, BUT we're heading up on Monday night to sign one for the Victorian apartment. I'm scared it'll be rough for me (I didn't do well with roommates in college and I've been on my own for four years) but the place is big enough we won't be on top of each other all the time. I know there will be adjustments to make but overall I know it's a good thing and the perfect way to kick off 2010.
I just realized that you keep using the tag of "potential boy". Don't you think he's actually "the boy" at this point?
True, though I guess now he's moved from the "potential boy" to "potential husband".
