39 Days

I have a mental countdown going. As of today, there are 39 days left until the young gentleman I adore will be done with a heinously horrifying work situation.

This will bring about many things that I am super excited about. First and foremost, after these next 39 days are over, the wheels will be in motion for a move. "Over the mountains he will run," and I will be waiting to greet him.

The moving and being done with this job situation will mean that we will get to spend time together doing things that we want to do. Over the course of our entire relationship, there have been a total of 7.5 days that we have spent together, not working at his job. They have been fantastic days, and I look forward to many more of them.

Many of the days spent working have been pretty decent too. I've gotten the chance to do a lot of things that I never in a million years expected to do. I've worked with gigantic draft horses, learned to harness them and drive them, and fed and taken care of wildlife. How many people in the world can say they patted and got drooled on by a mountain lion? Just in case you were wondering, the drool is all kinds of slimy...

I also look forward to him being able to meet all of my amazing friends. Jess had the pleasure of his company one day a couple of weeks ago, but he has yet to meet the infamous Al. I have my fingers crossed that they hit it off and enjoy each other's company. Only time will tell though...

Time has played a big part in this whole situation. Ten years ago I met this young man. For ten years I wondered and wished and hoped that he returned my feelings. I worried that it was a juvenile infatuation and that my inner 17-year-old was just taking over. Well, those fears were unfounded and I have the answer to my question. He does return my feelings, and my 17-year-old self was spot on. I've found my other half and I am beyond thankful that our time has finally come about.
