50 Days
I can't believe July is half over already!
These past few weeks have been rather surreal... living back at home with my parents, driving down to Indy every other weekend, looking for places to live. I'm still kind of in disbelief that this is all actually happening. I've wanted this for so long and now it's all so close. A while back I wrote about "100 days left..." and now that was 50 days ago!
I am still pinching myself that my boss now knows, I mean knows knows that I have a girlfriend. I haven't really blogged about that conversation yet...
I was hoping that I'd be able to keep my current position and just transition into working from home. It sounded almost too good to be true, but I thought there was a good possibility it could really happen. The thing that was kind of terrifying me was that in order to ask this of my boss, I would have to spell out the reason I was wanting/needing to move. And I didn't really know how she'd react, or feel about it.
Me: "so...I'm not sure if you know this, but I've been in a long distance relationship for a while now..."
She paused for a bit before answering: "I wasn't sure, I thought maybe... but I don't like to pry into personal business"
Me: "yeah, I keep work and personal stuff pretty separate..."
and then I quickly moved on: "So anyway, Katrina, you met her at the Christmas party, she is finishing up nursing school and has a job lined up in Indy, and I think this would be a good time for me to move down there..."
And she completely bowled me over by not only agreeing, but giving me an "absolute yes" and saying she was happy for me and she would work with whatever I needed and that "Katrina seems like a great girl".
"She is," I beamed.
I guess people will surprise you for the best sometimes, you just have to give them the opportunity.
So ever since then it's become a matter-of-fact with all of my co-workers that I'm moving to Indy soon to live with my girlfriend. No big deal. My boss even wants to have a "not-really-going-away" party before I go.
I feel... almost too lucky. What have I done to deserve so much happiness? I get to move to a cool city, live with the love of my life, keep my job and work from the comfort of my own home. It's not even happened yet and I already feel overwhelmed with happiness.
This is real.
This weekend we're going to scout out some possible houses!
