I'm So Excited

This has been a great week for Mike and I. He asked me to move in with him and I said yes! I'm moving at the end of this month. We spend so much time together already, and I can't wait to be in the same house with him. He keeps bringing up the "m" word, but I'm not ready for that, and quite frankly, I don't think he is either. My divorce isn't final yet and he's only been divorced since September. I'm so happy and lucky to have him.

He is a complete 180 from the kind of guy I usually date. He treats me like a queen. He always tells me how beautiful I am and how much he loves having me in his life. Yes, he's even said those, three words, "I love you." I was a little skeptical of hearing it because it is so unlike my previous relationship. I told him that it freaked me out, especially when he said it while we were making love. But, when he kept saying it, outside of the bedroom, then I got used to it.

He just goes above and beyond what I have ever had. I told him that I'm not used to being taken care of and that's what he does. He had to sit me down and say, "Listen, I'm not going anywhere. I'm never going to hit you and while I can't promise we won't fight, because we will, I don't ever want to lose you." What?? I'm was blown away. An adult relationship where I can feel free to talk and not be in fear of being beat? This is what I've been waiting for!

So, when he asked me to move in with him, I said yes. I enjoyed being a wife, when things were good, and while those days were few and far between (he couldn't fit me in while he was cheating and doing drugs!) I want that again. I told Mike to expect a lot from me because I enjoy cooking and cleaning, doing laundry, etc. Plus he works 14-16 hour days and why should he have to come home and do those things?

Finally, my life seems to be going in the right direction. God really does answer your prayers when you're patient.
