It's been a month

It's been a month since my last update. That seems like almost forever ago because a good amount has happened. I officially decided to move in with J, after internet searching on rent.com we went to one place decided we liked it and started signing the lease. Moving in starts on August 1st because they gave us August free, so I have over a month to move everything over. It has a small pool, the apartment has a balcony, more space then my old one and a bigger kitchen, plus it will be cheaper then the non-promotion cost of my old apartment. Plus I get to live with J's cat :) Finally a kitty!

Part of me feels like it's happening so fast and the other part of me can't wait. I think it mostly worries me that it seems to good to be true but also is another thing that ties me here. When I took this job and moved to Foxboro I really thought it would be temporary and I would be growing as a single person. I could move whenever, find a job across the country, mainly make decisions without having to ask someone about it. Moving in with J and getting more serious does change that. But a lot of things have changed that as well. One I have a good job right now, why would I risk it? Two I'm never really going to move too far from the area because I like it and I have friends/family here. Three this is a good area if I do want to find a job somewhere different.

I don't think I felt this excited when moving in with Peter, maybe because it was such a slow process because I was mostly living with him the year before or just because it felt like a last resort and I was going to be stuck. I think I always new it was temporary, once I graduated that was going to be it. It just feels so good to want to do this and have him be really excited as well. Peter was always more ambivalent to the whole thing, where J tells me how excited he is and shares what he is planning.
