Not too long ago (actually, just a week and a half ago), LoveL and I were riding along with our plans that our distance would be closed in August of this year when I move to him to go to school.
Well, while I was visiting him last week, I got an email from the person that was leading the project for a job I had this summer, and a grant fell through, so I no longer have that job, which means he and I will be closing the distance in 5 weeks tomorrow.
I'm excited. Excited doesn't even begin to describe it really. I'm ecstatic. I vibrate with anticipation just knowing that in a little over a month I'll fly to him and won't have to say goodbye again in a few days. I won't have to say goodbye again ever, really.
There are parts of me that are sad, of course, in that I only have a little over a month to say goodbye to everyone that I won't see again for a long time, and wrap up all the loose ends in a place I've lived in for most of my life. I'm not sad to leave this city (not at all) but the people in it. I won't miss my life here other than the fact that it's familiar, and thus, easy.
My life belongs down with LoveL so moving just feels so natural. And even though we only have 5 weeks to prepare for it, it doesn't feel rushed or strange. I worry about how I'll adjust being so far away from family, but I'll be there with him so I know it really won't be so bad.
If you closed the distance for any good chunk of time, how did you adjust? What were the best/hardest parts?
