As of last night, our plans to close the distance have officially been set into motion! I ordered the ticket February 20th, but my boyfriend and I have been waiting for a good time to let his parents know about our plans. So we have not really been able to officially plan anything or start going through the process of getting his belongs and all of that here until he sat his parents down and told them.
As some of you may know, my SO's parents and myself are not exactly on good terms. Due to some snooping on my SO's moms part, his parents found out that my SO and I have been sexually active and a few other things that made them extremely unhappy. Especially with me. Things have been better since my boyfriend got home from his last visit (which his mother was furious about), but I haven't spoken to either of his parents since January. So we weren't really sure how telling them that their son is moving almost 800 miles away to be with a girl they don't like, was going to go.
But it went surprisingly better than we imagined it would. His parents weren't pleased, but there weren't any screaming matches this time. Thank goodness! His parents gave him a lecture on how he was making a mistake, he is young and won't always want to be in a relationship with me, the glittery feeling will wear off.... All of the things that were to be expected. My boyfriend was honest with them and told them that he loves me, I love him, and after being best friends for over two years and in a relationship for almost a year and a half, and spending so much time together in person, that this is what we want for our relationship.
Although we are young, and we will both be newly 18 when he moves in, now is really as good a time as ever for him to move here. I have been renting a room in my brothers house for the last two months, and things have been going really well. There is more than enough space for another person to live in the house, and I feel I am supporting myself well enough finacially right now that I can support another person until he is able to get his GED and a good job here in Michigan.
It's going to be a process to get him here, but I am ready for this. I have been struggling with some depression over the last 6-8 months. Dealing with a lot of stress at work, and pushing through a long distance relationship, and some other things, and my mom told me a few weeks ago when I asked her what she thought of Matt moving in with me while we are so young... That she feels that it is what is best for both of us. She said that seeing my mood improve during his month long stay in December, and seeing how close Matt and I are, she thinks that him moving in will really benefit both of us. It will give us a chance to really and truly get to know each other, as well.
So on goes the countdown! 127 days. I won't deny that I am VERY nervous about him moving in. But I am also extremely excited. It's going to be a big change for us and our relationship, but we both feel that we are ready to take this step.
But anyways..... I just thought I would share what is happening in my LDR world.
Have a great day, everyone.
