obviously, it's been well over a month. i was really doing such a good job with keeping up with this, but i wasn't quite sure what to write and what not to write in something so public. now that legalities are squared away, i can say whatever i'd like :)
i am in love, absolutely and positively IN LOVE, with lonnie. we have worked through things 100% and i am standing by his side and our feelings for each other have only grown stronger. i've looked deep inside of myself, and i've learned the power of forgiveness and second chances and i am so grateful for that.
we have a really strong future together. we've been talking about what we want out of life, what we want in this relationship and i know that we are going to move quickly with our decisions. we want to get married, we've taken steps to get closer to that. we both want to move to a bigger city, and we've decided on boston, but that won't be for another couple of years. i need to work and he needs to work, we need to gain experience in both of our fields before we can even leave the state. eventually, we want to own our own spa and work together as a stylist and massage therapist. we want to have a family and a house, we definitely want to live on the ocean. we have the same dreams and aspirations and that feels SO good!
i left syracuse for two weeks and spent my time in nova scotia with my family. it really gave me time to step back and think things over and make sure i am making the right decisions, and i know that i am. i am very secure in my position as human, as a woman and as a girlfriend. lonnie is absolutely everything i want in a man, there is not one flaw i can find in him and our love grows and grows every single day. i've never enjoyed another person's company as much as i enjoy his, and i know he feels the same. and THAT is something quite incredible.
