Please don't think I am being a downer here, but you have literally been seeing this guy about six months. He lives across the country, and you rarely get to see him. This does not seem like a wise move, and quite frankly, I am surprised. You aren't even past the honeymoon part of your relationship.
I'm going to have to second the second poster here. I am happy that you feel you have found The One. But, I do think you are moving too quickly. I've been following you blog for about two years and you've had a total of three boyfriends during that time, all of which you thought you were going to marry. You even had a wedding fund set up. I'm not saying not to marry him, but I'm saying you may be moving a bit fast.
Anon #1 - I'm assuming he is mormon, and if that's the case, then 6 months is normal. Things move very fast from meeting to marriage from what I've seen.
keith is moving to California because my job is more stable and we have the condo here as well.
I also won't be converting. His family respects my beliefs and me as I am... and Keith and I have talked about how much of the LDS faith he belives, how much he doesn't know about, and we are both comfortable and feel like we can agree to disagree on certain things and just be happy.
He likes the social workings of the church, the community, helping out one another, ect... but after that is a blank page for him.
I know its kind of fast... but i've known him for 11 years... and when you know... you just do...
Despite my past hopes of "finding the one" I always held reservations about my boyfriends of the past. Something didn't click... something felt off... and I wanted to be in a relationship so badly that i was willing to over look things in the hopes that they would change... I just wasn't so frank about them on this blog... I chose to defend them at the time because I was trying to convince myself... Thankfully I woke up and decided I deserved more.
and for once... I don't have reservations... i'm just happy...
Congratulations! (Please don't forget us and stop blogging about finances!)
