Holy S—t
Holy shit. Peter just told me he loves me. Well, he e-mailed it. But, same thing. OMG. HE TOLD ME HE LOVES ME!!!!!!
I love that boy. I absolutely love him. And, I know it’s too soon to be saying such things. But, I do. We’ve known each other for two years now. So, we’re not rushing it, right? I love him. I love everything about him. But, HE actually said I LOVE YOU FIRST. How most unexpected and against character. I love him. I’m going to tell him. I’m going to tell him tonight. I won’t respond to the e-mail. I’m going to just let the e-mail go for now so as not to make a big deal about it. And then, tonight, casually over dinner, I’m simply going to look at him across the table and say “I love you.” Or, should I wait until we’re lying next to each other in bed? Should I say it then? I’m a grown woman. I’m thirty years old. I sound like I’ve never been in this position before. But, I haven’t. I’ve never been this absolutely mad in love before. OK, maybe when I was twenty-four years old, but not since. I love him. I’m going to tell him tonight. Over dinner. Not in bed. And, not casually. I’m going to make a big deal about it so he knows that I feel exactly the same way. Wow. I’m in love, in love, in love with that boy. Over the moon …

Re: Holy S—t
This must be the week for love. How about this one from my latest suitor on Match (cut and pasted below for your viewing pleasure)? Doesn’t it make you hungry for spaghetti or something? Bleah.
Oh, and no one’s responded to your e-mail asking for advice on how to tell Peter you love him because you went and changed your “relationship” status on Facebook so fast no one had to e-mail you back with advice. Changing relationship status = telling Peter you love him.
Oh, and then you went and announced it on Twitter, too. ;-)
Annette,
I have been in the office since early morning and need a break, perfect time to drop you a line. Are you from up north, a NY Yankee fan or both? I’m both but I’ve been here for almost eleven years. I have a great life but I’m not a rocket scientist, if you are, that won’t intimidate me. Maybe you can teach me to float in space and I’ll teach you to make sauce.

Sigh …
My Love,
I just wanted to put this in writing so it’s forever documented. I am absolutely, madly, head over heels in love with you. I think you are perfect. You’re also perfect FOR ME. I want you to know that the past month has meant so much to me. I’ve cherished every single moment. And, I look forward to next month and the month after that and so on and so forth ad infinitum. I’m so glad we waited over two years to do this, because now we’re ready for something truly special. Let’s NOT screw this up. ;-) Let’s vow that this relationship is our NUMBER ONE priority, above all else. And, that we’re always honest with each other. Let’s never let anything go unsaid. I love you.
Stay in tonight and celebrate how great we are together?
—Your Love

New Lease
Hey Baby,
So, I talked to someone in the leasing office this morning, and they said a two bedroom will be available for us to move into in about two weeks. We can see it tonight after work, if we have time. It’s a spacious two bedroom, two bath (one of the baths has a Jacuzzi tub so we’re set ;-)), a large living room, and a balcony that overlooks the park. Rent is $1,700 so that’s $850 a month each. Great idea on your part.
Love,
Me

Movers
My Love,
I booked the movers for April 26th. I told them we’re moving two apartments into one bigger apartment in the same complex, and they said it should take three hours tops. We can pack everything ourselves this weekend to save some money. Let’s have fun with it—bottle of wine (Malbec?), some good takeout, pack some boxes, fool around a little ON the boxes, etc., etc., and so forth.
I am SO excited!!! BRILLIANT idea. There was NO reason for us to be spending DOUBLE rent when we basically live with each other anyway! And, besides, we’re ready. We know that.
So, how about La Rez for drinks tonight? Let’s go to the gym (so we don’t feel guilty about eating our brains out afterwards) and then head over. Sound like a plan?
God, I’m happy.
—Your Love

I know What You’re Going To Say …
Mums,
I know what you’re going to say. Let me preempt it by saying you may object, but oh well, I’m doing it anyway. Peter and I have decided to move in together. Of course, on the surface it would appear too soon for that as we’ve only been dating a month. However, he is one of my best friends in the world, and we’ve known each other for two years … thus, it wouldn’t seem like we’re rushing into it after all. I’m just crazy about the boy. He is The One. Anyway, we move into our new apartment on April 26th. Same address, just new apartment number, 312, so make note.
I’ll call tonight. Promise. I know I’ve been MIA and haven’t been calling as much as usual but I’ve been busy FALLING IN LOVE!!!!!
Love you!

Young Love
Izabell,
Mom and I really enjoyed talking to you last night. I think it’s great that you and Peter are in love. Young love … I remember it well. In fact, I’m still in love with your mother believe it or not haha (and I like to think I’m still young ;-). Just remember that no one ever went from 0 to 100 without getting a little whiplash. Anyway, I’m going to the gym so I can work up the energy to do your mom’s “honey-do list” for the rest of the weekend. That’s married life for better or for worse.

Hey Baby,
I picked Thea up from doggy day care, dropped off the dry cleaning, picked up dinner, and got a movie for tonight. Oh, and I got some more nicotine gum. Can’t believe I haven’t smoked since I quit. I must really love you.
In other news, my parents are coming to visit next month. They’re very excited to meet you. Very.

Anyone have any advice on “meeting the parents”? Peter’s parentals are visiting next month and are “very excited” to meet me. What does that mean? Does that mean he’s told them a lot about me? Freak-out commenced as of … now.
