Four Miles From Boring

About A Boy

Very rarely do I put something so personal out into the blogosphere, but I've come to realize new me = new rules. Plus, in this year of New Me I feel that it's best to keep with the New Year's Resolutions which include no longer hiding.

I am in love. I am in love with the most wonderful man. I am in love like they are in the movies. I am a changed person because of love. Exclamation point.

Love found me at work, and while many people may furrow the brow with that concerned "you-shouldn't-dip-your-pen-in-the-company-ink" look, I'll have you know that recent studies (done by "experts") find that a work-place romance is good! So, until the experts chance their minds, or until a glass of red wine or a piece of antioxident-laden chocolate is no longer good for me, I'm going with those findings.

And the most wonderful part of my new love, and therefore new life, is that it is easy. My new life is filled with passion that had been lacking. It's filled with laughter that never seems to end. It's filled with surprises and joy and inspiring conversations about everything that could last for days.

And while any great love is filled with complexities and layers, these things all fall into place so simply. Being where I am now is as simple as breathing. Nothing is forced and nothing is held back. It happens organically and completely and without effort.

The only thing we fought was the process of falling in love itself.

My Brian loves me...for me. And I love him for the man who he is...and for the man he is working to be. He is my reminder that it is ok to take risks and do things that scare us. He reminds me that the world is big, and that there are countless adventures to take. He is brilliant and funny and honest and caring and loving and passionate and truly good. He inspires, and helps conspire, and is a true and equal partner to me.

So, in true television fashion, I leave you with a tease. Brian and I have some big plans. We have big plans for our relationship. We have big plans for our lives. And we have big plans to continue loving each other without holding anything back. Stay with us.
