All I Want For Christmas

I was really looking forward to spending my Christmas and New Years with my guy.  I wanted an opportunity to just “be” with him.  You know, without all the hype, vacation stuff, big plans, etc.  I want to see what it would be like to greet him when he comes home from work, cook a nice dinner and just enjoy it. Spend some time talking about all the things we don’t waste time on the phone with…the little intimate details of our personalities and lives; the stories about our pasts; about our families; about our biggest disappointments and successes…the things that make us who we are.

Turns out he had to go home to his parents for his dad’s surgery. Not sure when he’ll be back to his place.  This is both good and bad. First the bad:

It seems like every time we plan something, it goes south and life just gets in the way.  Not trying to be pessimistic about it or anything, but really?  This is like the 5th time life has gotten in the way, so if I tend to be a bit snarky about it, I think you can understand why.

Now the good:

I did receive an offer to their family home for Christmas, along with an offer to pay for the difference in my ticket change.  His parents and his brothers will be there. Wow…if a guy invites you to meet his parents and his siblings, you have to mean something to him…otherwise, he’d have every excuse in the book to avoid you meeting them.  So I’m flattered about that. If there was any question about what I mean to him, it’s been answered. Although I didn’t have any, I know my peeps did.

Someone made a comment that I shouldn’t be having a relationship with my iPhone…that I need a flesh and blood man within my proximity.  The funny thing is…I’m getting more action with my iPhone relationship than they are with their marriage and living in the same house as their husband.  So far, I’m doing pretty well and I like the way things are…with just a little more interaction.  That’s not to say that if the opportunity presents itself, we won’t find a way to be in closer proximity.  I think I can safely say that we both want that.

We've talked about moving in together and our future. We've talked about our obstacles, challenges...etc. Ah well..
