Once he was off the plane and in my arms, I thought to myself, what was all that about? I really felt like we had just seen each other, which was a huge relief. I know there are many that go months or a year without seeing their SOs, but 5 months was the longest we'd ever been apart and it was agony! We only were able to spend less than 24hrs together, but it was plenty of time to reconnect. Actually, 5 minutes was all it took and we were just as we were in April.
Our plans to spend the night in NYC were foiled due to the UN General Assembly. So we took the train into the city on Tuesday and headed to the spa for the morning. It was a nice little treat for us both.
Good results on the visit. We had planned to NOT talk at all about plans for future and just focus on reconnecting, but somehow it all came up, and not by me for a change! We decided that yes, 5 months is too long for us and we were going to make, or HE is going to make a little more commitments of his time.
We decided that I would be visiting the UK in October for a long weekend. The last two weeks of November we are planning a holiday and then I'll return to the UK for Christmas. At that point, if I still have no job offers, we are going to make the decision on moving forward.
Our plan...I get my bonus in March, so I'll be staying at my job at least until then. I'd like to stay until May since that's the end of the Spring busy season. Then I'm going to take a leave of absence for at least a month, max two, and we are going to give it all a go with me in the UK and not working - YIKES! If that all works out, we'll make things official.
It's all very scary and exciting. I'm just very happy that we were able to reconnect and really remember how much we love each other and why we love each other. This short visit was so important. It was proof that we are meant to be. We both feel such a sense of peace and happiness when we are together.
When I said good-by to him at the airport I was such a BIG girl. There was NO tears, which is a first! Not because I wasn't going to miss him, but because I know that we are going to be together again soon and that makes me very, very happy.
