Early in the process...CA to Notts
« on: May 31, 2010, 11:47:51 PM »
Call me passive, a poacher, or gosh forbid a voyeur - but after checking in regularly I finally signed up! BF is in Notts, I'm in SoCal (ya know...about the same climate, right ::) ). Met in San Diego while he was on a work trip last year and things are progressing brilliantly. He just left after a visit, so I'm in that post-visit funk. Next visit is me there in July. In both of our minds I'll be moved there in the next year. But some of the littlest things are making me have these realizations of how different life will be. So thank you fellow post-ers for making me not feel so alone!

I look forward to sharing more, receiving more advice or fed-ex-ing In n Out to those that need it ;)
