Amanda will be moving up here in about a week, so it's time I give my thoughts
on it. All I can say first off is that
it's about time. We've been in a long
distance relationship for four years, and it's about time something
happened. We love each other and we had
to see what a regular relationship would be like between us.
The reason she's moving up here and not me moving down there... well there are a few of them. One, she is more financially able to do the move. She makes more money per hour than I do. Two, we agreed that Washington is a much better place to live than California. Washington's weather is calmer, the people are nicer, and traffic isn't quite as bad (usually). Also, Amanda is more comfortable here than when I am in California.
The move will hopefully happen smoothly. We will be driving a Pennske truck all the way up I-5 North, about 750 miles worth. We'll stop in Oregon for one night so we don't put too much strain on ourselves or the truck. All the while we will be towing her car behind us so she can have it up here. We've done a long driving trip before, when we drove from the Bay Area all the way to Los Angeles/Anaheim. This is certainly going to be a taxing trip on both of us, but we both know that in the end, it's worth it.
This is something that I've wanted to have happen for a long time. I've never even really been in a normal non-long distance relationship. It will probably take some getting used to and I can't wait for Amanda to adjust to life here and start at our store and make new friends. I truly feel she will love Washington. We will of course visit her family whenever we can, perhaps for the Christmas season later this year.
I can't wait for this to happen, but more importantly, I can't wait for the move and everything to be over. I can't wait until Amanda' s transfer has fully gone through and she has a job here, and I can't wait until she finds a place that fits her, and I can't wait until she possibly gets a new car. I will do my best to help her out with each of those. There will be an adjustment period for us, but we've always adjusted well to new situations.
I know she's a bit anxious for the move, but to be honest, so am I. There's a lot of things I'm worried about for her. I still feel like there are many things that could go wrong. That's just me though. I'm a worry-wart. I know in the end, even if things go wrong, that it will be all right in the end. Now let's get this move started! I'm tired of waiting.
