Despite a broken rib, I had an incredible weekend in Seattle with my boyfriend. He just continues to amaze me. I feel so much inside it seems sometimes it's pushing at the walls of my skin trying to get out. How can one person hold all this happiness just for themselves?

We stayed in my favorite hotel, (the 'Alexis' ) which is a 5 star hotel in downtown Seattle. I've always adored that city, and to my very happy surprise, so does he, so we're moving this summer up to Seattle!

I haven't told anyone except a few close friends yet, (not even my family, though he told his,) but I am very excited. I feel like my life is starting over, like I am somehow getting a second chance at happiness. His friend Jake is moving with us. We're looking at getting a rental house, since we're all musicians, we thought it best rather than an apartment where people might complain about the noise, er, I mean 'music'.

My relationship is now at a point where it is first priority in my life. Before my job, before my friends, before my family, there is him. It's been a long time since I felt that kind of connection with someone. I never thought I could think in terms of forever again, or that I could dream someone else's dream and it would somehow become just as much my own. Now that it is happening, I don't know how I survived, day to day, without it.
