“The traveler sees what he sees. The tourist sees what he has come to see.” ― G.K. Chesterton

Hi friends,

I have a lot to write, but once again I am using the excuse of lack of time. Work is insane, no time for anything, even though my co-worker has returned from her 3-month medical leave. I am trying to get a lot done to be able to go away for 5 days.

So, this is just quick hello and an update on how things are going with Michael. We have been together now a whole six months from the time we exchanged the first email.

Michael has been living with me for a whole month now.  It has been so easy.  No stress, no problems.  I imagined there would be some growing together pains, but there is none.  There is only bliss.  So much laughter is heard around in my home.

I think we are really being very open and receptive of each other.  I am learning how to go to bed early and he is learning to indulge a little more when it comes to food.  That is just the beginning… We plan on learning from each other and with each other, and becoming the best versions of ourselves.

Tomorrow night Michael and I are leaving to Iceland.  It will be a quick getaway.  I plan on not checking emails and not think about work at all.  It is only 5 days but I think this quick time away will do me wonders.

I am looking forward to traveling to some place neither of us has been to before.  It is our plan to see the world, so that in a few years we can decide where to retire.

I hope to take pictures and post them here along with some notes about my trip. I know I have made such promises before.

Got to run now… bags to pack.

Thank you for following along my dating journey, and for always providing me support and the kindest of words! You make my life better!

Blessings to all!
