So, yesterday’s talk wasn’t as bad as I thought. My dad was a bit worried about my boyfriend’s tendency to get easily angered. And I reassured him that I’m in no danger. I didn’t quite say this, but I know his anger issues stem from some unresolved mental health issues. And he wants to get help, as soon as his health insurance kicks in. Anyway, after that heart-to-heart with my daddy (and another this morning), it seemed that everyone was in a more positive mood. (I also had a good talk with the boyfriend and he took the whole thing as an eye opener, dropping the grudge from earlier.)

Moving day, though it took longer than expected, went really well. We’ve probably got about 75% of our belongings here, including all of our necessities and furniture. The boyfriend will have everything moved in by Friday, and my hope is to have all of my belongings here (and my room at my dad’s house all cleaned) by the end of the month. I think my original unpacking goals are probably not going to happen, but that’s OK. Because we are SOOOOOO happy to be here. We really love this place. It already feels like OUR home, and though I think it’ll be surreal for a bit, this is a place we can see ourselves for awhile.

Finally, goal COMPLETE!
