As the title might suggest, the Date is set and we are ready to pack up our 1 bedroom dungeon 70 miles away from our jobs and move into a nice town home 7 MILES from work. It is going to be great to get all that time back in our days, over 10 hours a week, I guess that means I will start having to workout again… but this move signifies so much beyond the general upgrade in our daily lives, it is the start to the final chapter of this blog. There will still be entries to come, but the final post is growing ever closer.

What we both wanted was security before taking that next step, not so much in our feelings, but in where we were financially, and also professionally. That may sound super unromantic and boring, but that is because it is. This blog is written by a real guy for a real girl. Two people who stress about bills, how much they snack at night, and who will call the pizza guy (me, it is always me). We have a fairy-tale love, and it does not need a fairy-tale proposal or  risky, ill-thought-out  romantic gesture (See any TV show/movie ever).

So our boring, unromantic plan of stability and security might be uninspired, but it will provide the basis for an unstoppable couple in a strong and committed relationship, and that might be just the most romantic thing ever. Being willing to sacrifice pomp and frills for what matters; depth, devotion, and unwavering passion.

So this weekend when we carry in the furniture and start to unpack the boxes, we are setting the scene for the place I will share with my fiancé.
