I have an amazing boyfriend. We've only been dating for 6 months but I am very much in like (no L bomb yet) with him. Tonight, I'm making lasagna with garlic bread and a new red wine for dinner...as I write this I'm realizing that I didn't put any wine in the sauce, bummer...and I am so excited to see him! I love that feeling, of wanting to see someone, of the anticipation of the hug and kiss and the time together, but the comfort of being with someone and knowing that if he wants to sit on the couch and work (which he will) and I want to read in my sweats (which I will, loving "Julie & Julia" right now) we can and still be connected and "together" and happy.

New relationships are great, a girlfriend and I were talking about that yesterday. But, for me at least, the best is when you are comfortable and easy and happy with someone. Its the best when I can have my hair up, sweats on, no make-up and still feel desired and cute and beautiful, at least in his eyes. Beyond all this, its nice to be at a point where we can talk, about anything and nothing, and still enjoy being together, and more so, want to be together.

One last note on my fantastic man...he spends time with my family and actually engages them in conversation. I don't have to worry about leaving him alone with them (a group which can be very very overwhelming, even to me). Not sure where this will go...but I'm so happy now. Much happier than I thought I could be just one year ago (more on that some other time.)
