In 19 days we will be on the road to bring me, my 6 dogs and my 2000 (exaggeration) pairs of shoes HOME to Colorado and Laura. How grateful I am for this place that brought her to me. For our friends here on The Cage that were supportive and cheered us on, THANK YOU!
We are currently in the final planning stages of the move. Plane ticket & rental car to be booked. Pod ordered. Going through 3 storage units to figure out what to bring, as some of my stuff is mixed into the stuff that belongs to my soon to be former employer. She's making space in her home to accommodate the influx of my crap and furkids. It's happening fast, but we are taking time for love, always love. It always amazes me how easily we compromise, even with strong opinions, we find the place that brings us both joy. I'm sure in the end it will be a whirlwind of activity as that is what happens when you bring two procrastinators together... it might not be pretty, but we will get it done!
I had a moment of panic... knowing that I'm leaving and likely won't get to say goodbye to hardly anyone. Although Georgia is "open", my friends are being very cautious. I respect that... but oh how I want to hug them tight and thank them for being the very best friends in the world. I didn't really think I would care, but turns out I do. I care about not seeing their kids grow up. I care about not saving animals with them anymore. I care that we are still in a very uncertain time and what tomorrow might bring. I'm leaving behind 2 of my super senior dogs with my ex, so I might not ever see them alive again. I vacillate between deliriously happy and deep sadness. She supports me and instead of getting defensive, and saying things like "Well you don't have to come", she instead says "It's ok to be sad, it's a big change." It's such a revelation to be loved as such, and she's taught me what love actually should look like.... and it's beautiful.
And though this is another post about finding the love of my life..... I feel as though I should add...There will be lots of kinky fuckery... I mean LOTS! I've never been a full time Top/Dominant. Our evolution is organic and we are both learning so much. I'm looking forward to always learning and going forward, and becoming the best Dominant for her. I strongly believe that we should never stop learning and growing, and I would definitely call myself a novice Dom, despite being in the lifestyle for nearly 20 years.... but the bulk of those years I was a submissive/slave. Hopefully post Corona, I will be able to search out learning opportunities that will enhance our dynamic.
Well, there you have it... our plan is made. We hope to chronicle our crazy 2 day trip 1200 miles across the states with 6 dogs (3-15 year olds, 2-11 years olds and a 6 year old) here on our blogs. I'm sure it will be hilarious and I wonder if we will make it more than 20 minutes at a time for potty breaks... LOL. Thank you again for your love and support! There are several of you that have listened to me waxing poetic about my love for her, long before she was ready to accept it and I certainly do appreciate you!
19 days y'all... and even less, until she's in my arms!
