A Landmark in a Foreign Land
So today I am officially Mountain's longest standing relationship. Yesterday (the 24th) was the nine month 'anniversary' of our first getting together, and amazingly he has had two relationships end on that same day, so we decided to wait until the day after to celebrate (that and the restaurant we wanted to eat at is closed on mondays).
We would still have a few years to go yet to 'beat' my longest primary relationship, but it means a lot to me that it makes him happy. Plus, being a contrary girl, the best way to see me stick around, logically, is to ask me *not* to commit - which is precisely what my mountain man did. I certainly have no intention of going anywhere anytime soon.
It's hard to believe how quickly it's gone, especially the last couple of months. We've been in canada since the 24th of January, and the time has flown past. It's been a rollercoaster at times. Sometimes ecstatic, occasionally miserable, but we've very much been a team through it all. I'm certain there will be plenty more to deal with along the way, including finding housing and jobs when we get back to the City, but having got this far I'm feeling less worried about what's to come.
We're leaving the snow resort at the end of the week, and then plan on touring around friends and relatives until we leave in mid May. It's a long time away, still, but I'm certain it will fly away even faster than our time here has.
I'm looking forward to heading back to the City with a mixture of excitement and trepidation. I've been missing my friends, missing the city lifestyle, missing having my own space, and places to go when I feel like getting away. On the other hand, I've been enjoying the lack of pollution and mess, the freedom to set my own hours, and obviously the ski resort aspect of the place. I'm also not looking forward to looking for a job again. Dealing with the as-and-when of wanting to see my occasional loves again, and maybe Nice Guy, and/or maybe other people will be a new challenge as well, as I've definitely been off the market since we've been out here, for the sake of avoiding complication. This means there's been nobody else on the scene, really, since I accepted Mountain as Primary Partner at New Year.
Ah well, I shall cross that bridge once we've sailed over the ocean in between here and there!
