New Year, new me, new he

So, this month has already been completely crazy for me. I was assigned to two new accounts (taking my total up to seven, if anyone is counting) and I'm now supervising four accounts instead of two. So, needless to say, there has been a huge adjustment for me at work.

Then, there's.... him. The guy that I met over Christmas, when I was home in Dayton visiting my family. We met through a mutual friend and he is simply fantastic. It's been a whirlwind. I have only known him for three weeks, but I feel like I've known him all my life. Despite the fact that he lives 2,000 miles away - or maybe, in spite of that fact - we're working it out.

I tend to be excited about a new romance, freak out a little, find something wrong with it and then drop it like a box of hot rocks in a fairly impressive time frame. With him, I'm just excited. There is no, "He's great, but..." Even the fact that he lives in Las Vegas and I live in Cincinnati doesn't deter me from having a relationship with him. In fact, I think it is something that is incredibly good for us, because we get to concentrate on all these other aspects of our relationship before we take it to the next level.

Usually, I post my blogs in the evening when I get home from work, but lately I've only had a couple of hours to do the laundry, clean the house, make dinner, etc. before I settle in for my nightly, hours-long call with him. We can talk for hours and hours on end and not get bored, not run out of things to day and at the end of the conversation, even though we've been on the phone for a couple of hours, I'm still sad to hang up. So, if I'm a little bit lame with the posting, that is part of the reason. (Although, I did just figure out how to do it from work, so that is great news!)

The other great thing about this new relationship is the fact that I feel like we are totally and completely on the same page. It's refreshing to know that we're not going to freak one another out when we talk "us" or "we" or any of that. It feels like it is all moving so quickly, but at the same time, I'm embracing it fully. It might be quick, but it's the right pace for us.

Even my friends have noticed the change in my demeanor. They noticed it within the first conversation that I had about them, when I'd just met him but instinctively felt there would be more to him than just one date and an occasional call.

Seriously, is this happening to me?
