It has been 10 blissful months with the love of my life, the Comedian. I might get a little sappy in this post but I promise I have a point. We are taking that next big step, moving in together. On Sunday, we picked up the keys to our apartment where the lease has both of our names. I believe any step taken with another person does require thought and consideration, however, sometimes you just know it's right. On Saturday night, we were at his cousin's house for a birthday party. The Comedian mentioned to me that he was talking to his cousin regarding our new move. He said, "This is a big step, are you ready?" The Comedian didn't hesitate (in my head this is how the story went), he said,"When you know it's the right person, it isn't so big. It's just the way its supposed to be." Granted, I did do cartwheels in the back of my head when I heard this response but it was very true. Sometimes we put emphasis on things that might seem like they are supposed to be complicated but what I've learned through this relationship that every move we've made, has just been the right one. We live in a world of reality TV and dramas, so we expect our lives to be one but it doesn't have to be.

I remember having a conversation with a friend before dating The Comedian and he said, "When you know, you know". It is so true. Something about feeling at ease when you're with someone is the most peaceful feeling that I have experienced thus far. In my past relationships, I would worry, do I need to babysit him? Do I need to hold his hand around my friends? Do I need to take care of everything? The Comedian has shown me what its like to be treated the way a woman is supposed to be treated.

Don't ever settle for making excuses for your significant other. I have been guilty of that as well. They are supposed to be your partner. In my case, my partner in peace ;-).
