Not even "Murphy"

"Have no fear of moving into the unknown.  Simply step out fearlessly knowing that I am with you; therefore, no harm can befall you - all is very, very well.  Do this in complete faith and confidence."

Pope John Paul II

Over the past couple of weeks, Mr. Wonderful and I have been in daily conversation about the steps for him to take to begin getting ready to move to the great state of Alabama.

Yes, he's moving down here to be with me... but he's also moving down here to be with his "second family" - the guys who have been there for him through thick and thin the past few years of his life, even though he's been thousands of miles away from them.

He's starting a new chapter.

WE are starting a new chapter.  Together.

And we have all the confidence in the world that things will happen the way that they are supposed to - provided that the few bumps in the road the "Murphy" throws our way are few and far between and not of too severe of consequence.

You are all familiar with "Murphy," right??

As in... Murphy's Law... "Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong."

"Murphy" sometimes likes to follow Mr. Wonderful (and I guess all of us in some way or another, at some point or another), but we're determined that we will take every step we can possibly think of to try and avoid "Murphy" to the best of our ability.

...it'll never happen, right?

Not completely, at least.

But we're aware of that, and we're prepared for things to go wrong.

That's part of the beauty in knowing that you sometimes "can't win for losing."

This time, though?  This time we're neither one losing.  We're gaining each other, and we're gaining progress in the steps towards finally being together... in the same state... for more than week at a time.

I couldn't be more ecstatic about something... at least not right now.  :)

Today, Mr. Wonderful started by taking some financial steps, which were huge in this progression.  And he's even possibly moving out of his apartment this coming weekend to save even more money... we fear "Murphy" to a certain degree, but you know what?

We're so excited, and things feel so right... not even "Murphy" can stand in the way.
