I wish to be an obnoxious dick for a moment.

I am so fucking happy right now. I am so happy that I am actually getting scared, because surely this is too good to be true.

I really like my job. The environment is perfect, I get to do really interesting work that I enjoy immensely, and I feel valued and respected. Yeah, my boss is a control freak, but she's not so bad and I know how to go along to get along. I can walk to work and set my own hours. Soon I will be getting my very own office with a door and walls that go all the way up to the ceiling! (I currently share an office with the lab manager, whom I like quite a bit anyway)

I like my new city. I am currently sitting out on my balcony with a drink in perfect weather looking at a beautiful sunset above the glittering city lights. Yesterday I spent the morning hiking in the mountains that are 15 minutes from my apartment (yeah, vacation days).

I love living with my husband again. I was worried that the transition would be really rough, but aside from having to bite my tongue over a few extremely petty annoyances, it has been wonderful.

My husband has a decent job now. There might be some long hours in the future because someone else just quit, but it is a challenging job that he likes and it pays pretty well. In spite of the relatively poor job market here, he has had no shortage of interviews and offers because of his skill set and experience. It makes me proud.

We go grocery shopping together every Sunday, just like normal people!

In short, life is good. I know it won't always be this good, but damn if it isn't awesome right this minute.

Not obnoxious!! You have worked so unbelievably hard, you so deserve this, both of you!

[WOT?*]

Damn that's great to read. I hope life is this good for a very long time.

[bab]

You deserve this. I am so happy for you!

I love those little pockets of life where you are like "nobody move a muscle!! This is exactly perfect!!!!"

I'm having one of those too right now. Cheers to us!!!!

I am trying to soak it up and savor every moment.

Also, somewhat unrelated, I really want to learn Spanish. I feel like that would make things more interesting.

[cereal K]

all of that sounds so amazing! good for you guys!

I love this. Love it. You've been working toward this goal for so long. Isn't it nice to savor it a little?

Oh, i'll rub it on you all right.

It would be effing hilarious if your H was on the nest. He is so goddamn funny.

Yes! It is seriously a thrill to have routines now, and go to the store or out to eat whenever we feel like it. Planning the week WITH someone instead of by myself.

it's so great. our readjustment was relatively easy too, except for small stuff that had a lot to do with the fact that he moved "back" to our condo and i'd gotten used to living in it like it was mine.

i'm really happy to hear that your job is so great too; i know it was a leap. and that you've moved away from WND.

[eatsrainbows]

That is all so awesome!! So happy for you.

This is great, Doc!

I am 100% confident that I made the right decision.

Also, every time I see a car like wnd's I feel a little ill. I have post traumatic whore stress!

I am really happy for you, this is just wonderful
