I should have written something earlier, but this weekend has been so full. Research on Friday, and a trip to Argonne on Saturday, and schoolwork today. But before I go to bed, I have to tell you about the significance of this weekend.

It was the second anniversary of my having met [livejournal.com profile] danaeris. Somewhat more than two years ago, I'd moved to Chicago on my own after the end of a long-term relationship and decided that I was pretty content to be on my own for a while. That relationships were a very pleasant thing, but I was going to enjoy living really on my own for the first time in my life. And that was going really well, and I was happy.

Then, to my surprise, I met a wonderful woman at a relaxacon who I began dating. I had no real expectations other than getting to know someone really neat and seeing where our gradually developing relationship went.

As it turns out, it went to a very good place. In the past couple of years of shared laughter, tears, and conversation, I've found that she's someone I want to be in my life for a long time. We each have our own path; she in grad school in Chicago, and I in my undergrad program in Kenosha and who knows where from there. But it makes me very happy that those paths meet so well and so often. I believe they will continue to do so long into the future.

Happy anniversary kitty. I love you.
