    Rescues and pound pups are the best. 

    I'm really excited about the wedding. When I get nervous I think about dancing my ass off with my favorite people ever and that helps. The only thing I'm nervous about is weather and I can't control that, so it is what it is. 

    It's going to be a huge amount of change for me in a short period, so that comes with some nerves. Between moving, a new job, living together for the first time, and being away from my friends and family - the adjustment period will be hard and involve lots of wine and dog snuggles. FI is wonderful and promises to do all he can to make it as smooth as possible. 

    And you said it, there are no silly questions! What about you? Nervous?
    I'm in this same boat -- FI and I have been 2 hours long distance since day one, and I'm moving to his city. In the beginning, I had the better job and more family base in my city, and he offered to move here, but over the course of our relationship, circumstances have changed and it's become far more beneficial to our future to prioritize his job, which will lead to bigger and better opportunities in new places we both want to be. Monday's my last day at work, and Tuesday is the last BIG moving day before I'm out of my apartment. It's been SO weird and so hard to come to terms with the scary/exciting juxtaposition.

    @esstee33 I so understand! 

    We have been long distance the entire relationship too. My FI's job is more beneficial for us and our future plans as a couple, as well. I'm not currently working in my field, so it just makes sense to move to his hometown.

    I can't imagine how you feel, yet. I am not in love with my job, but I do dread leaving it. It's comfortable. You summed up how I feel when I think about it, scary and exciting. Hang in there, it'll all work out! 

    I find solace in knowing we will finally be together though and I know he's very appreciative of the sacrifices I am making.

    Yeah, he's over the moon that I'm moving and we're going to be in the same place finally and all the things that this means for our future, and he lets me know it on a regular basis. That definitely helps!

    How far are you moving? Do you have friends in your new city?

    That is quite impressive @esstee33 and @maeday2!  I can see how you ladies would feel such a juxtaposition!  Kudos to you!


    Thanks @maeday2!  It's a lot, but it's all right.  I haven't really had to think about my wedding lol, so maybe that actually is a good thing with my nerves.  I think spring semester ends in the middle of May, so I will have a nice month and at least a week to finalize everything. 

    Haha, yes mimosas sound like a great idea!  I will need a lot of deep breaths!  Luckily, my bridal party is awesome and I feel like they will help me be at ease, as much as possible.

    @esstee33 - I'll be around 8 hours away from my parents/sister and friends in east TN. The good part is I will only be about 5 hours from what I still consider "home" in south LA. Whereas now, it's almost a 10 hour drive to get there. I'll be in the almost middle of the two places that hold my heart the most.

    The only friends I've made in his hometown are his friends and their wives. There is one lady who also moved for her husband, one of FI's best friends, so she gets it. She's been a good support. 

    Keep me posted on how everything rolls out for you. I will live vicariously through your journey until I have to make that jump next year. By then you'll be seasoned enough to console me!
