Wow, that is some fantastic news! I'm excited to hear about your job - and OMG, engagement! Congratulations? I'm afraid I can't give you any advice since I've got no experience whatsoever with marriages... But I hope everything will work out well for you ♥
On the marriage question... how did you know things would work out?
I don't think you ever know but you have to have faith in the fact that you love each other and will work to make your marriage a happy one. It is work -- no question about it. There are times when you will want to pull your hair out but, in the long run, it is more than worth it. Every day is another adventure. My adventure has gone on for 24 1/2 years. Will be married 25 years in May.
And I think you're right. I don't know what's wrong with me. When I'm away from M, my brain goes into overdrive and I start thinking about all the things that could go wrong and I make myself sick. I need to just stop overthinking it and enjoy my engagement.
...Now I just need to figure out how to do that. Le sigh.
Big news. Congratulations! I'm very happy for you (and welcome back). Relationships take a lot of work (not a secret). No ones knows what the future will bring, even those people who love to plan (*looking around*). The biggest thing you need to decide is if it's worth the work.
Congratulations! ::hugs tightly:: So this is why you might be moving!
I am so, so happy for you. As for that What if, ten years down the road, one of us comes home and realizes: "Wow. I can't stand to be around this person another second. See ya'!", then you'll have had 10 years of possible happiness. On the other hand, that bit might never come, and you'll have umpteen years of ups and downs with mostly ups. Ask yourself this: do you want to spend the rest of your life without him?

You're right, we can never know what will happen. But I love him and I miss him when he's not with me. So I think it's worth the work and the risk.
It's funny how I feel instantly more calm about the whole thing after saying that. =)
Anyway, I've been meaning to respond to you on fb. I've just been so out of it lately with the move, the new job, and the wedding. *headdesk*

::hugs:: So when do we get to meet him?
