Because the third entry in a day is a charm...
This is just the update.
I am here in Darien, Connecticut, finding my way around. New job, new life, new IKEA furniture assembling skills! (I heart IKEA and their wordless instructions.)
Jarod is far away, but we talk every night. He wants to give me everything.
I just might let him.
Love is strange. It is unexpected. It is confusing as all get-out. I question my own wisdom in the matter, but I think I'll be okay.
He told me he loved me for the first time just before I left. It was sweet and soft and true. He cried when he held me at home, then again at the airport, and I felt bad for leaving.
But I do love it here. I ran last night along the water, and it was so beautiful. There were others out walking and running and bicycling, a few folks at the town beach. The shade of the big, old trees was everywhere around me, and I felt finally that I was getting a grip on life here. (As if I should have a good grip after just three days.) I am determined to enjoy my time here. He is waiting for me, he is coming to see me as soon as he can, and I think we can make it through. We are good together, so I hope we will make it through.
