My Mister Man
LB has been hired to go on tour with me in October! I am in shock actually because it has all happened so fast.
Two weeks ago I found out that one of our team members on the tour had bailed. Our tour leader sent out an email imploring us to send forth anybody we might know who would be a) qualified to facilitate a drama workshop of their own devising and b) available to be on tour for all of October and November. Of course I thought of my wonderful man who had yet to secure a Christmas contract. When I told him about it he answered the way he always answers...with a resounding "YES!"
So we whipped up a kick ass proposal, he was interviewed and this morning he was offered the job. For weeks now we have been freaked out at the thought of going from spending 24/7 together to very abruptly spending two entire months apart. Seems now we will not need to experience that at all and will, instead, continue to live as though we were attached at the hip. Hoorah for that, I say. I have never been so in love with a hip before in my whole life.
It is amazing to me that I have met the man, after so many men that have come before, that I can easily and happily spend the rest of my life with. I have found my "one" - as much as I hate that word - and with that find comes all that freedom from doubt that I had heard of before. And to imagine he feels that same way I do!! It is a type of heaven. He has proven how much he wants this with everything that he has done to fight to keep us together. He never seems to crave cigarettes anymore and in the last five weeks, he has had a total of three beer. Not that he doesn't give me plenty of challenges to live up to as well. But we make each other want to be better people and we bring out the very best in each other. I know - cliche, cliche, cliche - but it is true.
To think I used to cling to a man who only stayed with me out of duty. To think I used to say that I never wanted to get married or have kids. To think that all those people were right about me all along. They told me so. And I didn't believe them. But then again, I hadn't met LB.
I have always had good luck with men.
But LB...ah, now HE is a miracle.
