SIX MONTHS! SIX MONTHS!

OK…..I know that six months doesn’t seem like that big of a deal to some people, but it’s the longest relationship that I’ve ever had. EVER. Actually, our six month anniversary is tomorrow! Yeah! Eli told me that he had something planned out for us, but it might have just been ruined because my mom wants me to go see me grandma tomorrow, all day. I love my grandma to death, but I’m supposed to be celebrating! I don’t know………ugh….

Actually, I’m not in a very bad mood. Over the past couple of days I’ve felt great! I really don’t know why, between my classes and work I’ve been so busy that I’ve hardly had time to eat! I found out that it’s really working, yeaterday a few of my friends and my sister told me that I was losing weight, but I’m not sure how. I’m not gonna complain though! I actually thought that I was gaining weight, and I really don’t think that I’ve lost any, but if I look smaller, the better it is. Well, not really, I’m just glad to be losing some of my excess weight……..maybe thats why I’ve got so much energy and I’m feeling great! Yeah!

Anywhoo………I also wanted some suggestions, I think I might be moving out in a few months and I know its gonna break my moms heart and I don’t want to do that to her. Does anyone have any idea how I can let her know without her being really depressed?? I hate to do that to her but I’m 18 and she doesn’t really give me any freedom and moving out might be the best thing for me. I don’t know, any suggestions would help, Thanks!

Tell her that you think it’s time that you were on your own. Make sure she knows it has nothing to do with her (even if it does). Tell her you’re just ready to be on your own. Tell her even though you won’t be living with her, you’ll still need her. She is your mom, afterall, and everyone needs their mom… I dunno. That’s what I told my mom and it seemed to work. Even though I haven’t moved out..

… I haven’t moved out yet, anyways. But don’t wait until you’ve already rented a place or whatever. Give her time to get used to the idea. And maybe even ask her to look at places with you… I dunno… ~Brittany

dont feel guilty about being excited for your 6 months…I think it’s very exciting even if it’s not your first relationship of that length!
