I am not sure how to describe what I am feeling right now. I think it might be total contentment. Maybe complacency, but I am thinking contentment.
We got home from work today -- well I got home, Ken came into the house from the casita. Anyway, we got home from work, said our hellos and discussed our days briefly. Then we ran to the store (Cost Co is our new local grocery store I think) and came home to make dinner. Dinner was done, we did the dishes together, Ken is emptying the garbage now and I am blogging. No drama, no urgency, no BIG PLANS... Nothing. Just a nice evening home together. I said to him, " I think this is us settled in." He asked if I was OK with that, and to my surprise, my answer was a sound YES. A rather emphatic YES. YES YES YES.
Anyone who knows me, has known me or thinks they know me, knows that I am not a sit still kind of gal. I find reasons to run around, create errands for running and book my social calendar so full that I cannot breathe. NO MORE.
Ken and I are relaxing into our relationship, I think, as we are moving to the next level. Planning the wedding, planning the moves and becoming a couple over the last year has been amazing; to the point that it kind of just happened in a blur. But I am enjoying this new phase where we can relax and just live a combined life. Dishes and garbage included.

One of our first trips together -- and it could not have been more perfect!

That comfortable feeling, feeling safe and secure, is what I love most about my life. Whenever I feel frantic and stressed I think about how I wouldn't want to be anywhere else because my life so far has led me to this point and I am thankful.
P.S. X-Men III was great!! :)
Good point Amanda. Ken reminds me often that our past is what has made us the people that we are in love with today. Pretty cool, huh?
Yay! Nothing says happiness more than what you're feeling.
