The problem with logic...

There is much swirling around in my little brain these days. Alex and I have started the process to navigate immigration and make our togetherness more together in one place. It's a daunting task given the amount of documentation needed to make any of this work and this is just the first part. There's more to come.

We had looked at our options when it comes to getting us together in one place. Either I go there or he comes here and either of those options means that one of us makes a huge leap. Our plan is that he is coming here for a time and then we will eventually move back to Sweden. That's the plan...the execution of that, of course, will be a lot of work and pre-planning and keeping true to our goals. I know that for him to come here is an amazing jump that shows the trust and love that he really has for me. I so appreciate that and I hope he knows it. I also know that the "what ifs" of the plan do get to him at times and I try to be supportive and help but there is not always an easy solution. Regardless, this whole journey takes a lot of work and compromise on both our parts. But, for me, there is a clear ending to this which I have to keep at the forefront of any other thoughts I might have. That is simply this - we will be together. So each tiny step we take, each document we submit, each question, each fear, however logical, is still bound in that one true strength. We will be together.

Together we can make this happen and make it happen so each of us get what it is we want out of it and what it is we want each other to have. Together we solve the problems that logic presents when what we are attempting sometimes seems illogical. Together it is not so scary at those moments when we have to take a leap of faith and trust one another to be the safety net. I know that I will never leave him out hanging to figure anything out alone and I also know he will never do that to me. And sometimes, in all of this, there will be those times when we just have to take the leap and figure out details later on. It's at those times we have to hold onto the strength that is US and trust that this will all be okay once we get to the place we are meant to be.
