New Harmony

So much has happened in this last few months. Since the last post, we have moved twice. Chels and I moved first in with my Uncle Dan while we waited on the right timing to move again westward. Finally on November 10th, Chelsea and I boarded an Amtrak train for California and our new life with Ed.
The journey westward was tiring but exciting. It took us almost 3 days to get here and it was sure a good thing to be finally home. How amazing to see several eagles in flight in the canyons along the way. How appropriate to see the symbol of freedom as we moved on to freedom of our own.
Once we arrived in here, we started walking to the station and I heard someone whistling so I turned to look. There, at the other end of the platform was the love of my life, my sweetheart. What a joy to finally be able to look him in the eye and finally feel the touch of his hand!
It's been a busy couple of weeks now and a lot of walking but I'd not change it for the world. In some ways it seems like we have been a family for years and years. Chels and Ed have the biggest time together. It's a blast watching them have such a great time. The other day at the store, Ed was pushing Chels in her wheelchair and racing around the store. Several people were laughing at their antics.
Each day now is a celebration. Sure we have challenges and there are adjustments that we each have to make, but it is amazing to me the ease in which we all have grown so close.
I'm thrilled to be here with the man I never even dreamed could be mine. If someone had told me several years ago that I could be this happy I'd have thought they were kidding. Love and happiness like this was the stuff of dreams, or so I thought. I'm here today to say it's more than a dream, more than a fantasy. I have been richly blessed and I am now living the life I never even dared to imagine.
Tomorrow we get the keys to our first home together. What a wonderful Thanksgiving indeed this will be.
