My relationship with Renata started only a short few months ago back in June. Since then though, things were on an accelerated pace and it has grown much faster and further than what most relationships are like. Even compared to some of my friends who have been together with their significant others for years, ours seems to be even further ahead.

At times I feel like I’ve known her all my life, or at least much longer than the few months since we’ve gotten together. This makes being apart from each other so much harder. However, we both know that this time apart is temporary and that we’ll eventually live together. Well, it’s now more than a feeling as she’s just bought a house and I’ll be moving in next summer.

The place itself (at least from photos and descriptions on the internet) looks gorgeous and seems pretty huge. If she approves of it, then I know it’ll be quite nice. It is definitely a home meant for a family and not for a couple, so it’s a good place to set our roots.

This is all somewhat scary and exciting all at once. Scary in that I’ve never had a serious and long-term relationship before (my longest one being 6 months). I’ve never pictured myself settling down with someone (I’ve also never met anyone like Renata either). It is exciting in that I’ll be starting anew in Ottawa for a permenant stay.

I’m also taking my little brother with me, and he’ll be living with us while he goes through school. I think the change for him will be good as well, since it’ll remove him from the negative influences in his life. He seems pretty stoked about it all and I hope things work out so that he can come out there. I hope by being out there he can get his act straight and live a more directed lifestyle.

We’ll see how things pan out, but I’ve got a feeling it’s for the better.
