Can you say "Catherine's in LOVE!"??

Yup, it's official. This man is amazing and I've fallen in love. I could just go on about the wonderful things he does and how totally supportive he is, but that would take all day. I don't want to wait 12 more weeks. Boo hoo!

Congrats, Catherine. 12 weeks will go by fast - and it will build anticipation on both sides.
Tell us more!!
He is just awesome. He is funny, intelligent, good looking, ambitious, career oriented, family oriented, a doer, dependable, caring and very very supportive. He tells me how proud he is of me, how much respect he has and how incredible I am. Basically everything that you can imagine. AND we haven't even been intimate yet. LOL. We keep saying it'll be the icing on the cake. He's emotional and intense like I am. Same insecurites, hates the same things and so we both respect each other highly, because we understand what each of us feels.
WE finish each others sentences, we think the same way, we have the same interests, but we also have other interests that makes us different enough. I think I've mentioned it all before. 2 days ago he called and we were talking. I told him that I picked up a movie that looked good and just came out on video. He asked me what I picked out. I told him "The Aviator" and he laughed and said that's crazy, because his buddy and him had rented it that night too and were watching it on TV. I didn't believe it, until I made him turn the TV up. Sure enough, we were watching the same movie. Just wierd stuff like that. It's a scary thought, but I think I've found my twin. Without wanting to jinx myself, I feel like he is my soul mate.
Here are a few things he writes. It's really personal, but I think it's wonderfully inspiring.
These are somethings out of his letters from the last 5 days:
First of all you are an amazing woman, strong, adventreaous, outgoing, spontaneous, loving, caring, emotional, affectionate and most of all determined. You are superwoman.
Relax and know that I am here waiting for you and your family, I am ready for the challenge, I know it will be a challenge, but that is what life is. Those willing to except that and face it will prosper, those who dont, well we know who they are:).

Honestly, look in the mirror and know that you are incredible.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Since I met you , all I want to do is be a
better man. Its working, I am in awe of you and what you do and mean to me.

You have made me believe that there is love and truth in the world. I have been skeptical that there was someone out there for me, but I found you and you found me.
Catherine, I love you, know that I am here, across an ocean, but an ocean
cannot seperate us, its only a temporary situation. In the grand scheme of
things, a summer of not being together, will seem long gone once we are
together and we will have the ultimate opportunity to share our lives
together. Thank you for sharing and letting me in your life, you are a
true inspiration.

You gotta admit, very mushy, but really sweet. LOL
- Catherine
That is so sweet Catherine!! Thank you for sharing!!
Keep us posted on your progress. What do the girls think of moving here?
They are totally thrilled. Alex is really excited because she LOVES the apartment I chose. It's the best one in the area and it is set up like a resort. Indoor/Outdoor Tropical pool, jacuzzi, fitness center, volleyball court, racquetball court, tennis courts, jogging path, fishing pond, wildlife habitat, picnic and bbq areas and of course a large playground. It's a 3 bedroom. It'll cost me $900 a month. It has a washer/dryer, microwave, coffee machine, and all the perk stuff. Fireplace, two decks, two full baths, 2 walk in closets and loads of other closet space. It's in a wonderful neighborhood and exactly the school district that I wanted for her.
Nina keeps saying: I am going on an airplane to america and then I can play in the sand all day and have a pink cat.
I have her now accepting a yellow cat. LOL
That sounds very good. Where in the world did she get the idea of a pink cat?
Enjoy Germany while you have your days left - that is truly a beautiful place. I always loved the buildings and stores in "Munchen"....
He sounds very sweet and romantic and supportive. I love it when my man gets mushy! Especially when the only person who gets to see that side of him is me. :)
Congratulations Cat! It sounds like things are all working out for you...now for that job... I can't wait to hear about your new career!
OMG! You are dating Romeo! I can't believe the things he wrote. It sounds like things are wonderful so far. So can I be nosy- since you told us that you are in love- and ask how you told him you loved him, how he told you, and all the surrounding details? If you can tell us some stories then I won't have to buy a romance novel!
I cannot believe the apartment you are getting your hands on and for that price. Now I understand why so many new yorkers are moving south. It sounds great. I think it is absolutely adorable that Nina wants a pink cat. That is so cute.
So keep us updated. You'll be here before you know it.

I didn't tell him that I loved him until last week. He started in suttle details a few weeks ago and then one day on the phone, he said he had to tell me something and that I didn't need to respond. Then he very quietly and very shyly told me that he loved me. It was barely a whisper and very cute. I didn't say it back, but after us having a few bumpy communication problems and I suddenly realizing that he was really serious about us and wasn't going anywhere. A few examples: calling me and emailing me daily, him wanting to talk about any misunderstandings and really taking the time to iron it out, being totally supportive, asking what he can do to help with my move, putting loads of time and effort into us, opening up to me about everything and not hiding his past; even though emotional, getting to know HIM and him getting to know ME and none of it physical, that is what has made us very strong. The time apart at first has been really hard, but my mentality about us has gotten stronger and more trusting. I realized when I didn't hear from him, or if we had even a dispute and I felt sick to my stomach, or that every second of the day my thoughts would go to him, and most of all, that I wanted to be a better person because of him, that he made me a better person and he has so much faith in me, believes in me, that I was in love with this man.
So.....one day, he was having a very bad day, late for a client and everything seemed to go wrong. I sent him a bouquet of flowers to his office and wrote: "I hope these brighten your day. I love you. - Catherine"
He called me and said, "I read your card and I saw how you signed it. Was that a mistake?"
I said, "No, it wasn't. You mean so much to me and I love you."
That's how I did it. Since then every day has just gotten better and we are so connected, that it's unbelievable.
