Sad and WONDERFUL news...

Oh, boy.
Well, after promisng my boyfriend and myself I would not pick any fights baout the amount of time or quality of time we spend together for a period of one month, I believe we have no been happier. It has been wonderful. I am so happy. He is such a wonderful man. I love how he looks at me. I love how he holds my hand. I love how we kisses my forehead. I love HIM.

Which is why this is so horrible for me and so WONDEFUL for him. Here's the deal. We live in Caliifornia.

David (my bf) got a job offer.
... In Washington D.C.

The job starts in June and would include more campign training until November. AFter that he would move to an unspecified location to do congressional work until November 2006. At That point he would stay in that location and then do prep work for the 2008 elections. It's a 6 month committment in the DC/Virginia area, and then 3 years at a place to be named later. Less money in the short term, but potentially WAY more money over that period of time.
It's not something he can accept without question though because if he chooses the wrong side, then he's screwed in terms of a job. Wait, let me back up. Ultimatly this is for the Republican Presedential Nominee for 2008. The guy is a nobody uless you're in a party and the whole thing is under wraps to the point where it's not being made public that he is even considering running for the nomination. There is also a rather large possibility he would back out before the nomination-election in which case it would be too far in the cmapgin for dvae to get hired by the opposing party- that would be how he could get screwed. He wouldn't tell me the name of the guy. He's not allowed to.
Yeah, ok so I'm a thrilled for him he has been given such a wonderful opporuntiy and such amazing possibilities as a result of this job offer... If the guy stuck it out through the nominations and won, and under some act of god got elected to teh white house- david could possinbly be working in the white house.
So anyway, I"ve been in a sorry state for the last hour.

Dave doesn't know what he is going to do. I of course feel he will absolutly go. :(

Sort of puts a gigantic damper on things.
