My Boyfriend Is Incredible

I just have to tell everyone how completely wonderful Alan is. He came down to Pennsylvania last weekend to help with the dreadful moving process (and when I say dreadful...I mean it. I was not looking forward to it). He got here on Friday night. By the time he got here, a lot of my furniture had been moved (at least on to the second floor of the new apartment). We managed to tear a few holes in the wall in the process of bringing things upstairs. On Saturday, I had to go to school and I could not miss it. So my wonderful boyfriend went back and forth between the old and the new apartment moving whatever was left and cleaning the new apartment and organizing things. I got back from school and had a few tasks that I wanted done before Alan left the next day to go home.

Can I just say how patient and understanding he is? I have a queen sized bed (and obviously a queen sized mattress and box spring) Now the mattress was no problem getting up to the third floor (where the bedroom is), but after numerous people measured the area I had to move the box spring, I was told numerous times that there was absolutely NO WAY that the box spring was getting up to the third floor. I was offered many other suggestions from people (such as putting plywood on the bed and laying my mattress on that) to which I politely nodded and thanked them for their opinion.

Alan knew that I was not going to accept the fact that the box spring was not going upstairs, so the sweetheart that he is, he offered to help me take it apart to get it up there. Soooo... we took each individual staple out, so as to not tear the fabric, and we pried the nailed wood off and Alan pried the corners apart (which also happened to be glued). We then pulled the staples out that were holding the wood to the metal springs and after over an hour of taking it apart, and putting a few more holes in the wall struggling to get it upstairs, we managed to do it. Alan then put it back together for me (and it is sturdy...at least enough to hold the both of us, which is all that really matters :) ). After that he put together my desk (which is complicated) AND re-wired and re-put together my treadmill.

And not once did he complain about it. He just did it...because he knew it would make me happy. I have never in my life felt so confident that someone cares about me as much as Alan does. He would never have put up with me and my demands if he didn't love me a whole lot.

I am completely amazed at how much love I have for him and how every day just when I think that I couldn't possibly love him any more than I do, he does or says something to make me love him more. He is so wonderful and I am so incredibly lucky to have him in my life. :) I can't imagine being without him...
