ehowton ◾ ◾ Cass

Fast & Testimony today (first service after General Conference). After church I brought Kaylie home while Cass and Abbs went to Young Women's for second hour. We went almost immediately to AirBNB (sans Abbs this time), then to A Taste of Jerusalem for gyros and tabouli salad (fantastic). We started A Beautiful Mind but had to run back to AirBNB to swap laundry and stopped on the way to see her folks; I did enjoy telling her mother I was looking at houses in the area as she has opinions on why I am here and how long I should be staying lol

In conclusion to one of our long-running conversations, I've finally acquiesced to one of Cass' long standing concerns that I also date other women while I date her. It will certainly make my life interesting to say the least. This way, apparently, I can make sure there isn't anyone in the local Great Bend area who isn't more well suited for me - Central Kansas of course bearing witness to its diverse dating pool. She will be doing likewise. I'm oddly comfortable with this arrangement because I know it will put her mine at ease. She's been my best friend for far too long for me to not want that for her, and I love her enough to give her what she needs. Sometimes being my best friend and potential lover both creates conflicting priorities, but her friendship has always been, and will always be my ultimate goal.

Its been such a tumultuous couple of years and a highly concentrated version of that since since I've been here that now that I'm finally at peace with myself, her, and us, the familiarity of it is a little odd. As usually, looking forward to how my future continues to play out.
