Signed the papers today to file for the big D. I cried over both signatures but held it together otherwise. Had a backslide earlier in the week but we're actually having really really good interactions now. I don't know that it will lead anywhere but I'm sure it's reminding him how nice and fun it was to talk with me about things.
I'm excited about finding a new job and moving to California. I've been asking his advice on some resume things since he's an expert in our field and the excitement of me pursuing something I'm passionate about again is coming through. I know this is something that was missing for me (and us) for a long time and it was a complaint of his at my lack of motivation and ambition so it's probably throwing him for a loop to see it all again.
Right now it'll take 2-3 weeks for the county to receive and process the paperwork. Then they give us a date 3 months from then as to when we file the final paperwork. So it's still another 4 months until the actual D but I'll be in another state and probably have a job by then. As everyone says, if he wants to change his mind he will come to me wherever I am.
