Interesting weekend.

I've talked to a lot of people at UL. I've even met a girl who lives in the complex I'll be in. She's a newbie, too. Everyone is very friendly, offering help and advice, asking questions.

This weekend something pretty big happened. Brian and I reached a new place in our relationship, which is a real relationship now. Faced with only two choices for the future, stay together and try to survive long distance or split up. It was an emotional conversation, ending with a particular declaration.

I'm sure you know the one I'm referring to.

Given this, I decided to tell my mother the truth about how we met. I didn't tell her we met online. I was a little embarrassed about it at first, and afraid my mother might judge and thus not consider the relationship valid, or might be suspicious of him. I still have a hard time giving her much credit in judging others.

So I told her the truth. Told her I was sorry for lying, and why I lied. I haven't heard from her. She could be really upset, or not surprised because sometimes she seems to expect stuff like this from me (though when it happens it's usually because of her issues). Now, it's a waiting game. She may not respond at all. I don't know.
But I figured if Brian and I are at that point, it needs to be out in the open. Who knows when he'll meet my family.

This summer is going slow. I want to be in Lafayette, and now I want to spend more time with Brian than ever.
