October 1st. An especially exciting day for all Netflix lovers. For those of you who haven't heard, 7 seasons, 153 episodes of Gilmore Girls are now available on Netflix!! Awww yisss! After finishing seasons 1-4 of Downton Abbey (anxiously awaiting season 5 in January), I have been in a slight TV rut. I hate that feeling of finishing a series and not knowing what to do with your life/how to get out of your sweatpants. So this news of Gilmore Girls has cheered me up significantly! I used to watch it every day after school and I gladly welcome the show back into my life as the fall season creeps in on this foggy day.
Watching the first couple episodes of GG (Gilmore Girls, not Gossip Girl), I can't help but fall in love with the charm of Stars Hollow, the constant cups of coffee, and Lorelei's gorgeous house with the always roaring fireplace. I have a thing for fireplaces.
Z and I have been dating for four years now. Dating seems like too small of a word for our relationship. We are more than dating, but not engaged yet. Is there a word for that phase? Z is the love of my life. He is the best friend I have ever had, my secret keeper, my partner in crime, my love. I cannot adequately describe how much and how immensely I love him, I can just tell you that he saved me in more ways than one and that he is the part of me I cannot function without.
How does Gilmore Girls relate to my love story with Z? Well, Z and I have recently been talking about moving in together. We are over the apartment/living at home phase. After all, we adopted a dog together almost two years ago who loves being outside and needs a nice, safe, fenced in backyard where he can romp around all he wants. So yes, ideally, we would like to move into a house. This is a huge deal for both of us since we still live at home with our parents. I know, I know. Lame. At one point in time when I was still trying to figure out my life plan, I lived in an apartment on my own. This is when we adopted our puppy and Z would come to visit us each and every weekend (we lived very far apart at the time). So we've been through the apartment phase, we've been through the long distance relationship phase, we are freaking ready to move in and start our lives together.
I want more than anything to live in a small, charming town like Stars Hollow, to live in a house like Lorelei's, to wake up to Z every morning snuggled next to me. It's this crisp, colorful start of October that makes me long for evenings in front of a warm fireplace, sipping hot tea with honey, cuddling with Z and our loving puppy, falling asleep in his arms.
Ah, October.
