" Hiya folks! Spring break is in full swing, and, to be honest, I can&amp;#039;t wait to go back to school. Like I thought it would be, living an hour away from Andrew is awful. We went to the Pitt vs. UConn game together on Saturday, which was great (especially since Pitt beat the Number 1 ranked UConn 70-60!), but then my parents came and picked me up and it was a sad, weepy couple of hours after that. Yesterday, though, I got a surprise when Andrew&amp;#039;s family went to visit their extended family \u2013 which lives only half an hour away from me! We got to spend a few hours together, and I got to see his family and meet one of his cousins. :) Tomorrow, he&amp;#039;s coming over for the whole day, and we&amp;#039;re going to color Easter eggs early and then go see The Curious Case of Benjamin Button for the second time at a really cheap, really crummy - but adorable \u2013 little theater in my town. I&amp;#039;m so excited! Then, in three days, I&amp;#039;m going up to his house and I&amp;#039;m going to spend the night there. We&amp;#039;ve started concocting a plan about living together somewhere over the summer \u2013 either his house or my house. My parents said that they would be fine with either of those propositions. His dad was also fine with the idea... but his mom dismissed it pretty quickly and definitively. :( She says that we&amp;#039;re too young for that. The thing is, though, that I really don&amp;#039;t think we are. I&amp;#039;m nineteen and he is twenty. That&amp;#039;s when my parents moved in together, and they are still blissfully in love. I know that we are not my parents, but individual, different people, but still, it&amp;#039;s not ludicrous for two young adults in a committed, serious relationship to move in together. Plus, fiscally speaking, one of us or the other would be driving two hours round trip every weekend, if we stay living at our own homes. It just seems like it would be much more economic and convenient and pleasant if one of us got a job in the other&amp;#039;s home town and just lived with that family. His mom did not even entertain the idea, either; she just dismissed it right off the bat. I&amp;#039;m hoping that she&amp;#039;ll think about it more and change her mind, but I&amp;#039;m nervous about working something out, if she doesn&amp;#039;t. Any ideas for persuading an old-fashioned mother? Love, Brittany "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
