Time Flies

Its hard to believe that Drew and I will be together one year on October 16th. He pretends that it isn't something to celebrate, but I know that he feels as lucky as I do to have experienced the last year together. It has been more than unbelievable. I always thought it was rediculous when people told me, "when its right, you just know". To think that a year ago I was terrified to meet this guy I knew I was going to marry just seems crazy. I wasn't afraid of meeting a stranger. I was afraid of something I knew was so real from the start. We have had such an amazing trip thus far, I can't imagine what the future will bring. Meeting, falling in love, buying a house, finishing college, and planning a wedding all in one year. We know each others thoughts, and finish each others sentences. We can stand each others presence after working out or being sick...pretty special if you ask me. We just fit, it works, and I feel extremely lucky. I was looking at a friends' wedding pictures today and I couldn't believe that would be me in 6 months. I can't wait to make Sunday Morning Blog Loves Jesse Loves Brady official!

Better than I was
More than I am
And all of this happened
By takin' your hand

And who I am now
Is who I wanted to be
And now that we're together
I'm stronger than ever
I'm happy and free

Oh, it's a beautiful thing
Don't think I can keep it all in, no
And if you asked me why I changed
All I gotta do is say your sweet name

It's your love
It just does somethin' to me
It sends a shock right through me
I can't get enough
And if you wonder
About the spell I'm under
It's your love

You Make Me Sick

I'm sick. Not like feeling a little quezzy. I caught the flu. First Drew's boss had it, then Drew had it his whole vacation, and now I have it. I woke up with it yesterday, and managed to work the whole day in Hyannis. I was an interesting experience, but I am definitely more comfortable in the Falmouth store. Last week I got 35 hrs, and I would like to keep it up but I don't know if I will be able to. My classes are hard and boring. A contributor to this may be the fact that this is the countdown to the end. Very little subject matter will keep my attention under these circumstances. So anyway, with this crazy schedule I am keeping, I have no time to be sick. I am hoping that I will be much better tomorrow because I have both work and school. As of now I am sweaty, have a sore throat, drippy nose, headache, and have to make unexpected trips to the bathroom. Not convenient in the work or school atmosphere. Thank god we don't have to unload a truck tomorrow morning or I would be junk. I am glad my schedule is becoming busy and I don't have as much downtime. This is better for my personality. Now if I can just kick this disease, I will be good to go!

Go Shorty, Its Your Berfday!

Yesterday was my 23rd birthday. I dread birthdays, and generally prefer to spend them quiet and alone. Yesterday was anything but quiet, but I ended up having an awesome day. I guess I dread it because they haven't been happy experiences in the past. First, grandma came up and took Drew and I out to lunch. We went to Siena where I ate enough food to keep me for 4 days. I felt so sick afterward, but I highly recommend this restaurant! Grandma also got me an interview outfit from the Gap and battery operated candles! After lunch I slept for a few hours and then we went to Drew's house for a very cool birthday party. I am still overwhelmed by the kindness of his family. We opened presents which included: an IPOD mini from Drew, a Le Crueset pot and two books from his parents, Victoria's secret smellies and socks from Marjorie, and a pizza stone and cool glass ball from his sister's family. Then we ate a dinner of my favorite meatballs and yummy cake. I have spent today loading music onto my IPOD and cleaning up around the house. Drew took care of the yard, something I don't seem to be motivated to do. I was really lucky to have Saturday and Sunday off this weekend, but I go back to work tomorrow. I am really enjoying my new job, and I am looking forward to going back to school and getting this whole education thing overwith. I can't wait to work fulltime and start a normal routine. On a sadder note, I think we should all say a prayer for the people effected by the hurricane. My signifcant other has taken to heated political debates online over this whole mess. I deal with my anger and sadness in a different way. I keep to myself and mourn peacefully. Everyone is different, but I just feel that people should shut their mouths and focus on saving the living and giving the dead respectful burials. I can't get caught up in the politics. It just isn't the time for that.

Lets Be Practical

Even though we don't have cable, I have been able to read and look at picture of the terror that the people of the South are experiencing. If there is one thing that comes to my mind, it is that we(those not directly effected)don't have problems. Yes, we are stressing about the price of gas. Luckily, I have a fine man in my life that reminds me daily, if not hourly, about the price of gas increasing. Though it is a bit panic attack inducing, it has been helping me to prioritize about what I need to spend my money on. Now that I am living on a very minimal salary, I have become more aware of spreading that money around to the necessities(electric, water, phone, internet, food, gas). As I am sure many other people are experiencing, there is not a penny to spare. The point I am making here is that what I, and most others are experiencing, is not a problem! We are ten times better off than thousands without homes, loved ones, and healthcare. I may not have money to send to the victims of this natural disaster, but I can quit my complaining and try to live my life within my means. We have all been bitching about gas prices lately, but I think people are forgetting the big picture. These gas prices are going to effect the price of everything! You are screwed if you drive a gas guzzling SUV, but you are also screwed if you live a high-end lifestyle. It is time for us to get back to putting our needs first. Today, I went to the grocery store to stock up on poultry, meat, bread, and anything else I could shove in our freezer. That fine man I was talking about asked that I buy extra coffee as the price is projected to skyrocket. Even though I am exhausted from shoving this mornings $150 grocery trip into the freezer, I am glad that I took the chance to stock up. Money is only going to get more tight for a long time.
