I probably should have posted this a long time ago, I really enjoyed you coming to visit Kristi! I'm happy you got to meet Michael. It's kind of crazy that he's the first boyfriend of mine that you've gotten to meet. It was a lot of fun going to build a bear, I still can't believe Michael decided to make one too. I wish we all lived closer together ( Read more... )

I guess I haven't updated in awhile. Last week I told Michael that I love him. It was something that I had wanted to say for awhile but I was scared. There were so many times that I almost said it but then I would stop myself. When we were at the store one day I let it slip out. I guess I had been so close to saying it that it finally just ( Read more... )

I have always been the single for life friend, I've never really thought about getting married, settling down and having kids. It was just never part of the equation in my life. Dating Michael is changing everything. When I'm driving or just have time to think I find my thoughts drifting and planning a life with him. I think about what it would be ( Read more... )

This is the the first night I've had to sleep alone in four nights. It makes me sad. I thinking I'm finally figuring out what it's like to be in a relationship and how much you can want to spend time with another person. Does this mean I'm an adult?

So I think Friday night went okay. There were a lot of us out to dinner so the parents didn’t really get to talk to the boy. This might be for the best. It means they didn’t get a chance to ask him a million questions and put him on the spot about different things. We sat by Jessie and she spent the majority of the night hitting on the waiter ( Read more... )

This week is homecoming so the parents will be in town all weekend. Friday night they always go out with friends for supper and they invite me. So on Friday they are going to aunt maudes ( the nicest place in Ames) and mom asked if Michael was going to come with. I immediately went into panic mode, I've never had a boy meet the parents. I told ( Read more... )

I'm falling hard for this boy.

The boy and I made it official. So I guess I have a boyfriend now. It's weird I've never really been able to say that before. This could take some getting used to.

ps. Don't be surprised if I call/text you guys freaking out about stuff randomly.

Quick update, more details later. Stayed the night at the boy's place last night. I bought shower stuff and left there I also packed a couple sets of extra clothes to leave there. I ended up just leaving all my extra clothes in my bag and taking them with me because for some reason that feels like a huge step to leave them there. Maybe next time. ( Read more... )

I got some good news at work today, it was time for my six month raise so I got a 4% raise. I was excited about that. They also decided to promote me to a collector 2. That came with a 5% raise! It used to be the rule that if you got promoted you had to stay in the department for a year but I guess they did away with that rule. The only thing that ( Read more... )
