MY Apartment

WELL WELL WELL!!!!! I am OFFICIALLY moved in to my apartment! Mind you...I am not unpacked, but I AM moved in. It is SO very cute and I love it! I will definately be putting up pics as soon as it gets pretty! I am so excited to have a housewarming party! I am at work and do not have a lot of time, so this is going to be super super short. BUT...moving in was fun..my parents, roommate, and Jason helped move me in and it all went very well. My dad and Jason put together all the furniture and they were all....I don't know...they were getting along...it was weird.

Jason was perfect and so helpful. He, along with every other guy in the world, is not too keen on hanging out with his girlfriend's parents...even went to dinner with them and he was all cute and conversational...he was perfect!

I love my apartment!

:) :) :) :) :)

WELL! Do I EVER have news! You were probably wondering where I disappeared to! WELL....guess who decided to surprise me and come home 1 week early!!!???? JASON! He came in last weekend and showed up at my house Sunday after church. You know how in the back of your mind you always hope people will do stuff like that??? WELL HE DID! I was so excited...still am actually! So very glad to have him home. It has been a very very good week. We haven't been doing too terrribly much...just enjoying each others presence! I have been dragging him around town looking for shower curtains, towels, etc (found some really cute ones!). Anyway, it has been good...very good.

Okay, if you are still reading this you should probably sit down...you may be shocked by what I am fixing to say. You know with my commitment issues etc.....well...I told Jason I love him. I'll admit it...it felt good :) So, applaud me for my overcoming whatever it is that is wrong with me when it comes to relationships and love! Hmm...I hope you have enjoyed the written documentation of my disfunctionalism when it comes to relationships. I was looking at my old blog and my progression from extreme to denial to casual acceptance to complete infatuation has been rather intriguing!

Anyway, I was suppose to move into my apartment yesterday....but that didn't happen....it has been post-poned till next weekend. The previous guy trashed the place and they are having to pretty much replace everything! So at least I am gettting new stuff! I haven't really started packing yet but I am planning on doing so on Tuesday. Jason's birthday is Wednesday and I have contemplated many things to do/get him but I still just can't decide. I told him he is on buying restrictions for a week. I know what I want to get him but the boy buys so much stuff I am waiting till Tuesday to get it....you never know with him!

Well, I am at work so I should probably do something workesk and maybe I will cave to my complete boredom and blog again later :)!

Closer

So this is what we do: we get up...go to work...eat...sleep...and do it all again. And somewhere in the midst of it all we try to live a little. Well, I HAVE LIVED :) That's right...I am officially the proud owner of a brand new washer and dryer! You are probably thinking the same thing J asked "tell me again why a new washer and dryer are so exciting?" WELL, it is my first purchase as an attempted grown up.

Now, let us take a moment to reflect and recognize the fact that I have no real intentions on "growing up"...as a matter of fact I think I am regressing into stages I never went through. This whole having my own money to spend thing is pretty great! Yesterday I bought my new bathroom set, 2 pairs of pj shorts, and the movie Crash (huh...where DID i put it?)! Anyway, today I am going shopping for underwear...cause I can! I don't really have much money, but I like to pretend I do. I really only spent $20 unnecessary dollars yesterday...but it is progress! I normally feel real guilty about spending money and buying myself unnecessary stuff like DVD's...wanna hear my rationalization for why I bought it...this is pretty great:

My rationalization for buying a DVD on sale for $10: Well, I figured to rent it would be $4.32 PLUS spending the gas to get to and from blockbuster PLUS the time it took to and from Blockbuster....SO we have opportunity cost...it just made more sense to buy it :) I know...I am a dork.

I realize I need no rationalization...yet I have to have it. AND can I say that I am in desperate need of approval of my bathroom set...and I am not sure why. I need everyone to tell me it is cute and not childish looking...why? WHY do I need everyone to tell me that...why is my liking it not good enough? These are things I cannot figure out...I need constant approval from all...which makes life difficult being that SOMEONE always fails to approve!

Anyway, I have been more daring with spending money lately...my friendships with K and Roommate plus J has helped me to not be SO ridiculously money conscious. Well, I will try to write again sooner! Until then...I am going to the mall!

OH OH OH!!!!!! I almost forgot....>CLOSER (the title of my post)>>>>>>IT is getting CLOSER!!! What is getting closer you ask? Well...2 things! J...what the heck JASON is coming back the 19th...less than 2 weeks! AND I move into my apartment the 19th! SO SO excited...I will have to update you on that man later :) Everything is great and I am SOO ready for him to come home to me!
