Well, it's been a while since I posted here. Sometimes it's hard to try and write when nothing I want to say is very nice. But, I'm working on it. He's in the shower right now, then we're going for breakfast and then to the car show. We probably won't stay there that long, but I'm looking forward to it. This weekend has been the best one for us in a long time. It's taken some work, and we both realize now that it is going to take a lot more, but we also know that the relationship is worth it, we want to be together, and we'll do whatever it takes to get past the hard stuff.

On a lighter note, I'm going to visit my perfect prince of a nephew this week! I'm really looking forward to seeing him; he's grown so much since Christmas time. I'm also really looking forward to being home with my family. I've had a pretty stressful year so far, and I think I'm handling it okay but I have to admit that the thought of being home, surrounded by people who love me no matter what, is something that I have been craving lately. Mom let me use her Aeroplan miles, so the flight is free, and as soon as I land Thursday morning I get to go to Lethbridge. I love road trips. Watching the scenery pass and listening to music is so peaceful to me. So I am really getting spoiled this trip. We're going to Lethbridge to pick up my sister and the prince (a.k.a. my nephew) and then we're bringing them back home. Should be fun. I'll get to catch up with my Mom on the way there, and I'm looking forward to that to.

He's out of the shower, time for me to go!

It's Saturday, and he made me breakfast in bed! Well, we ate in the living room, but that's cause I got up right before he finished. But it was perfect, and he did it just for me. I am a lucky girl! *smile* He got a promotion on Thursday, and it was official yesterday. So we no longer work in the same department. I'll miss him, it was nice not to ever have to worry about things getting done, but this is better for him, which will always be better for both of us. I think he's excited about it, but he's holding back for some reason. I'm not sure he has an easy time letting things go, and I think he's having a hard time accepting that certain things aren't going to be his responsibility anymore. But, it's not like he's leaving the company, so he'll always be available if the new guy breaks stuff.

Our first loan payment comes out tomorrow, and we'll already have paid off almost $1500! That's his plan, we're making 4 payments a month, instead of just the one, and we'll be out of debt in under a year!! I can hardly believe it's real.

Friends are coming over today to see the new room, and then we're going out for a girl's lunch. It'll be fun to get together with these two again; I haven't seen them both together for a really long time. He's spending the day doing his kind of computer stuff, and I think he's pretty happy about it. And then we're going to go pick up appetizers and attend a 'Games Night' at his friends' place. I'm sort of looking forward to it. It sounds like we could have a really good time. Except I have a funny feeling that Cranium is on the agenda, and I really, really don't want to hum.

I really wish that I could upload pictures here. Then I could show you the new bedroom. It's really that nice. Almost every time we come home one of us walks in there and says something about how perfect it is. It just makes the whole room feel tranquil. Can you tell I have no life? Ugh. I don't even have anything new to post. Who was I kidding when I thought I actually had enough to say online.

He's out being a Good Samaritan tonight. Helping his friend's mom fix her computer. I hope the weather stays normal out in corn country, because he doesn't like driving in the rain at night (especially when the wipers are acting up) and it's worse if it's snowing. It was snowing, all day Saturday. In March. Weird.

Feeling a little blue these days, maybe that's why I'm having a hard time coming up with things to say. It could be the medication, or it could just be this time of year. Easter is coming, and for whatever reason, that seems to get to me every year. Isn't that weird? If anyone has any ideas about why Easter could affect me like this, can you let me know please? Thanks.

One year! Today is our anniversary. Those of you that know me know what an amazing thing this really is, so if you haven't met him yet, just know what a great guy he has to be in order for us to have made it this far.

He caught a bus for me once. No one has ever done that before. He's done a lot of things for me that I only ever imagined someone could do. Like the prince in fairytales, I thought he didn't exist. I'd actually stopped hoping I'd find someone, really believed that maybe everyone was right and I should just settle for the least annoying guy I could find. And then, I met a friend. And he thought I needed things I didn't know I needed. Like patience, and caring, and understanding, and someone who would catch a bus for me. And he stuck around long after he should have. I told him I didn't need those things. I told him I wouldn't need him. And he waited. And waited. And stayed. And eventually I believed him. And now it's been a year. *smile* I am a very lucky person. And he thinks he is too. And that makes me even luckier.

-end mush.
