One year
Who would have ever thought i'd make it to the one year mark. It seems like just yesterday I was excited if I made it past a month with a guy. Then the mark grew to that elusive 6 month mark, then suddenly i'm with Ben for a year. Now I guess the next mark is getting engaged??? Makes me happy just thinking about it. Ahh how wonderful life can be. Drama free, catty free, just pure wonderful love bliss. Then you get to work. Not actually work isn't that bad at all. I have to deal with the normal stupid people you want to hit with a stick, but hey I shall control myself. What I don't understand though is how you could possibly think it's ok to wear jeans and a junky tee-shirt to a job where at any moment you could be thrown into a spotlight, and would you want to be seen representing your office in jeans and a junky tee-shirt???? At least make it a nice tee-shirt!!!! Course i've adapted a no jeans unless it's Friday policy. It's working for me except the fact that i've about ruined my only two pair of khakis that I only just recently bought. I guess it's time to spend even more moneying, makes it hard to save for Vegas, but i'm actually still doing it. I'm proud of myself for that!!!!
So this weekend was spent in Valdez for part. Went down on Friday after work, and it rained, Saturday did a little bit of fishing, and it rained. Since my tennis shoes were soaked by that point we did some shopping for some waterproof shoes and I ended up spending $70 for a really nice pair of merrels, that are also going to be my new hiking shoes, and fishing shoes. So once I finally got my feet dried, we played cards while it rained. OHHH i almost forgot. While we were out shopping for shoes we also shopped for a giant tarp so we could stay at least a little dry. This thing was huge, the picture is just hilarious, and something you expect only to see in Alaska, but we were definitly envied on the campground for our dry factor. Sunday woke up, our camp site was basically a lake. It rained the whole night. So we decided just to give up and come home. Spent the fourth just hanging out at the house. My little cousing came over and we played with sparklers and those pop thingies. We had a huge waterfight and I ended up in the kiddie pool. Yeah the water was a little cold, but it was still fun.
I've had an upset stomach since Sunday, and it finally escalated to a full blown stomach ache today. I had to eventually just give up on work and lay down on the couches in the break room for the last half hour. So I only get an extra half hour instead of extra hour of time, but it's a Holiday week so I won't get overtime anyways, don't ask it's a weird system. Anywho i'm tired and my laundry is almost ready to switch. Hmm not what I expected this post to turn out to be. However I do Love my man very much and i'm happy we've made it a year. Here's to making it oh so much longer!!!!!!!
