Right now I'm just sitting here in bed watching TV. There really isn't a whole lot on either. That's not surprising though. Also, I am pondering reading a book instead of watching tv. I started a book and I'm having some problems getting through it. The language is a bit of a challenge and it's proving to make my eyes tired more than it's stimulating my mind. Hopefully that changes though.
This weekend was rather fun. I got to spend time with my aunt and uncle from New York that I haven't seen since Thanksgiving. Paul came over too and he got to meet them for the first time. I would like to think that they got along rather well. Paul, my dad, and my uncle went to the bar for a little bit and I think some male bonding happened there. However, I don't think that the got to talk to my aunt a whole lot. I hope that Paul really decides to go up to New York with me next Thanksgiving and then he can spend more time with my family and meet my cousins and their children.
Also, Paul and I got our first babies. We got two kittens that are going to be moved into his house after he moves in. I call them our "fur babies." One is black and white and the other is black with some brown mixed in. The cutest thing about them is their pretty eyes that look up at you as you hold them. My heart just melts when I have them in my arms and they look up at me. The kittens came from a liter that was born in our neighborhood. The cat is a wild outside cat but if you get the kittens young enough you can tame them and they can be really good house cats. That's what we did with our three youngest cats Sadie, Pixie, and Gizmo. They were born to the same mother that we got these two new kittens and they are some of the sweetest cats we have ever had. Paul and I hope that we can get these kittens to calm down and then take them to the his new townhouse. My mom and dad are going to be the foster home until we can move them in.
Did I say that Paul purchased a huge 3 bedroom and 2 1/2 bath town house? It's a beautiful house in a really nice neightborhood. It's located near campus, which means that I can see Paul everyday if I want. I'll have to take some pictures of the place and show it to you. Paul is very proud of his purchase and I know that he and I are going to be able to make it a good home. I think that it'll be our home for a few years after I graduate until we figure out where we want to go once we are married. I'm excited though because we get to paint the walls, by furniture, and decorate. I love to decorate!
Paul and I haven't really been able to talk a lot about what we want to do once we get married. The huge question for me is where I want to move to? Where am I going to find a job? I think that it would be good to get out of the state of Pennslyvania because I've been here too long. I want to see the world a little bit and step out on my own. I just don't know how far I want to go. I mean my family is mostly here in Pennslyvania and I know that a part of me would miss them. So I am debating where I should really move to. I know Paul wants to be in Colorado. I love Colorado but I question if it is too far. I would love to move to one of the Carolinas though. I mean a coast is something special. You don't know what it's like until you've been there. However, moving out west would be an adventure too. I mean Colorado has mountains like you wouldn't believe. I mean REAL mountains that we don't have on the coast. So I guess there are pros and cons to each side. I just think that Paul and I have to talk about it.
Paul has become a huge part of my life. I was just thinking about all of this and realized that a man becoming such a huge part of my life was something that I never thought I'd truly understand. I guess they always say that you know what it's like to be in love when you are in it. It's just that now I truly see everything clearly. Paul is the one man that I understand inside and out. I know his every thought, his every move, and I know how he thinks and feels. It's so strange and so wonderful. I wish that everyone could feel what it was like. So this is what I wish for everyone, to find that one person that you can understand and make you realize that there is a person that can be a huge part of your life.
