I've gone public!
Okay, so I can post public entries now :o) She got her book today, even though the shipping info said that she wouldn't get it until the 4th.
Kim and Erik, the longest dating couple ever!
Speaking of the 4th, Kim and Erik will have been together for EIGHT YEARS on the 4th. Yes, you read that right. Dating for EIGHT YEARS. I would have shanked him by now and made him walk me down the aisle. They say it works for them, so who am I to judge?
My eternal Nesting instinct
I've been spending a lot of time on the Nest recently. Alana pins me to the corner of the couch and Nesting and watching tv are basically what I'm stuck with. I supposed I should read a book, but the Nest ladies are just so entertaining. Between DenaliGate 2008 and the heated arguments over WIC, it makes being pinned to the couch not so bad. Some of the ladies are super nice, very intelligent, and would make great friends in real life. Unfortunately, only one lives in Seattle, and for some odd reason, the bulk of them life in Minnesota (BabyMenzel, ya out there?).
It's also nice to "be" somewhere that everyone has babies the same age as yours, knows what you're going through, and can provide some adult conversation at the same time.
Oh, Emerald City...
We're gearing up to go to Seattle on the 8th. Allen got his shift on the 11th covered, so we could feasibly be there for about 2 weeks. The 11th is his little brother Clayton's birthday, and Clayton's first football game with Nathan Hale.
I started to look at apartments/houses online in the North Seattle area. I really wish Allen would consider West Seattle- the rent is cheaper and they typically offer more square footage. I mean, I don't have to live in West Seattle, I just wish he would consider it. Damn me for being the flexible one.
I can't wait to move back. I am so sick of being "the one that moved away." I mean, we did the right thing and I absolutely do not regret it, I just missed two years of time in a lot of people's lives. They'll have missed the first 6 months of Alana's life. Their lives went on without me and mine without them. A lot of really cool and amazing things have happened, and we went through them without each other.
In any case, we're getting so close I can almost taste it.
More later, I hope. One can only accomplish so much while typing one-handed.
