Sometimes you just know
Been a while since I've posted again!! Life is going very well :) Work is going well, we were absolutely slammed with senior sessions at the end of August and I pretty much wanted to rip my hair out. It was so busy and stressful but thankfully that's over with now! It's calmed down a whole lot since the kids have gone back to school. lol parents always say they look forward to summer break ending but I think I'll say the same thing! It means the studio slows down and I like that. My cousin got married at the beginning of the month and that was really wonderful :) I was the maid of honor and it was such a nice ceremony.
Aaron and I are still together and it's going well. Really really well :) We've actually done a lot of serious talking about the future, and I think it's safe to say now that he is "the one". I know that sounds ridiculously cliche, but I have never been more serious. I know that we haven't dated for years and years, but I think at this point I am old enough and have dated enough to know what I do and do not want, and I have been in enough failed relationships to recognize when I have found someone good, someone worth it. Aaron and I connect in a way that I never really thought I would ever find. We see eye to eye on so many important issues and yet we are different enough that it's not boring - we compliment each other. We've had our differences, and just the other night we had our first major issue and it's a great feeling to know that we can work it out, talk about it, and work through whatever problem arises. I've never had that before.
A few weeks ago we were at Olive Garden and our waitress must have just recently broken up with her boyfriend, because she saw us together and started talking about it and how she felt she had to settle to find a guy that's right for her. I don't have to settle with Aaron. He doesn't ask me to be someone that I'm not. He takes me for all that I am. I have never been more grateful. It's funny because I never understood when people would tell me that when you find the one, you just know. That sometimes you just know. But now I do. Something with Aaron from the very beginning has always felt good, always felt right. We've been talking for the last month maybe, 3-4 weeks about this being serious, he's told me that he wants to show me just how serious he is about me. I was never able to really reciprocate that because I was afraid. Afraid he would do to me what Don did and just up and leave with little warning. But that night at Olive Garden I was able to tell him how I really felt.
So I guess we are pre engaged right now, heh :) We've talked a lot about it. He's talked to my mom about it and plans on talking to my dad. Or maybe he already has, I'm not sure lol I told him not to tell me when he does, because I want it to be a surprise :) Then, he asked me if I wanted to pick out my ring :D! I told him that I want him to do it because it would come from his heart and be from him. But I told him no squares haha :p The amazing thing...I think he bought it last week! He's not very good at keeping thing from me especially if he's excited, and he's said a few little things that lead me to believe that :) I got some good advice from my mom a few weeks ago - for a little bit I kept telling Aaron not to do anything until we've been dating for 6 months to a year, I think mostly because I wanted to make sure he was sure about me and wouldn't change his mind. But my mom told me to try not to focus on the numbers and to focus on what was in my heart. I know what's in my heart and I know that it's not going to change in 2 months. We've seen each other at our worst and our best, I've cried with him, he's cried with me, I feel like he knows me. Really knows me, all of me. We've only been dating for 4 months, but we started off as friends and I've known him for almost a year which I think counts for somethign too :)
So everyone thinks a proposal is in the near future! My birthday is the 8th of October and the girls I work with think he's going to do it then. I have no idea, we shall see I guess! :) I am just really excited and really happy and I feel good about this. Only time will tell, and I think possibly sooner rather than later ;)
I hope you all have been doing well! Anything good happening on the Bleach front? Been a looooooooooong time since i"ve read or watched anything!
