I feel like I have a lot to write about, and I've been meaning to do so for awhile now. First things first...Jim proposed! It happened before Christmas. We were decorating the tree, and he told me to pick out a couple last ornaments to put on it. I looked through what was left and there was an ornament that had "Marry Me" written on it in glitter glue. When I saw it, my brain couldn't quite comprehend it. Then it slowly sunk in and I turned around. Jim got down on one knee and asked me to be his wife. I was in complete and utter shock. I said "Yes! Of course!". It took awhile for me to really take it all in, but when I did, I was so incredibly happy. Now I have to figure out what to do for a wedding! We have to pay for it ourselves, so it's kinda difficult to plan right now. It really depends on how much we can save. Unless we just do something small and low-key, or run away to a tropical island by ourselves and do it. Even if we went "all-out", it would still be something tame. Neither one of us wants a big wedding, but even not-so-big weddings have their expenses.
The last few months at work have been crazy. I was working 60+ hours a week for a good amount of time. Granted, when my monthly paycheck was almost double what it usually is, it didn't seem quite so bad. But I was always tired and developed an eye twitch (which has since stopped). Work and other things were pissing me off and really getting to me for awhile. I was getting depressed and fed up with everything. But that seems to have just been a rough patch that has passed (depression hasn't really been an issue for me in the past 5 or so years, so when I feel it creeping back it always makes me concerned).
We got caught up on some new shows. Breaking Bad and Game of Thrones. Both are freaking amazing. There are 4 seasons of Breaking Bad so far, but Netflix only has the first 3 so that is all we have watched. But holy crap! The series starts off intense and just keeps getting more and more INTENSE! I love it, but I need the next season! Game of Thrones only has 1 season so far but it is so good! I'd been hearing good things about it for awhile but just never had the time to sit down and watch it. I'm finally learning everyone's name so I can stop referring to people by my nicknames for them...Boromir, the Malfoys, the dude who looks like Dave Navarro, the guy from The Full Monty/Still Standing, etc. I highly recommend Game of Thrones and Breaking Bad!
Lets see, what else...our heat pump broke and we were without heat for 2 weeks. We have a home warranty, but they were jerking us around so much it was ridiculous. We should have had it fixed within a day or two, but it took 2 weeks. And we still had to pay for a good chunk of everything. I've always heard bad things about home warranty companies and now I have experienced it first hand! Not cool.
Well, this is a pretty long update, and I can't think of anything else to say, so I will end it here!
