Not much to report other than I am so happy right now. I'm in a really good place.
Things with me and Chris are going exceptionally well. Don't think either of us has ever felt so strongly about anyone before. Especially him. He seems to have changed a lot. I don't think he'd ever dare or need to cheat on me like he has his past girlfriends which is good to know. I am starting to trust him more and more. We've been together just over a month now & spent nearly everyday together & haven't argued once really. Other than certain strops I've thrown, which aren't arguments, just me being moody lol. I feel so comfortable around him.
There's a few things he does that I don't like [drink, smoke, drugs], but I don't like anyone doing them but I never stop anyone else doing them so I'm not gonna stop him. It's his life and his decisions. Also, all of my friends [except Sarah but that was to be expected] seem to have accepted him now which makes me really happy as I was rather worried about it. Obviously they knew we'd been through a hell of a lot of shit over the 8 months before we became an item so they were just looking out for me & didn't want me to be unhappy but think they can see i am now.
My parents have warmed him into the family as well which is nice too. They can see how happy I am when I'm around him so they just want that for me all the time. I've finally met his family too and they are all lovely. Though to them they think we've only been together a few weeks so don't quite get how serious we are about each other cuz he was with his ex before obviously & so they don't know that we've actually known each other n been seeing each other for 9 months now. Hopefully they like me though.
My mother on the other hand is very keen. Seeing as I've been staying at Chris' every night basically & that she knows how uncomfortable I feel around his best friend Steph [who I think loves him secretly], she's been suggesting me move in together lol. Then suggesting houses that are for rent near home. Which again sparks Chris off that we should buy Stephs flat off her and move in there lol. Though he doesn't need any help, he's always talking about moving in together, marriage, having kids etc. I'm like errrrrm! lol. Said to them both, it's a bit soon lol but realistically, I suppose it's not, we've known each other a long time & having spent nearly everyday & night together recently, we know we can live with each other easily enough. The marriage/kids can wait though please haha.
Even found myself looking at the houses my mom suggested when I drive past them, then there was an advert for 2 rooms to rent in a house with someone from the other office at work n i actually took the number down for Chris to ring. It's bad :| But argh, somehow feel's right as well? He wants us to get our own place, with a mortgage etc in Feb when he'll hopefully be in the fire service & earning a lot so who knows, maybe we'll rent somewhere now until then or maybe we'll wait. Feel's a tad rushed but meh, don't really care. If my parents don't mind then why not?
Eee he has his firefighter's interview on the 12th Nov, so excited & nervous for him. I really hope he gets in & all is fine as I know how much he wants it. Though he passed all the previous tests ok so think he'll be alright. Then he'll just have his medical left I think and should start in January.
Other than that, spent some time with Lulu, Lisa, Protes, Daisy, Emma & Nat Blonde before I went on holiday, that was cool. I always miss everyone so much. This year/summer seems so weird. We've hardly seen each other whereas past years we were all always together. I need to try see people more cuz I count all you guys as my closest friends, even over my friends at home who i see all the time. But I'm a bit rubbish lol. Destressing though that everyone is going back to uni soon, but gives me an excuse to come visit. Really weird how Alex is on the other side of the world as well. Then how much everyone is growing up & growing apart. I really hope we don't drift any further. Was quite upsetting when me, Daisy & Emma were reminiscing about MITO. I miss those times so much. I wish I lived closer to London so I could just pop out and see everyone whenever people are home. We definately need a big meet up soon. I wanna hear all about like Becki & Char's trip, how Lulu & Adam are, Protes' trip to NY, how everyone starting uni [or is returning to uni] gets on. So we need to organise something people haha! Excited though that we're gonna go to L.A. next summer though, we still are right? It'll be such a laugh & be so good to all be together again for a few weeks. Be like tour. Speaking of which, although I'm only doing two dates, be well good to see everyone again. Just hope I manage too, like that people do the same ones.
My holiday was good. Just a whole week of laughter. Seattle was a shithole. Didn't like it much. Though apparently we did pick the worst place to stay and there is nice parts to it, oh well. Doubt i'd go back though even after hearing theres nice bits. The zoo was fun though, i enjoyed that. Vancover was cool, not that I got chance to see much of it. The hotel we stayed in was attached to a shopping centre, therefore what need was there for me to go outside haha? I spent most of my time there when i wasn't seeing BSB, in American Eagle lmfao. Victoria, I was gutted about this place, because it turned out to be the best and prettiest place we went too and we were only there really for half an day. I was beautiful, I'd definately go back there and spend more time exploring. Was really wicked to see BSB again, didn't get to spend as much time with them as we did in Europe as they have all stopped drinking now so they were boring & stayed in their rooms most the time. But still, was good. I love AJ, he's so friendly n awesome. Also his mate Chris was there with them again as well, so was really good to catch up with him again. He well loves me haha. Was awesome spending time with the girls too, we just constantly made each other laugh hysterically. There was one evening meal that we had in Seattle where I couldn't actually breathe and had to go back upstairs n wee before i wet myself. There were times where i got a bit stressed n annoyed, as did others but suppose it'd always be the case with anyone. Definately a great trip though, wish i was still there. Roll on the next Backstreet tour.
Ermmmm what else...mom & dad are fine. They are buying a cottage just the other side of Bridgnorth as somewhere to go when they want a weekend getaway or us kids do. Looks cute. Literally got like 4 rooms haha. Joe is good too, things with him and his gf seem to be going good as well which makes me smile. He's a bit annoyed how I can stay at Chris's though and he can't stay at Shardey's or have her stay at our's haha. But not my fault, Chris isn't allowed to stay at our's either.
But yeah, all is gravy, got lots coming up too. Going to see the Script again soon which I can't wait for, love them. Then got lots of Mighty Boosh gigs coming up too look forward too, NOELY <3. Plus McFly tour, which means seeing everyone yaaaaay! I miss McFly a lot too. Just don't know what they are doing anymore & when i do, can't go cuz it's too far or clashes with something :( I want to see them soon though, miss Harry Judd. Found a notebook the other day with random notes from HJ [plus loadsa others like SOD, V etc] in it, made me smile. Then I guess before we know it, it'll be xmas/new year again! This years gone rather fast I feel.
Anyway, chatting crap, bye.
