The end of bad things, and start of new
Lemme tell yall something, if it weren't for all of you, my friends, I would have had a horrible time while back here in MN. Cuz other then the times we've shared, this stay has been horrible. Not only is Ashley NOT here with me, and us not married right now, my whole family is unhappy to say the least with me. They all believe I'm making a huge mistake having her come down with me. And it'll hurt her more then me basically. Here's just the happenings of the last 24 hours as a prime example.
Yesterday afternoon I got a call from the apartments in AZ that we'll be living at, and we got the apartment, then the conversation started between me and Ashley as when to bring her down and we came to the conclusion that it would be easier to get her to MN on Monday, and then we fly down together as originally planned. I'd known for a day or so that both my parents would most likely be working, thus unable to bring me to the airport on Tuesday when I leave. So I called my grandma, really about the only person I still believed that had my back, and wasn't against us like everyone else. I asked her for a dual favor, 1 if I could stay there Monday night and she takes me to the airport on Tuesday, and 2 if Ashley could stay there for only that night being as I was gonna have her come in that night. She said yes to both, so I ran back downstairs and got her ticket to fly in Monday night. My grandma told my mom (I planned on it) so when I got home from kareoke she talked to me saying that gram was unhappy and misunderstood the way I said it. She thought that I already had Ashley's ticket here, and was just searching for a place to stay. The plan was still in order, till about 1030 this morning.
I got a call from my grandma, and she was very upset, and was afraid that if the family found out that Ashley was here, all be it for just on night, not even 12 hours really, they would stop talking to her. At her age, she can't afford it, so long story short basically she was asking if I'd change my plan and not have Ashley stay there. To easy, we aren't staying there, that's right I'm not there either, we will stay at the airport. After that was decided, she continued to lecture me about forcing myself into a deep money hole that will be to hard to get out of. Now you have to understand that my grandma is the one who helped me get the tickets to MN, then to AZ, and I promised I'd be paying her back. I still fully plan on it, just not right away, I have somethings to take care of, the apartment etc. She will get her money back. But she brought up the small loan I'll be paying to finish my car (200/month till like October) and the bills, (electric, groceries etc) and said I have the army to fall back on, Ashley doesn't. People don't realize I have other ways to get what I want, and need. Ashley will be fine, as will I, I'm not breaking myself, if I was, I wouldn't be doing this.
Really the thing is, WE need people to leave us be, and let us start our lives together as we plan on. Doubt us, or support us it doesn't matter a whole hell of a lot. WE will be just fine. Not only am I now going through my whole family doubting, and hating us, but Ashley is going through the same stuff. It'll be nice when Monday gets here, and we are FINALLY back together, and no longer have to listen to the families bitching about their concerns. WE'VE HEARD THEM, AND DON'T CARE WE WILL BE JUST FINE!!!!!
Other then that, everything is going fine. Mom is taking me to the airport on Monday after she gets off work, we'll stop at grandma's so I can say goodbye to her, then she'll drop me off. After that, I'm alone till about 10 pm when Ashley's plane lands, then we are together forever. Our flight on Tuesday is at 11 to Phoenix, then a short lay over and our flight to Tuscon. All are welcome to call, my cell is always on. If you wanna chill with me, hit me up quick cuz I only have the weekend, then I'm gone for who knows how long.
Thank you for paying attention to the rant, you now know what I've gone through and have been up against.
