Stressed But Happy...

Ahh... where to begin. On Monday night, I proposed to Adriane and she said yes. *breathes out slowly* This was not supposed to be stressful. I knew what the answer would be but it still had me nervous. I had been think about how to do it for quite some time but I guess it didn’t hit me till I went to pick her up for the evening. After I asked her she was speechless, teary-eyed and took about 15 secs to answer. Like I said, I knew what the answer would be but sheesh, I almost had a heart attack. When she finally said 'yes,' it was very soft. I heard it because I couldn’t really do anything else. Its weird, its like everything else just ceased to exist. This is weird for me because usually I am paranoidly aware of everything around me. It was a good evening and her parents thought that I did well so that counts for something.

I am leaving to BM on Sat morning and still have a lot of packing to do. This wouldn’t be such a big deal except that I am also moving out of my current location to another one in SLO. Adriane and I are moving into a place over by Laurel Lane. It is a one bedroom mobile home but has a day room and lots of space for two people. The rent is dirt cheap and the mobile home is in pretty good condition. We also have a kick-ass landlord who is very reasonable. Adriane found out about this a couple weeks ago and we were given a 4 day window to decide before it went to someone else. We decided to grab it because both of us know how hard it is to find housing in SLO around the time when school is starting. So basically, I am going to be busy as hell for the next couple days. *smiles* My mind has already left for BM and its just torture. I haven’t felt this excited for so long since graduating from HS.

On the work front, all things seem to be going well and I eagerly await a review and hopefully a raise. Ahh, more money. Despite what other people say about Dancris, I like it here and since we are growing, it means more opportunities for me. Plus, it’s in SLO which is a HUGE benefit. All in all, things are looking up. It’s always nice when life takes a break from sucking.
