6 Months


Today I celebrate 6 months with this guy.
Yeah, yeah, I'm going to get all sappy on you, but how can I not!

Here are the things I have come to love about this man:

1.) His never ending talk about cars and how he will stop halfway through when explaining them to me because he realizes I don't understand the language he is speaking. And each time I remind him that I may not understand, but I will always listen. Some day I'll actually be able to understand a little bit of what he is saying. 

2.) The fact he calls me "baby" in the way I call him "baby" because its distinctly my way and he has fully embraced it.

3.) The willingness to give me a back rub when my back is killing me after a long day of work and never asking for one in return.

4.) His understanding of my Starbucks addiction and the time he surprises me by re-loading my card because he knows I waste too much money on it.

5.) How he will never ask me to pay and is always shocked when I pull out my card before he does. He always puts me first.

6.) The way he loves his mom. He would take a bullet for her!

7.) His shyness of speaking of his accomplishments. While I know he can brag, he can also be the most humble man. 

8.) His comments that bring tears to my eyes about how thankful he is for me, how beautiful I am compared to all the other girls in the world, how lucky he is he got me, and so many more wonderful comments.

9.) The fact he is the first man I've dated that I haven't tried to run from because I fully trust him and can't imagine one day without him.

10.) How he tries to treat me like a princess by taking me to fancy dinners or planning extravagant outings even though he knows I'd be happy with pizza and a One Tree Hill Marathon.

11.) Speaking of One Tree Hill, the fact he is totally engrossed by the show and looks forward to watching it as much as I do.

12.) His willingness to let me get my way and watch One Tree Hill instead of watching the new Top Gear.

13.) The fact he wants me to continue to surprise him with lottery tickets even though each one I buy is never a winner.

14.) His willingness to listen to me talk about everything that's on my mind and then gives me encouragement to do whatever I think is best because he just wants me happy.

I could probably go on for hours and hopefully in another 6 months I'll be giving you even more reasons on why I love him so I'll save it for later.

Enjoy the sappiness while I enjoy the batting cages!

Current Thoughts

I've got to say it. I have missed blogging. For the last few months it seems like I've written one post a month and I miss my every day blogging. But I also haven't had any ideas to write about. I've been writing paper after paper for school and it seems like it takes all the words I have to say even if they are not the words I want to write about. I haven't stopped reading my favorite blogs and I am a little jealous that they do not have to waste all their words writing papers. 

I guess I am back in the mode again where I am questioning whether being in school is a good idea or not. I've been considering taking a semester off to see what it would be like, but I don't like the idea of being a semester behind. I keep coming back to the curiosity of if I will actually become a counselor after I graduate or not. Yes, I like what I am learning, but I guess I am wondering if that is enough to keep me going. I'm good at school. I get my assignments in on time, I do my best to pay attention in class, and I am letting what I am learning sink in.

Its just so mundane. I've been at this for 17 years now. That's a long time to be studying, sitting at a desk or table, and listening to someone else teach you about the one thing you want to do. And then I realize any thing I really want to do requires time in school. If I stopped doing counseling, I'd want to be an event planner, but that also requires more time in school. I also want to get into the matchmaking field but that also requires some kind of certificate. 

I don't want to work in the restaurant industry forever. Yes, the money is really great, but its not become mundane. Maybe I am just nervous that counseling will become mundane after I spend a few years in the field. Maybe I am nervous that I'll never be satisfied? The thoughts are overwhelming. With school, these are constantly running through my head. It's a lot to hold altogether. 

And this is where I've come to:


I'm not sure what feels right at the moment, but I'm looking to discover it.
