birthdays, married life, and good old country livin

[synapticjava]

First - thanks for all the birthday wishes:)  It was pretty low key, which was actually kind of nice.  I worked in the morning, came home and napped, and Frank surprised me with flowers when he came home.  Our neighbors, Shelly and Russ and their son, Evan, and baby Aaron brought over cupcakes and little Evan (he's possibly the cutest 2 year old ever) gave me a birthday card and sang me a song.  Then me and Frank went to dinner, and that was about it.

We're still getting settled into our place, but it's shaping up pretty well.  I do have to say that if this is anything like married life, count me in.  I get to go to bed and wake up next to my guy every night and morning.  It's a little difficult to get used to being an "us" and a "we" and an "and".  But I really like it.  I'm even enjoying the meaningless squabbles about dishes and laundry.

I am really loving it here.  I've already met and hung out with more neighbors than I did living two years in Chicago.  Work's going great (I may be up for another promotion in a month or two, but it's circumstantial) - everyone seems to like me.  It's long shifts, but reliable, and it's nice to feel needed there.  I don't think I'll ever get used to working at 4am though. 

It really seems like things are pretty perfect for me right now, and I'm retardedly happy.



BTW - if anyone wants my new address, comment below and I'll email it or screen a reply back.

I am so so very happy for you sweety. I haven't commented for a while but I have been reading your entries with growing joy, it's wonderful to see you finally getting what you've always wanted even if you didn't always know that you wanted it.

Many hugs and much love and best wishes to you both, married life can be wonderful indeed.

In celebration of finding the address book that's been lost since we moved in I hereby request your address so I can mail you goofy Texas postcards at some point.

It's the life, isn't it?


And as long as you have a long commute to work you may as well start at four am and miss rush hour, right? Maybe?
