Happy New Year!


I hope everyone has a

Safe and Happy

New Year!!




Ending of 2005

So, Ken asked me to officially move in, and we got a new bed. I am so excited! I just can't wait to sleep in and fully experience the magic of this bed! I also need to get to sleep before midnight, so I can get a full night rest before I have to get up for work in the morning. I'm supposed to get up for work at 6am but because I don't get to bed until late I've been getting up at 7am. Bleh. Not to mention that sometimes I get woken up in the middle of the night . . .

This weekend is New Years weekend. Saturday is going to be dinner at my parent's house with Lobster Tail and other good stuffs. Then off to Jude's for the party. I doubt I'm going to drink much just because I haven't really wanted to lately. Maybe I'll pick something up for myself so I don't have to pay $10 to drink from the Keg. I have to pick up some wine anyway, so I'll just kill two birds with one stone.

The rest of this week and next week are going to be awesome. I work a full day today, which is alright, but I have half a day tomorrow. Next week I have Monday off, work Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, leave Thursday night for Oregon and have off until the Wednesday after. I'm excited to go to Oregon and meet Kens' mom. Ken is making me a bit nervous though. I'm kind of "picky" when it comes to food, so I hope I don't accidentally insult his mom by not eating certain foods. I'm going to try my best and I hope that will be good enough.

Back to work I guess. I fixed up my MySpace yesterday during work, so I really don't have anything else to do to keep me occupied today. I'll figure something out.

Christmas

... was totally awesome! And I have the best boyfriend EVER!!

Ken and I spent Christmas Eve at his Dad's house. It was quiet with just the 3 of us, but nice. I actually ate sushi. Christmas Day we spent at my parents house. Talk about a lazy day! We brought bagels for breakfast, after going to about 8 grocery stores, only to find ALL of them closed, except for the one Andrea works at. After breakfast we watched Fantastic Four and relaxed till dinner. Had ham and veggies for dinner, and watched some more TV as we digested dinner, until dessert. mmmm Creme Brule my FAV!

Yesterady was a hectic day as well. We woke up, had breakfast, and got ready to do our errands. We started out looking for a new bed (FINALLY!!), and then made our way to Staples and Best Buy. Man, I really don't like crowds! People are just plain stupid.

Since no one ever goes to Staples, it was nice. We got what we needed and headed over to Best Buy. What a zoo! Ken looked around for a bit, but didn't really find anything, plus we were both getting hungry and I was getting annoyed at people.

We headed to Souper Salad for lunch. I made myself a huge salad and got myself some blueberry bread, but Ken's been sick so he didn't eat too much. A

fter that we headed to Costco, which wasn't so bad. We picked up some laundry detergent and headed to Home Depot. I bought Ken new blinds for his room, plus curtain rods to hang his new curtains (I got him new sheets and accessories and new bath towels and stuff for Christmas).

Ken decided that instead of getting a box spring for the bed that we were just going to get some wood-stuffs, cut it to fit the frame, and put the bed straight on that. Fine with me! So we got the wood and headed over to his Uncles' house, so we could cut the wood and borrow his Uncles' truck to pick up the new bed. We hung out there a bit, cut the wood, got the bed, and his Aunt and Uncle bought us some pizza for dinner.

So, by now it's 7pm and we're both beat. Ken's friend Sara is in town so he wants to go meet her at Gameworks, again, I'm fine with that. We stay there for about 30 minutes, go back to Kens' house and start cleaning to make room for the new bed. By 11pm we were almost done. The bed was together, so all we really had to do was hang the blinds and the curtains, and then I had to make the bed.

So I was in bed by 11:45 or so, and man I was I tired! Sleeping in a REAL bed is so nice! Too bad I had to work today.

Half Day

I am so excited. I got to sleep in today and come in to work at 8, and we get to leave at noon! Yay for early closure! It kind of sucks only cause Ken has to work from 11-7, so I really don't have anything to do today ...

I'll probably end up doing some laundry and maybe do some cleaning ... maybe ... or I'll just play WoW! I'm already 1/2 way to lvl 44, but since I've been helping Ken lvl I haven't been doing any of my own quests (not like I can cause I'm a priest and I constantly get ownd).

But it's a lot of fun and and I'm glad I got back into playing. I only wish everyone else did too. It was a lot of fun when we had "our" guild and stuff. Oh well, I'll get over it.

I want to wish everyone a very

After being up in Flagstaff this weekend, I feel more in the Christmas Spirit. There wasn't any Snow (except for Ken) and it wasn't all that cold (I was so bundled up there was no chance I'd feel cold!). But it was quite relaxing and it's always nice to get out of town.

Merry Christmas


MERRY


CHRISTMAS

Laid-off

No, not me, thank goodness. But I did just find out that my company just fired a whole department! OMG! People who have been with the company for 25+ years, gone .. no nothing!

That's kind of scary! I've never been "fired" from a real job. I've always quit. It's easier that way. But I mean, this could happen to me, today ..

I suppose it would be good for me. I don't really 100% enjoy my job (it's more like 45%). It would force me to get a new one, and one that I would hopefully like more!



So we just had a quick meeting. I'm not getting fired after all. Good, I guess. I'll still probably look for a new job .. just don't know what or where yet!!

The Bahamas .. and so much more


Ok, so I'm back from the Bahamas .. I'm happy to be back, except for having to work. I missed my friends and most of all I missed My Love.

The Bahamas were a ton of fun. The weather was beautiful except for the humidity. The food and drinks were awesome, but expensive. The locals were nice and the shopping was just fantasic. I just wish that I had enough money to waste!! I came out ahead with a Prada purse and some jewelry (none of the really expesnive stuff though).

So, the day before I left, Thursday evening, I mostly just packed and then waited for Ken to come home from studying. Little did I know that he had a surprise for me. I was a bit emotional when he got home just cause I was going to miss him (yea I know, sappy). Which is when he decided to pull out a small box from an inside jacket pocket. Inside the box was a beautiful ring, channel set princess cut diamonds in white gold. I was, to say the least, taken back a bit. I wasn't expecting anything like that at all. At least not at that moment! I thought maybe for Christmas.. Of course, he was going to give it to me for Christmas, but decided to surprise me earlier.

What an amazing man he is. I can't enough of him. I love him so much!!!

So, since he gave me the promise ring, all I have to do is wait for the engagement ring!! Yes! hehe Of course we will wait for the right time, when we are both ready. It's going to be an amazing journey.


Check out the pics from the Bahamas!!

It's a Phantom of the Opera type of day


RAOUL
No more talk of darkness,
Forget these wide-eyed fears.

Let daylight dry your tears.

To guard you and to guide you . . .

Leaving on a Jet Plane

All my bags are packed I'm ready to go
I'm standin' here outside your door
I hate to wake you up to say goodbye
But the dawn is breakin' it's early morn
The taxi's waitin' he's blowin' his horn
Already I'm so lonesome I could die

So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you'll wait for me
Hold me like you'll never let me go
Cause I'm leavin' on a jet plane
Don't know when I'll be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go

There's so many times I've let you down
So many times I've played around
I tell you now, they don't mean a thing
Every place I go, I'll think of you
Every song I sing, I'll sing for you
When I come back, I'll bring your wedding ring

So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you'll wait for me
Hold me like you'll never let me go
Cause I'm leavin' on a jet plane
Don't know when I'll be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go

Now the time has come to leave you
One more time let me kiss you
Close your eyes I'll be on my way
Dream about the days to come
When I won't have to leave alone
About the times, I won't have to say

So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you'll wait for me
Hold me like you'll never let me go
Cause I'm leavin' on a jet plane
Don't know when I'll be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go

Cause I'm leavin' on a jet plane
Don't know when I'll be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go

So it's been like a week or so since I last posted. Honestly, nothing new has been happening. Been working, kind of getting sick though.

Thursday I'm going to the Bahamas with my dad. I am so super excited for that. It's in the 80s there so it's going to be beautiful! It's my first time out of the country, so it's a bit scary just because I've never done it before. But it's a excited kind of scary, so it's cool!

I've also been spending a lot of time with Ken. I really enjoy it and it's bringing us closer than ever before and really strengthening our relationship. We're learning how to communicate when something is wrong. We also show so much affection when we are happy or need to be cheered up. I'm loving it! I couldn't ask for more.

I can't wait until school is over. Class tonight, then the final next Tuesday, then it's done! W00t!

Anywho, gotta get back to work. yay ... :-\
