MERRY
CHRISTMAS
and some
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!!
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!!
RAOUL
No more talk of darkness,
Forget these wide-eyed fears.
I'm here, nothing can harm you
My words will warm and calm you.
Let me be your freedom,
Let daylight dry your tears.
I'm here, with you, beside you,
To guard you and to guide you . . .
CHRISTINE
Say you love me every waking moment,
Turn my head with talk of summertime . . .
Say you need me with you,
Now and always . . .
Promise me that all you say is true -
That's all I ask of you . . .
RAOUL
Let me be your shelter,
Let me be your light.

A world with no more night . . .

To hold me and to hide me . . .

Then say you'll share with me one love, one lifetime . . .

RAOUL
And soon you'll be beside me!
CHRISTINE
You'll guard me, and you'll guide me . . .
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 ... :-\
