well, I had to leave Drew today. It was quite sad. Everytime I leave, it gets harder and harder...which I guess is good since the wedding is getting closer & closer. I looked through my calendar and I have something every weekend until the the weekend after the wedding because we'll be on the honeymoon.
we had pre-marital counseling today. i didn't know what to expect so i guess it went fine. we are doing the taylor johnson temperament analysis so I had to fill something out for how I think I am and then for how I think Drew is and vice versa. I love things like that because I love to learn about personalities etc but I hate stuff like that because my answers vary depending on the situation. For example: Q: Are you a blunt person, who says cutting remarks (something like this) A: yes, I am a blunt person but I'm not usually blunt unless you ask my opinion & I don't walk around seeing who I can hurt with my cutting remarks. So, see? It depends. Basically I realized that Drew has a lot better qualities than I do - patience, understanding, compassion, calm etc.
we picked out the tuxes and we are going with something a little different (I've actually seen it a few times lately so I guess it's the new thing?) - which I LOVE. It took some convincing on Drew's part but once he tried it on, he agreed. He actually surprised me because I thought it was out of the question & he brought it up to the lady and she agreed with me...Yay for females working at the tux shop haha. So then he tried it on & voila - check that off the list.
i'm not a big valentines day girl. sooo we decided not to do anything and to save the money for my unemployment phase which hopefully will exist for like a week. anyways, he got me something & a really sweet card. look at him. :)
we looked at houses, just for fun, when I was down there. Just to see prices, neighborhoods, etc. Since I don't have a job it really puts a damper on actually buying a house but at least now we know whats out there. I didn't fall in love with anything but there are a few neighborhoods that I really liked. we will probably just rent next year unless I get a job down there like ASAP.
speaking of a job, please pray for me about this. i feel like the more prayers i get the better i'll handle it. otherwise I may just turn into a big ball of stress, worry, and anxiety which is no fun. i hate everything about looking for a job - updating the resume, interviews, etc.
well since i decided to write a novel for my blog tonight, i'm going to go to bed.

Alicia... I think you do going around seeing who you can hurt with your words...just kidding. You have lots of wonderful qualities that make you fit perfectly with Drew. And I know you'll find a job somewhere, just try not to stress about it!
ReplyDeleteI hear you on the comments! No one ever comments on my blog! It makes me think no one reads it, so it isn't too motivating to post anything.
