Sour Cream on a Spoon

its official.
i am happier then i have ever been in my life.

the 1st year of living together is almost up (april 15) and WE MADE IT!!! it was a long and trying year - sometimes we told each other to "get the hell out", sometimes one of us slept on the couch (only 1 time each in 1 year).... sometimes we screamed [a lot], sometimes we threw stupid objects at each other [memorable objects: ginger ale bottle (empty), sour cream on a spoon, ballet flats, water from spray gun at sink, sponge, pieces of cheese, balls, and many other fun things]. we survived. i said it last april - if we could make it through one year, we could make it thru anything. we went through major life changes together in that year - we both changed jobs, he moved to jersey, i moved out for the first time, our apartment almost burned down [thank god, NOT our fault].... just really crazy. it was so worth it. i'm so happy we took this step together. the funniest part is that way back in the day when we were "just friends" in college, for some reason i always saw this future with him. in some weird way. back then i didnt have these feelings for him in this way, but i always knew there was more there then what was showing. he definitely needed to grow up, and so did i. all the years of the bullshit finally paid off.

now its just a matter of waiting to "make it official" -
we had "the talk" last week. about the future, finances, engagement, house, etc. YIKES. i mean yikes in a good way. but it doesnt look too promising right now. he needs a new car, bad. and i know that is priority #1, i understand that. but i hate the idea of waiting a whole 'nother year. i guess its good. it probably wont be a whole year. but who knows. that means i'll be turning 26. thats a good age. then probably 27 when married. makes sense, right? i just really want a pretty piece of jewelry. call me crazy but i DO!
