It's the Season for Love, Apparently!
At the end of last month I was thinking about how mine and boyfriend's anniversary was coming up soon. We had discussed it in early March when we decided to purchase the Wii; we split the cost and called it our anniversary present to eachother. We're a progressive couple?
I woke up Monday morning pretty grumbly... boyfriend was going to be off of work for a few days so he was still sleeping, and I was just absently checking celebrity gossip blogs. I glanced down at the clock on the computer screen and hovered over it for a moment.
Busted! It was our anniversary!
I don't know how the damn date just crept up on me. I'd been thinking about it in the back of my mind, but for some reason I just kept thinking it was far off. Good thing we had decided previously on the Wii as a gift, otherwise I'd be in the DOG HOUSE! We went out for some Coldstone Creamery after work and, as always, I had a great time.
When people ask me how long we've been dating, I get really squirrelly. Maybe I feel like they'll think there's something wrong with us for dating so long, even though I know we're very different people than we were after 2 years of dating, 4 years of dating, 5, 6, 7, and now 8 years of dating! That's right, I said it outloud and published it on the internet... 8 years!
We don't get into fights, we have similar goals and beliefs, we very supportive of eachother and love to try new things, we get along great and have fun, we don't always share the blankets but we usually share the remote control... sometimes I'll even share food (except for warm, fresh baked cookies and most kinds of cake)! It just keeps working; I can't explain it and I don't want to.
In other very exciting news, a good friend who recently got engaged took me out to dinner on Tuesday night. We enjoyed our Thai food, talked and laughed, and then she said, "I have something to ask you."
If it wasn't for her recently being engaged I would have sworn that she was about to propose to me! That was not the case, but she did ask me to be the Maid of Honor in her May 2008 wedding!
The cost of having lots of male friends led me to think that I'd never be lucky enough to be anyone's Maid of Honor. I'm extremely excited to help her with her wedding. There will probably be many funny incidents ahead, as neither of us have been planning our respective weddings since we were five years old, so we're not exactly experts on the topic. Luckily again there is a lot of information out there, and if there's one thing I'm good at it's looking things up!
Wikipedia tells me that my pre-wedding duties will include:
As always, any advice in this endeavor is more than welcome!
