Thankful

So I thought about the weekly arguments we have and I've come to the conclusion that our problems don't blow up when we are active or out and about. We went to Smuggler's Inn last Thursday to increase our knowledge of two stepping. It was actually cool because he did pretty good with me. I mean I'm no pro but I can do the basics and he was just learning. I would rather dance the night away with him even if he had two left feet, than to dance with someone else. Even going downtown to a bar to watch several football games is fun with him. Arguments are apart of a relationship but if I could diffuse a problem right before it starts, then I will. I just need to come up with more ideas to keep us active and having fun together. I really like to be spontaneous and not repeat the same things so sometimes it's hard. I am glad that he's not picky about the things we do together. I appreciate having someone who wants to do things with me and doesn't compalin about spending time with me. I thank God for sending me this companion. I couldn't imagine being without him.

New Ring

So this past Friday he decided to buy me a new ring. I absolutely love it. We have talked about it before but I guess I didn't think I would get it this soon. The ring I had before was pretty but I wanted something a little bigger and a lot better than what he gave his ex. I guess that was important to me because this is his second time around and I just want to feel special. He did let me know that he chose a ring without thinking about the size and style. He just knew that he didn't want to lose me again. I thought that was sooooooo sweet. However,  the new ring is absolutely beautiful and it shows how much he really loves me. He didn't have to get me something else but he did. Its extremely exciting to know that he aims to please me. I only want to do the same in return.

A Relaxing Weekend

Well Labor Day weekend was great! Not only did I have a break from teaching kids that cause mayhem, but I speant the whole time relaxing with my babe. Friday we finally made it to a Royals game. Um... they lost of course. Q pretty much watched me act silly while cheering for a losing team. Afterwards we went to Firefly to enjoy some real hip hop. I felt a little awkward because I had on tennis shoes and wasn't dressed appropriately. But I still had fun. Saturday we lounged and had dinner with my parents at Olive Garden. We really didn't feel like doing much so after dinner we just hung out at the house. Sunday for whatever reason we didn't wake up in time for church. Instead, we went and bought goodies for a beautiful picnic on a hill at the Plaza. It was sooooooo nice. We felt like we could lay there all night. Afterwards we went to the movies to see "Takers." Unfortunately, I fell asleep. I guess I had too much wine from the picnic. Monday was a day to just cuddle and do some house work. I guess this weekend was specail because I felt so close to him. There was no major arguments and I tried my hardest not to knit pick at every thing. This was actually the first weekend he referred to me as "Mrs. Jones." I'm so used to thinking that he should be lucky to be with me, but I believe that I'm also the lucky one.

Living Together

Well if you wake up to someone every day I'm sure more differences will appear. We barely argue about house keeping, but I do find myself knit picking about the little stuff. I guess his reaction to my knit picking is over the top and that is what causes huge arguments. But we know how to bounce back and that's for sure. We just attended a jazz thing with a live band this past Sunday in the Power and Light. It was great to be able to walk around, enjoy food, and listen to music together. I had a good time. It was amazing that the whole time we were there neither one of us drunk alcohol. We are fasting from certain things together in order to grow closer to God and better our relationship.So far things are working out for us. I'm glad that we pray together and are headed towards the right path.I even let go of some male friends that I thought would be hard to dismiss. It is all for the best.
