My Heart

So life has been really wonderful lately...sans the wisdom teeth extraction that occurred two days ago, which, I must say, worst experience ever!! I've still got a little chipmunk-cheekiness going on, but other than that and the constant reminder of thread in my mouth and the inability to open my mouth wide enough to fit a gum ball and of course the problem that would pursue the realization that my jaw is too weak to chew a gum ball...I'm doing alright.

Anyhow...I'm getting really excited for the holiday season! I know I wasn't at all last year, what with getting demoted and being broke for months on end and my car breaking down and yada yada yada...I just couldn't get into the holiday spirit. This year's going to be different, I assure you. I can't wait to get our tree and decorate it in every obnoxious manner we know and purchase gifts we're dying for the other to open right away but force ourselves to wait until Christmas morning. I'm excited...life doesn't scare me anymore. Last year, everything was wrong...and although this year hasn't been perfect by any means, I've learned that it doesn't need to be...as long as I'm fighting for my happiness, I think I'll be just fine...better than fine even.

I'm waiting on a ring...I know I've been waiting on this ring for years now, and I look back and find it absolutely incredible that Drew and I aren't married yet...but I know he's ready now...and more than that, everything seems in place for us to do our fade out, riding horse back into the sunset bit. Financially, I think we're both in a good place, and I think that's been something that's been weighing on him a lot more than me. But I know it's coming...the proposal...I just want it, so then I can go ahead and get all pretentious and start saying things like, "My fiance this," and "My fiance that." And don't let all this joking fool you...I'm so in love it's ridiculous...to come home to my best friend, to know that he's got my back in any and all situations, that we can do anything or nothing at all and it'll still be the best time...I found my heart! <3

I wanna branch out more into my whole 'friend' world and how that puzzle piece has been found, but it's dinner time, so I gotta be on my way...PEACE!
