7 months ago

7 months ago...

- I was a nervous wreck, unsure if I wanted to go on another first date

- I had it all planned out, down to the timing of going to my appointment before the date, timing it all out

- I was calling friends, asking advice, telling them what the plan was

- I was telling people my plans, just in case the guy I'd met online was some kind of creep

- My coworker offered me some silky Valentine's Day boxers donated to the office

7 months ago...

- I met the man I am going to marry

- We went out for Italian, had amazing conversation, and I couldn't wait for another date

- I called my friends, said, "He's not some kind of creep" and was ready to see him again ("In public" of course!)

- I went home with a smile on my face and a kiss on the cheek.

Today is our 7 months, if you didn't catch my drift :) Tonight Nick made Chicken Parmigiana for us (his first real cooking endeavor!) and it was amazing. These 7 months have been more amazing than I could have ever asked for. Every day I am more thankful for the blessing he is in my life!

Goodbye, Farewell, Adieu!

This weekend we said goodbye to a dear friend, Melissa, who flying on a plane right now for Rwanda. Yay!

On Sunday afternoon we all got together to have food, company, and hot apple cider and say farewell to our dear friend.

Here are 4 of the 5 Columbus girls, together for one last picture. Now we are down to 3 from our original 5. At least the other two are both on the same continent!

Party attendees: Front (L-R): Heather, Renee, Julia; Back (L-R): Nick, Nikki, Emily, Melissa, Megan, Jeff.

Poll: Inappropriate?

It's time for all you readers to weigh in and tell me what you really think.

Yesterday, I posted pictures of our vacation in North Carolina on Facebook. We had a fantastic time on our vacation with family and great sight seeing.

But, here comes your opinion. The picture below (which, btw, you can click on to see the rest of the photos) was included. Some friends made comments about how it was PDA... not sure if they were kidding or serious.

What do you think? Is the picture posted here PDA? Should I have kept it to myself? Weigh in!

I got a whiteboard at work today! I am super excited to use it for my to-do list, as well as reminders for things that I do on a daily, weekly, monthly, and quarterly basis. Administrative nerds, unite!

APOW 9/16/09

So lately, my boyfriend has been getting me addicted to all sorts of video games. Bad, I know. But it's a good way to pass the time together, and I get super excited when I beat him. For example, I beat him for the first time this weekend, and it was a glorious moment. It may be the first and last time that happens.

It started innocently with some Nintendo 64. Played some Mario Party 2 & 3. And then, the boyfriend brought Mario Party to my house. It lives at my apartment. It gets played.

And then, Beatles Rock Band. Lots of playing. Fun times.

Then, this weekend, boyfriend brought his Wii to live at my apartment. Danger, Will Robinson, Danger. My favorite game which prompted the APOW?
I play in my free time to get better so that I can actually win!
