| I had the most AMAZING weekend!  Jon picked me up from work on Friday to go to the mountains (my bday present from him was a wknd in Linville/Grandfather Mtn). We got there that night and checked in, and woke up Saturday morning all nice and refreshed. Saturday we went to Linville falls and hiked a bunch around the falls and down to and through the gorge. Was definitely a workout, and so so fun! The weather was perfect too! Went to dinner that night, and then to a nearby town to watch fireworks. It was cold that night, but we were cuddled on a blanket and underneath one of his hoodies. Sunday, we woke up and went to Grandfather Mountain. It was so pretty and cool. Walked across the mile high bridge, did some more hiking. Went down Grandfather Trail (the most difficult one there), and became very aware of our mortality trying to scale the side of the mountain (very scary). We got to see some animals at the habitats, and walked around the museum. And then Monday, woke up and checked out. We went to Linville caverns, which was pretty cool, did some gem mining (so much fun lol), and then stopped at Wiseman's View before heading back home. Wiseman's view was gorgeous! (Best view of the gorge). This weekend couldn't have been more perfect! I really do have the bestest b/f ever!  | | |
| Was just sittin here thinkin about how lucky I am, and how sweet my baby's been lately. So happy and excited to move in together in just one more month! Just a few of the really sweet things he's done recently:
Taking me hiking and geocaching, I have so much fun doing that! Although I ended up with a blister on the bottom of my toe the other day because I wasn't prepared to hike 3 miles and had my rainbows on. But he carried me for a little while on the way back when we discovered said blister, and then gave me a sock to wear to help keep it from hurting and gettin worse. Not gonna lie, it was a lil gross, I hate feet, but it was still worth it and sweet lol.
And then yesterday he cooked dinner for me while I packed for this weekend, and even cleaned up the kitchen for me. And offered to drive to my parent's house for the weekend. Unfortunately, I can't take advantage of the last one b/c my dad and I have a few things to do to my car, so it'll have to be there. But still, it was very nice.
Life is def going pretty good. Had my final training session today with Roy for the new job responsibilities I'm pickin and know I'll be fine with doin them, and have an awesome summer planned to have fun and get ready to move. | | |
| Sooo glad I have a wonderful boss who loves me! lol. Been kinda puttin off tell him about movin to Greenville because I didn't wanna say anything too early. However, the time came this morning when I knew it was time, and this is how it went:
Me: You gonna be here all day?
Rob: No, but til around lunch
Me: Well, when you get a sec, and are in a good mood, can I talk to ya?
Rob: How bad is it?
Me: Depends
Rob: Come on in
Me: My boyfriend asked me to move in with him this fall when he moves to Greenville
Rob: Oh, that's not that bad, we'll figure something out and work with you. We don't want to lose you.
Me:
So yeah, that definitely takes a lot of pressure off. Only thing I really do that I can't do in Greenville is answer the phones, and I'm sooo glad to get rid of that part of my job, it's def not my fave thing. But they're gonna work out the kinks and let me work from Greenville, and possibly get a raise, but we'll see on that one. I like my job pretty good, and I love my boss (he even took me out to lunch today after the fact!), only downfall is no benefits. I can shop around though in Greenville some and see about gettin a job that pays more AND has benefits, but I'm not too worried about it. Nice to know that I'll still have a job and won't have to commute an hour and a half.
On another note, I am burning up!!! Something's gotta give w/ our a/c unit. It's set on 71, but it's 77 in here!!!  | | |
| Def been awhile (no surprise there  ) but things have been wonderful! I still have the bestest boyfriend in the whole wide world . He's smart and handsome and makes me feel very loved all the time. He's so great to me, and I couldn't ask for a better friend. I'm super excited, his bday present to me is going to be a weekend vacation in the mountains, just us. Which is absolutely great! He's about to start med school and be super busy, and don't get me wrong I'm also super excited about the week long vacation to the beach w/ his parents, but glad that we'll get a me and him vacation too. Also, I'm super excited for him about starting med school, and about moving to Greenville with him, AND moving in with him!  Def a lil nervous about moving in together too, but more excited than anything. I think it'll be fun and a good step for us. It'll also help us out with being able to see each other etc while he's in school cuz I'm sure our schedules won't be the same.
As excited as I am about the move and everything, I'm also a little overwhelmed with everything and this summer coming up too, been stressin me out a lil bit. I have pretty much every weekend through the end of July scheduled with something: 1: bday party, 2: Father's Day (probably be in Rocky Mount since my own dad will be fishing), 3: Jon's Aunt's fundraiser (she has cancer and no health insurance, so we're having a barbecue for her), 4: July 4th (either be at the beach or the mountains), 5: Erika's 30th bday, if we went to the beach the previous weekend, we'll probably be in the mtns, if we went to the mtns, Erika has invited Jon and I to come to VA to hang out w/ her and her b/f, 6: party at the lake to celebrate Erika's 30th bday, her divorce being final, and a friend of my parent's 50th bday, and that sunday is when we leave for the beach for a wk, 7: back from the beach, 8: last wknd in july, if we haven't hit the mountains yet we're goin, if we have already gone, the 1 wknd i have no plans (which will probably be spent moving him or both of us to greenville).
So yeah, in all of the fun and madness listed above, I have to find time to look at condos to possibly buy (which we're goin next weekend to look at the last couple prospects), sign a lease or get the mortgage set up and everything so we can actually move that way, AND of course, I have to find a job that pays at least what I'm making here so that I can pay all of my bills and spend the money I'll be saving by living together on my car/loan payment (buying my sister's honda from her) and possibly using it to break my lease if I find one before Sept that will pay ok, and hopefully new job will have benefits, cuz some health insurance would be nice. Really, the finding a job/money thing is the only thing I'm really worried about, and I'm pretty sure I'll be able to find something, but until I do, it's really gonna stress me out. Already have my resume updated, and there's always the possibility that my current job will keep me and let me work from home, maybe come in a day or 2 a week to the RDU office, but not gonna rely strictly on that until I'm told so (gonna tell them about the move within the next couple weeks and see what happens). I also have an awesome boyfriend who is helping me look and having his friends in the area ask around too, so that's a big help, and definitely appreciated. Gonna be pretty awesome when I finally do find a job though and it all really has a chance to sink in and happen. Can't wait!  | | |
| I've never had someone turn me into such a girl! It's crazy. I know I'm gonna see him again in a wk and a half, and he's only been gone for an hour tops, and I miss him like crazy already.  It gets so strange here without seeing him and/or his stuff, etc. It's ridiculous, and so amazing how much I love him. 
Last night wasn't really what either of us was expecting it to be, but we still had fun and realized that we still like to go out on occasion. I think we're gonna try to start goin out bout 1-2 times a month so we don't forget that we are still young, and trying to make a couple friends, cuz I'm seriously lacking in that dept. Don't get me wrong, I do have a few really good friends, but it's hard to hang out sometimes either because of conflicting schedules, distance, or because of them being single and not bein able to hang out w/ both of us. Granted we used to be bad about hangin out w/ other people and not makin em feel like the third wheel, but we've gotten significantly better about it. But yeah, hopin to find some couples to hang out w/ as well cuz it's nice to have couple time too and not have to worry about it as much.
Anyways, just figured I'd update real quick. Bout to go try to occupy my time so I don't sit here and mope all damn day. lol.
