Well, we’ve officially passed the one week mark in living together and I have to say it’s not what I thought it would be. It’s actually a lot more than I thought it would be. I knew I’d be happy being able to see Chris’s face everyday and to actually go out and do things together, but the comfort that I feel being at home with him just amazes me. We just hang out for a while when I get home from work, make dinner together and then relax. We watch our favorite shows and movies and it’s nice that we can lay on the couch together and he can read a book while I watch TV or play a game. It’s the best feeling in the world to be with the one you love.
And I think I’m adjusting to cooking and cleaning pretty well. I haven’t let things get out of hand yet and we work together on things, like taking out the trash and doing dishes. We have a set date night. Friday’s are going to be our movie nights or a dinner out night. Doing both right now isn’t as affordable as we’d like, but we decided on an either/or until Chris is working. We saw Friday the 13th last weekend for Valentine’s Day. Hehe, yes a gory violent slasher on V-day. We’re good like that.
Speaking of Valentine’s Day, our first together was great, amazing. Chris got me flowers and a bear and some candy, and even wrote me a song and got a frame to put it in. I couldn’t have asked for anything more, and would have been perfectly happy with just being with him for the day but the extras were much appreciated.
I’m sure as time goes by we’ll get on each other’s nerves a bit and probably have an argument or two, but nothing will take away from the comfort and happiness I feel knowing that we’re finally together and we’ll never have to be apart again.
Coming into the weekend we couldn’t help but be excited. The week in general had been loaded with unpacking and getting the apartment setup. We had planned the weekend a few weeks back. It was a big weekend for us as it was to be one big weekend to celebrate my Birthday, our 9 month anniversary as well as Valentines day.
Valentines day was the day we settled to do everything on. We had little celebrations for our anniversary and my birthday. We picked up a few supplies to make drinks, margeritas and Appletinis(blame JD). But as I was saying Valentines day was our big night. The morning started with us waking up and exchanging Gifts, we got up and went and had some breakfast at IHOP, our favorite breakfast stop. Then we came home and relaxed. For dinner we headed to Texas Roadhouse and then hit up a movie afterwords. It wasn’t elaborate but we had a great day.
Next years planning begins now!
Well, the trip was long to get here but we made it. I flew down to Dallas on Saturday and helped Chris pack up all his things and load them into a U-Haul. It was tough work and we’re both still hurting pretty badly from it. We made the 5 hour drive down on Sunday and worked on moving in both of our things into our apartment. It’s going to be a tight fit but the important thing is that we’re finally together!
We’ve been slowly unpacking boxes and washing things and trying to figure out the best way to organize our stuff together. We bought a table and chairs last night, as well as our couch so we’re doing pretty good on those things. Hardwood floors are nice but they definitely live up to their name – hard, on the bare feet.
It’s been great so far getting to see each other all the time. We know eventually we’ll probably have times we’ll get on each others nerves, but we love each other and this has been a great step for us. I couldn’t be happier than to know that my best friend is right here with me everyday forever
