Waiting For The Curveball...

I'm so happy I never have to worry about "waiting by the phone" ever again.
I'm so happy I've found my forever in you.


We went to Daytona the other day and it was absolutely wonderful and much needed. It was the most perfect date I've ever been on; Beach, arcade games, funnel cakes and ferris wheel rides.
But anything with him is something amazing...


I have my first training day of my new job on Sunday, and I'm pretty stoked about that. The way things seem to be going financially, it doesn't really look like I need it. But the extra money during the week should be nice, and I'm definitely pretty excited. Everything seems to be looking up...

I stopped drinking for the most part. I was certainly starting to see a pointlessness in the partying and social drinking. Dave had been driving a big point in for a very long time and it wasn't one I understood until after the last party I came home from: Partying is what single people do to flirt and look for somebody to hook up with.

I kept arguing back that it was just something fun to do with friends on the weekends, and completely harmless. But I started to see that if you take away the drunkeness and the flirtatiousness, you really don't have any "fun" at all. It isn't something I need in my life, and probably never was. It's definitely not something I'll ever need again. I've found what I need in Dave, and I'm really not interested in doing all of the "single" things I did before. I haven't been to a club since we've been together, and I've been to enough parties to count on one hand since then as well. If I'm going to drink, it's going to be casually, at home, with my guy. That is the new rule. It just doesn't have the appeal that it had before, and I finally did come to realize that Dave was right about the partying. I'm getting older, and I'm starting to settle down. I feel past those things. I'll probably still go out and have a good time with friends every now and then, but nothing like I did before. If I had the choice to go out on a Friday night or stay home with my guy, cook some dinner and cuddle up for a movie, there really wouldn't be much of an option for me. Dave takes top priority, and I know he feels the same about me.

We're doing great financially, and the saving and living so frugal has finally started paying off. Apparently I've been building great credit, because my credit limit just increased. We're both getting more hours and more extra money through the week we didn't budget for, and our bills seem to be paying themselves easily. Life is definitely heading up; though I've come to realize that those times when life seems to be going great, you're always thrown a curveball. But after recent circumstances and life events, I think I'm more than well prepared for a curveball, whenever it may come.

...So bring it on, life. I'm not scared at all :)
