Hurry Up and Wait.

In college I would always need to hurry up to stand at the bus stop and wait for it to come. Or we would need to hurry up to class and wait for the GSI's because they're running late. Well now, I feel like I'm starting that pattern again. I hurry up to do something, just to wait for the next thing to happen. Why can't things run smoothly? Hurry up to the bus stop and right when you get there the bus arrives? Why am I in such a rush to grow up? What is the purpose of my life? Lately I feel like I've been pushy about the wedding, I used to feel in a rush to buy a house (but I still think that if I had the means, I should have), I feel like I'm in a constant hurry to do things and finish. What do I do when I'm finish?

Should I be anxious for March 6th to arrive? It's the first day of our trip to Costa Rica. But at the same time, I don't want it to get here so quickly because Jon hasn't gotten his passport yet, Jon hasn't email the hotel about the activities yet. Should I email them? I've been asking him for about 2 or 3 weeks now and he hasn't done it. On the other hand, when March 6th arrives and I'll be making my way to Costa Rica, it's going to be a bittersweet day at work. So what is the hurry of getting to March?

I feel like I have a lot of things going on in my head. I'm glad I already filed taxes, I took care of bank accounts, I took care of the goods, but now I still need to take care of my money and follow up on the ownership of my car. When I sleep, I feel like I am worrying and planning my day in head, AS I SLEEP! I feel overwhelmed sometimes. I'm glad Jonathan is able to come often and visit me, or else I would go crazy. AND my room is now relaxing, welcoming, and peaceful, so I can now rest when I'm home.

I'm a mess. I wish work wasn't so secretive. I don't like secrets, especially when it affects a lot of people. aaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

New Pillows (for Nancy) and New 42" TV (for Jon)

Fun weekend with my love once again :) We ended January with less money than we made this month... kinda

Saturday Jonathan and I had a nice romantic date with fun and jokes throughout the night :)
Sunday we ran a bunch of couple errands like a married couple. We went to Sam's Club, Bed Bath and Beyond, Costco, Ikea and Target. We had so much fun, making each other laugh and trying to jam a huge tv box into my tiny car.



And I returned the brown pillows that I wasn't too sure of and bought orange world map pillows. At least Jon liked these better than the embroidered ones.


Thanks babes for a fun weekend!

Remodeling My Room - Almost Done!

I am almost done! I am loving the way things are turning out!

Yesterday I bought white matching pillow cases for my 4 pillows, my down comforter, white duvet, curtains, a curtain rod, and decorative pillows (which I'm not too sure of yet). My bed is almost done, just need minor details here and there added to give it some color. My window is done! It's got modern blinds, curtains, and a curtain rod! My walls still need some work. When I went to Ikea yesterday I was tempted to buy the painting from my favorite Showroom model, but decided to wait and buy real art.

2 people for 2 years, 2 months and 2 days

Jonathan and I have officially been together for 2 years, 2 months, and 2 days as of today! I love you with all my heart my love. Thank you for a fun and relaxing weekend. I hope we have many of these to come, without the long distance part. Thank you for these fun memories and for the rest to come!

Thanks to the CAL v USC LBSA Tailgate, I found my Love.

Remodeling My Room Pt 3

When Evey was here, she, Kevin and I painted our room: YELLOW! I love it! I am one step closer to getting my room looking like an adults room. I emptied out the bookshelf, took the mini blinds off and the long dirty verticals and I replaced them with new feux blinds!

Thank you Evey and Kevin for all your help that day! I had lots of fun working on this with you two!


Now we just need bedding! I already bought a down comforter and just need the duvet, white king size pillow cases, and wall decoration!

Quick Bullet Point Updates

It's 8am and I haven't gone to sleep yet...

Personal:
-Jon and I have booked our flight and hotel for Costa Rica!!! I know which activities I want to do there and almost everything is set to go. We are beginning to discuss our next vacation, Jonathan is being very unselfish and mentioned going on our East Coast excursion going to as many baseball games and visiting as many baseball stadiums. And we also mentioned going to the All-Star Game! Which shocks me but makes me happy :)

-I miss Jon with all my heart, since he got placed and I went through holidays and inventory, we've only seen very little of each other. He's now beginning to work 6 day work weeks as well. I wish you well at work baby love, go get them truck load of loans!

Remodeling my room:
-My new orthopedic bed is amazing, I love it! I've emptied out the bookshelf and I'm in the process of trying to get rid of it. I took out the vinyl mini blinds and the vinyl verticals, and I replaced them with wider deux blinds. I am currently shopping for curtains and I'm waiting for the weather to be nice to paint my room mustard yellow. I already have the paint and the team ready to go. I am so excited!!! As I was emptying out my bookshelf one night, I thought to myself, "all the furniture Evey and I had in this room when we had just moved in is all out except for this bookshelf and now I'm taking it out." We used to have 2 twin beds, 2 desks, 2 desk chairs, a night stand that my mom took to her room, and that big bookshelf. Sorry bookshelf, you're coming out today.

Work:
-Just as the 2009 holidays were ending, I was hit by inventory. Just as inventory was around the corner, I was thrown a mens presale event to plan for. This is a never ending story because we were recently informed that we now have a deep dive to prepare for as well toward the end of the month. My inventory just ended about 2 hours ago and I realized on my drive home that I have about 600 dress shirts to fold. Do you know how long that is going to take? That means that everyone who opens must come in 1 or 2 hours before so we can tackle that monster that flared up again. In the mean time I will mention success with 91% participation, HIGHEST IN THE STORE, and 4.2 apps per 40 hours, 2nd highest. I plan to buy Jamba Gift cards for my team as a thank you for all their hard work.

My week has already been approved, and we are just waiting on Jonathan's. I also hope my Saturday was approved off so that we can take off Friday night, Saturday morning midnight/1am flights to arrive at Costa Rica around 2pm.

I have ideas of which hotels I want to stay at, which activities, which flights I want to take. I'M SOOOOO EXCITED!!!

I'm debating rather to stay at the Cala Luna Tamarindo Hotel or the Ocotal Beach Resort. If we stay at the Cala Luna and get an activities package it would cost $1800 including 5 activities (and almost ALL activities cost $100/person) or the Ocotal Beach Resort for $813 and we pay for the activities separate.

I just ordered waterproof camera case and waterproof personal items bag from Amazon and they should be getting here by next week.
