I'm buttoning up his buttons on his double breasted coat, and the warmth of his smile mixed with the stinging pain in his arm leave me speechless.He's handsome. My skin tingles, my cheeks blush, and I am left admiring him before he begins to sing me sweet, simple, solid compliments. He's tired and hungry, I'm content to the point of blissful. We wind up watching a cartoon, he falls to sleep long before I do. I use to try counting from a thousand to one to help me fall to sleep, counting the beats of his heart or the takes of his breath works better, they sooth me a perfect reminder that I'm alive and he is with me; and this moment right here right now is what serenity must feel like.
I've got more than any girl truly needs. I'm fortunate, I'm blessed. I lose sight of how amazing my life is more often than I should. I get lost in irrelevant stresses of every day life. I fuss over minor inconveniences which won't matter tomorrow or even in a minute. I need to count my blessings more often than I do, I'm sure it will help me keep sight of the things I find great joy in.
February ended beautifully, I'm in March now and in just a few short days I won't be a teenager anymore. I'm nervous and excited, but most of all I'm happy for my here and now. The future will be what the future will be, its up to me to make it there and remain on my road named Happy.

our first broke weekend...
This weekend was the first time my boyfriend and I have both been entirely broke, but it didn't make our weekend fall short of our normal happy, silly smiles, and giggle routine. If anything I really enjoyed catching up on sleep and lounging in my pajamas, as well as not having used makeup for a few days. Plus, the money we didn't blow on randomness is going to be plenty worth it for next weekend. I'm excited for our first trip together out of state. I enjoy the planning, the budgeting, and the thought of playing "punchbuggy"/"slugbug" (depends on which of us starts the game). Might I also add, my sweetcakes has now learned to make a perfectly wonderful taco all on his lonesome! The days of him being domestically challenged (okay, it's not so much challenged in all things domestic more like in the kitchen) are drawing to a near end. I'm proud of his organizational changes in his bedroom; I must say I really like all the things he uses to organize his room, they happen to pretty nifty from my point of view. Also, I'm hoping he will send me the pictures he took with his new toy (a.k.a an expensive camera lens)of the games we played this weekend. I'm gonna pretend that my boyfriend let me win at the board games we played (hahaha but he and I both know the truth) UNO was interesting, but I've never heard so much fowl language used in a game of SCRABBLE before.
Enough about my relationship for now, the rest of my life is going pretty well as well. I have my set schedule at work and didn't mess up a singe order on Terribly Troubling Thursday {a.k.a Terrific Thursday [said with a hint of sarcasm under a perfect smile]}. I enjoy the fact we get paid in the middle of the week. It makes for the best "hump day" without actually humping anything. Even though my amazing wonderful "hump day/ pay day" is followed Terrific Thursday, there is one thing about it that truly is terrific. I'm now part of a knitting/crocheting club on the train with my friend Dominique. We have dubbed ourselves goshdarnKnit ! I enjoy our talks of interesting people, fashion, food, and how we feel people are probably making fun of us inside of their minds when they hear the dramatic changes in music coming out of our mp3 players as they sit next to us and pretend not to pay any mind to the loudest sound our earbuds can make as they continue to keep the same muted face with no hint of a smile in sight because they are sick of sitting on the train next to anyone who is half enjoying this miserable everyday train ride they call their life.
I have started making up my birthday plans as well! Exciting! Exciting! My cousins Nicole, Crystal, and I have agreed upon celebrating our birthday as an 80s themed party at our grama's house for the first Friday in March! Then on Saturday the actual day of my birth, I'm finally going to see the PostSecret exhibit I've been wanting to see since last year. It's finally in Chicago and I am so excited!!! 'Tis all for now folks!

< than one month home
update time.
received, my first paycheck from my new job, and am keeping a financial worksheet, yay to new habits. i finally feel i'm getting the swing of my work world duties. as james would say i'm fitting into my many hats at the job. i'm the baby at work, the youngest in the crew by two years at the least, which is just fine by me, i'm happily enjoying my youth. the food at my place of employment is fantastic and i'm sure plenty of people say that about the food at their job, but i can say that honestly. i haven't tried something i don't like. im a huge fan of their soup of the day, every single time i work!
i'm currently working on eliminating carbonated beverages from my diet, then hopefully after i adjust to that i can eliminate all beverages that aren't 100% fruit juice or milk/water. i know i should start building healthier habits one step at a time before i start going to doctor visits when im older and trying to reverse poor choices i make now. also, just found an exercise routine, that fits my lifestyle and is practical for my wants/needs as well as that I have all the equipment to do already here in my home. [my parents have supplied my siblings and i with pretty much any gym equipment anyone could need].
update on my non work related life, my past few weekends with my boyfriend have been nothing short of absolutely enjoyable. i know now that i was absolutely spoiled rotten having had the chance to live with him for the first 3 weeks of our relationship. i do however value the time we get to spend together more than ever before. i'm really happy to say i'm finally financially able to share in the cost of us eating/doing activities. i also don't mind the train commute to and from his place, gives me time to form all the butterflies in my tummy as i attempt to patiently wait to see him again. we spent a lovely valentines weekend mainly sleeping [cuddeling is probably my favorite part of any weekend we are together, maybe with the exception of when he teaches me something new]we also cooked a few yummy chicken meals together, went ice skating [the man can skate backward circles around me, at least i didn't fall {on the ground} or hit anyone], as well as attend winter peace fest [left early on account to not liking the music and now wanting to wait around another hour in terror that our ears would fly off]. btw did i mention his invention of dumbo kisses!!! <3
my little sister and mom have strep throat atm... at least my lil sis had a good birthday at chuck e cheese with my family yesterday. i think she is an amazingly neat 7 year old. she wants to be a hunter for a living. which makes perfect sense, really.
these next few weeks are sure to be full of new routines and plenty of fun plans, i'm excited, and its been under a month and i'm already feeling on track!
