Two Posts in a Day...

I know, right? Nothing for such a long time, and all of a sudden I'm a blogging machine! Well, I'm on duty tonight, and I try to stay up at least until midnight on those nights, just in case... Also, I really don't want to read for homework yet. Thus the blogging community is stuck with my thoughts.

So I feel a little bit bad complaining about all this... As you saw by my last post, (if you do read this) that I'm thrilled to death that Jon decided to stay with me. He's moved in, and we're really making this apartment a home as much as we can. He gave up a lot to stay while I finish my graduate degree, and I cannot be thankful enough for that. But I'd be lying if I didn't say that there wasn't something on my mind that's really bugging me...

I will be 23 in nine days. When my mother was 23, she gave birth to me. I know this isn't necessarily the best standard to live by, but I'm terrified that my time to have children, to be able to play with them and be the cool mom, is rapidly slipping away.

It honestly seems like all my friends, even the ones that don't want it, are where I WANT to be. They have kids, lives, husbands... Felicia is 18 years old, still finishing high school, and is engaged with plans for a summer wedding. Is it jealousy? Of course it is! I want everything that all my friends have...

I love Jon and I am ready for forever. Now that I really know how much I love him, forever just doesn't seem like long enough, and the days are disappearing so quickly, I don't want them to go. I want the ring, and the house, the white picket fence, and the dog and the yard... I want the pitter patter of feet. I want the "American dream" and I'm so sick and tired of waiting...

Thank you for listening to my whiney nonsense...

Things are Finally Feeling Fine

As the post title suggests, things are going well.

Jon has been home for two weeks now. He starts his job with Target tomorrow. He'll be stocking from 4:30-8:30 a.m. and thus is asleep right now. He went to bed early and I've been awake on duty, doing laundry, and trying to do some reading for homework, and it all feels strangely right.

Jon got offered a job in Florida, and turned it down. They even called him back and offered him more money, and he turned it down again... So right now I'm just in awe of the fact that he loves me enough to stay.

My birthday is in nine days, and I'm just so excited for what this new year will bring!

Updating From My Kindle

That's right world. Apparently I can update my blog from my Kindle!!! It's entirely impractical, and a gigantic pain in the butt to type things out on the tiny little button keyboard and search through the symbol menu for any punctuation more complicated than a period, not to mention that you can't do certain things because you can't open more than one window.

I'm also certain that I could do all of this faster on my Blackberry... But the fact remains, I can blog from my Kindle, and I think that's pretty cool.
