It was a nice day today, not a cloud in the sky. Woke up at around 9 and washed my "stringy" hair lol. Got a call from baby at 10 and went down to make pancakes... Unfortunately, grandma came to tell me not to eat too much because I'm chunky so I didn't eat much. And Mike didn't eat much at breakfast either, so we're going to start off small and work our way up... Tomorrow morning a small bowl of cereal, so he can adjust slowly.
Went to get the registration changed and a new license but lacked some of the paperwork... Showed him how to get around, and discovered what good memory he has. Not to mention the fact that he drives really well. He got us here safely :D
He got a haircut today, I think he is beautiful. His hair was a little wild before but the lady did a pretty good job with him. I'll post a pic tomorrow. Got him some stuff, some toothpaste, mouthwash, green tea, water, yogurt; so he can have some stuff in the fridge to much on and drink. Stuff that doesn't consist of chips and bachelor food haha. We're not letting each other drink soda and eat things that are bad for us. I'm so happy
But I was even more thrilled at dinner, he ate a full plate of rice and beans and a pork chop, and later a good ham and cheese sandwich as we played a game of monopoly... (which I lost miserably... but not without a good fight haha, it was fun)
Tomorrow's new years eve. Going to see if I help make some of the feast, straighten my hair, pain my nails and pretty up to receive the new year all pretty. I want to cook so he can tell me what he likes and doesn't like :)
I'm really really sleepy right now though... And my writing is mediocre too, my brains delirious! Update tomorrow with some pics. :)

Jitter Bug
The day draws nearer and oh my, I'm extremely nervous! Mostly about the drive, hoping it goes safely, trying to get Mike's car in decent shape so he can travel safely too. Then about you meeting my parents. I've never done anything like this before, where my parents meet boyfriend's folks... So I'm just all jittery hehe... Guessing that's normal.
Well I want to go into more detail about how this is going to work...
Mike's got his own special apartment, in which he has a living room, bathroom, walk-in closet, garage, bedroom. He is welcome in all parts of the house, (except my room late at night- not allowed lol, same to me... I'm getting a curfew I believe lol.) He will not be required to pay any rent or fee, he will be as a member of the family. The only thing mom and dad ask is that he keep the area neat. They want him to be successful and wish for him to attend school. The only reason work is a necessity is because he has bills to pay, (car and insurance and such.) But his food and toiletries are covered and anything he needs he will be given.
As far as family "peer pressure" goes... The notion of marriage has been brought up. I admit that the idea made me happy, but I also acknowledge that there is a right time for everything. I have had a lot of time to think about the subject and hope that you are not alarmed once you read this.
Marriage is a big, life-changing step that two people take when they are both ready. This isn't the case now, as we are still young and I think we do need the opportunity to get to know one another and establish ourselves a little better. I don't want to be selfish and drag Mike into it. I want it to happen because we are both ready, because I don't see how it can work if I push him. I realize that my grandmother is pushing a bit for this to happen but I have let everyone know that now is not the time and that a relationship cannot work if only one person is taken into consideration. He's not even old enough to buy me a drink, and I barely am old enough LOL! So maybe someday this can be of consideration but not now. The day it happens I want both of our families to be there and I want it to be a happy day.
You're right though C - I do feel like because I have my family's blessing that it does validate their feelings towards us... It made me want to get married but they can't and will not be the reason behind my marriage, just because I can is not the right reason.
I just really want you to know that I will do my best to take care of him, make sure he is OK. To make sure he is happy and that he gets to see you guys as often as possible. And that on my part there is no rush on making anything move too quickly. I love Mike very much and I want to be able to share with you guys as my family too.

Sharing With my 3 Peoplez <3
As the days draw near, my mother and grandmother reveal to me their good intentions. They want us to be happy. They want to make sure it works out. I need to tell them at the same time to stop meddling in my relationship. I guess they are overly excited. But at the same time they are sort of driving me CRAZY lol.
They want to talk to your Mr. Dad. About what his thoughts are on this move. About how he feels about me and such. I think they want to make sure he is on the same page and that he understands that I am in an environment where I'm well cared for and that his son will enter the same environment.
We believe that relationships are the foundation of marriage. In other words, you don't date someone just because you can and then just leave someday because you saw someone interesting walk by... You are getting to know one another in order to someday get married.
They are very traditional people, and this is their first time doing something like this. It's all new to them and they want to make sure we do it right. They don't want for Mike to come here and suddenly just leave because he gets mad or something (though I told them they don't know him and he wouldn't do that.)
They are very supportive of our relationship and hope that we are successful together. They want me to treat him with respect and dignity... To change my housekeeping habits and learn to cook even better so that I can spoil him every chance I get. They want to know that he loves me and see the way he is with me.
I wanted to tell you what was going on of late so that you are as well informed as possible.
If you have any thoughts on this please tell. I'm nervous and anxious and want to be able to keep everything as open for discussion as possible. You could even call me if you have any questions or anything.

May God and His angels watch over you.
I'm not a great religious fanatic, I don't attend church... But I do believe in God and angels;We tread along with broken hearts and severed intentions when we must, carrying in our minds cumbersome masses that weigh in on the joys we deserve to experience. At times the walls enclose and there seems no escape from the pain, and the anguish takes control and the thought of surrender creeps up silently; convincingly easier than enduring wounds of cruel thoughtlessness and neglect. But I know there is more than just us in the course of our lives, there is something bigger and graceful somewhere amidst the suffering, watching when we cry, when we fall, when we're in need. Giving us hope and holding our hands when most we feel alone. And so I wish for all whom I love and cherish... May God and his angels watch over you always and guide you safely through the difficult moments and share with you in the beautiful ones.
