So here I am, just chilling on the computer at work. I love this job! My boss isn't all that strict but expects me to get my stuff done just the same. (Maybe I should be careful cause she can get on and read this! LOL!) But may I just say I am a total sight to see! I'm sitting at a table with one computer burning CDs, a laptop in my lap to chill on the internet, and my cellphone with all its pretty little cords so I can listen to music! Isn't life just grand?! And my phone just buzzed at me, so hopefully someone called to leave me a message that they can cover my shift tonight cause I'm not feeling too well. Which would actually explain the pepto pills in my purse and my vitaminwater-defense.
So there's not too much going on in my life at the moment other than school and work. Austin's supposed to go into the MTC in exactly 20 days! I know that it can seem mean that I'm counting down until he leaves, but I've been ready for him to leave since about January time. I come home from Idaho and the rest of the world wants him gone too. What took them so long?! Last night, Big Joe was talking about how someone is leaving on June 18th. Either Austin is going to go into the MTC or my dad, Todd, will be going into the nut house. Austin is driving him up the wall (along with the rest of the world)!
Speaking of Austin. As of this moment, he's most likely in Virginia with friends. Well last night he decided to pull an all-nighter to pack up his stuff for the trip. He also decided that it was ok to move some of his crap back into my room while I was gone in Idaho. So he came into my room several times during the night. I went to bed at about 12:30 after getting off the phone with a specific person. :) And then woke up around 2 AM, 3ish AM, 4:40 AM, 5 AM, 7AM, get up at 7:20 take Devin to school, come home & go back to bed at about 7:30 AM, get woken up again at 8:30 AM and I've been awake ever since. So I had a fun night. I'm running pretty well considering how little sleep I got. BLAH! I'm hoping that someone is covering my shift tonight so I can go home and take a nap.
So I was just thinking some things over. One thing I learned when I was about 14-years-old and living in Minnesota, "You don't fall into love, you work into love...Everyday you learn something new no matter how long you've known them." - Sister Pratt
They teach you some interesting things when you're a youth. LOL! But that thought crossed my mind this morning. We always expect things to be a big BOOM! But everything is a gradual process. Line upon line, etc.
My ex, Shawn, is getting married in August. No I'm not bitter, but I'm not completely over him either. I loved the guy (and still partially do), cut me some slack! I'm happy for him, but seeing pictures of him kissing someone else is just really weird and creepy. Although we didn't actually date for a long time, somewhere in time I found myself to actually, truly love him. For everything and anything he is. Even after he returned from his mission and he was all different, I still loved him. His life wasn't perfect but I tried to make the best of it--to the best of my abilities. His family drove me crazy, but I loved him still. Nothing seemed to change that fact. And I'm sure that even 50 years from now part of me will still love him that same way. But I know that where I am is where I should be, so no worries. And who knows maybe part of him feels the same way.
But I wish him and his fiance, Amanda, the best of luck with anything that crosses their path. And she has no worries, I will not try to steal him away. But I do hope that at sometime she can have an inkling of an idea of the relationship that we have. We are part of a rarity of couples that continue to stay friends after a relationship. I value his friendship, but that's all he is now, a friend.
But yes, "falling out" of love, if it's the real thing, is harder to do than "falling in love".
So I guess that's all I have to say for the moment. L8RZ
