A whole lotta first!

Happy 1st of July!

I'm going to skip the redundant and expected "I suck at Blogging" mumbo-jumbo. There are too many exciting things going on to focus on that. I will say though, that 7 months ago today I was really thinking that Daily Blogging would become a reality in my life. I'd like to go back 7 months, and give that naive old me a reality check. But hey, 7 months later is a good time to try again, right? I thought so.

I'm going to be spending the long weekend in Maine(Our first weekend away), with my boyfriend's family. For some reason, he thinks it a good idea to bring me along. Yikes! I am certain it will be full of awkward moments and uncomfortable encounters, but I hear that's to be expected in these situations. Truth is, I am very excited about it. For many reasons. First of all, it's Maine. If you haven't been, pull out that dusty bucket list and add it on - it'll rock your mind. It'll blow your world. (Wait, what?) I've seen pictures of where we will be staying, and I can't wait to take better ones! Granted, the ones I saw were on Tyler's iPhone. Most looked like pictures you'd see in a "Rent this palace for the weekend" ad on Craigslist. (Love you, Geebs.) 4th of July in Maine sounds perfect to me! (Our first forth of July celebration together). I'm also excited for time away. A break from life and some relaxation. That will be very appreciated. Most of all, I can't wait to spend time with his family - and watch him with them. He's a complex fellow this man-o'-mine. He's the truest and most loyal man. He loves unconditionally, and he makes everyone around him feel like the most important person in the world. He can make one joke, and have the attention of an entire room adverted* to him. But when he's with his family, it's like a multiplication of superpowers. It's so fun to watch him care and love and encourage and be completely himself. Of course, I'll be digging for embarrassing stories and trying to share a little bit of me with everyone.
I'm such a family girl myself, I know I'll enjoy being around all of his!


I've got plenty to do in the next few hours. The most stressful part of this whole thing is that I have to work on Friday from 8am to 10pm. Sleep. Leave my apartment at 3am and drive to Charlotte. Get on a plane. Land. Somehow look presentable for Tyler (My first time seeing Tyler drive and my first time riding in his car. His first time driving to the airport...less exciting.ha.). Drive for 3hrs and somehow look presentable for the crew in Maine. Hopefully they are a forgiving bunch - and don't mind a nap or two.


To add to the firsts, the day we get back from Maine (not only do I get two whole days with my family!) but it will be our FIRST first Anniversary. I realize that may sound confusing to some, but  if you know us, that's kind of exciting! 




Random Thought: Sometimes, a song will start playing and I get so excited. Then, I realize it's the original and not the Glee version and my excitement fades.


*I'm gonna try and use some of my Merriam-Webster Word of the day words in my blogs, see if that helps them stick. If anyone ever see me use one improperly, please tell me. It's a major pet peeve of mine and some of the words are hard to use. That and I'm not all that bright.
