Last Wednesday was my 28th birthday…sad but true. Its amazing how close 30 is approaching, but oh well…can’t do much about it. The day started out good Josh had left me a message on my chalk board wishing me a happy birthday with a drawing of a little cake with candles on it….aww so cute! Then that night he called me saying “I found the perfect gift…will you get mad at me for spending money on you?”. To which I answered “of course not” (what girl would say yes?). So, about an hour later he picked me up to take me out for a birthday dinner. In the car he was so excited and gave me my birthday present as soon as I sat down. It was a bag from Bath and Bodyworks with a candle, crazy nice lotion in my favorite scent and a back massager. It was perfect…all my favorite scents and everything. That being said I was a little confused because of the phone call asking for expensive gift permission. When we got the the restraunt (Macaroni Grill one of our favorites)…he asked me to hand him his bluetooth out of the glove box…when I opened it there was a black box from a jewelry store in it. I was so excited!!!!!!!!!!! I opened it up and inside was a diamond journey necklace. It is soooooo amazing…He couldn’t have picked out a more perfect gift. I adore it. We had a lovely dinner and then home where Josh made me a cake with a big 28 on the top. All in all it was a perfect birthday.
The next day as part of my birthday present Josh took thursday off and we went to DISNEYLAND!!!!!!!!!!!! We got our season passes and started out in the park. Josh hadn’t been there in over ten years so it was like going with somebody who had never been. Later in the day Jacob and Tak joined us and we ran the park! We had an AMAZING time. We even got neck straps for our passes and are going to start collecting a new pin for every visit. My first pin is one that says “my boyfriend is a pirate”…which is true…he is the only person I know who knows all the words to the Pirates song. He also bought me a medallion from the pirates ride…we are going to have it engraved with our names and the date…something to remember the day forever. I’m excited to go back after the move. We had the best time!!!!!!!!!!!!
Last night we had a great night…Josh’s brother Joel came over and had dinner and hung out with us. We had a great time talking and joking and playing the Wii of course. Joel is a lot of fun and the two of them together is hilarious!!!!!! Hopefully he will move back soon so we can hang out more.
Today…I bought a sweet little girl named Gretta…she is my new Jetta. I had been hemming and hawing over getting her for a long time and had been trying to sell my car…and today was the day. We went the dealership and got good deals all around and tonight we drove home in her. She is graphite blue and oh so pretty. She is my first car purchase and I’m so stoke about it! Who wants a ride?
Now that we have had a week of fun we have to buckle down as Josh moves into our new apartment in two weeks and I move in two weeks later. So we have a lot to do.
You know I know this sounds cheesy but everyday with Josh is a good day. Even the bad days or the mundane tasks are better when he is there, but there are times when he out does himself and I am again reminded of how lucky I am to have him. I had THE MOST fabulous morning yesturday morning!! Josh woke up crazy early for an airsoft game that ended up getting canceled due to rain, and if you know Josh you know that once he wakes up….hes up. So, being the sleeper that I am I stayed in bed and he got up at a horrifying 5am. Sick I know….but he’s my sicko so what are you going to do.
At about 8am I woke up again to the sound of my front door shutting, I got up to see if he was still here or what was going on to find that he had cleaned my kitchen and done all the dishes AND took the trash out while walking the dog. Now this alone qualifies him for “Best Boyfriend of the Year” award, but of course he upped himself. He gave me a kiss and sent my tired self back to bed. So again, being the sleeper that I am I follwed orders and went promptly back to sleep. About an hour later my amazing Joshy came walking the room with a plate of blueberry pancakes and syrup with a nice cold bottle of water. I don’t know if any of you have ever had a true breakfasts in bed, but I hadn’t. Its awesome!!!!!!
Thanks for making my weekend Josh!!!
Today Josh and I went to Ducky’s (a guy he plays airsoft with) US Marine Corps graduation party. The neighborhood was a little dodgy but his family had a cute little house at the end of a street and it was a nice party. They had the back yard all set up with USMC colors and Ducky was in his uniform (it has a name but I can’t remember what it is and Josh is asleep so I can’t ask). Josh and Ducky talked for quite awhile about bootcamp and all the fun things that you have to go through in boot camp. I think that Ducky was happy to have somebody who knew what he had just gone through other than the guys who had gone through it with them. I have the utmost respect for the military, but in all honesty I will never understand why somebody would voluntarily join up. Being in the military means giving up so much of yourself and putting it in somebody elses hands. I just dont’ know how you can do this. But I guess maybe its not for me to understand. I am thankful that there are people who can do it….I am just not one of them and I’m ok with that.
On the way home Josh and I stopped and picked up the season DVD’s of Futurama at his house, grabbed some dinner and headed home. When I first started dating him I was like OMG he watches cartoons…this is not good. But now I’m the one who is always like “ohhhhhhh Futurama is on”. Its a good show…and if you haven’t seen it, you need to.

On Friday I went to lunch with a woman I work with and her new boyfriend. While we were waiting for our food I noticed that everytime she went to grab his hand he would pull it away, finally saying “not in public”. He then proceeded to send her to get everything he needed throughout the meal, putting her down at several points in the conversation. The hole time all I could think about was how lucky I was to be with Josh. He is so good to me and I never have to question how he feels about me. He is just an amazing person and I’m so lucky to have him!!!
So if you saw Josh’s “new duds for the dud” post then you saw that Joshy got some new shoes!!! He thinks of shopping for himself the biggest chore EVER! I will never understand this but whatever…he did it anyways =). We even got him two pairs of shoes. One Steve Madden dress casual shoe for work because they went well with his uniform (no he doesn’t wear a uniform to work, he just wears the same thing all the time thus making it seem like uniform) Dickies and with his new jeans. OH…and I would like to add that Josh is CRAZY cute in jeans!!!!! We also got him a pair of Converse because for some reason the “Boy who doesn’t shop” (his indian name) think that you can wear the same pair of shoes for work, going out, and just chilling. I on the other hand was not raised in a barn and know that cannot be. Ok ok he wasn’t raised in a barn…he just doesn’t understand the joys of new clothes and shoes. But he’s learning.
I know he says they are more for me than for him, but everybody feels better and more confident when they look good…its a fact of life. If that wasn’t true I wouldn’t have a job right now.
And yes…I did end up going back and buying the first bed we liked…but its a big purchase I’m allowed to re-think my decisions right? I think it irritated him a little but he was a good sport and I also think he will love it when its all said and done with our new bedding. At least thats what I’m going to tell myself…haha.
All and all it was a fun day. Even the crap chores are more fun when he is around. =)
Ok folks….Have the best day ever!

Hola Folks,
Today was quite the day for 
Josh and me. First we started with a lovely pancake breakfast…most of you probably don’t know this but almost every weekend Josh makes me pancakes for breakfast. He has a special pancake skill that makes them taste like restaurant pancakes…not the brick like ones from home. Super delicious!!!!!!!
After breakfast we decided to take on the task getting a new a mattress, mainly due to the fact that my mattress has a very large divet in the middle and when we sleep we end up rolling in on each other. Not so much fun. So we went and got this scan thing done at the Sit n Sleep. Its kinda weird. You go in and lay on this mattress thing they have that scans your body and tells you what sort of mattress you need…its pretty rad really because it allows you to not have to lay on five thousand mattresses to find what you need. We tried out like ten and then found “the one” and bought it….WOO HOO!!!! But here’s the thing…in the purchasing of a new mattress we decided to get the California King. Thing thing is HUGE!! Its going to be soooooooooooooo nice! SO…the upgrade in size of the bed means NEW BEDDING!!!! Which leads us to our next adventure of the day……. Read more »
