Derek, Moving, My Job Sunday, March 11, 2007
Life is still sweet. As sweet as can be, I suppose. A lot of goodness mixed with just a touch of bitter. Sure, I think I could live with out the bitter, but I think it's what keeps me appreciating the good. It's when the bitter takes over the good that makes me feel crazy. Luckily, I am overflowing with good lately.
Derek and I are doing well. Sure, it's only been a little over two months, but that's a great start. It's such a different relationship than I am used to. He calls me everyday. My last "love interests" only called me once a week tops... and to see them was even less. I can't believe how lucky I am to see Derek once a week. He stays the night on Saturdays. He kisses me and holds me all night. Last night around 4 AM he woke up and turned to me and whispered, "I want to tell you... I ... really really like you." Then he kissed me, hugged me, rested his head on my shoulder, and went back to sleep. I felt loved and wanted and happy. The years I spent with Keith trying to make him love me, I never once could just spend the night cuddling and talking to him with out sex. It's so different with Derek.
Last night, Derek also brought up wanting kids. He told me he had his boy's name picked out. The first name would be good if he changes it to a middle name and his middle name HAS TO GO. However, there is time to "fix" that. With my head resting on his chest we talked about children, how much we like each other, and life. It's nice to have a man around that doesn't mind laying together and talking. It's an amazing feeling. I feel like a lucky girl.
Sure, he's not perfect. However, neither am I. Together we make a good couple, I believe. I care about him very much. To me, he is perfect.
I started moving this weekend. Since I work where I live, I get to move some stuff and not get charged. It's making it a lot cheaper to move. This way I don't have to pay a moving company. I am so excited. Life is going to be so good! Finally, my own place!
My job is going great. I got a HUGE raise. More than anyone in the whole company. I didn't nessesarily deserve it more than anyone else, but I asked for it... and got it! I thanked my boss and made sure she knew how much I apreciated it.
Well, that's enough for now. If I'd update more, my entries wouldn't be so long! I have more to say... but I think I will try for tomorrow.

And congrats on the raise...I wish I knew what one of those looked like. :) [Lurking Rabbit] 3/12/2007 9:53:35 AM

re: what if you have a girl and he suggests Carla? Is that just as bad for you or is it just limited to Carl? [ephemeral] [p] 3/12/2007 11:01:49 PM
