Thanks, Ellie. I'll post more when I have time - it was really scary, lots of trees down and such, but everything is okay.

Hey everyone...

I've been really busy, BF picked me up Thursday afternoon to go through the storm with him. I'm really glad he did, the apt. complex I live at got much harder hit. Not a lot of damage to the complex itself, but large trees are everywhere and I was scared enough as it was without listening to so many large trees hit the ground! It's amazing that with as many trees as went down (and there are lots everywhere), that nobody here even got seriously hurt.

I'm actually still at BF's. I stayed through the weekend, and he said that maybe I'd like to stay yesterday, so I did - and the same today (I don't have a working car right now, so whatever is easiest with him is fine). It's been nice spending nearly a week with him - even though I still want him to get this place cleaned up! We start moving in about a month.

I do need to get back to the apt. to get packed and such for a trip I'm going on Friday (4 days in CA with family). I would guess he'll bring me back to do that tomorrow.

The cool thing - I've been walking a lot, I can't get to the gym because of the car situation...but BF asked me this morning if I'd be walking tonight. I asked why, and he asked if he could go with me. So that is great. I am hoping he'll join the gym with me once we move. He's gained some extra weight recently - I think he's good looking still, but it'd be nice to have him around. And to have him do fitness things with me.

I guess that is about it for now, I have work to get done. I did find a place online that looks nice for weddings, I need to call them and make an appt. to look over the place in person.

Thanks Rob, it was a scary storm - I just can't get over that nobody was seriously hurt during it.

Thanks Rob, it was a scary storm - I just can't get over that nobody was seriously hurt here during it. We'd not expected the storm to head our way as much as it did until the day of.

I know, I am happy about that. We will have a small fitness center at the new complex, but you know how often those type of fitness centers are busy - you get there and everything is being used (and the fitness center is about a mile from the atp.) I think sticking with the gym would be better. Plus it will be a really nice area for walking - so I can do both.

I have not pushed him at all as far as working out. I am not sure I've even invited him to walk - he knows he can go with me if he wants (I've talked about it as far as the new place). I wanted to make sure he did it because he chose to, and not because he felt I was making him.

I am heading out of town until early next week, I don't plan to be online too much.

I'm looking forward to seeing my relatives. I haven't been to California in a couple of years, hopefully I'll get back soon to do Vegas and the LA area.

BF has been really great as far as letting me stay with him, etc. - and bringing me places like the post office (though I try to do as much as I can by foot). I AM very frustrated - very much so - that he's not yet done much to clean and pack. He knows that I feel that way, though not to what extent. I was hoping he'd do some this weekend - I really REALLY wish he would, but he said maybe he'd work on it. At the same time, he is planning to possibly work on my car - he keeps doing things like buying me groceries when I have my money out, etc. I am doing things for him too, but I know that even if he's not doing everything I want, he's doing a lot. It's just SO important to me that none of the crap that he doesn't need regarding ex-OW goes with us.

My birthday is this weekend too. I won't spend it with BF, but I will with family. It should be a lot of fun.

I just got back from California last night - I had a wonderful time with my family out there. I am glad I went, but the time went way too quickly.

My birthday was this past weekend, BF did text me, he called a couple of times. I appreciated that. I was hoping that there would be something when I arrived back - like flowers, that was what I was really hoping for (I'd said before it's something I'd like him to do occasionally). There were no flowers, and nothing that had to do with my birthday either. I know his family is planning something for me this coming weekend - his mom is cooking dinner - but it'd just have been nice to come home to something. One flower, one card, one anything!

Anyway...he did pick me up, he was there on time, he carried my luggage (even though I tried to do it), he took me to get take-out Chinese food, etc. He offered to stop by and get donuts too if I'd like that (I chose not to). He gave me a back massage. He IS thoughtful. But it'd just be nice to get an occasional really romantic gesture. I may be needing to buy my own flowers, etc. occasionally - they do make me feel special.

Oh - and I actually did cry a little while we got home. For like 30 seconds, it probably had as much to do with me being tired as anything. I looked around to see if there were flowers, or a small cake in the fridge, anything. Then I broke down briefly. Oh, well. It bothers me that after ex-OW had told him that she'd broken it off with him the first time because he didn't bring her flowers and balloons or whatever to the airport, that he brought her a big stuffed animal (while I was still living with him, last year). I've mentioned previously when returning home that I'd love to get flowers at the airport, and still nothing.
When I'd mentioned it, he was like "where would I have gotten flowers"? Well, he picked me up just before 9pm. He could have gotten them ANYWHERE on his way home from work, or even a drugstore or grocery store on the way there.

I know it doesn't seem like a big thing, but it is to me. I don't need a lot of flowers, I don't need a lot of hugely romantic gestures. I mean, the way he gave me the ring was just to hand me the box and tell me to open it. What he does for me most of the time is great, but I just want a little more on occasion.

Sorry to be venting. Darn it, I wanted flowers!!!!

I do love him, I had a great trip - I know that BF won't ever be hugely romantic (unless he chooses to be, but I'm not holding my breath). But just a little would be nice.
