The real crime? The beard.

Tomorrow, D is leaving me [yet again] for another week long trip.  This time he’s headed to Germany, and he’s very excited, as he should be.  I think the sight-seeing might be at a minimum, but I know he’s staying an extra day just to get to see some sights.  I don’t blame him, and I alternate between being jealous he’s going - and mad that he’s leaving.  I wish I could go see all these wonderful places with him, but [lack of] money and [lack of] extra vacation time stand in the way.  It’s too bad, but I’m sure if I tagged along, I would be BORED - he would do his meetings & stuff from 8 to 5, while I was alone - and most of these trips only have 1 night on a weekend.  Just silly.   Then the week after he gets back he gets to go to VEGAS - his first time - and I’m sure jealous of that.  Yeah, its for a work conference, but come on!

I will miss him, but hopefully plan to keep busy again.  This weekend I’ll get together with my mom and we’ll do some wedding stuff - so I can do some crossing off my “list” - and then move on to the next steps in the process.  All of my friends are scattered about this weekend so I can’t even have any good quality time with anyone.  Sucks.  But I enjoy doing stuff with my parents, and I tend to get fed for free - plus walk out with a few extras — we might get pedicures tomorrow, on her!  Sweet

The only annoying thing is that we have planned to have a Memorial Day party next Sunday - the day AFTER he gets back from his trip.  So that means I have to do all the food buying and cleaning by myself.  I hate that.  He tried to rationalize for me.. “Well, at least I won’t be around to get in your way, and you can just clean and you like that right?”   Ahhahaha, no.  Close though.

Next Sunday we’re meeting up with his parents, brother, and his groomsman to buy the suits for the wedding.  It is pretty much the only time in the next month or so that worked for everyone involved - so I’m just taking care of it now.  No sense in waiting.  We found some good suit choices to buy for only 100 bucks, which you really can’t pass up.  Everyone needs a good suit, so why not?  But seriously, so many things to do - and it just seems like it’s all going to plop in my lap at once.

I am grateful for opportunities at work to prove I really am doing a good job.

I am grateful for rainy Friday nights spent with my love, catching up on all the awesome TV from last night (how funny was the Office? obv), eating homemade burritos, and enjoying our last few moments together before he goes away!
