…we did go to the Cheesecake Factory and had a wonderful dinner. While waiting for our main meal, we played Elite Beat Agents against one another at the table. As the meal sat square in my stomach, I determined that I would rather go home, sit on the couch and cuddle instead of watching a movie (because honestly, I probably would not have made it through the entire thing…).

After taking care of the furbabies, I decided that I wanted to play Oblivion IV. Will sat and watched as I tried to make my character Calico as pretty as possible (note to those who have not played the game yet…it is impossible to make any of those characters pretty…). I ended up playing until 10pm when Lost started. I fell asleep in Will’s comfortable arms as he watched the show.

I would not have spent the evening any other way. As long as Will was there talking, joking, sharing and laughing with me, we could have stayed on the couch all evening. Will is not only my husband, but my best friend as well. No one could foresee the relationship going the way it has, but I can tell you that I am so fortunate and grateful that it did.

As the result of a phone call following a party the night before, Nadia and I got together. I’m pretty sure that neither one of us had any idea that we’d be in it for the long haul.

I’m spending our anniversary working from home, while she is at a mandatory training event. I think she mentioned doing some sort of unarmed combat training, I don’t remember. Not terribly romantic, I know, but at least we’ll have dinner together tonight. She chose the Cheesecake Factory, which is one of her favorite restaurants. Maybe a movie too. I’ve been wanting to watch The Number 23. We already saw 300 and thought it was excellent.

…I have decided to write again. I know I have been quiet for weeks but trust me…there was so much to blog about! I am just sorry that I did not have the time to share all my rants with you.

I was asked yesterday “How does it feel now that you are 30?” I thought about it for a minute and replied “Well, I still want to play video games, so I must feel okay!”. I stressed out about my get together for the last 4 days…so much that I had a twitch in my left eyelid. But everything turned out great and everyone had a great time.

Lots of people wonder why 30 was so important to me. My thoughts was this: when you turn 10, you are just happy to be ‘2 digits’ old. When you turn 20, you are setting goals for your future. At 30, you look at how many of those goals you accomplished. Well, I think I did very well because with the exception of 1 major goal, I completed a majority of them to include getting my degree, being gainfully employed and getting married. An unexpected goal was purchasing my first home.
Overall, I am happy with what has become of my life thus far. I have wonderful, caring people in my life, I am healthy and I am successful. Not bad…not bad at all. I would ask for your help with one of my goals…if you all can pester that stork to come by my house, I would appreciate it! Don’t send him hate mail or anything, just sent a letter with my address on it.
