Oh gosh what a weekend! Jonathan and I spent the weekend at Picacho with the twins family enjoying a little dust and sun. Our first camping experience together was awesome! Took a little side trip off roading on the way out, hit some really soft sand and he cruised over it like nothing. I feel save with him by my side :)
What a day! Jonathan had been telling me about all the baking he's been doing, and boy was it good! Laura and I went to Jonathan's parents' house and were greeted with quite the spread. We hung out with his nephews, sister and brother in law, parents, granny and his parents' neighbors as well. The meal and company were awesome. At one point I asked what I was getting myself into and Noah replied "An awesome family." I already feel like I've been welcomed as a part of their family and I'm so blessed to be. After we cleaned up and chatted a bit more we drove out to Picacho to spend time with my other family; the twins and their mom's side of the family. We did a little 4-wheeling, hung out, had round 2 of Thanksgiving and laughed a lot. It was a great day! I'm falling more and more for that sweet man and I couldn't be happier.
After a decent work day we spent a little time together, took a nap then joined Jonathan's family at the Colorado River Crossing Balloon Festival glow night, not super exciting but it was fun. Noah, one of Jonathan's nephews unintentionally made me blush, he called me "Uncle Jonathan's girlfriend or should I say future Aunt Gwynn." It was all innocent but wishful thinking. Let it be our little secret, but I sure hope he's right! Tonight marks our first month together! After the balloons we met the twins, Bailey, Scott, Michael and Wes at the taco stand and followed that with a little fireside hang out at Michael's house. Just a good day all around :)
Oh I've been so bad! I am going to try to get back to regular posts because every day brings something great so smile about. I've started my new job and that sweet man of mine brought flowers to me to say congrats on my first day. He's so thoughtful! He is back to actively planning his bait shop which is awesome! Tonight we went on a triple date with his best friend, her husband, my friend Laura and her blind date Zak. It was interesting to say the least. Well this girl has to work in the morning so I'm off to bed!
This one is mostly about me. What do you do when half your world is falling apart and half is floating on a cloud? I'm so lost between these happy feelings I have emotionally and the struggles I'm having elsewhere. I feel almost like I'm not supposed to be happy, like I should feel guilty about smiling and not be enjoying things so much. I just need to start this new job and get back on track. It's gonna be a bumpy ride for a while.
Oh that boy is wonderful. Yesterday I went car "gawking" with a co-worker and friend, Laura. Jonathan texted me asking what I was up to and I told him and gave him the details of the car she was about to test drive. He gave me some things to look for then asked if she would like him to take a look under the hood. He expressed his concerns and pointed out things I would never think to ask. We then took the pups to the park and had pizza at my house where he managed to fall asleep while Laura and I planned a double date with a friend of mine who will be working out here for a while. He's such a sweetheart. :)
Oh what a day! I was supposed to go to PHX to get paperwork done for my new job but that has been postponed til next Tuesday. So instead once Jonathan got done working he brought Poncho over so the pups could play. We wandered around Tractor Supply and got ice cream then went home to hang out, make dinner and he stayed over with the pup. The 4 of us snuggled up and I slept great. He is so wonderful :)
Another round of truck issues. Come to find out I needed a battery. I went to start my truck just before going to work to find it dead. My knight in shining armor showed up just in the nick of time to get me to work then picked me up after. A little time spent under the hood and a new battery in the truck and all is well. What I would do without this boy, heaven only knows!
Boy I am spoiled! My handsome man stayed over to take me to work this morning and get to working on my truck. He brought my keys to work and said it's all fixed! But he still met me when I get off to make sure nothing would go wrong. He then asked what I wanted him to cook me for dinner. I said no, no I owe you dinner. He insisted on making something. Boy did he out do himself! Fresh guacamole made before my eyes, Carne to die for and he wouldn't let me make my plate, he served me. It was absolutely delicious and we enjoyed dinner out back in the yard. He even picked up a cherry pie for dessert. He's a keeper no doubt!
Oh I swear if this truck gives me any more grief! I've been having trouble with my truck every other month it seems. I was scheduled to take my CCW class this morning but my truck wouldn't start. Jonathan and his dad came to take a look and began guesstimating what might be wrong and tomorrow my knight in shining armor will be taking a look at it. But for today I am driving his blazer to and from work. What a sweetheart. Falling hard, but no fear.
Meeting your new significant other's family is normally the sort of thing wrapped with nerves. Last night I met Jonathan's parents, sister, brother in law and nieces and nephews. We attended a Trunk or Treating event at his church and passed candy to little ones. It was a fun little bonding experience and his family seems great. I can't wait to get to know them. We share another little thing in common; both of us have a nephew we share a birthday with. Just something little and silly :)
Not too much to report, got to pass out candy with Jonathan's family, they seem to like me which I'm happy for! We had planned to hang out with his friends but they weren't feeling good so we spent the later part of the evening at home watching the Pumpkin Chunkin! Ha!
