I don't know when I "grew up."
So I forgot to mention that when John was heading back home yesterday he stopped in to visit me at work for a little bit and bought a few books from the store. One of the books he bought was "101 Questions to Ask Before You Get Engaged." I had actually put them out on the shelves the other day and mentioned it to him because it reminded me of some test Casey wants us to take if we seriously start thinking about it. But then I realized buying that book meant he was seriously thinking about it! Well, to an extent at least. It's kind of exciting because as unambitious (inambitious? ambitiousless?) as it sounds, all I really want to do with my life is have a family. I don't really have any crazy life plans or career dreams, I just want to get married and have cute babies and just have a simple, happy life. But it's weird to think that I'm actually entering the realm of possibility for all those things! I pulled another copy after he left and was flipping through it when there was a customer lull, and I don't even know what half the questions mean! I mean, what the heck is a pre-nup??? I think this growing up stuff is even more confusing thatn I thought....
I felt an update was needed....
but I don't know what to write :[ I've been working a lot. I deposited my first paycheck today, it was quite exciting :] I love my job! The only bad thing is I've had to scrub a toilet... twice. That definitely hasn't been the best experience of my life. I've also been cooking a lot! I made a cinnamon breakfast cake, brownies for my sister's birthday, and waffles! My mother told me I'm becoming very domesticated. Who knew?
John surprised me Monday. I was sad because I had to work last weekend and I'm leaving for Seattle Saturday, so I wasn't really sure when I'd get to see him again. He called me Monday morning and let's just say I'm not very alert in the mornings...
John: "Hey, I thought you said you were going to wash your car?"
Erica: "It's not that bad...... I will eventually.... *snore*"
John: "Well I'm looking at it right now and it looks pretty dirty to me."
Erica: "Uh huh.... *snore* whatever...."
John: ((starts talking to my dog)) "Hey Mister Weenie!"
Erica: "Ok, have fun at work, I'm going back to sleep.........."
2 minutes later I feel something in my ear. Since I am not a morning person to start with and that is a quite obnoxious way to be woken up I hit the hand that was poking me and rolled over and put my pillow over my head. When the poking persisted, I rolled over ready to punch my sister in the face, but it was John! I wasn't very cranky after that :] I'm so thankful he came down because it was my sister's birthday that day and she had a party... aka TORTURE. She only had 4 friends over, but they're all such petty, little girls. It makes me sad for her because they're the only other sophomores on the dance team with her next year, so she feels like she has to be friends with them so she won't be lonely. I know the feeling... I just hope she can find a NICE girl friend to hang out with. I'd like to find one of those myself.
I'd also like to get a PUPPY!!!!!! I have wanted a puppy forever. I have dogs at my house, but I just want one little cute puppy to be mine. My mom's always told me I could have one when I wasn't living at home, but now she's trying to tell me she meant when I'm out of college like really on my own. It's not fair :[ I just want one to keep me company next year since I'm going to be alone in my apartment. She keeps telling me that Tucker will be there for me to play with but... well it's Tucker. Love him, but I want a cute, little, fluffy, non-asthmatic puppy of my own.
Hm... I don't really know what else to write tonight. I think I might try to go to bed semi-early for once. So, I will leave yall with some lovely pictures that sum up my summer so far.
