I just had to share this with someone because I was so touched! Kris has been being really sweet the last couple of days. I''ve been a bit down because I''ve been stressed about job searching and some freelance work I''m doing and I''ve just not been feeling super great.
Yesterday, I ended up having to partly come clean about the surprise trip I''m taking him on for his birthday (just that we were flying in to Portland--I didn''t actually tell him where we''re going) because we''re trying to plan a trip up there for job interviews and while I was trying to keep it a secret, it doesn''t make sense to fly up there twice when we''ll already be in the area and can just tack on an extra week for job interviews. I tried to be all sneaky about it, too, but then he kept trying to push for doing it a month earlier and couldn''t understand why I wanted to tack it on to that trip. Anyhow, that was really convoluted. So I told him, but I was so upset about it because I was really looking forward to it being a complete surprise and that on top of not feeling well and just being down in general meant that I was just sitting in a chair sobbing. Kris knelt down in front of me and held my hands and said that he was the luckiest guy in the world to have someone who cared so much and that if he had a ring, he''d propose to me right now. I know we''re still waiting a year or so to get engaged, but it was awfully sweet (even if I was completely red-eyed and gross).
The other thing from a couple days ago needs a little explanation first. Basically, I''m (half-jokingly) kind of obsessed with Journey. Yesterday Kris came home and told me that he was driving and Faithfully came on the radio and he was going to change it but didn''t because it reminded him of me. Then he said, "I was thinking, too--we''re definitely going to have to play some Journey at the wedding." Now if only I can get him to agree to some William Shatner as well...
