Surprise! I'm still alive...

I made this post on my other blog today……… just thought that I'd let everyone know my innermost thoughts for once… I usually save this kind of stuff for my personal blog. I actually added some extra stuff to this post, too.

I'm eating lunch at my desk right now & thought that I'd surprise everyone and make a post. I've been thinking a lot lately about learning to fly. I wish that I had the time and resources to do it now, but I don't see it happening for a while. At least I'd have the best damn flight instructor in the world!

Speaking of that flight instructor, in the past several weeks, I've found that a) he doesn't think that people should live together before they're married and b) he doesn't think people should consider marriage until they've been together for 3 years.

Wow.

That's such a foreign concept to me, I didn't even know what to say. Granted, we've only been together for 6 months, so it's not like I'm rushing to get down the aisle, but at the same time, I'd like to be a little more on the same page as him. Three years seems a bit long to me. Maybe that's just because I feel like he's the right person for me, I don't know. He has all of the qualities that I look for in a mate, and I just think that we could be very happy together for a very long time. I'm a romantic, but I'm also a realist… I don't believe that there is one soulmate out there for each person… I think that there are plenty of people in this world that you can find that would be compatible. Relationships take a lot of work, honesty, and communication. Most of the relationships that I've been in - I'd say at least 90% of them, I start losing interest after 5 or 6 months. Not so with this one. It seems like I find new reasons every day to love him. Yeah, I'm pathetic. I'm hoping that he changes his mind on us eventually living together - I think that you should consider it at least when you get engaged. Then again, it wouldn't hurt me to live on my own for a while. I don't know. Why I'm even thinking about this so soon is beyond me. Craziness. I guess that it's just because there are a lot of people getting married and engaged around me right now and it's just making me think. This is why I need to get back to school and taking classes… so I can focus my energy on something else besides worrying about the future.

Guess that's it. Lunch is almost over.
