I'm now a homeowner, we signed our papers today! It took a very long time, but it was fun, the guy got a kick out of Danielle and I and how we talk in tandum lol....Then I went and celebrated at GIANT Hamburgers with Jami. It was yummy, and then met Kris D. and we went to Home Goods and bought a few things for the house.

I watched a great movie tonight, Bella. Have you heard of it? It is the 3rd time Jami has watched it this week. I recommend that you rent it and watch it.

It was life changing. One moment can change your life forever..... http://www.bellamoviesite.com/site/#/home/

Here are some things I realized in the past few days......

Sometimes going to bars dressed up is fun...

All it takes is a fancy dress to say "I love Mexico".....

Drunk texting is NEVER a good idea....

5 months isn't long enough to heal, and either is 5 years....

It's my room and if I want a PINK bedroom then I'm gonna have a PINK bedroom...

Old Navy clothes just rip right off ya.....

It's never a good idea to go from 0 to 125 immediately....

Flowers do come in sparkly....

Don't change your beliefs for someone else....

Tequila and Squirt is amazing, oh wait already knew that one, just needed a reminder.....

Chia Pets hair grows faster then you think.....

You know your an LD RN if you meet someone and immediately think good god, our kids heads will give me a 4th degree, NO WAY! Your not worth a C-Section buddy...

Sometimes myspace pictures are detrimental to relationships.....

Gramma still does make the best french toast......

Really, Really lose the sunglasses it's night time!!!!!

Pseudonyms are spelled with a P, and they come in handy in cell phones.....

Even the "tough" guys are there for you when you least expect it......

Buttons are meant to be buttoned.....

Nothing says Surprise like a Menthol Cigarette.....

Sometimes it's best to stop and ask for directions instead of taking a turn into CrAzYvIlLe ....

Showing up drunk and professing love usually isn't good...

A $50 car ride can turn into an $80 car ride.....

Hurt feet still doesn't stop sloppy kissing......

I've done a survey and found out that 10 out of 10 people, THEY DIE......

The smallest couch brings the most laughter.....

Hearts and legs bruise easily.....

There is no such thing as perfect.....

And sometimes it's best just to remain good friends....

On that note, I will close for the evening.... Perhaps it's bedtime....

What

I Learned

When I Turned 30!

This year I have learned probably the best lessons of my life... I was so excited to turn 30 because I felt like I would finally be considered an adult, and finally be out of my 20's... Little did I know that I would learn such valuable lessons...

Always trust your spirit... When your instinct is telling you something, listen! Our greatest voice is the one that speaks to us from within, it knows when something isn't right.

Be a good friend... Your girlfriends will see you through moments you thought were impossible.

Learn to forgive and learn when to walk away.. I have done a lot of forgiving this year but I had to learn when it was time to walk away.. Even if it was 0430 in the morning...

I've learned that no matter what you need to take care of yourself first and do what's best for you.

I've learned that your laughter does make your spirit feel better, and sometimes all you need is humor to make even the worse things see ok...

I could go on and on about my life lessons over the past year... But the most important thing I learned through all of this, is that my Mom does know what she is talking about, she does know best, and she is always right. I wish it wouldn't have taken me 30 years to figure that out, it could have saved me a lot of heartache, and craziness....

So now, I just call my mom up and ask her whatever I have a question to, and she just tells me the answer.... I tried to explain this to my sisters the other day and they "Pfffffff" me and rolled their eyes.....

They'll learn at some point, that she does know what she's talking about and she has been there and done that and she does know what is best for her girls....

Breakfast

This morning Paul and I met for breakfast, because we hadn't seen each other since Saturday and we weren't going to see each other until next Saturday. We met at the Good Egg and I had blueberry pancakes. (No wild dreams this time after eating them thank goodness) Once again we had the best time just sitting there and talking and laughing, he has a good sense of humor, I enjoy that about him. So he pulls out a piece of folded paper out of his pocket, and it has a list of dates on it. Several days in a row for each month and he said to me, pick a set a days that work for you. I asked him why, and he said because I am planning a suprise for your birthday! WOO, this guy is already planning for my birthday, wow, my 30th birthday I had to plan it all ugh.. Ok, no talk about my past crazy ex... So Perfect Paul, is already planning ahead for my birthday!! He won't tell me where we are going he just said to pack for a big city!! :) I picked Sept. 17, 18, 19, 20....

After breakfast, we went our seperate ways.. I got home and got ready for bed, and we talked on the phone again for another 2 hours.. Ha ha...

Dating cont'

So Perfect Paul invited me over to his house for dinner on Saturday, July 19th. I was only in charge of bringing the wine. I showed up and he was putting the finishing touches on the preperation of dinner. We then took a little adventure drive around Maricopa, now I know your thinking what was the adventure, seeing the train track? LOL but he has a Toyota FJ, so we were able to go into the desert into the mountains, and there is a little lake and what not in the desert. It was really cool, and very scenic, and it was just about dusk so sorta romantic.

Back to his house, where he prepared a great dinner. BBQ chicken, fresh green beans with garlic and baked potatoes, he even cooked up some bacon for our potatoes :) We sat there and ate and talked... We cleaned up the kitchen and got our wine and went and sat outside in the lounge chairs in the back and it was starting to monsoon it was great, we sat back there and talked for a few hours.

After awhile we went back inside because it was hot, then once it started raining we went and sat on the patio and listened to the rain, and he brought out strawberries and whip cream. What was so cute about him this night, was he would take each strawberry and put whip cream on each one, one at a time and hand it to me to eat... He is such a sweet guy.. It was very romantic to sit outside in the rain and kiss him.....

That night on the patio he said to me, "No pressure but, I want you to know I am taking my profile off of match.com because I've found what I was looking for, I've found the one" Ahhhhh so sweet.....

Needless to say, I feel the same way, I took my profile off as well...

I hate talking on the phone, but with Paul, we talk on the phone everyday for about 2 hours. When I am around him or on the phone with him, I feel like I am on fire, I am so alive! I could talk to him all day long and never run out of things to say..... Every morning we talk on the phone after work. (Paul also works nights so he gets off of work at 0600 like I do, and so he is just getting home and unwinding... It is nice having someone who works my schedule and who understands it.....)We just have so much to say, and about 2 hours into the conversation, he'll say something adorable like ok sweetie, you need to get to sleep... Then we'll plan on hanging up the phone and somehow we end up on another topic and then we start that cycle all over again....Talking to him is very similar to talking on the phone to a best friend, it is fun and exciting and there is always something to be said.

Dating...

This year is the year of our 30's so Jami and I made a few deals in regards to our 30's one of them being getting into shape and losing weight, I need to lose 30 pounds. Another one was in regards to dating. So we joined an online dating site. We've gone out of some real duds of a date... Between the 2 of us, there was the old dude, buick bill, nurse man, dude face, arizonas strongest man, crazy josh, boring barnes and noble, and now there is Perfect Paul...

Paul and I met online in May, I was slow to respond to him because I was sick with the gallbladder and then I had surgery. I finally messaged him back after surgery and then I got the sweetest and longest email back from him stating he had begun dating someone else and he wished I would have emailed him sooner. I replied with that was sweet he was so honest, and that we could still communicate as friends. So we have spent time emailing eachother back and forth sharing our lives, dating stories, pictures etc. Finally he sent me an email saying that the girl he was dating didn't want kids, so that was a deal breaker for him.

He finally asked me out. We agreed to go on Friday July 11th. I had worked Thursday before, so I slept Friday until n00n, then I had to get up and get ready for a class at the hospital, so I was done with the class at 730, by the time I got home I was really tired again. He called me up and told me to go home and take a nap and that we could meet up later. Which I thought was so sweet, that he was being so kind and understanding letting me sleep. So I woke up around 10, and we met at the Applebees by my house, which was his suggestion.. He drove all the way out this way from Maricopa. It was a good date, we chatted and chatted until they closed the place and we were forced to leave. He walked me out to my car and gave me a nice long hug, and said good bye. I remember getting in the car and thinking what, no comment on lets get together again..

The next morning I sent an email thanking him for dinner. I got the nicest text from him thanking me for my email.

He then asked me out to dinner that Thursday, July 17th. He picked me up, and we went to Brio, this great Tucsan Grill at the San Tan mall. We sat in a booth and ordered dinner and we once again talked and talked and talked. We then ordered desert, and talked some more. We decided to take a drive out to Maricopa to see his house and his yard. Needless to say I was speechless as we went through his house, room by room I was blown away. Everything was decorated so nice it was like being in a model home. I had been called to come to work to help them out that night, so we only had a short time at his house, which was just fine. After the tour he finally kissed me, it was the best kiss ever. I had such a feeling in my stomach... Kissing can make or break a guy and this was great..

So he took me back to my car and then I went to work.

This guy is amazing... I'm wondering if it is too good to be true, or is it just time I've met Mr. Right.
