Perfection

Look out guys, there could be a really cheesy, really sappy blog post ahead ... be prepared!

I had pretty much one of the best weekends I have had in a long time. I mean, my weekends tend to be pretty amazing these past couple months, but this one takes the cake. It was ... SO GOOD!

It basically started last Thursday, if you can believe it, with Boyfriend and I getting into a fight over facebook chat. I don't even remember what exactly brought on the fight, but I remember going to bed really upset and being unable to sleep for quite some time after. I HATE going to bed without resolving a fight -- you never end up having a good sleep, and you feel terrible the next morning. No fun at all.

Then on Friday, I only got to talk to Boyfriend for a few minutes during the day, because he has no phone, and I only get to wait until he comes online whenever he gets a chance when he's working at the law firm. So when we got that short chance during the day, we both apologized for our fight the night before, and he said he felt really bad, and he told me had a surprise for me for later. I was going to meet him and our friends at work that night, since they were all working and I wasn't.

When I got to the store around 7:30, I went to talk to our friend and she said that sure enough, Boyfriend had a surprise for me. I went and found Boyfriend and talked to him for a little while, until I found our other friend who was off at seven. He and I decided to go to Tim Hortons until the other two were done work, and on the way out, we ran into our manager. She said to me, "Did he get your thing from the thing?" Uh ... what? My friend knew what she was talking about, so he shooed me out of the store. I was just really confused by that point!

When it was finally nine, we went back through the store to wait for the other two to finish working. We waited in the vestebule and just talked, as usual. When they were finally done work, they came out, and there was Boyfriend with my surprise. He had a rose for me! How cute is that?! I was ecstatic! I have only ever gotten flowers twice in my life: the boyfriend I had at the time got me a bouquet when I graduated, and some family members got me flowers when Aden was born. So it was a really awesome surprise to just get one out of nowhere.

I guess everyone at work knew about it too. A couple people were going on about how sweet it was, and how jealous they were ... and that's what my manager was going on about when I had no clue what she was getting at. Unfortunately I had to leave it at my friends house, though, since we were going away on Sunday and the last time I was at home until Monday was on Friday! I'd love to see it all bloomed now ... but I guess not! Still, it was pretty much the sweetest surprise I could get.


On Saturday, the four of us went to look at our very first house together. We were so excited about it. It took awhile to find it, but once we did, we were ... well, disappointed, actually. It was a dump. The owners didn't even put any effort into fixing the place up at all. It was nasty. Obviously a no-go, but it was still exciting to go look at it together. Boyfriend and I had had another fight the previous night, but once again, we forgave each other when we went to see the house. We can't stay mad, and he knew I would fix the problem that caused that fight. In case anyone is wondering, I fixed the problem and we shouldn't have to fight about that again.


We all worked on Saturday and Sunday again, and then after work on Sunday, we took off to Edmonton for the night -- our first road trip as a group! We had such a good time -- no fights, no problems, no nothing. It was perfect. We spent the night in a creepy motel, but it was fun. We talked about how Boyfriend and I would snore, and our two buddies would do their things: talking and sleep-walking. Well, they didn't do theirs, but Boyfriend's snoring kept them up. I was thrilled to find out he had been snoring and I didn't even wake up! Usually he'll keep me up if I'm already awake, and sometimes I'll wake up, but not that night! That made me quite happy.

On Monday, we spent the day at West Edmonton Mall. We were all pretty broke, so we couldn't do much, but it was still awesome to spend time together without having to rush to get to work or anything.

We had to leave by five so we could be back in time to see another place at eight ... and guess what? IT WAS AWESOME. Cheap, new, close to transit for work, and just ... perfect. We're really hoping to get it, but I guess there are three other groups of people just as eager as we are. Our friend is going to bring them a deposit today, so hopefully HOPEFULLY it'll be ours. If we get it, we'll be moving in ONE WEEK. I'm so excited!


Yesterday was equally as awesome as the weekend was. The four of us took Aden to see Shrek, and I'm quite sure I love Boyfriend more than I did before.

While we were waiting to go into the theater, Aden seemed whiney and hungry, so Boyfriend offered to get some fries. Aden was thrilled. Boyfriend was eating his fries, and putting ketchup on them one at a time. Aden was fascinated by it and he wanted to do it too, so Boyfriend helped him. Aden would hold out a fry, and Boyfriend would put ketchup on them. It was quite possibly the cutest thing in the entire world. I died a little bit, pretty sure.

Aden was quite good for almost the whole movie. I don't know if he's ever been to one before, so I was pretty impressed. He got whiney about 20 or 30 minutes from the end, so we went for a walk to change his bum and he was all better. I felt like maybe Boyfriend and my friends were getting annoyed, but Boyfriend assured me he wasn't. Great guy, right?!

Afterwards, we sat around in the lobby waiting for someone to call us back, and Aden and Boyfriend ate some popcorn together. I decided to test Aden and ask him the names of my friends, and when it got to Boyfriend, he said "Daddy!" I was quite shocked after that. I expected him to do that eventually, but not on the second day they've ever met! He did it another time after that, and I still didn't know what to say. Boyfriend didn't seem bothered by it, though, which was a relief. In fact, he said he liked it. Neither of us WANT Aden to call him that, he just said it felt good to be called that. I already know he wants kids, so I know that was just a push in that direction even more. I will correct Aden when he calls him that, because I don't want him to ... but really, if he keeps doing it, there's nothing I can do. I really think it's just confusion because Boyfriend and Aden's dad have the same name. And if it's not, that's what I'm blaming it on anyway!


So my weekend was basically AMAZING, despite a couple fights between Boyfriend and I.

OH! And I'm very pleased to announce that Aden is kicking ass at potty training! He's had a few accidents, but overall, he's doing pretty good, even wearing undies! I'm one proud mommy!
