1 year anniversary

this weekend is the anniversary of our first date. we celebrated it on friday, because the day of our anniversary is on monday, and thats just no fun. we didnt do gifts because money is better spent on our apartment we are moving into in just under 3 weeks. YAY!!!!

i am so excited to be out on my own again. in a manner of speaking anyway. ill be living w him of course. :) my parents are none too thrilled, but i cant let that bother me. it bothers me more that they are stuck living in a time where everyone has to get married before anything else. its infuriating. but oh well. i have always had my own way of doing things with my life, making my own decisions, and if the cant deal with that, then tough. i love him, and want to spend the rest of my life with him, so why should i wait to do that? we arent young forever. i just want to get on to the next part of our lives.

its exciting and scary to me. ive never lived w anyone ive been in a relationship with. i mean, we practically do now, but its in 3-4 days at a time. not extended days in a row. we'll see how it goes.

the apartment we are moving into is not too far from where his parents live. seems interesting that we are migrated towards where we are given the most support in the first place. my parents dont even want to talk about it. and when they do they shove "living an unrighteous life" down my throat. i am a firm believer in making your own decisions and asking God to bless them. its impossible to know what God wants you to do, and reading the bible just confuses you more. So therefore, i am going to go with what feels right to me, and ask God to bless this decision and hope He understands my process. i understand what the bible says about marriage, and i believe that the rules that were written 5000 years ago were for a society that no longer exists. we have evolved as a civilization, and i believe that God does not expect us to be perfect. he merely wants us to be happy. as superficial as that sounds, i cant see how any deity would want someone to be unhappy.

anyway, thats the end of my rant. more later after weve moved, im sure. :) as long as we can get internet that is!
