November

Ok, seeing the example of all of the people doing the November Journaling Month thing has gotten me a little excited.   I’m a week behind but I’m going to see if I can write every day for the rest of the month.  Excluding the next 3 weekends  because I’ll be out of town, but I’ll write all about them on the Mondays following.

Currently things are going really well.  Zakk and I are back into the swing of our really really good relationship.  All of the akward getting used to being back from Afghanistan stuff is pretty much over and things are the way they were before he left.  Which was amazing.  He’s currently in Ocean Springs, MS visiting his family which doesn’t make me totally comfortable.  The family part is fine.  It’s the Ocean Springs part.   There are a lot of bad memories there mostly caused by some bitches who could still be lingering.   But it’s not bothering me much anymore because I told him what was on my mind and he told me I had nothing to worry about.  I can just tell by the way he says things to me.

There is one thing bothering me.  It’s only bugging me a little because It’s totally innocent.  I just don’t know why he would hide it from me.  There is this much younger girl who was the little sister of a girl he dated in high school.  He became kind of like a mentor and friend to her.  He’s been talking to her on myspace (which I check,  I know it’s nosy, but I would never cross the line to delete anything or send messages in his name, I just have to reassure myself sometimes)  And he’s been stopping by her house and work to see her but she hasn’t been around.  Well that doesn’t bother me except he’s not telling me about it.  I’ve asked him a bunch of questions where he should have included that in his reply and he just totally omits it.  I really don’t get why he’d lie about it.  I’m ok with him visiting her.   She’s just a child and I know the relationship is totally innocent.  So… why lie about it…  Who knows.  It’s not bothering me that much, except that she just got her phone so now he can txt her so I won’t know about it and obviously he’s not going to tell me.

Aside from that quite a lot of planning is going on in my life.  This week I registered for my final classes of my college career.  I also found my Capstone adviser and met with her.  This is a very big deal in the life of an art student.  I will complete a project that is to the best of my skills that I have learned here and It will go before review to see if I am good enough to graduate.  Very  very important and super exciting.  My adviser, Dr. Zielke, is really great.  I took her interaction design course last year and she liked me which made it easier for me to like her.  

One really great thing I did was give myself a 4 day weekend every week.  I only have to go to school Tuesday through Thursday next semester.  It is excellent because that way I may be able to take weekends to go visit my husband occasionally.

On that note, the wedding plans are nearly finished.  I’m going back home on December 13th to finish with the little details, but the only thing we don’t have booked is the photographer.  Which is a not so funny story.  We were waiting on Zakks family to ask if his aunt would like to do it and they just never did.  So now we have to find a photographer at the last minute who’s willing to work the Christmas holiday.  Not an easy task.  But I have to have a photographer…  I was hoping that we may convince Zakks parents to rent us a getaway limo, but I don’t think Zakk has even asked or even will ask so I’ll probably end up having to change out of my dress and drive away in his truck… which really kind of upsets me.  It’s really…  lame.  My dress will not fit inside of a normal vehicle, which explains the having to change part.   It’s all so exciting though.  In just a little over a month I will be married.  I will be Mrs. Crystal Jewess.   It’s all very exciting.   Zakk is in charge of booking the honeymoon, which will be to Disneyworld.  I can’t wait.  Disneyworld on new years eve is going to be incredible!  

I guess that’s all I have to say for now.  You’re caught up on the major parts anyway.  I’ll potentially write more tomorrow.
