I Love the Sound of Thunder

    We’re getting some crazy storms rolling in tonight.  We’ve had rain for almost everyday since April, but thunder and lightning hasn’t really been a part of the show until tonight.  The lightning is amazing.  It almost looks like it’s trying to impress the way it streaks across the sky, and the thunder is just a perfect duet.  I love the sound of thunder.  It’s such an intrigue to me.  It just sounds so powerful and to the point.  I hope it keeps up.  It’s good company while I sit here in an empty apartment. 

    My boys (boyfriend and dog) have gone to his parents house 2 hrs away to switch out vehicles.  He’s getting a lot of stuff from Ikea for his new apartment and needs the truck to transport everything.  He’s so excited about it all.  It’s really nice to see a smile on his face lately rather than a stressed out frown.  I hope that keeps up, too.  He’s so incredibly handsome when he smiles.  *insert daydream here*

    Things between us have been going good.  We haven’t fought as much…well with the exception of a very drunk Saturday night when we both got into an argument about commitment (but that’s a whole other entry I don’t feel like writing).  We got over it, though, and are back onto the track of smiles and sunshine.  It should keep up since I’m going home tomorrow for a week mainly to stay out of his way while he finishes up his summer classes and finishes moving in, and I need to finish my passport stuff and good ol’ FAFSA financial aid forms with my Dad in person. 

   *random question*  I’m looking to get my boyfriend something sweet and memorable for  his graduation present.  Any ideas?  I don’t want to get him anything like cologne, clothes, anything engraved, etc.   I want something more personal (and not expensive) that he can go, "aww she put a lot of thought into this…"    I’m open to ideas 🙂  Thanks!
