Creature of Habit

I will admit it...I do not like change.  I like things to stay the way they are when everything works.  I totally believe if it ain't broke don't fix it!  Last Sunday....my day of the week that is usually perfect....was anything but perfect.

All of this started because Aaron was on-call all weekend.  Aaron fully believes in Murphy's law....anything that can go wrong, will.  So, like any other on-call weekend Aaron made no plans.  His intention was to lay around the house all weekend and pray he didn't get any calls.  Of course, he got called at very inopportune times.  For instance, he got called on Sunday right before the first hymn started for church....this where my day started to go to crap!

Aaron wasn't sure about going to church.  He didn't want to be rude and have to leave halfway through the service but I convinced him it would be ok.  Aaron also wanted us to drive separately to church in case the dreaded call came and I convinced him we could ride together and if he got called I would be able to figure it out (I mean, come on, my mom was going to be there).

Like I said, we arrived at church our standard 15 minutes early so Aaron can get himself situated and I can stare off into space for awhile.  Aaron was all situated (every page necessary for the service on Sunday was marked by some piece of paper in his hymnal) and the organist was just about to start the first hymn and Aaron's wretched phone rings.  Boo Hiss!  He went outside to take the call...hoping he would not have to go to the shop...and I promptly ran out of the church after him hoping he had not left yet since everything I needed for Adult Confirmation (I'm only attending this class because Aaron is currently attending it so he can become a member of our church) was in Aaron's truck.  Luckily Aaron had not left yet and I was able to obtain my books for class.  He then left and I went back to church.

About halfway through church I looked over and saw Aaron's hymnal all marked for the service and decided I was not a fan of going to church without Aaron.  I am used to him being there and I like him being there.  Sad day!

Anyway, I got over that.  Fast forward to Sunday night dinner at my parents' house....

We were literally putting our shoes on to walk out the door to go to dinner and Aaron got a call.   Boo Hiss Again!  So he leaves to go to the shop and says he'll come up to Mom and Dad's when he's done with this call.  And I leave and go to my parents' house.  My brother's girlfriend, YoAdriann, is now a regular at Sunday Night Dinner which is great.  But, this causes us to have to add a chair to the table and what not.  It's all great though...we kinda like her so we'll continue to add a chair.  

Well on Sunday, since Aaron was not in attendance for dinner at dinner time we did not have to add a chair to the table.  But, because Aaron was not there I was forced to not sit in my regular chair and instead had to sit on the other side of the table.  THIS. WAS. HORRIBLE.

Here are my list of reasons why I was not a fan of this seat:

• I was not as close to the fridge, so when I need a refill on wine it was not as readily available
• I missed the turkey that was in the back yard because I did not have a good view out the back door
• I did not get to make faces at KT because instead of being across from her I was next to her
• My parents voices were in the wrong ears

I know....I'm a whiner...but seriously it threw everything off!  When Aaron called to tell me he was done at work and on his way up to Mom and Dad's I promptly told him he is no longer allowed to miss Sunday Night Dinner and told him all of the reasons why!  He told me he was sure everything was fine and he would see me in a few minutes.

I in no way want anyone to think I hold any of this against YoAdriann.  I most certainly do not at all.  She just happened to be the person who sat in my regular chair!

The Perfect Person

 

My cousin pinned this today.....I love it!  I love pinterest but I also love this quote from wherever and whoever!

I'm a quote person.  I like to find the quotes that make you say "Aww that's me" or "Yep that's us."  This one is a me and us one.  Who wants the perfect person?  I mean we all joke around about find the perfect person but really that wouldn't be any fun.  Part of being in a relationship is finding those things about the other person that drive you nuts and figuring out how to deal with it.  You also have to accept the fact that there are things about you that are going to drive your significant other nuts but if they are the right one they will deal with those things as well.

I'm a pretty silly person.  I basically refuse to grow up.  I can't imagine being in a relationship with someone who was not as silly as I am.  Someone who takes my silly times and rolls with them.  Aaron is probably sillier than me and I love it.  I love that Aaron and I can go on "what if" rants for hours.  And usually these rants are about nothing that could ever happen but they are hilarious to us and that's all that matters.

Aaron definitely treats me well.  As a matter of fact he down right spoils me which I find to be fantastic!  But, beyond the spoiling he treats me like a princess.  Which he told me he would do the day after our first date.  He always makes sure that I completely comfortable in any situation we find ourselves in.  He was there for me through the entire night when Poppa and Grammy were missing.  He made sure to tell me they were fine and would be found.  He knows that my family is crazy important to me and makes sure we spend time with them.  He knows that Jersey is incredibly important to my happiness and he loves that dog like he's always been his.

And I'm pretty sure he loves being with me more than anything since we are always together.  When we are apart he tells me that he missed me or he'll text me to tell me that he misses me.  I've never been more comfortable with another person in my life.  We just enjoy each others company.  Which people say that's what you should look for when you are ready to settle down.  I remember someone once telling me to make sure you find someone that you can sit with and not have to say a word.  We can do that!

Thanks Trista for pinning this!  I was having blogger's block!
