I just want to give an update about Anthony and I. Things are going fantastically in CD world. We're together 11 months tomorrow, and I can't believe we're almost at a year already! We see each other about 4 times a week or so, depending on our work schedules. I think I'm getting too comfortable in the close distance relationship, though. We've been close distance for 2 months on Monday! That means only a month and a half left of close distance....we'll be LD for at least 2 years straight most likely after he goes back to college. =[ It's going to be extremely tough to go back to being LD and I'm DREADING it so much. We've had some good discussions lately. Somehow I was able to drop a pretty big hint as for an anniversary present! I'm sure he has no idea what to get me, because he always tends to stress out about gift giving, but he always manages to choose something lovely! It's not about the gifts, anyway. But, I did hint at a claddagh ring...I discovered them recently and I LOVE them! We went to the midnight premiere of Harry Potter recently along with some friends. When we waited to get into the theatre, one of our friends had a claddagh ring on and I commented on it. I said "Is that a claddagh ring? I love it! I've wanted to get one!" My boyfriend was right there as well, so chances are he heard me. Also, our other friend mentioned how one of the teachers at our old high school proposed to his girlfriend recently and did it in front of the entire audience at one of the school concerts. I chimed in saying that I thought that's the worst way to propose to someone. Anthony asked me why lol. I said because it's a lot of pressure and I'd hate to be proposed to like that. Haha, I wonder why he asked....maybe he's considering proposing?! I'm not getting my hopes up, but we'll see! I've really been able to envision my life with him forever very vividly. Our families love each other, and everyone's so happy we're together. His family accepts me as one of them, and my family does the same for Anthony. I went over to his house for dessert with his family for his grandma's birthday. They were so glad I was there, and when we left to go to the premiere of Harry Potter, his grandma said "I love you" to me! It was so sweet to hear! It's wonderful being close distance with Anthony, and we're really enjoying this time together. I love Anthony with all of my heart and soul! <3
