having a great time

so i made this blog today so that i can read what my pretty lady has been blogging about. figure i might as well give her something to read as well, it's only fair. been having a great 2011 so far. this has been the best year ever for me. i don't seem to have a lot of good luck, but maybe it was just storing up for this year. at least that's what i want to think.

so we got back from VAbeach this past weekend. only stayed for a day, but it truly was one of the best times I've been down there. we made a fort, which was awesome. i always sleep under the kitchen table at my mom's house, and when i asked jaime where she wanted to sleep, like on the couch, on the floor, maybe steal dan's bed, she told me she wanted to sleep under the table. see, that right there just made me smile. it was just a little thing that i mentioned to her in passing, and she listened. so we made a fort over the kitchen table. best fort ever.

we had lunch with her sister and her family at pungo's pizza and ice cream. pizza was good. i'm pretty sure that the waitress messed up our order, but it seemed to work out in the end. chicken ranch pizza was amazing. her sister has two little babies, and they were really cute.

then went over to Mt trashmore. now, mt. trashmore is a place that i like to go everytime i'm down south if i can. it's just an amazing place. i don't really go with other people. it's like my thinking spot when i'm down there. i can just escape from everything. the first time i went there, i was gone for hours, and no one knew where i was. it's just a peaceful place, the view is amazing, there's alot of kites flying during the summer, and the sounds of kids screaming and playing at the park fill the air, but aren't overwhelming. the water there is amazing. there are alot of bird like creatures there. i call the white one sea-pigeons. the other ones ducks. there are some geese there as well. they are just plain ol' mean tho.

so anyways, so i took jaime to my thinking spot. and she seemed to enjoy it. we had fun messing with the flying sea creatures. played on the playground for the first time in years. i love being with her for this reason. i can be myself around her. i can act like a big kid running around the playground, and she'd be right behind me.

but anyways, not going to go into the play by play of the trip. not enough time before work. so here's the goals for the year. 24 shows. yes. 24 concerts. not local bands, but semi-big bands. at venues. this goal is something that i know i can reach. and this goal, i feel, in a large part is the reason i have jaime to call mine. she went to the Pietasters show with me. so even if i don't reach my goal, i still would consider it a win for me.

so got the house back. sitting in the couch with the new coffee table. this room seems to be coming together. it's amazing on how every time i walk in the house, it's different. i can tell you this, this is not the same house as it was before. it never will be. but i'm ok with that. my room is pretty much done now. i have to take out a few boxes that i have stacked up, but that's about it. oh, and i need to get my dad's stuff out of my closet. then it'd be done. it's so nice in my room now. i love it. it may not be the same old house that it was before, but i still feel like i'm home. i mean, this is where i grew up. it may have different stuff inside, but to me, it's still home. the walls are different, the layout downstairs is different. the light switches are different, the lights and fans are different, the beds are different. but i still feel home. i still love this house and everything.

the end.
