I'm looking at apartments.
I found one on the prairie path on Roosevelt- studio, one bath 695 a month. Derek and I could do that easily. The problem being we'd have to factor in all the craziness....
insurance
gas
internet?
food
rent (of course)
misc. house costs (brooms, mops, vacuum, laundry detergent)
I want to make up a mock budget. I want to know what it takes for me to get an apartment. I want to do all the legwork before I bring it up to either set of parents. His parents are probably going to have a problem with it before mine would. He is younger.
What about school?
How would we pay for certain things?
I have to budget it all out... I have a goal though- that's a start.

She's a killer queen....
I love queen.
I wish Freddie Mercury weren't dead- I'd love to see them live. Derek and I would have an amazing time.
I'm going to get a little graphic so little ones turn away.... go to your room...go play outside- do something to avoid listening to what I'm going to say.
The other night Derek and I were in the middle of our nightly activities when he reached for my face, looked me straight in the eye and told me he loved me. It was one of the most powerful feelings I've ever had in my life. So powerful it's been like two days and I still think about it. I've never known him to say it first let alone in that context. When we're intimate it's not always as the loving-notebookesque-romantic movie love making... 80% of the time it's just something to do together. Which sounds like a shame- but it's really not. That whole time the other night was all about romance and love and passion and it was amazing. You can tell it meant something more special than normal if I cry.... and ladies and gents, I cried.
He is amazing. I love spending time with him. I was laying awake last night wondering about my wedding. I was watching a combination of "who's wedding?" and "amazing wedding cakes" and it made me realize one of these days long down the road once I pick a husband to be I have to pick out all that crap. I have to pick linens and cakes and place cards and china and I don't think I want to do that whole deal. I want a SMALL wedding. Immediate family and close friends. I'm talking childhood friends, people I've known forever that I would want by my side not flavors of the month. The more I count it out- the max I would have at my wedding is 30. That's doubling the amount of people I can think of to make up for those I can't. I really want a small, small wedding. The more weddings we do at work, the more I realize it's okay to want not the norm. Usually smaller weddings are held for those who have already been married or are renewing their vows.
Derek sees weddings as a waste of money. We dont' need a huge celebration to prove our love. Which I don't really understand.
The one thing I'd want though- is to run away and elope. I know that sounds ridic but think about it- it's just you and him in the moment- two people in crazy love. I don't think I could say my vows infront of a million people. I'd want to say them to him ( and maybe have a videographer) and have him say them to me and be done with it. I don't want my family in on that part. I want a private ceremony.
I'm putting way too much though into this crap. So sue me.
