It's been 2 whole years.

My boyfriend and I recently celebrated being together for 2 whole years this past Saturday, the 27th. It's hard to believe that 2 years ago we were shy around each other, we didn't know everything about the other person, and we didn't get on each other's nerves.

2 years doesn't sound like very long especially compared to a lifetime but a lot can happen over 2 years that could change a lifetime. Like, two years after I met my last boyfriend I had his kid, two years after that that amazing little boy is walking and talking and cracking me up every day. Therefore, in the two years that I've been with Chris Mason a lot of life changing things have occured for me. He showed me that there is men that exist that I can trust, so I trust him. This is a big deal because the last guy who told me I could trust him turned out to be the worst guy I'd ever met. Chris also inspired me to go to college. It's hard to believe that college didn't exist in my immediate plans after high school but they didn't. This was mainly because I had Noah and I didn't believe that I could continue to work, go to school, and be a single mom, but I changed my mind watching Chris get ready to head off to college all by himself over an hour away from where he'd lived his whole life. To me, that's amazing! I go to college but I'm still living in my mom's house with her support and surrounded by all familiar things. One last life changing thing that has occured to me over the two years I've been with Chris is that I'm happy. I had a pretty complicated life and still do but now I'm appreciated by someone other than my dependent. He always tells me how amazing I am and we all know he's amazing!

He may not agree with me with this whole "happy" thing because I have mood swings and everything but the proof is between us. I don't cry nearly as much as I did before he came along, and I can be excited about the future between us. I can't wait, but at the same time I want it to take it's time. When you think about it, the future is really only a day away, or a min., or a sec. because you never get those back. I want all of those seconds, and days, and years to run their coarse. Especially since we already proved that much can change in two years.


Okay. To celebrate our 2 year anniversary we decided to go to Worlds of Fun alone for the day. We had gone last summer with some of my family and it was fun so we decided that we should do our 2 years there. I, being my writer-self, decided to bring my journal along to document the way up there and back. I'm going to share some of my journal entry with you:

Worlds of Fun= our first road trip!
My mom warned us about frying out there. She says the heat index is over 100 degrees. This contridicted the weather forcast that my phone gave us last night which stated that Kansas City would be having thunderstorms. Either way, the weather is going to suck. Mom says, also, to drink lots of water. Well, it's 9 am and we're drinking Gaterade (and I'm drinking coffee :D) MMMMMM Pink Gaterade frome Chris. Matches my pink shirt! We listened to Lady Gaga on the way up!! Chris hit something on his way up; a stray tire or something. We had to pull over and cars were wizzing by all close. Something was messed up but nothing drastic...I really don't know.

What We Learned Today:
1. Roller coasters are much better experienced in the front of the ride.
2. Do not underestimate a new wooden roller coaster. (Prowler was amazing!!)
3. Three creams and eight sugars are not enought to make McDonalds coffee any less disgusting.
4. Jean shorts never dry
5. Appreciate FREE water outside of W.O.F. (bottled water is $3.50)
6. Screaming during a thrilling ride makes it easier to get through.
7. Once Miranda's hair is wet theres noooooooooooo saving it.

Things to Remember for Next Time:
1. Check weather before picking the day to go.
2. Try to smuggle in Gaterade bottles (if they don't check bags).
3. Clear schedule COMPLETELY (Chris!!) so we don't have to leave early.
4. Decide what you want to wear at the car so changes of clothes and/or shoes aren't packed around the park.
5. Choose clothes that cover little like beaters, tanks, halters, or strapless.
6. Doesn't matter how but carry water around with you to fight dehydration.
7. Don't over-stuff yourself at an amazing BBQ for lunch.
8. Bring more people; the more the merrier.

Anyway, we had a blast on our 2 year anniversary, so much fun that we're already thinking about what to do next year. I know we can make it that far even though it means getting through another year of being in different towns for college, more PMS, more fights, and this problem we're having now. I know I seem bored and not up to anything and I'm sorry Chris. Please don't be mad at me. I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!
