Dove shirts

Has anyone else seen that commercial where the Dove girl cut the sleeves off their shirts? How did they make them look so fabulous?! Someone please instruct me how to do this!

I'm up to late and far to emotional....

I'm pretty sure I was in love with him before I ever met him. I had been living with his sister for about 7 or 8 months and had heard stories about her wonderful big brother. At that point it was indiscriminate who he went to...me or Emily would have been sufficient. I remember one day we were shopping at Old Navy and as we were walking back to the car, his sister said something about how we would start dating.

I fell in love with the man who built his ex an advent calender for christmas one year...who let his little sister hang out with him and his friends...who fiercely protected his friends, much like I do with mine.

I love him. I do but is that enough if he doesn't want to get married and have babies or even move so I can be close to my family? Will he always be enough for me? I've always wanted the quintessential adult life...a nice house with a dog and a fence, a good job, children and a husband to make dinner for. What if he doesn't want the same things?

I know what you are going to say....
Well why don't you just ask him?

But I have and I get vague answers like "we'll see" and "maybe".

I'm distressed but hopefully Ill figure it out soon.

Is this who I am?

My mother has always told me three things. Wait to have babies because you will always have them, always trust your gut and don't ever change your life for a man.

So far I have listen to two out of the three. I am still unchild-ed and I have always trusted my gut. I chose not to listen to the last bit of advice. Not because I don't think it is a fabulous piece of advice but because I found a man that I think is worth it.

We met over a year ago in the most magical place on earth. He came down to visit his sister who was one of my roommates at the time. It started rather oddly, which is how I like all my good stories to begin. He came from the airport and I was asleep on the couch and he brought me pizza. We hung out for the next week going to theme parks and seeing shows. When he was leaving I was to shy to say anything to him.

After he left I sent him a text message and it snowballed from there. We started out texting pirates jokes back and forth, then we actually started talking and FINALLY in May he came back down to ask me out on a proper date. So we saw each other every other month and talked daily. We have even been on a cruise together. It got to the point though that something needed to happen...either I move to Massachusetts or he moved to Florida.

So you can see why I chose to uproot my entire life in order to be with him.
