Oh I''ll be here

and you better hang around LIW some when you graduate to BWW - ill need support for the next few years myself

Right, im thinking *dream*girl - maybe ill have another dream about you getting engaged...in the last one it was a very pretty tiffany''s ring that you got

could be a good predictor

Oh you know I''ll always be around for you too! This is crazy, we are talking like I''m headed over to BWW right now. It hasn''t even happened yet. There aren''t even any guarantees that it will happen within the time I mentioned. But that''s the impression anyway so I guess it''s ok to talk like this! ha!

Yeah, I was thinking about your dream. I''ll bet you started all of this and sent some kind of a message to him in his mind.....didn''t you?

Yeah, so what''s up with that? Why do we put ourselves through that torture? I don''t know why I get sort of freaked out over it. I guess I''m so used to being the girlfriend that to think that he actually REALLY wants to do this soon (which I knew, but hearing him say it makes me really believe it) well, it''s sort of hard to believe it''s going to happen or something. That probably doesn''t make any sense...

You a much better girlfriend than I am! *pouts*. I''ve gotten to the brat stage, where I''m hating being the girlfriend, and I''m SOOO ready for the next step.. I''ve been ready for over 5 years, when he first mentioned marriage seriously (as in "we''ll be married in the next 2 years, and try for a baby"), and then found out we were expecting. I hate not having the same last name as our DD, and trying to explain that I''m actually her birth mother, and not just her Dad''s girlfriend at her school. UGH.
I know what you mean about it being hard to believe that it''ll happen, though: Mr. H has been talking about marriage so much, yet never ACTS on it, KWIM? He gave me a timeline of Dec. ''08, and then broke it, so I''m sick of worrying/wondering, "will he actually stick to it, this time?"

*sighs*.
Sorry for the rant!

Yes, he found a job about 1 month ago and loves it. It was the first interview he got in TX, which is the state I was moving to. He had gotten about 9 interviews in CA and no real offers (one company offered him a really low starting salary that was almost an insult). He got the job a week before I was moving out, so we are now only 2 hours away from each other. So everything worked out. In a way, me moving to TX was lucky because it was (at least 2 months ago) the only state with a positive job market.


I hope your BF comes across some good luck.

Oh that''s wonderful news! I''m so happy for you!!! S has some stuff coming up....a few tests (for different positions) apparently this is what the government has you do before you can even get an interview. And then another possibility which isn''t the goverment. So I''m keeping my fingers crossed! He''s actually got one test downtown today. Hopefully he ends up in the top however many and can get an interview and then of course, the job!

I hope he does well on his tests. The way it works in Govt is they make you take a test. Based on your score, you get put on a list with all the other people on the job. The person with the highest test score gets the first interview. The system was designed to prevent people from hiring their friends and family before more qualified people. While the intention is good, I am not sure a single test will determine who will make the best employee. There are so many other factors.

Regardless, I am sending him test dust....

I''ve gotten to the brat stage, where I''m hating being the girlfriend, and I''m SOOO ready for the next step.

I know what you mean about being sick of just being the girlfriend. I went with my boyfriend to a business dinner this weekend and the first thing out of one guy''s mouth was, "So, are you guys engaged?" At this point in our relationship, we are so ready to take that next step and not be boyfriend/girlfriend. I guess it''s just a matter of time.

Gosh. That would be hard! Very hard. I''d feel the same way you do...

Yeah I know. It''s INSANE. He always does so good on the tests too and is usually #22 on the list of top 20 or something like that. He''s had a few interviews but it never worked out. The one that he was about to land had to close the position. Can you believe that?! Well anyway, he has another test for another job tomorrow and something next week. Keep those fingers crossed and I''ll keep you updated! Thanks for the dust!

Well, I''m not saying I LOVE being his girlfriend and don''t want to be anything else. I definitely want to be his fiance and wife. The transition will be hard for me is all I''m saying. It will be good, but just a huge adjustment. Plus, time flies so fast.......it''s going to be right around the corner. So may as well enjoy being the girlfriend for just a little while longer until the time comes.

I need to keep reminding myself of that Dreamgirl! I am always looking forward to the future and can''t wait for things to happen. I need to relax and enjoy the way things are now!
