I know it's been, uh... like forever since I last updated, but things have been pretty whacky the last few months. Crystal and I spent Christmas in the country with my dad's family this year.I wanted Crystal to meet that side of the family and I think she fit in just fine down there in Simonton. My cousin Stephen picked us up on Wednesday and we headed on down and us, his fiance Amanda, my cousin Ashley, her husband Robert, their kids Taylor and Lane, and my aunt Charissa spent the afternoon making Christmas cookies.That evening was very much fun. Crystal and I and Stephen and Amanda and Ashley and Robert all went over to Ashley and Robert's house to play the Wii and hang out and be goofy on Wednesday night and all I have to say is that some of the details are a little bit fuzzy to me. That would be because of the fact that I was just a litle bit tipsy at the end of the night. Then Thursday afternoon we all went over to my uncle Ray's parents' house for Christmas Eve. Dinner consisted of shrimp gumbo over rice with salad and of course there desserts a plenty. Then it came to the steal-a-gift. Crystal eded up getting a set of bath stuff and I wound up getting a charging station which is gonna be really cool. Then it was back to my aunt Charissa's house later that evening to open presents and eat more food. Me and Crystal each got a throw blanket as well as various stocking stuffers. Then there was Christmas Day which was a day to feast, feast, feast, feast, feast, feast, and feasting is a good thing. Rib roast with mased potatoes, kerneled corn, brussel sprouts and rolls. Not to mention the huge amount of appetizers before-hand., plus the desserts. We would have stayed an extra night, but something came up with my uncle Ray's work so he and my aunt Charissa drove us home today. We stopped in Fulshire to visit my dad's grave. I actually spoke to hime for the first time since he passed away 21 years ago. I almost lost it because it was so emotional for me because I was so young when he passed away and I really never got to know him because of the fact that I was so young at the time.I learned quite about him and I'm so much like him, it's scary. My eye color, my hair color, my build, hell even my overprotective streak I got all from my dad, as I found out. Even my nutty sense of humor, I get from my dad. I pulled a funny that caused Crystal to laugh almost to the point of peeing herself. I had a garlic parmesean wing in my hand, fed it to Crystal, and said, "Have a pop-over Froggie." which comes from "The Frog Prince". All-in-all, it was a great time and I think we're gonna go back down there to Simonton durring the summertime.

All righty, I know it's been a while since I last updated, but things have been pretty crazy around here. Ah, today makes 18 months to the day that Crystal and I have together and it's been so amazing. The past 18 months have been the best I've ever known and I can't wait for her to get down her for good tomorrow. She is so absolutely amazing in every sense of the word and I can't wait for us to start our lives together. She is the absolute love of my life and I'll never let her go. Tomorrow is the magic day when she moves down here and I'm so excited. She gets into Austin at 4:50 P.M. and it's gonna be me bouncing off the walls waiting for her to get here. I'm so excited because I can't wait for us to start our lives together. I know that we may have our ups and downs our bumps n the road, but we'll always have each other and that's what matters the msot. Tomorrow during the afternoon, I'm gonna be absolutely going bonkers waiting for her to land and get off the jetway. I'm gonna be there when she lands waiting for her. I'm so excited and just anxious to know that I'm not just dreaming and that she's actually coming and that this time it's for good. Class is going pretty well, and Saturday is going to be a brainstorming night for my English paper, I think. Saturday night is going to be a late one I think. Well, I'm outta here but I'll add more later

All right y'all, I know that it's been a while, but things have been pretty crazy around here. My brain has been spinning around at about 70,000 miles an hour. I got the news the other day that Crysta is moving to Austin come 2 weeks from today. I absolutely can't wait until she gets here late in the afternoon on the 12th of next month. I'm so excited I cant' wait for her to get here. It's going to be an excellent day and I can't wait for Crystal to get here and be here permanantly so I can hold her close in my arms next to me. We got quite a bit of stuff done yesterday but we've still got quite a bit left to do to get ready for both of us to move because we both may be moving on the same day. I'll find out if I'll be moving on Monday or Tuesday and if it comes through I'll be moving to the other side of town in a couple of weeks from now. A lot of stuff needs to get done once she gets here including a trip to Round Rock to do a job application for Sears and taking care of other loose ends including getting some things at Wal-Mart, so we've got a few things to do once she gets here but I know we'll be able to get it done. I'm so excited that my head is about to start spinning again.

Okay, I know it's been forever and a day since I've updated, but things have been goin on around here y'all. School just started the other day, and it's going pretty good so far. I went into English thinking that it was gonna be hell, but actually, when I got in there, it's starting to seem like it's gonna be pretty interesting analyzing different subjects in culture and society, so we'll see how that goes. Then thre's that thing called College Math, to which for me doesn't take much explanation because I knew that was gonna be an absolute cakewalk and it still is. Then there's this speech class that I've got called Interpersonal Communication, which is gonna be interesting with all these weekly writing exams, so we'll see how that goes. Then last night, me and Crystal spent the whole night making wedding plans, and it was awesome. We've got everything just about all planned out. We're doing a total beach theme at her parents' house in Delaware. We were on a sight called www.islandweddingshop.com which is a site for stuff to do island and beach weddings. We've got all the stuff picked out for stuff like the ring pillow, what we're doing for the inviations, which we saw deals for message in a bottle for which is totally awesome, even a sand unity ceremony. We even found a sandcastle pen set and guest book. We've decided that tealight candles for the centerpieces for the tables. It's gonna be really neat. I can't wait for the day that we get married. It's gonna be an awesome day on 6/5/11.

All right y'all, things have been kinda crazy around here the last couple of days. Of course, I was on the local news on Monday morning with the story being about the break-in that happenned at my place back in June. Of course, I've been making the last few preparatrions for class, which starts on the 24th. I had to get the electronic versions of my textbooks ordered and hopefully that stuff will come in by the end of this week. Then, there's the fact that I may be moving very very soon because my mother took one view of the news story and she wants to try to get me into a safer complex so I may be moving as soon as next weekend. Apparantly, someone was watching the news that day and I may be getting a new laptop. No details on that one yet. Today makes 17 months that me and Crystal together and it's been so awesome. I love her so very much and I so can't wait for her to get down here permanantly. She is so absolutely amazing and I can't believe that time has flown by so quickly. I can't wait for the day that she walks down that aisle and takes my last name because I love her with absolutely everything that I am and I'll never let her go. She is my absolute everything, my soulmate, the one who completes me. She's made the last 17 months the best I've ever known.

Ok, as the title of this entry suggests, me and Crystal went out to Joe's Crab Shack Thursday night, which unfortunately was her last night here, and it was a great time had by both of us. We started out with an appetizer of crab nachos, which were really good. Then, our entrees came and the Tigger starts showing off. She got the Bean-Town bake while I tried my luck with the Orleans steam pot, which turned out to be a big mistake on my part because it turned out to be a crawfish broil. Well, y'all ain't gonna believe this, but Crystal managed to crack the lobster on her first try. It look me a few tries to pull that off. Nice going babe. Then, of couse, after dinner, while we were ordering dessert, which was cheesecake of course, Crystal told the waitress that it was my birthday, so everybody in the restaraunt starts singing to me. Nice going Tigger. Just remember that your birthday will be coming up soon and well let's just say that turn-about is fair play. That was our night out before she had to go back home on Friday afternoon and that was sad. I really enjoyed her visit down here and hopefully she'll be back here in Austin very soon. I love her with absolutely everything that I am and I can't wait for the day that she gets down here for good.

Hey y'all, Tigger is still here for the next couple of days, but I just don't want her to go. I know we haven't done a whole heck of a lot, but it's been amazing just having her here. Just being with each other arm in arm has been absolutely amazingly wonderful and I don't want her to go home on Friday. Thank goodness we're gonna be out and about tomorrow doing stuff. I can't believe almost 2 weeks has gone by so quickly and it's gonna really suck on Friday afternoon when she gets on that plane to go home and I get home that evening, I know all too well that I'm going to lose it then. It's been like heaven being in her arms, and it's gonna be hell when I step in the apartment and she's not here and it hits me hard, and I know that it's gonna hit me even harder when I lay down and reach over and she's not there laying in my bed next to me. I just really really don't want her to go back home. It's gonna be absolute hell to walk in the door and not have Crystal here. The past 2 weeks have been absolutely awesome and I can't wait until I see her again in October. It's gonna be absolutely amazing when I go up there, even though it's only gonna be for a few days, but it's still gonna be wonderful. I don't know how I'm gonna sleep on Friday night because I know I'm really gonna be missing my Crystal. While she's been here it's been so amazing, and it's gonna hurt to have to see her go. I'm outta here so I can spend some more time with Crystal, but I'll be back later.

My oh my oh my, I know it's been a while since I last updated, but things have been very busy around here lately. Last Friday, Crystal flew in from Delaware, and that was excellent. Now, I thought that she was gonna wait to be the last one off the plane like last time she was here, but she surprised me. She was the first one off the plane in an absolute dead sprint and then gave me a really long kiss, which was really sweet. We got back here and hung out because the next day, we got on the bus and headed down to Brenham to meet with my parents, and from there we headed to their place for a couple of nights. Saturday, we had people over for a barbecue and that was absolutely awesome. During this event, Tigger surprised me with my birthday presents. She surprised me with a set of Bose speakers for my computer as well as my Victor. Yay! I can't believe how well my Crystal gets along with my parents. It's really awseome. Then, on Sunday, which was my birthday, me, my parents, Tigger, and my 2 step-brothers all went to the Astros game. First, we went to the Home Plate Grill before the game and had burgers and fries for lunch. The tea tasted like crap, but oh well. Then, during the game, there a lot of pictures taken by my omom of us at the ballpark. That was really fun despite the fact that the Stros lost to the New York Mets, 8-3. We tried to go to the pool in the neighborhood that evening, but it started thundering right as we were getting to the pool. Monday, me, Crystal, and my mom went to the outlet mall by the house. Then we picked up the boys from soccer camp, and then headed out to Brenham to get the bus back here to Austin. The tea at Chili's where we ate also tasted like muddy water, to which I say "POUT!". The rest of the day on Monday, we just chilled and cuddled. Most of the rest of the week was spent the same way. I went to the store a couple of times for stuff that we needed. Then, today, we went to The Cheesecake Factory and it was absolutely awesome. Tigger had Fried Mac 'N Cheese and grilled porkchops while I had Tex-Mex egg rolls and beer battered fish 'n chips. Then we both had a slice of their chocolate mousse cheesecake, which was absolutely awesome. The food, atmosphere, and service were all absolutely amazing. We're probably gonna go out a few more times before Crystal goes home on Friday, which I'm not looking forward to at all. Well, I'll come back later in the week

Hey y'all, I say it's been an interesting week for me this week. I've been doing paperwork for the new place that I'm going to be moving into next month. Well, I dropped off the lease yesterday after filing a written request to get the window fixed. If they don't fix it within a reasonable time there'll be more leverage for me when it comes to getting out of my current lease, which is a definite good thing. Today is an awesome day because today makes 16 months for me and Crystal being together as a couple. I can't believe that time has gone by so fast. I love her so much and I can't wait for her to get here in 13 days. I love her with absolutely everything that I am and I'll never let her go. She is the wind beneath my wings and the one that I lean on when I'm feeling low. She is my soulmate and I can't wait for the day that she gets down here permanantly so that we can be together forever. I sometimes ask myself where I went so right to wind up with someone so amazing as Crystal. Where did I go right? I love you with absolutely everything that I am Crystal and I'll never let you go. Thanks for making the last 16 months the best I've ever known.

All righty then. I know it's been a while since I last posted, but things have actually returned to a semi-normal state around here, or at least what I think is normal. I've been looking into another apartment complex just down the road and I plan on moving in on August 22nd, which is just 2 days before the beginning of the semester. I spent yesterday looking up books for the Fall and oh my am I looking at a lot of textbooks, 6 to be exact. I'm gonna try to get them ordered in the electronic format this coming week and then try to get the print versions the next week. Wednesday night was fun. Me and Crystal spent the whole night just downloading stuff from Rhapsody. Rhapsody is awesome! I think I downloaded and converted about 700 songs in a 24-hour span. That was absolutely awesome. I can't wait for the 24th because that is when Crystal comes down here for 2 weeks and I so can not wait for that. It's gonna be totally awesome. We're gonna spend a week at my parents house and then we're gonna spend the second week here at my place and it's gonna be a blast. I've been reading My Sister's Keeper lately. It's a book about a girl with Leukemia who's being kept alive by donations of cells from her sister and it's really awesome. Other thatn that it's been rather routine around here. I can't wait for her to get here so I can fall asleep with her in my arms and wake up with her in my arms. Can the 24th of July just hurry up and get here yet pout? I love Crystal with absolutely everything that I am and there's absolutely nothing that will ever change that.
