Calculated

Still not much happening wedding wise. One thing that we've been talking about is where to put everything once the households are combined. We both have housefuls of furniture. I've got it mapped out in my head....everything is visualized. I'm not bringing too much, and he won't have to get rid of a ton, just a couple of things. It'll be those little things that will tie everything together. New throw pillows, little decorative things....it'll meld nicely. We're going to have to finish the master bath with paint and fixtures (this also included stripping off some quite stubborn wallpaper), finish the wash on the kitchen cabinets, doing something to the flooring in the office/hall/back room, and organizing the crud out of the office (which is going to be one of the funniest things).

One thing we did yesterday is meet my cousin Dallas and his girlfriend Laura. This was my first time meeting her, and let me just say right off the bat...she's super!!! We had a great time chatting and laughing with them. I'm really excited that Dallas will be opening a restaurant in downtown Louisville this October or November. Laura said something not long before we were about to leave...something to the effect: hope I didn't talk too much (which she didn't--we enjoyed everything she had to say)...she said...I'm talkative and Dallas is a quite one. That he talks more to her, but not as much out. I haven't seen Dallas a lot, not since we were kids have we hung out a ton, but that is something I know about him. He said....well, I'm just more calculated...I can say stupid things in front of you. So cut to later...Jeff and I back on I-85 headed back to Greenville...he said I wanted to say EXACTLY when Dallas said that....Yeah, me too. It's not that I don't say stupid things in front of people beside Jeff...or do stupid things either. I mean of course we have friends that we're comfortable around. Morgan and Leisa have seen me do/say incredibly things probably more than anyone else. I think Jeff is a little bit more reserved than me. I've gotten a little bit more comfortable in recent years about things I'll say/do in public. I've also noticed that when I'm in public, but surrounded by my friends I'm a little looser than if I were alone, or with someone that I'm not so close to. I was thinking last night...you know if I'm with Jeff I just don't care nearly as much about what others may think of me. I know that he accepts me as is. It's just awesome to have someone that you are going to spend your life with that you're that so awesomely comfortable around. Already there's plenty of stupid things between us already...and there's so much more to come I'm sure.
