Reflections on a clean kitchen

We finally got the pigsty we were calling a kitchen clean the other day, and now its so nice to be in the kitchen. There's something so nice about finally getting a disaster finally corralled into something nice. We've finally began cooking in our nice kitchen again, which is even better. There's something just so wonderful about being in your home, with your loved one, and a nice meal you've made together and just enjoying the company of each other. Its something that I'm sure gets lost over time, maybe because people dont appreciate it as time goes on, but thats true for a lot of things and more importantly, a lot of people.

Button and I went to champaign saturday after she got off work. We first went to Strawberry Fields, where Button got her natural and health food fix,, and I got some more Annies pasta-in-a-box er... boxes. (YAY!!) We then went to the Verizon store, and looked at the phones we're going to be getting. Finally, we went to Borders, where we looked at all the books, and we both bought books. Button got a book on simple vegitarian dishes, and I got a book called "The Lovely Bones". I read it on Sat and Sunday and was finished with it on Sunday night. It was one of the best books I've read in a long while. Quite beautiful and heartbreaking. We then went to RED LOBSTER(!!!) where I of course had Shrimp Alfredo and a shit ton of biscuts(!!!!!)

I think Friday is going to be a Stevie D appreciation night, which will be great since I'm checking on frida day. Meh. Anyways, we're going to the GREAT and WONDERFUL Cross County Mall (or whatever the fuck it calls its podunk mall wannabe self) for Chinese Buffet action! And then going to see Ultraviolet, which I've been wanting to see since the first commercial for it. It looks cool, yo.

Looking back is good, I suppose

I was thinking earlier about how much things have changed over the past two years. (ps, note to self, y button sticks, avoid letter y words)

My life has finally reached a point where it is not a dail struggle for sanity, or to just keep up with today, but to finally be in a place where I find myself optomistic about m fututre.

The incredible ways in which my life have changed did so with some bang, and a lot of support from one Button. And as the date of our engamement closes in, I think its fair to thank her so much for helping me to find a happier place to be in.

I love you so much angel.
