| My boss certainly knows how to motivate a person. Right before I left for Cincinnati for a training trip, he tells me that HR is having issues with keeping a temp who technically doesn't meet the requirements for her job that she does. I think it's hilarious since I -can- do my job without the certifications needed. Ah well. So he tells me that if I don't start school asap (like I was going to do anyways) that it'll be hard to renew my contract again. So now I get to plan my future and this training trip will help me figure out what field I want to go in for school. I think I might get my BA in psychological stats and then go for a masters in market research. I really love my job and I'd like to keep it. Oh yeah, the best part that I forgot to mention. He said that if I continue down this path, I could be making in a week what I make in a month now. I think quadrupling my salary is totally worth it. I get paid the big bucks AND I'm doing something I really enjoy and am fanscinated with. Life can't get any better then that. Oh wait, it CAN! My parents like Mark which is a massive plus for me. He was allowed over to the house and had supper with my parents. So YAY! I'm getting addicted to him...which could be very bad or very good. I haven't decided which just yet but we'll see what the future brings. And I'm still waiting on him passing the test with a few more important people that I know. My sister and black belts top that list. Okay, I should get back up to my hotel room now. I'll let you know how the training/class thing goes. I can't wait! Ye gods...I'm eager about school.... | | |
| So, we managed to get about 95% of my place packed up and put at the new house. The rest I'm going to get today by car and clean up. Mark was able to get all the big things moved from his place and all that's left are a bunch of boxes. So we'll at least have everything in the house by tonight. Well, that's the hope anyways.
Yesterday was interesting. First, no one showed up to help me pack/load up except for Kat. So I called around and found my buddy Matt and his friend Jarrod. They were blissfully free and came over. We got a few of the big things put in the truck before my whirlwind of a boyfriend showed up. I think if it wasn't for Mark, we wouldn't have gotten as far as we did. Unfortunately, Mark was also having a bad day. And to top off the long night, his moped broke down and he has no way to fix it any time soon. Aside from putting everything in the garage, I think we got a lot done moving wise. I reassembled the bed and the couch. Which it was nice to sleep on a bed right after all that hard work. It's an old habit of mine. The first thing I do when I move into a new place is put the bed back together. The second is unpack the kitchen. This time...well...nothing is labeled so I'm just going to unpack as I go through the garage. And this weekend, Mark and I will have fun deciding what goes where. And I get the office for myself so all my TKD stuff will end up in that room.
Hmm, not too many bumps and bruises for the night. Ironically, the person who got hurt the most during the move was me. Shesh, I'm a klutzy black belt. I cut the tip of my finger when moving a handful of razors (yeah I know, I was moving fast and not thinking). I bruised/scraped my arm on the TV stand. I smacked my head into a railing. And I dropped the TV on my own hand. Granted, all my ouches didn't last for long. Poor Mark woke up in the middle of the night and both of his legs had cramped up. Which reminds me, I need to remember to pick up some potassium. I have no idea why but low potassium is somehow linked to night muscle cramps. Which is why I always have a big bottle of it. You lose a lot of minerals when you work out a lot and if you're prone to heat sickness and your body uses up everything in your body like fire eats up dry paper, then you lose even more minerals. So replacing them is a VERY good idea. Otherwise, cramps! Now, potassium isn't the only one they believed is linked to muscle cramps. They also think low calcium, magnesium, and sodium affect this. Well, most people can get those three easily. Anyways, got off on a tangent there.
The end of the night landed on a very cute note. A little quote I probably won't forget for awhile. It's cheesy but I found it to be just darling. Mark said to me "I want to go buy towels for our house. The guests can use the towels we have now. But I want to get towels for us. For our house."
I need to get back to work. But yes, the move went well (so far) and I'll tell you one thing, it was wonderful to wake up and realize I was in my own home.
Yes, I think it's safe to say, SueJin is very happy =)

| Well, in a couple of hours, I'm going to be moving my stuff into my house. Yes, I have my own house now. I'm freaking excited! Granted, I'm only half packed but meh, it'll all get there somehow. It's a beautiful house and I'll post pictures after the move. I'd link the real estate page but I'm not in the mood for the world to know where I live. And for those who want my new addy, you know how to find me!
I'm very very excited because I've never owned a house. And the place is HUGE! Three bedrooms, three bathrooms, and a two car garage. A giant backyard. I'm going to have a big party after a bit to celebrate. Of course, as excited as I am, there's a nervous end to it. I'm going to have a roommate. And I really haven't had a roommate before. (not sure if college counts). Oh yeah, did I mention my roommate is going to be my boyfriend? Yeah, Mark is moving in with me. I'm very nervous about this. People don't understand why I'm nervous about it.
Good things don't happen to me very often and so far, Mark and I have been going great. He makes me smile and he takes care of me. It's a wonderful relationship of give and take. Nice and balanced. Now we're going to toss in living together and seeing each other constantly. We'll see how this goes. We already agreed on having occasional time for ourselves. As in, we have a night or two that we spend apart. And we have already decided on splitting the bills 50/50 and even sharing on the grocery costs. I'm going to be hitting up Dream Dinners for part of that too. And if you don't know what that is, I suggest you check it out. It's AWESOME.
Speaking of which, I need to head out for lunch with him and go pick up the moving van. Don't worry, for those of you in the states (sorry Daithi, love ya buddy boy but...don't think you can teleport over for this one), I'll send you an invite for the open house party once it's all planned out.
Latas all!

| In a couple of weeks, Mark and I will have been together for 3 months. The amusing part, on the day that is exactly 3 months after we met, Flannigan's Right Hook is playing at Raglan Road again. So, it's like what happened 3 months ago is repeating itself. It's kind of nice how it ended up that way. But markers like this make me think.
Very few men get to this point with me in a relationship. Technically, only one other person has in the past. So, I had been thinking about it last night. And it's interesting. I keep worrying about old worries. Worries I had because I had been cheated on in the past. Worries of being left behind again. But now that I really think on it. I honestly don't believe I have to worry about it anymore. And something about realizing that fact put my mind into motion. I went through and thought about everything that made me worry. And realized where my migraines have been coming from. I've been giving them to myself. I've been so caught up in worrying about everything, I forgot to breathe. And then I realized something else. Mark has been making it so I don't worry about everything because he takes some of the worry off my shoulders.
Oh yeah, did I write about what happened when he met my parents? I think I forgot to write about it. Mark came to August testing. And it was wonderful to see him sitting there watching testing and he was completely fascinated by it all. I could tell he really wants to learn because he wants to learn. Not because I'm in it. He did really good in not hugging me or anything. My dad was completely intrigued because he couldn't guess who in the audience was Mark. My dad invited him back to watch testing again. It was a great success! And my mom had me give him a tour of the house which is unheard of! So the day was perfect.
The ending of the day was a little shaky but in the end, all was good.
I need to get going but I'll try to add more later.
