Short and sweet.

I don't know if I've mentioned it yet -- but Aaron and I have an apartment! Like, signed the lease and everything.
It certainly needs some fixing up and a fresh coat of paint, but it's big and it has a backyard (for gardening which I am SO excited about). Now it's just the packing and carrying lots of heavy boxes part. I can't wait to paint and make it into a home for us. It's going to be perfect... and I know this because Aaron will be there with me, so even if it was falling apart it would be amazing.

Just a small update tonight. I must go hide under the covers and get warm.

Things! Also, stuff.

Aaron and I were looking at apartments yesterday, and surprisingly enough threw in an application today. It's a really nice two bedroom at Danforth and Coxwell with a sweet landlady.

Though, that said, there's a great place at Pape and Gowan which I would love for the location, more than this one.

Anyway. I hope we get one of the two and then we won't have to worry about anything for the rest of the month. I can't wait to paint and decorate and live with the boy!

Continued excitement and a little sappy.

So, I talked to Neil (my roommate) this morning re: living with Aaron. He seems to be okay, and I hope he's not just putting on a brave face about it. The timeline is set to February -- although, we'll be getting together and talking about it on Wednesday. And, February seems so far away. I wish it was tomorrow... but that would be jerky of me, and also, wouldn't give me much time to pack.

But! This is not why I wanted to post tonight.

I wanted to post tonight because I have no stopped thinking about Saturday night and how absolutely fantastic it was. So, here I am about to go into more depth...

We were woken up on Saturday morning by two little (adorable) munchkins jumping on us, which was followed by delicious pancakes and morning drinks at my brothers (by morning drinks, I of course mean beer. No, just kidding. Coffee and tea). Then Dave (the brother of mine) drove us back to Aaron's place -- where Aaron and I went straight back to bed until noon or possibly later. In between then and seven (when we left) we did stuff like... you know, have sex. He played on the internets for a bit and I played an awful lot of Sudoku.

Then we headed downtown to watch Repo! Which mostly meant standing in line until the show had started. I hooked Aaron up with a free VIP pass (because I work in the industry) and sent him on his way -- which caused the other people in line to tell me that I was a fantastic girlfriend. He watched the movie and I browsed a used record store (right beside the theatre).

When the movie ended we just walked. We walked around the downtown a little (and through the Annex on our way to Queen). We window shopped and held hands and he tried to keep me warm. It was just this perfect night... that is apparently hard for me to explain. But... in the end, it has kept me smiling for at least two days now.

And... I have to stop. I could talk about Aaron until my laptop runs out of power (and longer if there was anyone left to listen).

I hope that everyone else has had a good weekend too!

Excitement!

Aaron has agreed to move in with me. Wait, that sounds like I was forcing him. Okay, Aaron has decided that we should be living together. Does that sound better? Yes.

I am beyond excited. I'm so excited that I want to pick out furniture and colour schemes. I have been thinking about nothing else except all of the weird domesticated things I would like to do in our apartment. Simple things like... I want to make him dinner, or, I want to buy the newspaper on Saturday's and do the crossword at the kitchen table. This is absolutely nothing like me, and I love it!

Just a few hitches, of course, like always. But hopefully nothing too big. I want to be living with him in January, February at the latest... of course, I have a roommate currently and I don't know how he'll react to this -- but! this is what's best for me, Aaron, my cat, and also this wonderful relationship I'm in.

Oh, I need to calm down... it's still months away. I certainly have to start saving up money for first and last again.

Otherwise, things have been good. Spent some time with my brother and his wife/kids on Friday. Had a fantastic lunch with my mom on Friday afternoon at Mahari (or something that sounds like that) downtown -- I had chicken curry). Saturday I spent with Aaron. We went to see Repo! at the Bloor... it was way too busy. I didn't get in, but I got a VIP pass from one of my bosses and that got Aaron in at least. And then we went for a walk downtown and it was an absolutely perfect night. 10/10.

And now, now I need sleep. For, I have to wake up early to catch Neil and talk to him since the morning is the only time when we'll both see each other.

Good night, and all that.
