As we pulled up to the gate at MacDill Air Force Base, I wondered if the heavily armed and attentive guard would notice my nervous smile and sweaty hands. Would he mistake my shifty eyes for “suspicious behavior” and ask us to pull over? Christina, who was driving, was relaxed and calm as she handed…
Valentine’s Day has never been one of my favorite holidays. It has always been about waiting. In elementary school, I waited for a secret admirer’s special valentine to magically appear on my desk while I was at recess. It didn’t. In high school, I waited outside the weight room for my long-time crush to emerge…
Isaac and I don’t fight a lot, we got that out early on in our relationship. Even then, we never went at it the way I have with past boyfriends. The reason is probably because at the beginning when we would disagree about something and I would start to BLOW UP at him (it was…
Isaac look at this picture of my friend’s potential wedding dress. Do you like it, I mean from a guy’s perspective? Uhh, yeah sure (walks away). That’s it?? “Yeah sure?” Yeah. You asked from a guy’s point of view, so that’s what you get. Dangit, you’re absolutely right.
Last night, many people my age were out celebrating the new year like this and some people like this I am fighting off some type of respiratory infection so I said goodbye to 2012 like a sexy Darth Vader asthma nebulizing kitten. I stuck to my vegan diet for dinner And Isaac made surf N…

Isaac: I really wish you would put pictures in the frames on your wall Me: Why? Isaac: It’s just weird, it’s been almost a year. You’re not nesting Me: I have totally nested, look at the rest of my room! Anyway, I kind of like the people in the frame now. I’m used to them,…
Me: There have been a lot of burglaries in the area lately so we definitely need to keep our doors locked Isaac: Okay. I’ll setup booby traps like in Home Alone Me: <<laughs>> Isaac: Alright I put my free weights at the top of the stairs so we can drop them on burglars heads. I…
I had just walked in the door at 10:30pm Isaac: Is that salad in the fridge for me? Me: No, that’s my lunch for tomorrow Isaac: Oh, I ate some chicken and peppers out of it Me: Isaac! Isaac: What?! I thought you made me dinner and left it in the fridge. I also thought…
Life for Isaac and I has gotten very routine. I didn’t realize just how robot-like we had gotten until our recent vacation to Seabrook Island. Every week it’s the same exact thing, and we can’t do much about it. Because I have gotten so used to my routine, it was really difficult for me to relax…
