TOP SECRET

I know a secret! It's a wonderful secret! 

I'm not allowed to tell anyone what it is so I'm not.

 I was told I'm allowed to tell Johnny so I did. 

Johnny likes the secret too. When I learned this secret it made my day.

There's nothing like a good, happy secret... You know, when you say the word secret over and over again it starts to sound like a funny word. 

ssssseeeeeeeeeeeecret.

Don't worry, when I'm allowed to tell the secret I will tell you. And I'm sure you will understand why it is such a good secret. 

Yesterday

was such a good day, I don't know why I didn't blog.

One of the best things of yesterday was that I wrote my first final already. That's one down and three to go. I can do this.

Another awesome of yesterday was my nap. Oh my word, it was glorious. I had no idea I could still nap for a solid 2 hours!

And the cherry on top of my yesterday cupcake was that it was Johnny and I's 8-month anniversary! I am only making a big deal out of it because 8 is one of my favourite numbers and I have to wait far too long for our 8 year anniversary to make a big deal out of that one. Next month will be our 9 month anniversary which is 3 quarters of a year. I'm even more excited for that number because 3/4 is my favourite fraction.

I told Johnny about this on the phone last night and he said that since 13 is his favourite number he claims our 13th anniversary as his anniversary. He is going to treat me like a princess on all the other anniversaries, but for the 13th I have to treat him. To be honest, I'm scared I'm going to forget all about it. Should I start planning now so I don't have to worry about it down the road? I'm sure we'll have at least a couple children by then, so life will probably be more hectic. It'd be better if I just saved myself all the stress in the future and planned it now.

I seriously cannot wait for us to grow old together. I can't wait to see what life has in store for us and the things we will experience together. I once heard that you know you're in love when you imagine yourself spending forever with that person and it doesn't seem long enough. I must have it bad for Johnny, because to imagine an eternity with him only seems like the beginning...

Oh the irony

I am positive - absolutely certain - that once I wrote my post about why I don't have a car, the universe set itself to conspire against me and make me eat my words. Then I wrote another post whining about how Johnny won't be home for the rest of April; and I am gladly eating my words on that one too.

So yes, that means that Johnny and I have bought another car. I was completely opposed to the idea at first, trust me, but I had to break down because so did the clutch on our first baby.

Here's the story:

Johnny came home this week for an unexpected week off. And with him he brought our car, Lupe (pronounced LOOP-ay). Turns out the clutch had been acting up on him all the way home so we talked to a mechanic to diagnose the problem.

The mechanic told us she could be fixed for a resonable price and we were relieved until we discovered she couldn't be fixed until next week. Johnny had to leave for work before then so we weren't sure what we should do.

We weighed our options, explored our avenues, toyed with ideas, and in the end, decided to buy another car.

So we've bought ourselves a 2007 Nissan Versa. She's been good so far, and will earn her stars once she survives her trip up to Grande Prairie with Johnny this month. I've decided to name her Ronnie - short for Veronica.

As for Lupe, she's staying home with me for now and will be going into the shop on Tuesday. I still don't know how I feel about having a car, but I must admit, it's nice to be able to go out for groceries whenever I want and to have the freedom to go where I want without having to mooch a ride off someone first.

just keep smiling...

This next month is going to be a challenge. Classes are ending, finals are coming and I am struggling to find the motivation to get myself through it all. And the fact that Johnny's not going to be home at all  this month doesn't help things.

But you know what, moping isn't going to help anything. It's always nice to have something to make you smile when you're stressing, so here is where my smile came from today:



Are you surprised?
