During which Doug and I once again fought. Well, only on Sunday actually. Saturday night he was so super nice to me it wasn't even funny. He went to the mall with me to buy Desire's birthday present and didn't whine when I drug him to CoachHouse, Fireside Gifts, and Hallmark! Well, I think Hallmark was his breaking point, if we'd been there too much longer he would have snapped. Then he even let me rent Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason. I loved the movie, but couldn't help but think that I didn't remember Renee Zellweger looking that bad in the first one and it is supposed to pick up 6 weeks after the end of the first movie...how do you put on 20 pounds in 6 weeks?
Okay, I'm getting off topic. Sunday was the day we fought. At least that morning. It started when he said he didn't want to go by the house with me when I went to help Desire take down the wallpaper. I wanted him to see the house in the daylight, so that he could get a better idea. The last time we were there half the light bulbs were burned out. But he was hellbent on getting started on his car. Or so he said. When I left he was laying on the couch. And he spent most of the morning shushing me anytime I tried talking about the house. Which I know, I talk about alot, but I am so excited! So I told him that I didn't want him moving in with me just because it was going to be cheap and I left. And while I was driving to Desire's I called him and also told him I wasn't going to talk about the house anymore.
Okay, so maybe we didn't really fight. There was no yelling or anything like that. More like my being irritated. That seems to be happening alot lately. Is something wrong with me? Maybe it's PMS, but I think alot of it is just that I am scared. Scared that this is going to be a huge disaster, scared that I won't be able to do it, scared that it's going to ruin what I have with Doug. I guess I'm just going to have to wait and find out, right?

I wish Josh would shop without whining! How'd you get him to do that? ;)
I watched Bridget Jones over the weekend too! I liked it, but I agree, Renee Zellweger looked terrible! Maybe they had a different stylist and makeup person because her skin tone was awful. She looked alot older, too. (Gosh I'm mean!)
About your fight, I don't blame you for being irritated. It is so frustrating to be excited about something, and to want someone to be excited with you, and they act like they don't care. It is especially hard, I think, when you are people like us that love to plan and talk about all the little details. (OH! I wish I was there to help you! My fingers are just itching to break out a planning book!)
About you being scared, of course you are! I'd think it was weird if you weren't! It is a big change, and to borrow an extremely overused phrase from the last bachelorette, you are taking a "Leap of Faith". But whether or not Doug is excited about this move right now (and I'm willing to bet that when the time comes, he WILL be), he is taking this leap with you. And that means that HE believes it is the right thing to do too. Which I think is a great sign...
I'm so glad you commented! I was starting to worry about you. I think he shopped without whining because he was feeling guilty about playing golf that afternoon.
Thanks for all of your wisdom. Sometimes I don't know what I would do without it. :-)
