Oh, it IS love... Lucky!

I've spent the last few days enjoying some quality time with mister Alexander in Louisville. Thursday I came up to Cincinnati to do some work and afterwards I picked up Alex and brought him back to Louisville with me since he didn't have to work Thurs/Fri.

Since Thursdays are our dinner/shows nights with the girls, Alex got to join in on that. We had fajitas (compliments of Cara) which were awesome... and then afterwards we went to 32*(Yogurt Bar) for dessert. This has become quite the little tradition among our friends and Alex got to join in, for once :) You can choose your frozen yogurt flavor (10 different flavors!) and then there's an entire bar of different toppings. You pay by the ounce. Alex, of course, had the most expensive yogurt with over $8.00 in ounces! How many is that? lol A lot.. that is all I know.  The only pictures I have for this afternoon's blog are photos of us with our yogurts... lol fun and yum times.

My 32* - Topped with Fruity Pebbles, Blueberries, and chocolate chips

Yesterday Alex came to school with me - and while I was in class, he just watched videos on his laptop (and mine after his battery died, of course)... We had lunch at The Cafe (best chicken salad everrrrrr!) and then went back to the apartment aftewards. A part of us wanted to come home to nky for the evening, hoping to maybe get together with Brew and Lauren... but by the time we heard back from Brew, we were already lazy on the couch and didn't want to move a muscle at that point in time - especially to be in the car for an hour. Yuck.. so instead we stayed in Louisville for the night and went out with Annie and Cara. We went to dinner and a movie.. boring, nah. In fact, we had quite the lucky night. First, we went to dinner - where we were told it was an hour wait... and while waiting, a young couple gave us their pager as it was going off since they were eating at the bar instead... so our waiting went from 60 minutes down to 5. It was awesome! We offered to buy them drinks or an appetizer to show our gratitude, but they insisted they didn't want anything. Next, when we went to pay, we found that our waiter had given us a free appetizer... Awesome... And then at the movies, where there is almost NEVER any parking, we were lucky enough to get a practically front row parking spot. It's the little things that count, but boy were we so very lucky... Made for a good atmosphere for the evening. I'm pretty sure my FB profile picture fits very well!

Today, although it is only noon, I am having a great day. Woke up to my love, drove home with my love, and am now cozy at my mom's house with my puppies doing work and relaxing. It's a dreary day out, but for some reason, I have this notion of happiness. I'm not quite sure if its because I am in the comfort of "mom's house" or if its because I know I get to see Alex again later today, or if its just simply because it is Saturday and I have no school to attend... who knows. Regardless, its a good day and I am happy.

Oh our way up from Louisville this morning, Alex and I were listening to music, of course... and I threw some good "throwbacks" on.. like HelloGoodbye.. "Oh, it is love..." and I can't help but just love that song.

"Oh,it is love from the first time I set my eyes upon yours thinking "Oh, is it love?"

Oh, dear
It's been hardly a moment
And you are already missed
There is still a bit of your skin
That I've yet to have kissed

Oh say please do not go
But you know, oh, you know that I must
Oh say I love you so
But you know, oh, you know you can trust

We'll be holding hands once again
All our broken plans I will mend
I will hold you tight so you know

It is love from the first
Time I pressed my hand to yours
Thinking, "Oh, is it love?"

Oh, dear,
It's been hardly three days
And I'm longing to feel your embrace.
There are several days
Until I can see your sweet face.

Oh say,
wouldn't you like to be older and married with me?
Oh say,
wouldn't it be nice to know right now that we'll be

Someday holding hands in the end
All our broken plans will have been
I will kiss you soft so you know

It is love from the first
Time I pressed my lips against yours
Thinking, "Oh, is it love?"

I hope...

Your heart may long for love that is more near
So when I'm gone these words will be here
To ease every fear
And dry up every tear
And make it very clear
I kiss you and I know

It is love from the first
Time I pressed my lips against yours
Thinking, "Oh, is it love?"

Oh, it is love from the first
Time I pressed my lips against yours
Thinking, "Oh, is it love?"

I kiss you and I know
It is love from the first
Time I pressed my lips onto yours
Thinking, "Oh, is it love?" "

Not only does it have a good meaning, but its fun and bouncy and just so happy-go-lucky... I, personally, can't get it out of my head. "Oh... it is love... "  I don't generally brag to the world about how happy I am, because honestly, those types of people just irritate the heck out of me. I don't put on my status every single day how I miss and love my boyfriend, and how happy I am, and how he is my 'everything' etc... Because that is just tacky. Sure, is it nice that people are happy, absolutely... but to constantly tell the world, I just think that it is annoying. So, like I said, I try hard not to. But, honestly, I am so very happy. And since people CHOOSE to read my blog, and don't have to view it (like you HAVE to get stuck reading people's statuses on your facebook home page...) I figure I'll tell the world here. That way, I don't annoy people. And that way, the people who are reading this are doing so because they choose to.

I couldn't have asked for a better partner/boyfriend. I have been through the ringer with guys, so its wonderful to finally have a solid respectable loving man in my life, who actually cares about more than just himself. Alex cares about me - he's concerned about us, and our happiness as a couple and as individuals. And I love that about him. It's not just all about him, or all about me... its an actual true group effort. Sure we have our small issues, our ups and downs, but I wouldn't trade it for the world. For the world. And one of the best aspects about having Alex in my life, is not only my personal happiness and enjoyment with him, but the fact that my friends and family love him just as much. In fact, I adore it when I hear he has spent time with my family when I'm not around. Or with my friends. It's great. Tonight, I am babysitting, and the kids are super pumped Alex is going to be there with me... why? Because even they love having Alex around. So on the notion of lucky, I sure have won the jackpot :)

-end lovey dovey rant-

I hope everyone has a wonderful and rewarding Saturday...!
