You know those nights when you just can't sleep for some reason and then you have to get up for work.
And this is what you look like. For 5 minutes. And you just keep rubbing your eyes just because it feels good and it's literally the only thing keeping you from tipping back over and falling asleep again. Yeah.

That has been the past few days for me. It's driving me nuts! I just want to sleep. I love it so much. But for some reason the instant I get home from work in the morning I seem to be wide awake. Yesterday, I cleaned my whole house and did every last shred of laundry. Well, I didn't mop but other than that, I did the whole damn house!

It seems like every time I try to go to bed someone or other is wandering around the house half-slamming doors or watching TV with the volume up too loud. Or doing that thing where they kind of burst through when they open a door. Or it's the damn neighbors and their loud furniture moving noises.

And when I say furniture moving noises, I mean it sounds like they're very careless movers. It sounds like they're picking up really heavy stuff like couches or entertainment centers made of solid wood or something equally heavy, and just dropping it. Right over our bedroom.

Now, I don't know if it's really their fault since the last neighbors seemed to do the same thing. I wonder if it's more their floor and our ceiling not having enough of a sound barrier. Either way though, you'd think that if you had downstairs neighbors that you would at least try to be quiet. Or maybe that's just me.

And this is what I've been trying no to do all night.

I feel like maybe I should invest in some Tylenol PM or something just to knock myself out for a while.

But on a happier note! DBF and I taked about rings yesterday! As in going to look at wedding rings!

We've been talking about getting married from almost the beginning of our relationship (which will hit a year and a half September 6th) and with a deployment coming up the talks have gotten a lot more serious. He deploys again in January of 2013 and our plan was to get married before he deployed again. It seems to have snuck up on us. We only have a little less than 5 months to finally get around to getting married.

We plan on having a wedding ceremony with the reception and everyting once he gets back. But he still has yet to actually ask for my parents' blessing and talk to his family about it. Well, his mom already talks about us getting married but as close as he is to his dad, relationships just aren't something that they just talk about. So now he's got to at least tell his dad what's up before we actually sign the papers. And it would be really nice if our parents all met before we tied the knot. It doesn't seem like a huge list of things to do in approxtimately 4 1/2 months except for the fact that you have to exclude one whole month for the holidays and his training. So we have to find time in 3 1/2 short months to cross all that stuff off the list. Plus the million other little things that we haven't even thought of yet.

Who knew just getting married at the courthouse would be so much trouble?! But it'll all be worth it. Just like planning the whole ceremony mostly without his imput.

Married to my best friend and partner in crime... I think I could live with that for the rest of my life... Yeah, definitely :)
