Well

I guess every blog will just be about Brandon. Oh well, it happens.

Anyway, things have gotten better since I last updated. He seems to have returned to his same, silly old self...which I'm glad about. At my birthday party on Saturday he gave me a ring that had the date we first met inscribed on the inside, which is quite possibly the cutest gift I have ever recieved in my entire life. I definitely realize that a lot of my frustrations are self-inflicted and I have to stop myself from freaking out. I think a huge part of it is I'm a creature of habit. When certain things have happened to me before, I look for patterns to repeat themselves. So that's how I've been approaching a lot of things in my relationship with Brandon, when I have to realize he is a different person and what we have is unlike anything I've experienced before. He's not like the guys from my past, and that's something I have to be happy about.

We've been together for just over five months now and we're at the point where it's not completely lovey-dovey, that we have to work at it and have to truly figure each other out. I think we're doing an okay job, but it's just strange for me because I've never been in a relationship long enough for it to get to this point. But he's been patient with me and I appreciate that so much.

Anyway, Brittany and I were talking last week about having a beach trip, so that's something I would love to put together before summer is over. Maybe even BEACH CAMPING!!! Because I haven't been on any sort of trip this summer, other than Disneyland back in June. Hmmm, I shall attempt to set this up. Even if it ends up being just a day trip, it'd still be most fun.
