I promise I'll get better!

Okay, so I know that my posts have been a little inconsistent, and I apologize and promise to start being a little more consistent.  Never thought moving would be so demanding, both physically AND emotionally!  Finally got furniture taken to the donation center, painters have come in and painted everything boring white.  I stopped by the condo the other night to empty the fridge/freezer and throw away some things and I will admit, seeing it in the midst of being painted was super hard...as soon as I got back into my car, I was in full blown crying mode.  Taylor and I had been fighting nonstop for a few days-I wasn't giving her enough attention and time (keep in mind, we are in completely different States right now and time zones), and I was VERY overwhelmed trying to get my condo emptied out.  It's amazing how much "little things" you can accumulate after living in a place for about 2.5 years.  Most of my things I had to look at and go "well, geez...do I throw you away or donate you...".  It finally got to the point where I was just throwing almost everything away.  My garage still has some things that still need to be donated-Jacks toys and kennel and dog beds, some more clothes and shoes and more odds and ends.  

I won't lie-it's been uber tough...on me, on Taylor and on US.  As much as I would love to be that couple that everyone looks at and goes "man, I wish we were like that", we aren't.  We're both stubborn, we're both selfish at times and needy.  There's a lot we don't agree on (politics being a HUGE one, as I am a Republican (I know, I'm one of the few lesbian republicans) and she is a Democrat), and there's many times we don't see eye to eye.  However, we always work it out in the end...it may take a few days, and some time without talking to each other and a possible explosion of words here and there, but, we always find that reason to make it back.  And I think a lot of couples are like that...we're far from that perfect couple that you love and hate at the same time, but you know what, I bet those perfect couples are actually boring...I mean, how do you NOT get into an argument?!  I just decided that Taylor and I are more passionate about things than the perfect couples are...I think we're the couple that will be arguing in the kitchen and then one of us (probably me) will throw a plate or cup down and smash it out of frustration and then we'll both look at each other and start laughing so hard that tears come out, and end up cuddled on the couch eating ice cream and watching Netflix...yea, that's more like us, we're that couple and darn proud of it :o)

Well, if you haven't noticed, I tend to go off on little tangents-it runs in my family, all Nichols' do this...tomorrow is my last day of work, and then Jack and I fly out to Louisiana on Wednesday, October 1st, and I promise to make my posts a little more frequent before we leave, and then once out there, they'll most likely be an everyday occurrence, so be prepared for more rants and tangents and stories that really have nothing to do with each other :o)
