Christmas plans
I've been rather distant lately, for sure, especially in my LJ entries. I don't know--life here is hectic, so I use that as an excuse! But really, I spend most all of my time at work or on the couch, which is fine.
Ethan and I are working together on some things. He's pretty much decided on the air force, which makes me happy because he should not only get more technical training, but he has a much smaller chance of being sent to war. He wants to do something medical, I think, like MRI technician-y things, which also pleases me because he'll have a job when he gets out, if he decides not to make a career of it.
There's, predictably, talk of me coming along with him in the Air Force. I want to come along, of course, and he wants me to come along as well, but only yesterday did the m-word come out of his mouth. It's come out of mine before, sure--it's a fact, you have to be muh-muh...well, that before you can come along on deployments and live on or off base--but he never really brought it up on his own and it hit me then, what exactly that would mean. Not only would I be the first of you monkeys to get married, but...I'd be married. Terrifying. Don't expect Ethan and I, if we do get married, to have a big wedding, though. There won't be any dresses or tuxes or churches--it'll be a simple courthouse wedding with just us, and maybe soe sort of reception after, but I doubt it. Likely, we'll just have dinner on our own and celebrate by ourselves. I don't want a big wedding and neither does he, and I've only got a couple of friends here that might come and you Tennessee monkeys wouldn't be able to come because you're all over the country and also, plane tickets/car drives this far are expensive. I just expect a gift of at least $150. <.< >.> AHAHA Did you see what I did there? No, I don't want anything and I don't want you guys to get all mushy on me (or mad) because I sense it and I haven't even posted this yet! Besides, we're not even engaged, so calm yourselves down. ;3
Christmas snuck up on me, damn it. Is it already nearly December? Where did the year go? A year ago, I was getting ready for Finals and mad because I was forbidden from spending Christmas here. Joke's on them, I guess.
I'll be in TN from Dec. 17-21. Who'll be there besides Shannypoo? We're bringing our mutt.
