(I might not update this very frequently anymore. From here on out itll probably be a once in a while memorable event blog. Again i apologize for taking so long. Been extremely busy over the past few weeks. Either way, enjoy. )
So tuesday had rolled around. I checked the date and it blew my mind. Tuesday the 15th. one whole month. Holy shit.
Of course we exchanged morning greetings.
From Ashley xxx-xxx-xxxx
Happy 1 month baby! Heres for many more to come!
So a couple of dates turned into a few nights together which turned into weeks and turned into a month.
One month. One whirlwind romance.
Tuesday March 15 - Happy 1 month. Heres to many more to come!
However we didnt get to celebrate it like we wanted. School and work had gotten in the way. As per fucking usual, of course. But we had agreed on spending at least a little time together during the weekend.
The weekends used to be a thing of boredom. Get out early from work, Go home, Play Starcraft. 3 AM go to bed. Things had changed though very quickly. We were usually out to dinner or playing with Logan. So on and so forth. The limited time we did see each other during the week was extremely short at best. She would stop up at work to see me or i would stop at her house on break to see her, for 10 minutes at best, Then back to the grind. It helped get through the unbearably slow days, but still just wasnt quite enough time.
So that weekend we had decided to invite her and Logan over for some pizza and to hang out at our place for a couple hours. How bad could it be right?
...right?
I had gotten home that day around 3 and started cleaning rapidly. Doing laundry. and trying to leave the best impression i could. The time flew by till the agreed "usual time" of 7:30 and her car had pulled in.
Now of course since i had been planning this most of the week. Go figure the plans i had laid out for the parents (Pizza, pop, etc) had been completely blown off and dad had decided he wanted to do his own thing. We had finally gotten things squared away after i explained to him that a 3 year old doesnt eat BBQ ribs and cheese potatoes. At least i know i didnt.
Hes had 3 kids, i assumed he would know. (lol)
So when we finally agreed on getting pizza it was when they had shown up and of course like any good last minute plans the pizzas wouldnt be ready for 45 minutes. Typical right?
Ashley had unloaded Logan and they came up the driveway. Logan ran far ahead of her
"Come on mommy! its an adventure!" I smiled at his optimism. Over the past 4 weeks we had spent almost every weekend together at her house and played with Logan until he had finally passed out. At first in the relationship i was i bit worried about how things would play out. But as i slowly got the hang of it, things started getting easier, and to be completely honest, the thought of having a child running around was growing on me. I mean hell, I completely skipped the changing diapers and teething phase. Im pretty much home free right?
Logan had run through the front door, carrying a small backpack of his toys. He quickly set it down next to the couch and ran over to our dogs and began petting them. Ashley had joined me in the entryway to the house and gave me a quick kiss as she slipped off her shoes.
"He said were on an adventure" she giggled and took her jacket off. I set it on the edge of one of the couch. and Re-introduced her to the parents. I had brought her home to meet mom once before, but the visit was short, we had other plans that night.
"So guys, once again heres Ashley-" And was abruptly cut off by Mom.
"And this must be Logan!" Her face had lit up. Even though Mom had sworn up and down having kids sucks. I knew deep down that was her greatest joy in the world. Something small she could nurture. Its a mom thing i guess.
They introduced back and forth and did a little idle chitchat. Logan had begun playing with our dogs. And the parents decided it was close enough to go get pizza. They left for the pizza place and left my sister home.
The second they were gone Logan had begun running around the house exploring. He ran over to the rabbit cage, down the hall, everywhere. He opened and walked through every room including my parents. We laughed and chased him around the house until everyone was back. Pizza was served and everyone was having fun. Logan had sat down and was watching tv (The Smurfs, yes this kid is that fucking baller) and munching on pizza. Ashley and I had sat down at the table and were talking to Mom and Dad, making jokes back and forth.
"So Josh told us youre working 2 jobs, and going to school for pharmacy tech?" Mom had popped questions all night.
"Yep. Semesters ending. Passed with a 4.0 this semester" She smiled. My past few girlfriends had never been THIS good.
"Well i hear pharmacy tech is pretty damn hard." Dad had chimed in. It was true, a couple times i had come over she was doing homework and just from skimming the workbook there was alot more to dosing out prescriptions than i had originally thought. It wasnt just the type of "local pharmacy" tech, It went all the way to the beginning of being an anesthesist.
"Yeah i looked over her workbook a couple times and it was a pain in the ass" She giggled at me remembering a time where we both wracked our brains to figure out a problem that was worded incorrectly.
"Yeah well thats because we dropped you on your head when you were a kid" Dad laughed at me. I gave him the death stare. I dont think it left too much damage, You might be a little bit dented though"
Ashley gasped, i expected her to stand up for me. Then i remembered who i was dating.
"Whaaaaaat? youre dented? I dunno i might have to return you..." She giggled and nudged my shoulder. The entire family had turned to making fun of me for the next 45 minutes and i played along with it. It was almost 9 pm so i figured they would leave soon and all would be well without too much embarrasment.
Once again. i was wrong
"Hey you know what would be hillarious? If we broke out the baby pictures" Dad grinned ear to ear. I contemplated murder/suicide and him and mom ran to grab the 50+ photo albums they had accumulated over the years. We had all ended up on the couch, flipping through the albums of my younger years. Everyone laughing at me. God the embarrassment. So very much of it.
Luckily there was only a couple of ones that really made me cringe. Other than that it was a pleasant albeit embarrassing trip down memory lane. Ashley sighed and awwwwwwed, Dads smirk never left his face, and Mom looked like she was about to cry.
Logan was about to pass out and Ashley had to be up at 5 the next morning. She had decided it was time to go shortly after 9:30. Not like there was much more my parents could do to embarrass me more tonight so i helped get Logans toys together and hugged them both at the door. Everyone said their goodbyes and they began walking out. Mom had come up and smacked me in the back of the head
"What the hell do you think youre doing? Be a gentleman and walk her out to her car, dumbass" Honestly i never heard that come from her, but she was right. I looked down at the snowy ground and my bare feet. Clenched my teeth and burst from the door, dashing across the yard. I met her at the car as she closed Logans door and wrapped my arms around her.
"Sorry that was so embarassing, You had fun though right?" I said, catching her from behind with my hug. She giggled and gave me a smile.
"Of course, its not that bad. One of my exes parents flipped through 300 pictures of his previous girlfriends first time i came around." We both laughed
This story needs more conflict. It's too 'nice'. I don't consider a relationship real until after the first fight, did you have one yet? I hope so because that milestone is very important. Wow, just thinking about all my first fights is making the scar on my leg ache.

Did you win? Do you prefer to grapple with the girl or just go right for hard strikes asap
Don't take that too seriously, haha. Though leaving us with this as the last update has left us all with an insatiable hunger for more. Prepare for your return, as it will likely involve rabid, foaming at the mouth, girlblog fanboys that are even scarier than Bisu fanboys.

Oh I win... eventually. I'm a stamina fighter, I will go the distance. I've been in a first fight with this one girl for 13 years now and I'll be damned if I ever give in (Tommy was the best Power Ranger).
To be honest things have been extremely busy, he past few weeks ive been helping them move into a new house. We really havent done anything THAT memorable that id feel the need to write about it.
I mean ill definitely update it every once in a while with little funny or interesting tidbits weve had. But other than that weve pretty much gone past the "going out" and infatuation phase. Were pretty much a nice little family now

No we actually havent. Weve both had terrible (slightly abusive?) relationships in the past and fighting is the last thing we want. Its weird because ive never really had someone where when we disagree on something we both laugh it off. Im sure well have something down the road but i dont think itll be too bad
^ Whoa now buddy, might want to clarify and elaborate if you're gonna state something like that.
Glad everything's going well. How long has it been since you guys first started going out?
For everyone expecting a crazy ending, the relationship is just getting started (in the story that is)! Though I must admit it was a bit of a tease, lol.

Like someone else had mentioned before, fights and disagreeing are a part of relationships. You guys are both just trying to pretend everything is perfect when it's not. And because of that you've rushed wayyy too fast into things (ie i love you etc.)

Hm, you bring up valid points, but as far as not arguing/disagreeing... it's only been one and a half months. I think there's plenty of time for arguing and such later. I've said this before in one of his other blogs, but relationships often start off quite well in my experience. There's always that "honeymoon phase" before things take a turn. Of course, the fights will inevitably come, but OP has shown that he understands that and is prepared!

I agree that disagreements are part of healthy relationships, We have them occasionally but we always end up laughing them off. Its not about pretending, its the fact that neither of us wants to start a fight because we dont have reason to. Were two genuinely happy people who enjoy being together. Read it how you will and think what you want about it. I cant deny you your opinion. But please dont come in and assume things.
I know youre probably the 4500+ master terran of relationships and thanks for your concern, but this is the path i chose. Ill walk it and learn myself.

And honestly pylonz, you shouldn't write these blogs if your just going to get mad at everyone who mentions that they don't think your relationship is as perfect as you think it is.

Im not mad at all.
I do find it annoying however that people outside of the relationship seem to know more than i do about my own relationship, Thats all. I stated youre free to think what you want and have your own opinion. From my perspective its great. And thats all that matters

This has been a truly heartwarming read, thank you!
I love it when reading something makes you really feel for the person, and that's exactly what this blog's done for me. This coming from a person with no relationship advice whatsoever, and I feel as if reading this rejuvenated my hope in my own love life (to come, I suppose).
Will definitely be lurking about for future updates, but until then, best of luck man!
