I taught him how to do that with his eyes. I am quite proud of it.Sooooooo...
Josh makes fun of me for marking the months, but I'm gonna do it anyway. (Neener neeneeeeer.)
Today or yesterday or w... dangit! Why did we make our relationship exclusive on the 31st of a month? This complicates everything for me. Seriously. Could I have stopped being a snob just A DAY sooner? (By the way, that "a" is pronounced like the "a" in cat. It's for emPHAsis.) On months that just have 30 days, do I mark the month mark on the 30th or the 1st? What do you think? Hmmmm? (Why yes, my life is quite stressful with all the difficult things I must figure out.)
Anyway, as of today (or yesterday or something) Joshy and I have been dating 9 months. I realize that I am sort of a loser for writing a whole lame blog post about this, but come on, people. Nine months is the time it takes a woman to freaking grow a PERSON, so I think it's commemorable. (Finally! An actual word!) (P.S. Kudos to all of you lovely ladies who actually have grown people. Well done.)
Our relationship has been sprinkled with its fair share of CRAP with other people messing with it, so many outside issues causing problems, getting used to and learning each other's neuroses and more, but we are awesome and stuck it out anyway and have become better for it. Things are better now than ever, and I love that man.
He is good. He is funny. He is a stinker (just the right amount). He is smart. He is doting. He is nasty (and lets me be nasty, too!). He is sweet. He thinks I'm hot even though I've gained ten lovely pounds in the time we have been dating. (It will come off, dangit!) He encourages me to wear tiaras. He does the dishes. He drops everything to drive a 1600-mile round trip with me. He hoots and hollers while going down water slides. He stands in awkward positions with his butt sticking out while miniature golfing. He scrapes the snow off of my car on a winter morning even though it's gonna make him late for work. And he accepts her:
For your sake and mine, please do not click to enlarge this picture.(And now that I've said that, I'm sure at least 5 of you have now done that. Tsk. Tsk.)
I don't know what possessed me to commemorate this particular month, but I was feeling a little gushy. So if gush makes you ill or writing about 9 months of dating is annoying to you, my apologies. But you should just get over it. Or stop reading. Up to you. (My, my, am I getting a little sassy or what?)
P.S. What is up with me and the parentheses lately? I'm a little outta control.

I think it's cute. He sounds awesome. Which he better be because he's dating an awesome woman. I hope things continue to go well for you guys.
Actually, Josh was born that way, it took him about 18 years to get his eyes normal, after years of therapy and surgery. We thought we had finally broken him of it, and now look what you've done! i wash my hands of this issue...:) (Tyler)
HEATHER! That's so funny that you're SO in love with nine months. And here is why:
This miiiight be TMI, but oh well. After being married nine months, Gwenna was conceived and I KNEW it was the right timing because that was enough time for our baby of a marriage to be born, to blossom, if you will. So we were ready for the next step and then I found out I was pregnant with Gwenna. Nine months later, she was born. ... Now she's nine months...
Anyway, I LOVE nine months and nine month milestones. They're the best and I love that you love it. Congratulations, because nine months is a long time! ... Just make sure the engagement isn't that long. Ours was 6 and that was plenty long!
WHOOP WHOOP for LOVE!!! I don't mind gushing a bit.
Congrats on 9 months!
I LOVE the gushing. And I actually didn't click to enlarge the picture, because you said not to. It is, however, my new desktop. :) I'm glad your move went well...and I'm glad you guys are doing so well together--it's amazing that the hard stuff just makes you guys closer together, isn't it?
Good thing you didn't start dating on leap day or anything...then you really WOULD go crazy. I vote for celebrating on the 30th, rather than the first. I think it should be celebrated in the actual month of the would-be anniversary rather than the next month. But that's just my opinion. :)
P.S. Sorry this is a rambling entry. But I just wanted to talk to you, and I had a few thoughts that all wanted to come out at the same time, so they did...oh, well. That's life.
I can't think of what to say because the comment box is right over the last picture of you....i'm very distracted....really....what in the world!!!!!!!
sorry, I enlarged it. Really, after you said not to, I just had to...it's my nature.
love!
Gush away dearie! Gush away! Being in love requires a little gushing... you're wonderful!
Oh boy ...Brandon and I have been together for four months. I don't really count the months as much as I use to. In fact, I kinda freak out. I'm like - I've been dating you for HOW LONG?
haha I am not the commitment type. But CONGRATS to you! Nine months is a big deal, especially because nine is my favorite number.
I have been with Andy six months, I know exactly how you feel about that. I think in the end when and if we get married it'll be completely worth it!
I love the list of things you love that he's done. I just do. Recognizing those little things is what makes relationships hugely successful, I think.
One more link came off the paper chain today. I'm one more link closer to making that kind of list for myself. Just a little personal fyi. Yes, I know. This blog is not about me. But I can't write that on MY blog yet! :)
Just like I said before, I think he's great too, even though I still haven't met him. I'm glad things are great, and that you're not letting anyone get to you. It makes everything all the better when you can be 100% yourself with the person you're dating!!
I'm so happy for you! That eye thing is pretty amazing...that takes talent. Congrats on 9 months togetherness!
Any time that feels significant is significant. Congratulations on 9 months, I hope you have many more happy months to come.
Thank you for your comment on my blog, I just found it, and it's precisely what I needed right now. Please keep in touch!
