How I can be in love with Joanna and our plans…

Yup, I said our plans, for I intend to date her, get engaged to her, live with her and within the next three years get married to her.

“Whoa, whoa, whoa, settle down there Sean…”

I can hear you say.

But you have to understand what has happened.

I’m not bringing up the details of the weekend but the following facts:

1. We are dating now.  She has her apartment and I have my house.  She will move in with Megan, her good friend, when she graduates in December.

2. Yes, she is helping me redecorate the house.  Yes, I have vetoed SEVERAL items that she would “like” to do to the house.  But I am not now, nor will I ever, let her do these changes.  I have decided with her assistance to:

  1. Get paint design, that isn’t all white.  I’m adding some color to the house.  I am allowing myself to have some color in my life. Not all black and white.
  2. Reorganize the kids room, so it’s actually a kids room, not a combination of storage closet and occasional kids room.  I am removing the God-Awful purple in there that I hated from day one and allowed MY kids to pick colors that they want in there.  I want a room that can be used by them and by guests. (Like my brother and sister in law when they come for the Nebraska game
  3. Elimination of the front “Cat Bushes”.  They are nothing but a nuisance and a pain in the ass to keep up.  I want the front of my house to look cleaner and crisper.
  4. Finishing of the bathroom, with new light fixtures.
  5. Cleaning of the garage as well as a massive garage sale on a day where I pile up the things to be sold and then I go somewhere while her and Kerri get whatever they can for them.
  6. Fix the fan in the bedroom. It’s been a year since it has broke. Might as well replace the damn thing.
  7. Fix the pickets in the fence.
  8. Have pride in what I have.  I know it isn’t much, but I need to do what’s the best for me.

3. She has incredible support and love for me.  She’s been in radio before.  Yes, she knows about my job, she understands traffic issues, and getting called in the middle of the night when the AV goes down.

And for the record, when I had to go to the office on Sunday to fix a problem, she went WITH ME, and thus we went and had FUN afterwards.

We listen to each other.  We may not agree with each other all the time, but we listen.

I feel like a better man when I am around her.

So, for the record…

She isn’t Angie.  She doesn’t compare to Angie. She will not hurt me like Angie.

Her name is Joanna.

Her parents used to live in the Midland/Odessa area. And they might come back up HERE to retire.

And I would rather have the moments I have with Joanna now, and never ever be with her again in any way, then to ever live a second without her.

Fortunately, I’m stuck with her. She’s in my head.

And I love her.
