A Very Brady Weekend
Brady put an offer on a house back in October, and he finally got the keys to his new house Friday night! I am beyond thrilled for him, he has been busting his butt to buy a place of his own and now his hard work is finally paying off.
Brady was planning on moving his stuff in all by himself, but instead I forced my family into servitude. He is no good to me with a broken back... So, Saturday afternoon he and my brother carried heavy things while my mom and I daintily carried boxes and ooh'ed and ah'ed over the house. By early evening the house was mostly unpacked and beginning to look pretty dang good. I seriously love this house. It has tons of upgrades and a sweet outdoor living space.
Sunday we shopped for house accessories, which is way more fun than moving. But also way more expensive, good thing he just got a raise and promotion. (Sorry, am I bragging? I'm bragging. I can't help it, I love it when good things happen for Brady :) ) I got to weigh in on most of the decor and layout of the rooms, which is nice because 1. He values my opinion, and 2. The plan is for me to move in when my lease is up. Or sooner if it strikes my fancy, and it definitely does. Just in the short weekend we spent together his place felt more like home than mine. I guess that saying is true.*
The pictures below are from the listing, he was lucky that the owners left the house move-in ready. I'll show you what it looks like once it's all put together with his (and probably my) furniture.
Congrats BAF!!
*Home is where the heart is. Puke, cute I know.

Super Extra Awesome Post
Ok, not really. Sorry to trick you.
You know you're a "glass half full" kind of person when you follow up a story about a cat being eaten by an alligator with "but it's not a sad story! Really! I mean, the alligator was probably pretty happy..."
I've had nothing to write about lately. I think I'm becoming a hermit. Really. All I feel like doing is going to work, going to the gym, eating, and hanging out with the boy.
I did drag myself out of the house Friday to celebrate a friend's birthday. It was Luau themed and I was pretty thrilled to show off my genuine Hawaiian tan. By the end of the night I had lost my whole costume though. I gave my coconut bra to a girl at the bar (then left), and I gave my skirt to some random guy on the street. Although, now that I think about it, I don't think that's what he meant when he said he wanted to "get in" my skirt.... Hmm...
Anyway, here's me prior to giving away my goods. And by goods I mean my costume. Pervs.

Party Time
My niece is three years old today!
I can't believe how fast time flies, but at the same time I can hardly remember life without her in it. I'm just in love with this girl, and our family events are way more entertaining then they used to be.

| Only a few hours old |

| Smile! |

| What the heck is wrong with you?! |

Hawaii/What I love about myself
I love to travel. If you can't tell :)
Hawaii was relaxing, lazy, and fun. Most days were spent lazing around on the beach with my gentleman caller, both of us just soaking up the vitamin D.
It was nice spending time with Brady's family, too. I got to know them on a more relaxed and intimate level, although I was never quite comfortable enough to poop when they were around... (TMI? Nah.)
We did get out and about a few times. Brady and I actually worked out (once), I went running (also once), we hiked up Diamond Head, and went swimming with sharks. That last activity was probably my favorite part. It was a bumpy and fun boat ride 3 miles out from shore, the sun was hot, the water was cool, and there were 8-9 foot sharks and a 6-7 foot barracuda up close and personal.
This actually reminded me of what I love most about myself, so I thought I'd incorporate my Day 2 of Truth:
(Gchat convo)
Me: I went swimming with sharks, that was pretty cool.
JulieCummings: Sharks?!
Don't most people swim with dolphins?
Me: Yeah, probably.
When faced with potentially dangerous/scary situations or the times when things get rough, I'm able to look it in the eye and shrug. I've been through worse, it could always be worse, and I won't let it get in the way of me. I also have such a naturally high level of excitement and optimism that there's very little room to be scared. Not about skydiving, not about moving thousands of miles from my friends and family, not about losing everything I had. Don't get me wrong, I get down and worried like other people do, but it doesn't last long. For the most part I throw myself wholeheartedly into life. And I love that about myself!
