Well Its official I've joined the real world

So. . .Yesterday I finally did it. I bought a house with my fiance. Well, to be more specific I bought a condo with my fiance. I'm really excited about it. Its an awesome place and Christina and I are going to really have a wonderful time there. Starting off our new life as man and wife together. However, I think I've in a way opened a bit of a pandoras box. I want to do all these things to it now that its mine and I CAN do all these things to it. We haven't even moved in yet but I went to home depot yesterday and bought paint to repaint the entire place! I know this sounds like a bit of a big project. But I used to be a professional painter and am quite good at it. I'd go as far as to say I am better then most when it comes to painting. I do better work then most. My difference is I am meticulous. I don't go for necessary speed. I go for quality. Granted I can paint pretty darn quick. but. . . I don't sacrifice quality for it. But back to the point at hand. I want to do like a million things. I want to put in granite counter tops. I want to put tile in the kitchen and bathrooms, I want to replace the flourescent lighting in my kitchen with track lighting of some sort. I have a lot of things I want to do. I'm not much for waiting either. I just want to get it done and now. So I'm going to have to reign myself in a bit and realize that I don't have to do it all right now. I can do things over the course of the next 5 years or so. Its just like the furniture too. I want to put in all new furniture for everything right now. I want it to be a total home right away! I can't do this because I need to be smart with my money etc. But boy would it sure be nice! don't you think! anyways. I'm a home owner now!!! I also have to continued to stay focused on the REAL important thing here. My Wedding!!! its on August 12th so its only a little more then 2 mos. away! How rad is that! I think its awesome. Great times for me Great times for me! My parents want me to go over there and "talk" to me about a couple things. But you know what! It will probably be some lecture on something. I'm too jazzed to worry about it. so I'll let them blah blah blah about whatever they want. then tell them we're not doing these anymore. I'm an adult now I don't need to come over for lectures. thats done. Then go home and help christina pack her place up. I rule !!! really I used to take these "lectures" way more seriously and they actually used to make me anxious. Now. . . I just go let them talk and pretty much thank them for the advice and leave. Its their perogative to talk to me about whatever they want. However, it is also my perogative to still do whatever I want even if its contrary to what they think I should be doing. Granted I've always felt this way. I think its always been something that has if not made my parents sad. Its frustrated them. They always tell me the right way to do things then I just go and do them however I feel like doing them. I'll be honest with you I have been bitten in the ass many times for not doing it the way they advise. Because it has turned out just the way they explained it would if I did it that way. But you know what at the end of the day. I learned why it was the "wrong" way and I experienced the life experience of getting bitten in the ass. They explain that life would be so much easier if I just did things the way the advised. I finally told them in a conversation not too long ago. That easy sucks. easy is boring. Easy gives you nothing at the end of the day. People who lived "easy" lives Lived No life. Its the hardships and Challenges that define people. Make them remember their life. I firmly believe in the phrase Nothing good comes easy. There are a whole plethora of life experiences out there for us to experience. Good and Bad. I have to live mine. I'm not sure if my dad understood where I was coming from. However, I'm positive my mom didn't. They can't understand the whole concept of living life to the fullest. I don't feel sad for them or pity them in any way though. Its not my place to. They have lived their lives how they have wanted to. So that makes them happy. Thats not the kind of life that makes me happy. So I can't put my definition of life on them as they can't put theirs on me. Its apples and oranges. Anyway...

I've blabbered on enough today I think its time for me to get done with this entry. Time to do some real work..
