Why can't we see that when we bleed we bleed the same?

The past week has been rather productive. Our new apartment's air conditioning stopped working, and we had to stay with Steven's parents for a few nights to beat the sweltering 85 degree heat in our apartment.

I hate to be added to the cliche of girlfriend's that can't stand they're future-in-laws, but it seems as though I'm being hurled in that direction. Those of you who know me know that I'm not a big touchy feely person, I have my own personal views on life and I like things the way I like them. But Steven's mom seems to just send me over the edge. She gave me the marriage talk several times this week, and it always ends the same way: "I have no intention of being with anyone but Steven. But you should keep yourself occupied because you won't be getting any grandkids out of me for a looooong time." She doesn't like this. Why can't people just accept that we're happy, devoted to each other, and will probably elope in Vegas? I feel like people get married too young these days. I have a theory. If you're going to get married young, go through something really hard together before you do it. It'll help you figure out if you'll be able to handle things when they get hard.. because, let's face it, life sucks sometimes. Steven and I have been through so much in the past 3 and a half years that made us grow up so fast. But we're better people for it, and the maturity we gained has molded our relationship into something I don't think very many people get in their lives. Which is too bad, because its the greatest thing in the world.

I also shot a few concert scenes for the movie "Janie Jones" starring Abigail Breslin, Joel Moore, and Britney Snow (as well as a few other big names.) The opportunities for film in Des Moines right now are amazing, and I'm so blessed to be able to be a part of it. I feel like things in my life are really great right now, and being able to actually make money while hanging out with the coolest people in the world and doing what I love more then anything proves that. I'm meeting a lot of great people and making connections that will hopefully aid my success and maybe get me some more experience. Hopefully they see the potential that I'm really starting to see in myself.

I started my new job at the Mercy West Lakes hospital, and as boring as it is right now I think its going to be good for me. Other then the hours. I think my body is physically rejecting working night shifts. I hear that goes away eventually, but if it doesn't we may have a problem...

Anyways, I need to go to bed now because its 2 in the morning and Steven fell asleep on the couch. So it'll take me another hour to get him from the couch to the bed... and I need to give myself a head start .
