Yesterday was our six year anniversary of being together. Time flies! It was supposed to be a good day but I was grouchy and super emotional. Every time I thought about being together for so long and that we are not married I started to cry. Of course, Alden seemed completely oblivious to the whole situation. We went out to dinner to Applebees which we had to drive about 30 minutes to get to (the closest one to our place) and about five minutes before our dinner was supposed to come out, the power went out to the whole city. We sat there for about twenty minutes sipping our drinks and then the waitress came by to tell us that they were closing all of the tickets. Luckily we had just enough cash to pay for our drinks and appetizer. So as we are leaving the parking lot the power comes back on. The power was out for close to an hour before it came back on. We had to go to Wal-Mart anyway so we went there and then called the restraunt to see if they were opening back up. We ended up having a good meal, it just took longer than we planned.

We have been getting ready for Alden's brother Jack to come and visit and take things home with him. So in the process of finding all of the bedding for the full size bed, we made a huge mess and then had to put it all away again. I will be so glad when Jack comes and we can load everything in the back of his truck and have some more space in our apartment. We will be getting rid of a bed, bedding, 27" tv, a small refrigerator and the bullet bike (motorcycle) and all of it's gear. Then maybe I will be able to get the apartment back to normal and not so cluttered.

Alden's blazer has to go back in to be fixed again today. For some reason it is dying at random times when he comes to a stop and then it takes a few minutes for it to want to start up again. What a pain! Hopefully it will be fixed in a couple of days. So a bit of good news for Alden. He is officially a SAG union member and we hope he will get lots of work. He is now eligible to go to auditions for speaking parts and more upgrades on set as an extra. Not to mention the increase in pay.

Until next time...
