It's a good thing he buys me shoes.

Skirt: Anthro; Cardigan & shoes: Nords

those are the shoes!
You can copy me here.

Story #1: 
I have a nightly ritual before I go to bed. It's normal. I just go downstairs and I check all the locks. Sometimes I open the garage door to make sure the actual garage door is closed. When I check our sliding door that goes to out backyard, I always turn on the porch light really quick. I hope that if there is a robber or a rapist out there, I will catch him mid-breaking-in-plans, and he will run away scared. Last night though, when I turned on the light, the screen door was completely OFF and stuck to the side. Obviously we haven't gone in the backyard since like....September?? So I woke McKay up to ask him about it. This is what happened-

Me: McKay
Me: McKay
Me: Mckaaaaaayyyyy
Me: MCKAY.
McKay: Whaaaaaatttt?!!
Me: Did you move the screen door?
McKay: Whatttt?
Me: The sliding screen door in the kitchen...did you move it?
McKay: Whatttt?
Me: I was making sure everything was locked and the screen door was off. 
McKay: (sitting up now) Whatttt?
Me: OMGSHHH. MCKAY. DID YOU MOVE THE SCREEN DOOR?
McKay: No.
Me: Okay, well I am scared then because someone took it off!
McKay: Whatttt?
'           '
'           '
'           '
(he really did say what like 25 times.) 

Me: Can you just go check it please?
McKay: Ali, I took it off. I took it off because it kept coming off...you know... (he means the track)


Story #2: Which is happening as I type this.

Tonight is McKay's monthly campout with the scouts. You know, the night that I check the locks like a jillion times and eat a whole pan of brownies by myself. Anyways- I usually don't say that McKay's leaving the day he's leaving because I am scared of internet weirdos coming here and stealing me and Jax...but for the sake of the story...
Okay, this is not a lie. I seriously had a daydream today that McKay surprised me and said he was not going camping, but that he was instead going to take me on a date. And then we started texting:

McKay: How bout I don't go camping tonight?
(44 minutes pass)
McKay: Or I will...
Me: Sorry babe! I went to the post office and had to charge my phone because it died! I wish you didn't have to go
McKay: What r u doing tonight?
Me: I don't know
McKay: How about go to a restaurant?
*hinting...right?*
Me: Wait am i dreaming
McKay: Probably
Me: Ugh dangit
McKay: R u chillin with ur fam tonight?

???

then I didn't respond. 

I mean...seriously??!


*******Recent- almost-immidiately-after update: Bittersweet.

Sweet: He came home from work and the camping trip got cancelledddddd! Yay! 

Bitter: We are poor so we can't go to a restaurant. Probably because of the shoes.

  6. We have an alarm and I double check all the doors and the alarm at least twice before bed! I would have totally freaked about the screen too! Super cute shoes with a super cute skirt! So sweet that he asked the sales woman for your size...he knows your shoe size, that's huge in itself!

  16. the bitter sweet.....oh my gosh that shouldn't have made me laugh but for some reason it did.
    Also i love your dream with texting involved and everything.
    I had the dream the other night that i went to prom (yup at my current age) with ZACK HANSON...basically i woke up fan-girling before realizing it was all fake...womp womp...
    I check my locks nightly, sometimes multiple times a night...i'll even wake up in the middle of the night sometimes and check them! Yay for being neurotic!
