We're most likely going to have to borrow money from either his parents or grandparents and both of us are freaking out about it. I'm currently in Ohio but am scheduled to drive to Michigan on Wednesday to pack my room up and then leave Thursday morning to bring down a load. Brian's dad offered to let us use his pick-up truck, but on one condition: he comes with us and drives. Here's a list of why I don't like this idea:
- Brian's family is from rural Ohio and this trip will require driving through Detroit at rush hour. Brian's dad doesn't handle grocery store crowds well.
- I haven't seen my family in a month and don't know when I'll see them after The Big Move. I want time to hang out with them and make sure my puppy knows I love him.
- If his dad drives us, we'll have to leave Wednesday afternoon, only giving me a few hours to pack. I *ahem* have a lot of stuff. And I don't really want him to watch me pack my room.
- My mama planned to make me and Brian a nice corned beef dinner, since I wasn't home on St. Paddy's Day. I WANT THAT CORNED BEEF, DAMMIT. Nothing will stop me.
- I just feel awkward around his dad.
I guess this is a good learning experience for us both. We have slightly different ways of communicating and so it can be frustrating at times to strike a balance. It hasn't been an issue so much in the past, since most of our relationship was over the phone. It's easy to walk away and come back later when you're not looking right at the person. Our argument ended up being quite healthy; we were both able to get a lot off our chests. Hopefully we'll wake up in the morning feeling refreshed and ready for the next battle.
Until then, I'm saying goodnight. I really need some sleep.
