Things in Kansas are much the same. Well except for the 6 foot man that has taken residence in my apartment. This blog is going to be a little different because it is going to be about life with Zacky. Since he has moved in things have been very different on the home front. I now have someone else to pick up after. Needless to say Zack is messy. Not too messy though. I think I got lucky there. Or my anal retentive organization and cleanliness has him frightened. I like to think it is the former.
Now that I have a man around it isn't all mess and no gain. He is great for a good many things.
1. He puts together furniture - Upon arrival to Kansas we had to assemble some of his furniture and purchase new things and he did all of that. Awesome! I like to think he enjoys exerting his masculinity even though he outwardly wishes I would help him.
2. He lifts stuff - Again, moving is a story in lifting and he did lots of this. He lifted all of what we brought with us to Kansas and then some. Now I have someone to take all the groceries up a flight of stairs and into the house. Epic win!
3. He is my own personal heater - Many of you do not realize how insanely cold (or HOT) Kansas can get. If the wind blows from the south we fry and if it comes from the north we freeze. These two things can change daily. For example two weeks ago it was 108 and the next day it was 78. With the cold weather approaching Zack will be a nice heater. My favorite thing to do is stick my freezing cold hands on his neck or my freezing cold feet under his behind. He does not like this at all. Then I remind him I am touching him. ;)
4. He makes the homesickness bearable - Those of you close to me know that last year I experienced some extreme homesickness. So bad I almost dropped out of school. Now that Zack is here I am far less lonely and less homesick. He has added a nice sugar coating to a bland cookie - grad school in Kansas. Needless to say I am happy to have someone to come home to. And the hugs are an added bonus!
We haven't experienced much of the town. One because there isn't much of one. Two because our schedules are completely opposite. He works nights while I sleep. I work and go to class in the day while he sleeps. I study. He games. I read. He preps for the GRE. You get the idea.
I will leave it at that for now. Chao!
