where every post is about Josh and how awesome he is and what he did and said and looked like and and and. But I just have to say these two things:
1. When I came home tonight there was a present on my pillow. Danielle was all excited and kept jumping at me to go open it. So I did. It was a big, fancy candle with three wicks that came in a flowered tin from Anthropologie. It came with a note saying thank you for not making this into a flowery, girly apartment and here are some flowers. Danielle and Alex also each got a candle tin too. There are also flowers on the dining room table. Ohmigodmyboyfriendrocks.
2. Josh went home today and told me he talked to his mother and she was very enthusiastic about me doing tutoring. She agreed with him that I can earn a lot more money, and pointed out that my school is in her neighborhood. Laurie is going to talk to some of the parents in her building and friends. I am excited at the thought of getting to quit the diner. Each shift gets worse than the last one.
Also, we keep saying we have to invite Laurie and Tom for dinner but not getting around to it. Josh invited his parents over for a specific date, so now that's one less thing I need to do. So relieved.
On a more embarrassing level (aren't you glad I share?) I got home and my sisters and Josh were watching tv and Josh asked me why I don't hang out with my friends. He meets up with his like every day and is always texting them. He said this right in front of my sisters. Right when I started to say I don't have time Danielle told him "Sam doesn't have any." Thanks.
I mean, not that it's not true because it kind of is but still. I am always working or with one of my sisters or something. Plus I could never have people over before. Josh was like "You know that's not healthy. You really need to have friends and like hang out with them on a regular basis. There are real health benefits to it. "
Thanks for the pep talk, doctor. Maybe if the tutoring thing takes off I will have more free time.

Oh yeah, he's amazing, and he's right. Everyone needs to have friends at some point of their lives. Good luck with the tutoring. Take care :)
I hope the tutoring thing goes really well for you, great that his mom will spread the word...I like Josh a lot for you.
Josh sounds wonderful and we don't mind hearing about him at all. He's such a catch! I'm just so happy you are happy. I really hope the tutoring gig works out for you. You deserve only the best Sam.
We like reading how happy Josh makes you. His appreciation is very sweet and extremely thoughtful.
You used to see your friends at school, and communication and getting together would follow naturally from there. It was easy, almost passive. Now without the continuity of school, to maintain friendships, you need to act more actively. This can make it seem like it takes up more time.
It's a big change to go from automatically seeing people with whom you are friendly during the course of your day and not really having to think about who your friends are to not seeing anyone without active effort and being prompted to come up with a list of your friends and having to think about who are people with whom you can and want to maintain independent friendships.
