blah blah blah

I usually get really annoyed when people don't blog and keep me updated on their lives and then I look at mine and I'm pretty much WAY more of a slacker than most.

We have been crazy busy and since school started I've had a test every week and Jason has been working like crazy. When we get home we focus on school work, dinner, and spending time with huxley since he is caged all day. However, this weekend I have other plans. I'm hoping to take huxley to the dog park to let him swim in the pond on saturday and then just leave sunday up in the air so that we don't feel tied down with plans. I know sounds pretty boring but when life is going going going full speed it's nice to take a breather every now and then.

Updates

-jason got a new car. it needs a little smell good on the inside but it has AC and gets good mileage so that's all that matters.. it is a 2003 White BMW Passat. VERY GIRLY but we're lucky he got a car so it's all good.

-I registered for graduation so in 6 months I will have a bachelor's degree and will be able to take my NCLEX and I WILL PASS :) soo excited to see the light at the end of the tunnel.

-Jason is looking for a youth minister position so he can step in as full time youth minister. which is so scary for him but I am more than excited because I know he will be great at being a youth minister.

-we are looking for a new church aka the one jas get's a job offer at!

- suddenly our 9 month old pup is not a pup anymore. he is more like a toddler. He squeaks his toys 24/7, eat pillows, doesn't listen,m and very much bully's jason all in a day's work.

-we are hoping to get away to the islands with my family this summer but it's all on stand still since i have no idea when my boards will be :(

-we are doing a little decorating of the house. we got a new couch that huxley seems to think is his. painted some touch ups, added some picture frames, and it's season's time so i can put up decorations.

i'm beginning to feel like this is all hodge podge so for now i will go study and maybe post some pictures later.

things i've been wanting

So lately I've been really just wanting to go out and spend lots of money on things I want.. however, the reality that school has begun and working 24 hours a week isn't gonna get me all of these things kinda sucks. So until May 2011 when I'll graduate and have enough money to get more things that I want then I'll just have a wanted list!

1New boots!

2. A new WINTER coach bag

3. A couples massage

4. Wreath for our front door.. which I want to make but don't really have the time or crafty ideas.

5. House decor

6. Someone to print off the pictures from our wedding so that I could frame them.. frankly, I'm just too lazy to sit in line at cosco for another 2 hours just to get them to load to the computer then have to sort through 800 plus pictures...so can't someone else do it for me?

7. Vacation to the Islands!! I would so post a picture but I really don't want to see those pretty blue waters and tempt myself when I have no time to be going there. So for now I'll just envision myself under my cabana on the white sand beaches looking out at the blue waters.. ahhhh!

8. I also want to purchase like 500 songs to go on my ipod so I feel motivated when I'm running.. but seeing as each song is like $1.39 this totally isn't happening.

9 And while I'm on a roll I'd really love for someone to finish nursing school for me so that I can just enjoy life :)

Any takers?? Yea, didn't think so!

Anyways, there are plenty more wants but I don't have time to jot them down.. hopefully my lovely hubby will read this post and remember that our 5 yr anniversary is in October and my bday is in November and Christmas is in Dec and then in May our 1 yr anniversary!!! Love you hunny :)

still here

I seem to have neglected to blog as i'm so caught up in all of the other blogs I read.

So... I wish I had some crazy awesome news to share but we're just living life. Married life is great and we're enjoying our final week of summer before school starts back in full swing!!

I'm sad to say that I haven't been to the beach all summer.. sad! I'm also really into shopping lately. I don't know if it's that we wanted to get a new couch and that just got me in the mood to shop but I've been "browsing" A LOT! So far I've bought two super cute dressed for me and two cute shirts for jas online at Forever21 (I'M SO EXCITED CHARLESTON IS GETTING ON NEXT YEAR).. my mom bought me a super hot pair of hot pink heels!! my first pair of heels EVER! with a size 5 foot it's a little hard to find a nice pair of fitting heels so when we saw these i had to have them.. thankfully my mom picked up the tab because they were CRAZY expensive.. however, in my defense we never put a price tag on shoes because my foot NEVER grows so i have TONS of shoes in my closet that have and will continue to fit for years!! i also have my eye on a few black dresses to wear to a wedding we're invited to in december which i'm really excited about! one.because i get a new dress and two. because we're sooo excited to have a "new" couple in our group of newly married friends.

i've been really really trying to get in shape because i definitely feel the 'wedding' poundage adding on. so i just got back from a run which was very refreshing and i just recently discovered a soup that is absolutely delicious for only 80 calories (FOR A WHOLE CAN!!) it's progresso LIGHT sante fe style chicken.. of course i pick out the chicken because i just can't do chicken in a can but the soup is great with a dash or five of hot sauce and they have TONS of other yummy types that i haven't tried yet! despite my efforts of trying to diet i have been cooking ALOT lately and i'm proud to say everything has been really good!! thanks to pioneer woman i can actually cook!! We've had chicken enchiladas (DOUBLE YUM with lots of calories..totally worth it) apple puff pastry (Super easy and delish) yummy salad with balsamic honey lemon dressing, ranch chicken kabobs (from kellys korner grilling blog post..these are so so delightfully yum!!) and fajita's that were to die for, spaghetti, and so much more... to say i'm starved would just not be right!

hmm.. so since i'm on a totally random blog kick i'll just continue on... we're planning a camping trip to table rock, nc in october and i'm totally excited about it! we've invited friends and we have tons of fun things planned so i'm really looking forward to it.

enjoy- i'll blog more about what we're up to and possibly try and post some of our wedding pictures soon..

Hubby's home and ya know what that means... SO IS DINNER!!

honeymoon pictures

Finally I find some time to post the pictures from our honeymoon at the sun palace resort in cancun! This is only half so enjoy and i'll post more later..

JUST NOTICED THEY UPLOADED BACKWARDS SO OUR FLIGHT TO CANCUN IS AT THE BOTTOM AND THEN US ENJOYING CANCUN IS TOWARDS THE TOP! adios!

In a Rut

There are days that I just needed to blog because it makes me feel better... and today is one of those days.

I/We are in a rut as the real world has taken over and we have no time together. We spend 4 hours together one mondays, mostly all day saturday if neither of us have plans and then half of the day on sunday together. The weekdays in between we only see each other at like 1230 at night when I'm crawling into bed after getting off of work.

Many probably want to know why I work so late and why I can't just change my schedule but i don't want to. It works best for me and I can function better on an 11 to 11 work shift. I'm better at what I do and it's physically better on me.. but is it worth it at the cost of my marriage? Well no but it's better than working night shifts when I don't get to see my husband at night, so we just have to make it work.

These last 2 weeks have left me feeling very down and drained mentally, physically, and emotionally. Mentally I wish I would have enjoyed my honeymoon A LOT more since that has been the only time we've had together, physically I wish that I had more time to even do things for myself ( I work, go to school, clean the house, and sleep). Emotionally I wish I didn't feel so alone. I have more time in my day with my dog than I do my husband and it just isn't fair. Jason's busy with stuff to go out of town next week and I'm busy working and going to school so there just is no emotional rest or time to spend to mend all of these things.

You know.. When there is little time to even communicate it seems like the only other thing I'm doing it complaining.

I think i'll be excited for next week even though Jason will be out of town because I'll get some sleep (Jason takes up the ENTIRE bed so I get very little sleep), there will be a lot less laundry to do, I won't feel awful for working and going to school because he won't be home anyways, and maybe some time alone will help heal the rut.

I could seriously use some time with friends and family to take my mind off of this.. well really just some time with the husband would do.

That's all for now. I have a test in 3 hours and I must go study!

Adios.

Mumble Jumble

So today these things are on my mind

ONE- i love my new hair-do. stella nova you rock my world!

TWO- i love chick-fil-a sauce...did you ever know they had chick-fil-a sauce?? it's kinda like a gold bar-b-que sauce but it's delightful!

three- i miss my husband who has been working like crazy to support our family!

4- i have abandoned my dog who deserves lots of attention

five- my hubby's bday is coming up and i haven't made him a cake nor will i have time.

SIX- why wasn't i born rich?? i have so many things that i want to buy but we have to be 'frugal' now... bummer!

My Husband!

Dear Husband

I love you for everything you are. You are sweet, handsome, funny, and charming. You have so much to give and you offer that to many! You always try to make people smile and you often times succeed. You are my best friend and NOW my husband and I couldn't be more happy! You love me on my good days and even on my bad days. You handle me with patience and you rarely get mad or upset with me for nothing. You never take out your sleepiness or bad days on me (I should totally take a lesson from you!) You always ALWAYS try and please me before ever thinking about yourself. I think you rock and I'm pretty happy that you are mine...I hope when you read this you know how much I love you

and how thankful I am for you and all that you do for our 'little' family!

This is my husband Jason and he seriously makes me happy! (I love this picture because we look so young! I know in 10 years we will look back and laugh!)
