Trying to feel new

One thing I always try to keep in mind while being a relationship is keeping that "New" feeling. If we all look back the beginning of the relationship is usually the most beautiful. The courtship is so inspiring and makes you feel so secure with yourself. So every one in awhile I try to take myself back to the day when Jared and I first met. It is actually a pretty cute story:

I was living in Oregon with a roomate at a time and I had met a really good friend named Dawn at my work. I worked at a nursing home caring for the elderly (which I still do). I was looking for love in all the wrong places and starting to feel totally over it. One night I had all my girl friends over to my apartment (including Dawn) and we got a little drunk. We started being really stupid and talking about how much we hate men. My friend Dawn went to the bathroom and I grabbed her phone (keep in mind I was drunk). The girls dared me to dial a random guys number and prank call him. I found Jared's number in her phone (did not know him) and prank called him. Needless, to say he was not to happy about it because the next day I got a text from him saying that he didnt appreciate people prank calling him at 2 in the morning. lol. I apologized and we started texting each other all day. We asked each other about our likes and dislikes. My friend Dawn came over that day and called him to come hang out at our apartment so that we could meet. He came over at 10 pm and we went to the park. He pushed me on the swings and we started the flirting. WE went back home and talked till 4 am. He went to work at the pool at 5 am and immediately came back over after work. (no sleep). He took me to the fair and the rest was history.....

I am just so glad I picked his name from her contact list.... :)

Dumb Movies

I am currently with my family pretending I am enjoying a movie they are watching. TRuth be told.. it is dumb. Besides that:

I am in complete love right now. My life is picking up and I am feeling less unhappy and more "Happy". I am planning my wedding (no longer feeling cursed), and enjoying school as well. It makes me happy to know I only have 6 more months of school and then only 6 months of an internship. It has been quite stressful to find an internship though..hope i find one.

Sophie is becoming quite the bright and shining beauty more and more each day. She enjoys the word "NO" and responds every sentence with it.

I hope this is not a dream in which I must be forced to wake...

Love at first sight




A Little Slow...

So I am a little slow at getting on here...
Today has been an very irritating day that has only made me angry.
Here is why:

1.) I am upset that my daughter has to stay on formula for 6 more months as I believe her weight is fine and she is simply small.

2.) I hate how life keeps reminding me how I could not breastfeed. It was one of the things I wanted to do the most and due to Sophie's weight and size it was simply not capable. She could not latch and was losing weight FAST! I just wish I would have had a better support system to help me figure out a way to get past the latch issue.

3.) Sophie has switched from cloth to regular diapers and this irritates me. She had been using G Diapers faithfully until I lost my faith in them. They leak like crap after only a couple months use! She is so cloth to potty training I did not see the use (or financial need) to go into another $500 cloth brand. (Bumgenius)

4.) The three things above irritate me because I like things going my way. We are eco-friendly family and had planned ot keep it that way.

5.) Lastly I did not get the pharmacy tech position and have to stay at the crappy nursing home.


Those five things suck.. but on a positive note I made a delicious dinner. Whole grain basmati rice with Aiddells sausages and a fresh salad. I am also trying a detox diet out. It involves drinking lemon juice and flax each morning. I am not doing this to lose weight but to simply release toxins from my body.

6 MORE MONTHS TILL MY INTERNSHIP

6 MORE MONTHS TILL ME WEDDING

All in all life is good.
