APRIL

Well folks, it has been 45 days since my last post.  HOLY FREAK, 45 days?!  Where in the world did that time go.  And the even crazier news, my sweet David and I only have 21 one more days until we are sealed together for time and all eternity.  So much has been going on around here, and most days I cant decide if I just need to cry, take a nap, be heard, or walk away.  Whoever decided you needed all this fancy wedding nonsense... take me to them... we need to have a chat, or just let me slap them.  So much has been changing around here, so here is the scoop.  Sorry for the bullets, they are the easiest way to get it all down and making sense.

- I got the job!  I have officially started a new job in my office. I now can say I only have one desk, one boss, and office life is great!  Well mostly. I found out about a month ago that the position was mine.  I was able to move back to my new desk, but I was having to maintain the other two desk while I worked the new one.  I always said that my previous job was WAY too much... because it was two jobs that had been morphed into one.  Well three jobs, proved to be too much.  Starting Monday the 28th, the new gal starts and I could not be more excited.  I'll be able to relax, focus on one job, and go home without being completely mentally exhausted. 

- David got the job!  David just got a job at Key Med ( a closed pharmacy), he is one of their drivers and is making great money and is working awesome hours.  I'm so proud of him, and am so grateful he is enjoying what he's doing.  He will work there for the summer, and will cut hours back once school starts up in the fall.  Now we just have to figure out how to get him to and from work..

- We are on the car hunt!  My handsome man needs a car... one car really wont work for us once we get married.  Our schedules conflict too much to be able to only have one car, so let the games begin!

- Our wedding invitations are being sent out this weekend.  After quite a nerve racking moment for a bride, last minute we had to switch where we were printing our announcements, and had to do it online... without seeing a test print or knowing what they'd turn out like.  After a heart attack, some intense prayers, and saving 150 dollars.  We are beyond thrilled.  Talk about beauties.  You should be excited to see what they look like. :)

- Because planning my own wedding wasn't enough for me, I offered to do the flowers for one of my very dear friends weddings.  We let them copy my idea and we made them feather boutonnieres and they turned out AWESOME.  We also made hair pieces for all of the women, that was a big Ole prayer on those two... never done that before!  And to top that all off, it took over one of our last free weekends before our wedding, AND I had to wear a dress in a specific color... a color I didn't own, nor could I find.... so i had to make a dress.   WE looked awesome though.  David was my saving grace that week, and despite a few nice sized fights, due to stress, we are happier then ever.   Word to the wise:  Try not to help, or be in a wedding when yours is a month away.  Too much stress.

Seriously though... didn't we look amazing?!


 

 - 2nd Place!  My adorable little volleyball team placed 2nd this weekend. We lost our final game by 2 points, and I will blame this loss on the loser of a ref we had.  She decided what we were doing was illegal half way through the second game.....I yelled the words "WHATEVER"  threw my hands in the air and walked off.... anyone who knows me knows that the words whatever are dangerous with me.... that means I am BEYOND pissed.   But oh well, we did amazing, and I'm proud of my girls.


Well guys, those are the big things from the past month.  It has been so crazy.  Full of love, laughter, tears, fights, and being beyond tired, but I wouldn't change it for the world.  Just the other day, David and I were sitting on the couch, scanning pictures and his 16 year old sister was asking us questions, about half way through our conversation she asked if we had fought yet.  Both of us wide eyed, laughed and said, "Yes." in unison.   She said, "Well when was the last time you fought,"  we both looked at each other and David said, "Oh, maybe a week ago, maybe less?" She looked at us, completely stunned that we had fought just a week ago and she hadn't known.  She asked us if it was awkward when we were fighting, and how  do you get over it and more, and I was so happy, and proud of our answers.  I just remember us telling her that it wasn't awkward to be around each other when we fight, but we may just want our own space for a minute to cool off.  We told her that we were actually happy when we got through our first fight, because that meant we knew we could work through things.  We told her that we would be more scared if we didn't fight, because that meant we weren't telling each other everything.  We said that we knew that a fight was just a disagreement on an idea we both had, but it in no way changed the way we feel about each other. My David was so wonderful in that moment as we talked to his sister, and I couldn't help but be proud. I love that man.  And I love how he handles things. 

This last month has turned me into a crazy person, and he still loves me with all that he is.  I have never cried so much, never had such knotted up shoulders, gained so much weight, or had so many grey hairs pop up on my head.  And he just sits there and holds me.  He can tell when I need a nap, and he'll rub my back until I fall asleep and then wash my dishes.  He is never short on compliments and is always my perfect person. The other day as I was getting ready to take him home, I started bawling, like can stop tears...but for one of the few times in my life they were pure happiness tears. I get him. forever.  I can never repay my Lord and Savior for placing this wonderful, gentle, sincere, happy, tender, funny, calm, warm man in my life.  All good things in life are worth waiting for. I just had to wait for him a while longer then I had expected.

I am blessed to call him mine.

by the way, we got this puppy!
