ugh...
okay so seriously...not to be a bia but i love being in love, i love posting about it, but enough is enough...if i see one more blog about my perfect hubby wubby i might barf all over myself. yes i have a great guy, yes he is in my blog...but come on - seriously he drives me crazy 87% of the time - and trust me from experience...(1 failed marriage) those little things that your guy does right now that slightly irritate you ... they only get worse. haha
i am not even kidding, so here is some advice on how to actually make your new relationship/marriage last:
1. have sex often (you can get him to compromise more)
2. if you are arguing take a deep breath, try to remember what you are arguing about or better yet who started it, if you cant come up with a solid answer - slap yourself in the face and pour yourself a glass of wine (this is to get you to shut the hell up)
3. make him think that he thought of it...it is the only way you can honestly get him to do anything around the house...it is kind of like having kids, if you make it a game he will want to win, ergo house gets clean :)
4. yes i know as a female i like to do what us girls call communicate - aka in guy language "nag/bitch" dont do this...if something needs to be addressed, the shorter and more to the point you are the better he will understand it.
5. if your guy is in a playful or giddy mood and you are pmsing for some reason - get over it - every time my guy is in a good mood i buy as much stock in it as i can.
6. and this is the hardest one for me...self esteem...if you are always talking down about yourself (ie...i'm fat, i'm ugly) it will piss your guy off. and if you say it enough, even if it isn't true (my case) your guy will start going along with it. then the next thing you know, he is asking you for a divorce and thinking to himself why did i stay so long with this fat ugly girl.
i know this sounds crazy, but trust me. i was with my ex for 2 years, we got married and lasted 7 months. i used to run 80 miles a week, weighed 130 lbs of all muscle, and was gorgeous; yet i had a shitty self image. so 7 months into our marriage and 4 states later he was asking me for a divorce and moved out of our house with the help of his new "love" a confident girl...who wasn't anything to look at.
confidence is key ladies!

how he did it...
so, i was trying to make this the first post of my new blog but i never down loaded the picture so here it is...
the night matt proposed he had the house all set up :)
i had one of many terrible days at work and was bummed that our softball game was cancelled...but when i got home i saw this :)
it was the most amazing moment thus far in my life...we cried, we laughed, and we danced...
we are so lucky we found each other.
frustration and a change of plans...that is just the way it goes
well, here i am monday morning...trying to get all of my thoughts together for work and school and boom! like a bomb it goes off, my schedule is not okay with my employer. so, what does this mean? well, for starters it means taking chemistry, microbiology, and anatomy and physiology II in the fall. it also means that this summer wont cost me as much money as well :)
however, more sad news came before it. it seems as though no matter how hard i prepared for my final it was inevitable...i was getting a b in the class. not only was the test completely different from anything we had been given prior; but, it was over information that we barely even touched on...so i cried it out. ate chicken wings. and drank wine. and that is how i do things.
so, with this b came the realization that i am not going to get into the nursing school i prefer. i am going to have to take another route. my wonderful fiance put it best when he said, "babe, it doesn't how you get there or when you get there...it is the ride and the struggles that will make it all worth while". so, i dusted off my b, realized that an a and a b my first semester back in college, while working 12 hour days, and playing softball 3 nights a week isn't really that bad.
God has a journey for me, He has a journey for all of us. it is just a matter of sticking to my faith ~ trusting in Him and allowing Him to direct me down the path i must take.

happy birthday baby brother!
congrats to my brothers!
well first of all, look how good looking the men in my family are! this was taken after my brother preston...far right tore it up at his golf tourney!but i just want to say congrats to both of them justin (the one in the middle) for being picked as the speaker for his baccalaureate and graduating high school and signing with valdosta state to play football and be their quarterback!
next, i have to congratulate preston...today is not only his birthday, but he is celebrating being named Scholar Athlete of the Year at Barry University! he graduates in about 2 weeks...and that makes me feel very old.
i am so proud of both of them!

Stress!!!
why do a blog...i have been asking myself this for years...and then i met my dear friend meagan...also known for the next 5 months as the M.O.H. (maid of honor) and she just has the cutest blog ever. the only thing is...people are actually interested in her life...mine isn't too interesting.
yet, here i am clearing my mind, my thoughts, and my worries and putting them all on paper...wait, no putting them on the computer page? i guess that is better. writing is so very theraputic for me anyways. i was actually in the midst of a novel before my sudden career change came along...but oh well, you role with the punches!
so now a little bit more about me...i am getting married - woohoo! it was scheduled to be march 7, 2010 but after much debate and talk we have decided to move up our wedding date by FIVE months! yes, we cant wait to get married...so why wait any longer than we have too! however, with this swift move up comes unnecessary stress such as paying for things sooner, adjusting our honeymoon, and yada yada. and on top of all of this fun wedding stuff...i have finals and my little baby girl dixie is in heat. yep, i said it h-e-a-t. i know i know i am a terrible person for not spaying her...but whatever. you can take away from your animal whatever you want...however, God gave her that for a reason...so neener neener.
