Uhm... So obviously I've been slacking for a good nine months... No, I did not crawl into a hole and sleep. Yes, I have had PLENTY of funny, akward, sad, happy, life changing, AMAZING things happen to me. And yet I have not written a THING down.
So maybe I'll give it just a tiny bit of effort. We'll just start with a "Top 5" and see where it goes from there:
1) I am getting married. In ONE WEEK. Yes, I said it. The girl that chooses guys who are a-holes, only so that she has NO chance of actually liking them, therefore avoiding any REAL pain. The girl who deletes people from her phone because they have a spout of bad breath. The girl that actually nicknames according to country of origin... not because she thinks it's cute, but because she can't ever seem to remember the current guy's name. LOL. That girl has met her match, and SHE'S GETTING MARRIED! I have plenty plenty plenty to say about this, so I'll let it wait until I'm feeling more creative juices. Let's just say I fell in love on day #4. He has been known to be an a-hole. He sometimes has very stinky breath. And he has the SAME name as me (would totally be a deal breaker in normal circumstances). But he's wonderful. I love love love him. Triple love. The love that makes my heart hurt. I am so happy.
2) My FIANCE is going to Iraq. What the f.
3) My parents adopted ANOTHER child. Friggin crazy stuff, I tell you. They never sleep. They have baby locks on EVERYTHING... locks that I can NEVER figure out. They constantly get puked on. They clean up toys all day long. They suffer kicks and hits and even bites. But their house is full of love and joy. So amazing to be a part of. I visit often these days, partly because my future husband is sweating away in the desert... and partly because I feel like I'm going to blink my eyes, and they'll be all grown up. I love my family.
4) My baby brother is having a baby (Obviously HE will not be the one doing the pushing, but his girlfriend Ali is having a little baby girl in September). I am happy and sad for them all at the same time. They are excited and doing their best. They have a gorgeous house. Ali takes immaculate care of herself and the baby. Sam does EVERYTHING in his power to make her happy and comfortable. But they are so young it just breaks my heart. They are bratty, and I get so mad at them I could cry... and then they do the most sweet, adult, wonderful things, and I'm crying again. I'm really struggling with this one. Wish I wasn't. I just pray pray pray they are okay.
5) Hmmmm... I kind of ran out of things I guess. I'm looking for a job at the moment. Decided I was going to be some lifesaving doctor... then decided that I hated Science classes (which I've actually known since Mr. Jungmeyer's dumb Biology class) and quit. Item #1 on my list has made me rethink my priorities just a tiny bit... and I don't regret it a second. So I'm back on the job market. Boring way to end my list lol.
More to come.
