Oh These Days!

It's been such a long week! I didn't go to my two morning classes today; I was just so pooped out from work yesterday. It's always enjoyable, but I work hard the entire time I am on the clock. I don't notice how badly I am wearing myself down until I am about to collapse. Maybe that's not such a good thing???
I am super excited that tonight J and I are taking a midnight shopping run. I am buying super healthy foods such as raisins, sugar snap peas, and quinoa. I have been inspired yet again to beginning eating better for my health. J and I take vitamins daily and I have recently cut out processed snacks from my diet, but I want to do more.
To end, I want to put up some cute pictures of our sweet little baby....

Isn't she so obedient and precious?


"Sister! Quit taking pictures of me!"

My First Not Me!



Welcome to Not Me! Monday! This blog carnival was created by MckMama. You can head over to her blog to read what she and everyone else have not been doing this week.

It might take me a few Mondays to really get this going, because I am not so easily embarrassed and plus, I have an awful memory of events.

This afternoon J and I did not stop off at the bakery in town to buy a German chocolate cake, red velvet cupcakes, and creme horns. We are both trying to be healthier and would never sabotage ourselves in that way!

I also certainly did not get into a tiff with J over him never telling me how good my cooking is... or so I claim. I would never take an argument too far just to be a pest! Not me!

At work over the weekend, I would never have thought to myself, "If one more person comes in asking for a lemon squeezer, I'm going to scream!" but instead smile sweetly and tell them a shipment should be arriving soon. I would never lie through my teeth because we really have no idea about the shipment's arrival time. And why do people need lemon squeezers in February???

Speaking of fake smiles, I definitely did not watch the pilot of Lie To Me again on Hulu and wonder whether people can tell I am not giving a genuine smile because I don't have crinkles around my eyes. I most certainly did not stand in front of a mirror for ten minutes trying to give a convincing smile.

Not too many Not Me's, but at least this has been a good effort for the first week!

The Story of Us

I see many of my friends and family have started blogs, so of course I had to jump on the bandwagon! Just by itself, my life is pretty b-o-r-i-n-g, but it's just fantastic with J.


What's that? Who's J and how did I meet such a wonderful man? I'm so happy you asked...


J and I met at PU my freshman year and his junior. Little known fact, but I was scared of J and his roommate B in the beginning! Those boys needed to learn how to smile! Whenever I saw them, they were silent and just stared harshly at everyone. I guess they thought they were pretty bad! J *says* he liked me from the start, he thought I was cute and smiley. For the benefit of the story, let's just say he's telling the truth. It wasn't until the second semester of school that I really talked with J. I couldn't believe how interesting he was and he had such a great personality; very likeable. He was really dreamy to boot! I knew I had to take a chance because guys like that certainly don't come around everyday. The feelings I had for him were much stronger than just a giggly crush. I just chalk it up to God working in mysterious ways. Hindsight is 50/50 and now I see that God might have been tugging at my heart so hard in regards to J because He knew J would need someone in the near future.

Fast forward to early in the '08/'09 school year, I am about to begin my junior year at PU. J has already graduated and is now looking for a job. He made the decision to move to my hometown in hopes of better job opportunities. Now I certainly know I cannot live without that boy because not a week later, I withdrew from PU to come back home. I would follow that boy around the world if I had to!

As I sit here writing this, it is still such a miracle the turn my life has taken. To say I never thought life would be like this is too much of an understatement. But this is the way life is supposed to be because I can't imagine being happier than I am with him...
