</tbody></table> then it was time. i finally got nervous. not sure why, i was more than confident in the fact that i was marrying my best friend, i knew he would be up there and not running for the hills. but, i was nervous. i think it was all the people. and the fact that they would all be looking at me. YIKES! get me up there to teach sex ed, and i would be cool as a cucumber. this, me walking in a white dress down the aisle, however, terrified me. oh well...here we go!<br />

<br />
after having a private dinner, we were hopeful that it would pass. and it did... just long enough for us to run out and be introduced, say a few words and go cut the cake. and then, then the clouds just let loose and it was a for real deal storm. <br />
<br />
sh*t.<br />
<br />
<br />
after the beautiful set up, and my visions of what our reception would be, it was nothing like that. our photo booth was ruined, the music equipment was drenched, everything that was to be outside, was done. people had high-tailed it out of there when the rain came. i can't blame them, there wasn't a whole lot of room for cover. the whole time planning, i had looked at this event as a huge party and wanted it to be fun and amazing for all of our guests. yes, it was our wedding, but i really looked at it as an event for our friends and family. but the rain put it all in perspective for me. yes, it was a party. it was for everyone else, but more specifically, it was for us. and as much as i hope everyone had fun, the most important part of the night was the fact that we were married. so, even though we danced to an i-pod, lost many of our guests, and were crammed in a small room, it was the most wonderful night of my life!<br />
<br />
<br />
i honestly believed that getting married would be fun, but that it wouldn't really be any different. what difference was a piece of paper going to make? <br />

my reasons for not blogging may not be great, but here goes. <br />
1. i got lazy. <br />
2. i became secretive. well... not secretive but lots of things surround the wedding (which is WAY closer...ahhh) and i kind of want to keep things quiet about that for now. can't explain why, it's just the way i am.<br />
<br />
i will be back if i can even find things to talk about. daily life consists of going to work, going home, repeat, repeat, repeat. D-R-E-A-R! when i die and am on my way to eternity, i sure will happy knowing i spent the majority of my time in an office.<br />
<br />
on a happy note....we are almost under 100 days until i'm a mrs.!!!! and then....vacation!!!

<br />
another thing that has really put a damper on optimism and butterflys and lollipops happened very near to my life. my work life. i work in many, many small towns and counties. one morning i was on my way to watonga, about an hour or so northwest of oklahoma city, for an 8th grade wellness day. i get a text about a murder. the victim, a little girl. i won't go into any details that i know, which is nothing more than what the news has said, but an 8 year old girl was killed by a relative, who then tried to bury her in a field. this is the stuff you see on tv. it doesn't happen around "here", wherever your "here" may be. to think of this little girl, and what those terrifying moments must have been like, breaks my heart. and to think that people of the murderer's mentality exist, is beyond scary. but they do. and they live in our world. it's reality.<br />
<br />
so, not to be a complete debbie downer, but these are the things that have kept me from writing. to try and sum up things of this magnitude in a few words is nearly impossible. but to not speak of them would be heartless. <br />
<br />
now that i've brought you down enough, let me lift you back up with some pictures....<br />

<br />
last thursday my sister calls me asking if i've talked to mom. no...i hadn't, why? this leads to her telling me that she called mom's phone, some lady answered (obviously not mom) and said that she was taking our mom to the ER because she was having horrible pain and couldn't move. i'm sorry, what? where is she going? what is wrong with her? where is the pain? keithley did not have a lot of answers to these questions, but said she would call me when she found out more. well...after hanging up, what do i do? immediately call my mom's phone. i was pretty much told the same things, they were at the hospital, filling out paperwork (just what people in HORRIBLE pain want to do, right?) and that she would call when they figured something out. i talk to dad, and then to keithley again and we decide to <a href="http://webmd.com/">webmd</a> it. in our professional opinions, we ruled out appendicitis, but couldn't pinpoint the exact problem!<br />
<br />
After a bit, my mom has to get a CAT scan, my dad is out of town on work, and so i head to the hospital. lovely establishment. upon my arrival i told them who i was there for and they told me i could wait until she got back from her scan. umm...okay b*tch. seriously? so i wait in the waiting room, which is where they put all the sick people too rather than finding rooms or beds or something for them. my mom comes out, her friend leaves and after about 10 minutes they take us back to a <strike>room </strike>scary, scary place. now this is where dead people come into the story. and i mean no disrespect here, but i feel i should be honest. they take us past all the <em>glass-walled</em> rooms, (guessing privacy isn't a big issue here?!) which are all full, and down to the last door. emergency room 16. ugh. avoid at all costs. now, my reason for thinking this might be a final stop for some.<br />
<br />
Number one- it is TILE all around...floor and walls. easy clean up?<br />
<br />
number two- it has a door to the outside. ambulance pulls up and they go right in. which...i kept worrying was going to happen as we sat there. <br />
<br />
number 3- there is a hand-held shower on the wall. maybe to spray the blood away?! <br />

DAMN! my thoughts were so much cooler and more first 48ish (reference to one of my favorite shows)! <br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">(seriously....i'm not trying to make light of tragic events, but, well....i find it interesting)</span><br />
<br />
my mom ended up having to have surgery that evening for a hernia. it was causing other problems and if just left untreated would come back, so they said they needed to go ahead and fix it. the surgery went great, the recovery a little more interesting. she was cussing up a storm in her room, which is fine by me, but considering the religious affiliation of this hospital, it may not be the most christian-like behavior. i personally don't think god minds though. he has other things besides <em>words</em> to worry about! after a lot of f-words and enduring a brag-a-doshish nurse, my mom got to go home in the wee hours of the morning. she has been resting and is doing good. my dad on the other hand, is a bit lost. i had to go help with laundry because he didn't know how to work the machines! you think his mom and my mom have spoiled him a bit?! but that's okay, give the man a lawn to mow or a car to wash and he's as happy as can be!<br />
<br />
all of that said, there is something about waiting or hospitals that is just exhausting. i woke up on friday feeling like i went on a charlie sheen bender! rough! <br />
<br />
p.s. that guy is a total whack job!<br />
<br />

<br />
other than all of that stuff, things are pretty calm around here. the wedding plans are going, although slightly stalled. STILL waiting for that perfect dress. it'll come, i know it!<br />
<br />
this past saturday was PERFECT in every way! <a href="http://www.brendanparkermusic.com/">spaghetti eddie </a>(also known as brendan parker) was playing at the oklahoma city museum of art. the plan for the day was to go there and rock out with some kiddos and then afterwards head to Eischen's in Okarche. i tagged along with gena & blake, and we met carrie & brendan, ashley & garrett, april & dusty, and meghan & tyler at the show. it was so funny to watch all of these kids....especially miss p. cates. i don't think she ever stood still! super cute. well, mid-show i run to the restroom and am headed back to my seat and just happen to look over to see joe walking towards me! he got a quick break from work and surprised me....SO FUN! he is so good at that :) i was so happy to see him and pretty pumped that i had a 'partner' for the day and was no longer the <strike>3rd</strike> <strike>5th</strike> <strike>7th</strike> 9th wheel! <br />
<br />
after the museum we met up with sally & ted, but lost the cates, to head to eischen's. we were planning to caravan out there, but thought it would be a lot more fun if we could all ride together. Soooooooo....we got a limo! sounds a little pretentious, but really it was just so we could all have fun together there and back and not worry about anything. it was an absolute blast with fun, fun people! the night was literally perfect! <br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white;">sadly, joe had to get up early the next morning and head back to work. but i was so happy he came home, even if it was just a few hours! one thing about his job, you realize how precious time is and learn to enjoy it as much as you can!</span><br />

LAZIEST blogger ever. absolutely-zero-to-say blogger! <br />
all of these are slightly accurate, but the truth is, between work where we're writing a grant and learning to be tai chi instructors, and all things wedding, i just haven't had the mental capacity to sit down and share thoughts. because my thoughts are all over the board right now. nothing i could want to write will cohesively go together, but hey....we'll give it a shot!<br />
<br />
last week was one of those weeks where the world just seemed like a vile place. one where you just wonder "What the hell is wrong with people" over and over again. first thing, which if you live in okc i'm sure you've heard, but an off duty police officer was beaten so badly his neck is broken. he has a wife and three children and now he's lying in a hospital bed with the very real possibility of never walking again. it all happened because he was trying to appease the bar staff where he was watching the Thunder game with his dad and deal with some unruly patrons, when they just decided they could do whatever they're pea sized brain wanted to do. these people are the epitome of trash. just complete douchebags. it is most definitely a moment, without even knowing any of those involved, where the anger and sadness takes over and it seems like the world is just a mean and awful place. there is absolutely zero sense to this whole tragedy.<br />
<br />
then, i'm driving home the other day and there are cops surrounding a bank near my house. come to find out someone robbed it just a few short hours after they attempted to rob another bank a couple miles away. WHY, WHY, WHY do people think that they can take what isn't theirs. thieves run a close second to people who harm others or animals in my mind. (and yes, i put animals and people in the same category which is a whole post for another day. but today, just go with it.) i can not comprehend why people think that they have the right to take what is not theirs. for someone to work incredibly hard to live the life they want to, just to have some thug come and take it...UGH, it infuriates me. i've had my purse stolen, joe has had his golf clubs stolen, my brother has had his tv stolen...although all different, they all piss me off to no end!<br />

after all of this anger i'm spewing, i'm going to do my best to go into this week a happy person and look for the good in the world. in spite of the crap i've listed, i know that the good IS out there and it is important to look towards that, without turning a blind eye to the bad.tylerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17107374847561160430noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4828254319666264164.post-88744853672583680082011-02-12T12:13:00.000-06:002011-02-12T12:13:18.052-06:00TLC...you scare meToday is a big day in the steps to getting married. it's dress shopping day! i'm excited and nervous, but hope it will be a good experience. <br />
i have a few reservations. mainly, i am nowhere where i need to be body-wise. i haven't really jumped on the dieting/exercising wagon that is staring me in the face. i need to. i know that. but i guess i'm putting it off just a bit because i know once i start, that's it. i have got to go at it hard core! but, today, i'm not there. so i'm hoping that i can envision what these dresses WILL look like on in shape, tan tyler!<br />
secondly. i watched say yes to the dress last night. i've never watched this show before. it was kind of fun. but kind of daunting. but the thing about this episode was that it was brides and moms disagreeing. now, janice and i don't always agree on things. i know, shock! but it's true. i just hope we can find something that we all (keithley too) like! i think we will, i'm just hoping it's not a long, drawn out process! everyone says you'll know when you know. i hope so. that's how i felt when i walked into my house before i bought it. i just felt it. so, let's hope this is like that too!<br />
<br />
wish us luck!tylerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17107374847561160430noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4828254319666264164.post-24826749775711182011-02-10T16:40:00.000-06:002011-02-10T16:40:14.666-06:00back to life, back to realityhi my friends-<br />

we did indeed get a snow day yesterday. although i was slightly disappointed with the weatherman's inaccuracy, it was enough to keep us home. i did enjoy some laziness, but amazingly got some things done too!<br />

i also made some wedding related phone calls. can't say that i got very far, but what can you do? i'm trying to be organized (which is not a 'tyler' word) and keep everything straight, but it's proving more difficult than you would imagine. even with a planner, calendar, notebook, sticky notes, and mags-out-the-you-know-what, some form of a.d.d kicks in. i'll start looking up flowers and before you know it i'm trying to find good honeymoon spots for october! (ps...any suggestions?) <br />

today was back to work, and even though we opened 2 hours late, i am dragging! i have not had a full 5-day work week in four weeks and it <strike>is going to </strike>has completely spoiled me. next week should be interesting. you might want to stay far, far away from me!tylerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17107374847561160430noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4828254319666264164.post-39046910557601120252011-02-08T13:18:00.001-06:002011-02-08T20:35:05.080-06:00here we snow again....ba-dum bum!<br />

<br />
maybe. we shall see i guess!<br />
<br />
i should probably get some things done with the time, like my taxes, maybe some wedding planning...but sometimes doing nothing is so much better!<br />
<br />
speaking of planning, we're moving right along. <br />
date-check. <br />
venue-check. <br />
photographer-check.<br />
now on to <strong>everything</strong> else!<br />
i'm hoping that it will be less stressful from now on. trying to decide on where we wanted it to take place was brutal! between our indecisiveness and places being booked, i was becoming a bit grumpy! (me? never!)<br />
but i'm super happy with how it turned out and hope everything just falls into place!<br />
<br />
Stay safe, dry & warm!<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
our trip to crested butte. AMAZING! even without the engagement, it was a perfect trip. if you have never been there, i highly recommend. even if you aren't a snow person. something about that town just makes you happy. <br />
<br />
to begin our trip, we drove. which we swore we would NEVER do again. but, sometimes plans just don't work out. so we left OKC at about 3:30-4ish and headed west on I-40. we didn't even make it out of the metro area when we saw our first "road trip sighting" and it was a good one. in the median of I-40 were two horses, cowboys on back, looking over a rather large, black mound. we get closer and see that the cowboys (seriously...real life cowboys) have ropes in hand and have roped a big cow! now....i don't really do rodeos, at least not the roping part. it makes me sad. BUT, this appeared to be a happy roping experience. from what we could tell, this cow had escaped from somewhere, was cruising I-40, which is NOT a place for a cow, and these lovely cowboys stepped in and helped! joe assured me that the cow was okay, that the roping wouldn't hurt him. it was quite a sight and one of those moments when you remember that people ARE good. <br />
<br />
we continue on our way....west to the Oklahoma/Texas border, and then start to veer northwest. the fun thing about our road trip was that blake, gena, carrie, brendan and james were about an hour or so behind us, so we were non-stop communicating via text with updates on our trip and what they could expect, so it was kind of like we were all together. somewhere in the middle of the texas panhandle, we see flashing lights in the rearview mirror. awesome. seriously....this was a prime example of a bored cop. there was nothing around but fields of who knows what! (it was dark at this point). but, he was nice and gave us a warning and sent us on our way. 6 miles after that, stopped in a town for water and restrooms, got back on the road, and i am not kidding you, within 2 minutes we saw flashing lights again! we were not speeding this time....for real! this fellow was a highway patrol and really just wanted to warn us of the weather we were getting ready to encounter. we told him we had just had a lovely visit with another law enforcement gentleman and he was actually irritated that someone else was on his turf! HA! <br />
<br />
cut to somewhere in the middle of New Mexico. WHITEOUT conditions. the blowing snow at this point was unbelievable and i don't know how joe did it because i almost had a heart attack every few minutes. it would be okay....and then nothing but white. to add to this lovely experience it was a 2 lane highway with construction! awful. <br />
<br />
we finally made it to our pit stop in canon city....at about 2:30 am...local time. we were exhausted. <br />
the next morning we were up and at em and ready to make the significantly shorter drive on to crested butte. PLUS, it was scenic so it was so much better.....<br />

</tbody></table> the rest of the weekend was spent shopping, drinking, eating and enjoying the company and surroundings. it was perfect.<br />
<br />
the wedding was wonderful as well. the couple looked like they stepped out of a magazine and were so happy! i wish i had more pictures of that night, but i was busy celebrating the occasion! a side note here....in crested butte, no one gets dolled up. which was awesome! but the night of the wedding we all looked a fool in our dresses and heels, suits and ties! but it was cool, we like to stand out and make a statement!<br />

<br />
this time i've been out of town on a WONDERFUL trip. we went to Crested Butte for jacqui & justin's wedding! that place is absolutely amazing and i will for sure be doing a post on it and the wedding (just think supermodels!)<br />
<br />
<br />
my news i want to share here though is....I'M GOING TO BE MARRIED! yep. it's true. somewhere pigs are flying and hell is experiencing a cold front! who would have ever thought?!? so, for this post i will tell the super fun proposal story. here you go....<br />
<br />
<br />
we actually arrived in crested butte on thursday, and this is when everyone else found out. but not me! joe talked to jacqui & justin (the wedding couple) and mentioned possibly doing the proposal at the reception. the reason for this is that joe and i have made a "thing" out of catching the bouquet and garter at the last <s>few</s> many weddings we've been too. most guys shy away at the garter toss, so joe has always thought it was fun to be super overzealous. joe's plan was after he caught the garter and i caught the bouquet, he would do it. joe asked j & j their thoughts and if it would be okay. obviously, this day was about them, not us. but, them being the super cool people that they are, were all for it! <br />
<br />
cut to the reception. they've just done the garter toss and joe caught it with ease. i get out there with instructions from joe that i "better catch it!" i guess i didn't pick up on his urgency, because i most definitely did not catch it. oops! <br />
<br />
after this i went outside or something and joe was going to take the ring back to the room and save the proposal for colorado springs. (we went there after crested butte) jacqui decided no, we're getting this done! <br />
<br />
i came back in, and many of us hit the dance floor doing "the dougie". (side note: i believe i told everyone this that night as well, but that dance is really "the shiz", which i saw on first 48) as that song was coming to an end, the dj calls joe up. STILL...i think nothing. well, Better Together by Jack Johnson starts playing (which i've told joe i want to dance to at our wedding) and joe comes over to me to dance. everyone else starts moving to edge of the dance floor as we're dancing and i am asking over and over "what's going on?" starting to freak a little. keep asking. joe keeps saying "we're just dancing" AAHHH!!! finally he says, reach into my right pocket (kind of sounds naughty....but he didn't mean it like that!) i respond with a huge "NO!" then he pulled out the ring, got on one knee, and asked me to marry him!!! i was in complete SHOCK!!! i looked at him, looked at the ring, looked at him....and finally said "ABSOLUTELY YES!" it was a complete surprise to me, but not for anyone else! it was so much fun to share it with such wonderful friends. <b>and i can't thank j & j enough for letting us share in their big day! </b><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia;">he is here, but has been in class pretty much non-stop, so not much has changed. it's just like i have a roommate now. things are in the wrong place, there's cups and shoes where they shouldn't be, you know...the norm. but...i am very happy he's here, as are the pups. they want to be as close to him as possible at all times. cute. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">and as soon as class for him is over on thursday, we are on the road and heading to this....</span><br />

</tbody></table> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">so next week i should have plenty to discuss and lots of pictures to share!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">but for now, a few things that have crossed my mind lately. meaning they may or may not be of any interest to you and are probably not that important in the big scheme of things. but, nonetheless.....</span><br />
<br />
<strong><u><span style="font-family: Georgia;">sandwich shops & tipping</span></u></strong><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">has anyone else noticed this new trend? go to a sandwich place, STAND in line to order, STAND in line and wait for order to be made, pay at the counter (not a table) and BAM! there is a tip line on your receipt to sign. i'm sorry but what? why do i need to tip? this person did not seat me, did not come to my table to take a drink order OR a food order, didn't even have to walk my food to me, but rather called my name and i came to them! so why, please tell me why, these places believe i need to tip them? i've waited tables and it's hard. really hard. so i'm all for tipping actual servers for their hard work and shitty pay ($2.13/hour when i waited) KNOWING that this is where their pay actually comes from. but i don't think (i may be wrong) that these places pay that. i may sound like an old, grumpy lady, but this really bothers me and now i feel better for letting you know!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;"><strong><u>keratin hair treatment</u></strong></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">or, as i like to call it, my sanity. seriously, this stuff is ahh-mazing! if you haven't heard of it, the keratin treatment is a process done by a trained professional that basically tames nappy hair! kidding, but not really. i have naturally curly hair. through the magic of flat irons, i have destroyed it and basically continue to do so. cue keratin! it doesn't make it perfectly straight, but now instead of tugging on my hair and repeatedly going over it with the flat iron to get those damn cowlicks flat, i simply blow it dry and quickly run the iron over it, causing far less damage than before. i love, love, love it! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">i did it last spring and it lasts 6 months, meaning i was long overdue for another treatment. and i'm not going to lie, it's not cheap. so i had been waiting on finances for me to get back in. well, for one of my christmas presents, joe sent me to jeff to get my hair did!!! joe is so good! if you or anyone you know has unruly hair....let me know and i will get you jeff's info. it will make you and those who have to live with you so happy!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;"><u><strong>those jehovah witness ladies </strong></u></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">about a year or so ago, a jehovah witness came by our house. joe, being joe, talked to her. BIG mistake. HUGE! now she comes back on a regular basis, sometimes bringing her jehovah witness friends. she will bring us literature, read to us from the scripture, and ask us leading questions like </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">"you think with all the bad in the world that god has a plan for us and the problems are not his doing but rather evil people's doing and he will punish them but those of us who live christian lifestyles will be welcomed into the afterlife, right?" </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">blank stare. ummm.....well.....yeah. sure. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: x-small;">(slight exaggeration, but not much)</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">so me, tyler, the girl who has opinions about everything and can have a loud mouth CAN'T TELL THEM TO LEAVE AND NOT COME BACK. i don't know why. i'm sure if i told them what i do and what my beliefs are and that the guy they think is my husband isn't, he's really my live-in boyfriend (GASP!) they might leave me alone. maybe. or worse, they'll come back <strong>more</strong>! and let me tell you, these ladies are persistent. yesterday...they rang the door and i was right there on the couch but didn't move. just sat super still and told the dogs to hush. waited. waited. they kept standing there. waited. OH MY GOD LEAVE! knock, knock, knock. you have got to be kidding me!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">so....for now, i just nod and smile and take the literature and agree to discuss it when they come back. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">p.s. today that literature is on it's way to the recycle place. at least i'm green with it!</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">after too much rambling, i'm </span><span style="font-family: Georgia;">going to end with a little bit of (my) happiness....</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">i have been looking for a pair of brown boots like crazy for some time now. in stores. online. wherever! i just happened to stumble across a pair on <a href="http://amazon.com/">amazon</a>. seriously, it was a complete stumble because it wasn't really listed, it was a "people who looked at this shoe also looked at this" type of thing. ONE size left. ONE. and guess what? it was MY SIZE!!! score! what <a href="http://amazon.com/">amazon</a> had led me to were </span><span style="font-family: Georgia;">really cute, <a href="http://www.jessicasimpsoncollection.com/">jessica simpson</a> boots. now....i know some people have strong opinions about her, but girl knows how to have a business. have you heard her <em>empire</em> is a <strong><em>billion-dollar empire!</em> </strong>i'm jealous. and not ashamed to admit i like her collection.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">in addition to brown boots i've been wanting a pair of "cold-weather" boots. oklahoma has certain days where i wish i had water-proof, warm shoes. but, spending money on something i may only <em>need</em> a couple of days a year is very hard for me to do. however, thanks to my dear friend jacqui, i had the perfect reason to actually find some. girl is getting married a WEEK from saturday in crested butte! i. can't. wait. so ready to get away. and of course celebrate their wedding! :) i found these really cute <a href="http://www.bogsfootwear.com/">boots</a> , and to top it off, they were cheaper than any other site. i love a deal!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">so yesterday i get home and have TWO boxes waiting on me. i don't know about anyone else, but getting packages and/or mail (excluding bills) excites me. sometimes i wish i lived back in the day where that was a very real and very vital part of communication. now we have cell phones, email, texts, instant messaging and all sorts of things to keep us <em>constantly</em> connected, which, in my opinion, can be a bad thing. (sidenote: sooooo glad we didn't have all of this stuff when i was growing up. my mom was practically a private investigator anyway! hi mom) someday, when we're dead and our kids, grandkids, some person our kids hired to get rid of it all, are going through our things, the chances of them coming across a handwritten letter or postcard are slim to none. and that's something i've always found fascinating, finding these personal thoughts, written by that very person's hand, postmarked a date from way before i even existed. there is something very intimate about that, even if it's someone you don't know. it takes your mind to another time and the curiosity of it all, of where they were, why they wrote it, what they were feeling, what happened to them after the letter...it's all very intriguing. so, i find it sad that it is dying. if it isn't already dead. (apologies for so much "dead" talk) </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">wow. tangent. i'm sorry. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">anyways, i LOVE <a href="http://amazon.com/">amazon</a>. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">well i think winter has finally and officially arrived. not completely sure how i feel about it, but i think it can be nice in small doses. the bitter cold doesn't bother me so much, it's the bitter cold PLUS oklahoma wind. ridiculous. my theory... if it's going to be cold, SNOW dammit!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">however, snow, or the tease of it, is on my list right now. yesterday joe was supposed to come home for a week long class. once his class was done we were going to hit the road to colorado for a wedding. apparently the company thought it was too dangerous to drive so they put a ban on travel. i think all i said when i got that text was "seriously?". seemed a bit overzealous for me, but oh well. i guess i can respect that they're watching out for their employees, but i would respect it a LOT more if it wasn't so over the top! hopefully though the travel ban will be lifted soon and the class can start as planned (after the "big snow") on thursday. </span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><span style="font-family: Georgia;">yesterday was tough though. i knew going into this that he would be gone, and i haven't been too shabby at handling that if i say so myself! but having the company basically control <strike>his</strike> our life is hard to adjust to. making plans is pretty much impossible, and even if we do, we have to be prepared to be let down. this is something i am obviously going to have to work on. i'm going to have to become a fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants type of girl! i can handle that. as long as i can bitch while flying! </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">obviously we have started a new year. can i get a hallelujah!?! i have never been so happy to see a year go. 2010 was a very trying year for me. there was a lot of drama and heartbreak, anger and saddness, and basically a lot of "what the f*ck?" (sorry....sometimes i have to use ugly language to get my point across!) </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">that being said, it went from horrible to wonderful. i can't stand the cheesy saying "need to find myself" but that is exactly what i did. i made decisions and moves for ME and only me! i rediscovered the amazing people in my life. i found happiness in doing absolutely nothing. i quit worrying about the negative in life and started enjoying the positive. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">i believe that sometimes we think too much about ourselves and not enough about others, or too much about others and not enough about ourselves. i found that balance of me and you. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">so for all the turmoil and B.S. that i experienced, it led me to a better place! a happier place!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">and, just to be fair, 2010 wasn't ALL bad. there were LOTS of additions to the world, all perfect and snuggly and precious! </span><br />
<br />
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><span style="font-family: Georgia;">after all of that, i had one of my very best new year's EVER. after not being here for Christmas, joe made it home for the welcoming of a new year and all of 4 nights! but hey, i'll take it. </span></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">all of that being said, it can be trying. especially that first month or so. oh. my. word. if anything could go wrong....it did! i'm not sexist or anything, but if i ever needed a man around, it was then. some things are just man-things. first this...</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">after a lovely day of hanging out on a RURAL high school football field, testing kids, in the RAIN, this happened. middle. of. nowhere. luckily, i was able to make it to the hennessey golf course where some very kind men helped me. it might be important to note that after being soaked by the rain prior to this, i had seriously contemplated stripping down for my ride home. lucky for these guys, i opted to sport a random hoodie that i had in my car. whew! that could have been embarrassing! anyways, the guys put on my donut and i cruised at a cool 50 the whole way home, got a new tire (thanks mom & dad) and life goes on. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">well, <s>after</s> <s>during</s> who knows when, this happened....</span><br />

</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">this was actually coming. we knew that. after a few $200 water bills, we figured something was wrong. lucky for us, <s>we</s> joe got to buy a whole new water line! woohoo! so yes, i did have him for this, but it was the calling plumbers, getting estimates, scheduling the replacement, turning off the water (in the ground, by the curb) EVERY day that really wore me out. like i know anything about plumbing! there's a leak. don't know where. know nothing of sofits, cocksomething or others, or any other technical terms. JUST FIX IT PLEASE!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">i survived though.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">after a few months now i'm getting somewhat used to this life. the weeks are fine. go to work, come home, repeat. the weekends...well, that's a little different. all in all they haven't been too bad. i've had some good ones and i've had some really lazy (sometimes boring) ones. but i think that this whole change is really good for us. in a way, we're closer now than we were before when we saw each other every day. we came to realize how much we love each other! (insert cheese slice here) and heck, maybe that's worth more than the end goal (land, house, animals)?!?!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">umm... nah. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> but it is a nice added bonus! </span><br />
