A New Beginning March 26, 2008

Happy Easter!  Adam and I had a whirlwind Easter this year, going to church and brunch with my family, then heading up to Sherman to visit his family right after brunch.  It was alot of fun, ALL the food was amazing, but I have to say – for the first time in a while, I got something I could take home from church.  The sermon was all about new beginnings, and I found it so appropriate that Adam and I were there to listen. 

Adam resigned from his current position on Friday. It’s been a while coming, he didn’t enjoy his job, and nobody should have to dread going into work everyday. He felt uncomfortable and always stressed out.  For me, this new chapter in our life is exciting.  It’s going to be difficult, but in the end, it will be well worth it.  Adam is finally making the leap to go back to school. We’ve talked about it and talked about it, but finally, we’re doing something about it.  This means lots of sacrifices, possibly moving, more staying home and alot more eating ramen noodles!!

 He’s accepted a job working for an insurance company, conducting the necessary medical exams when people try to obtain life and health insurance. It’s going to be alot of driving and some crazy hours, but he’ll have time to study and go to class. 

Listening to Blake at church really hit home, it is a new beginning for us, and it made me realize that hope is the best blessing we have.  That we can thrive on hope and love for a long time, and that is exactly what we are going to do.

Happy Easter!

 

The Ickness March 24, 2008

I’ve been “under the weather” since about the middle of last week.  I’m sure going to my friend Emily’s wedding and drinking and having fun all weekend didn’t help the ick-ness very well.  First it was a cold, now it’s turned into something throaty that makes me sound as if I’m dying a slow death.  It’s very attractive for Adam to hear, I’m sure.  The wedding was fun, overall a good weekend, but in the midst of all Adam and my stress, I assumed that I would have a good weekend without him.  It just proves that when you marry your best friend – you miss them!  Every single night I would say to myself, Adam would have such a good time here, or gosh, I wish Adam was here to see these Austin sunsets with me!  It’s kinda funny.  I did have a great weekend, besides me getting worse and temporarily losing my voice completely due to “ick” buildup or whatever other gross stuff happens to throats; but I do wish Adam was with me to experience all the crazy wedding madness. 

I did get THE BEST hairdo of my life.  I think it might have even been better than my wedding day.  It looked amazing, and for only 40 bucks! pretty surprising considering the girl who did it was a complete stranger. 

It was alot of fun to get my makeup and hair done again.  It’s like you’re a princess.  Or in my case, a gross customer who needs to stop and drink water every 3.5 minutes so she doesn’t cough all over you.

And now, I’m getting ready to work, secretly hoping that I will get there and sound horrible enough to be sent home.  What are THOSE chances! Ha!
