up again tonight.

I'm trying to sleep, but I can't ever sleep without Mike here. I am glad that he is working tonight though, so we can play cards tomorrow and do something fun tomorrow night. Not much is new, we bought a truck a couple weeks ago. I absolutely love it...and well, it is amazing seeing Mike get something that he loves so much! I keep meaning to take a pic of him and the truck so everyone on here can see how cute he is!!! We went driving around last night, we were going to go mudding but they closed down most of the places that he use to always go with his friends. We still had a lot of fun together.

We were planning on getting a house, but decided to put that off for nine months. We will be able to get a better loan with lower interest rates then...and hopefully find a house that both of us fall in love with. That is one thing I feel very strongly about-we both have to LOVE it. We have almost the same taste though, so as soon as we find it, I know it will all work out!

I guess I don't have much else to talk about. Life is going great, and I don't think I have ever been this happy. The weather has been so beautiful lately and thank God my allergies have not started up yet! I would really like to start walking or riding bikes regularly.

Hope everyone has a terrific weekend and stay out of trouble!

Lovey Dovey.

This weekend was suppose to be a huge celebration for Mike and Bill's birthday, and we had "fun," even though I was a bit cranky (I guess you would say.) We had a lot of fun playing cards, I saw a couple of people from my ex's family there, which I was slightly nervous about, but they are still as nice as ever. They were extremely nice to Mike and I, and made me realize how great of people the truly are. Mike won about $300 so that was great. I'm always so proud of him, he has so many talents, he amazes me more every day!

We then went and picked Bill up and went to Evansville. We ended up going to get a hotel room and calling a cab bc we were all planning on drinking. We THOUGHT we were being responsible and all. We then went to Arc Lanes again, but when we got there and I tried to drink-I was about to gag. So I ended up staying sober while they got drunk. Which was hilarious bc they were goofing around. We stayed there until about 2, when I called the cab to come pick us up again, and they said "it will be about 20 mins." We headed outside since Arc was locking up. We waited....and waited....and about 4 calls and 2 hours later, they finally showed up. Mike and Bill are about sober at this point. We decided to go to Steak-n-Shake after that, and of course when we got there, 3 people were working and a ton of drunk people were waiting. The shift manager wouldn't seat anyone, (for some reason), so there were probably about 20 people waiting at one point. One of the women finally had enough, went up and started yelling at this guy, so they got kicked out. We had probably been standing there for 30 minutes before we took a seat at the counter. By this time, I'm not sure why, I was so irritated and emotional that I am pretty sure Mike wanted to run and hide!!! He did end up getting irritated at me (bc of my bitchy attitude)...and of course where did that get us??? Me crying for like an hour straight w/ out being able to stop! I very rarely get like that, I think that is the first time I have cried in a few months, but since the time I woke up, most of everything had gone to crap really fast--so I had enough.

He is such a great husband to be able to put up with me sometimes. I know how much guys hate it when girls cry, especially for stupid reasons, but sometimes we can't help it!!! He just sat there and listened to me sob, hugged me, and kept getting me tissues. Whenever I really need him, he always does the right thing and is there for me. I know I go on and on about him, but I just feel so lucky to have him. I truly love him more than anything in this world.

I never expected marriage to be this great. Our marriage so far has been better then our relationship when we were dating. I have learned a lot so far, and noticed that we are really getting older. My mother bought us some more plates to match our nicer set, and I was so excited!!! haha. That's right, I get excited about curtains, comforters, dishes, and towels. :) It is so much fun to get things for our home.

Another reason we are getting older: We love listening to Alabama! haha. Back when I was in grade school and my parents would put that in the cd player, I would get so aggravated! I thought it was horrible! Then the other day we were in the car, and it was on one of our mixed cds, of course we were singing along to it when it hit us...omg we are just like our parents! I can only imagine when we have kids of our own, what they will think about our music.

Well all, I believe I am going to play a little online poker and try to wait up until Mike gets home from work! I doubt I will make it that late though. bye bye

trying to sleep!

I need to be sleeping, but I'm not really tired at the moment. I have to get up early and go to work, then we are going to play Texas hold 'em in E-ville, and from there hanging out with friends to celebrate Mike's and Bill's birthday! I'm not positive what they have decided to do, but if it is anything like last week, it should be a great time! I really wish I would have been able to save up about $500 so I could surprise Mike with the camcorder I wanted to get for him. It is kind of hard to save up a lot of money whenever you have bills and trying to get a house. We both decided to go buy gifts for ourselves as soon as we have a lot of money saved up. (him either a playstation 3 or camcorder and me an Ipod) Neither of us can justify spending a ton right now, especially after he bought me a new lap top for x-mas, and I bought him a car cd/dvd player.

I am really ready to get a house. I like having an apartment and all, but a house will be "ours." We haven't really purchased anything HUGE yet as a married couple. Although we were discussing it the other day, and it does NOT feel like we have already been married over 7 months. It feels like 3 or 4, I guess that is a good thing bc it has probably been the best 7 months of my life. It is kind of weird bc when I was going up, all I could think about was how much I wanted to have a career and be a professional woman. One that people admired and looked up to. I fell in love, and now my dreams consist of making Mike as happy as I possibly can, and making his life as easy as possible. Yes, I still want a career, but it just doesn't mean a lot to me any more. At least according to my priorities.

I guess each person is different in that way. Some prefer having a family over their career and vice versa. I want both as I said, but I will always choose Mike over and career. He is number 1 in my life, and always will be.

I tend to get on here and just start rambling about everything that crosses my mind. Might be boring to those of you that read this..haha. sorry. I think I really am going to try to go to sleep now. I put in a movie and hopefully it will help me sleep. Hope everyone has a great weekend.
