I love everything about you.

I'd like to take a moment to dedicate this post to my husband.

The moment I met him almost 6 years ago I had no idea we would end up where we are. We both like to talk about those first encounters and relive the memories that brought us together. I tell everyone who listens how amazing of a person he is and well here is just another time I'm doing that.

 


 

When we got married everyone was telling us how wonderful that first year is. The "honeymoon" year... well in our case while it was wonderful it was also full of stress and honestly, that made our relationship not as care free and honeymoonish as it should have been. Four months after we said I do we moved across the country.  

Chad focused solely on his music for the next 4 months meaning I was working paying all the bills and he was chasing his dreams which we fully agreed on but in time I was growing stressed. Then at the beginning of the year my mom moved in with us for 3 months to try and get on her feet to live in Seattle and while my mom is the best kind of roommate it just added tons of stress and worry to the basket I was already carrying. Chad meanwhile handled all of this with complete devotion and supported me with every decision but it was still hard on us to be really "honeymoonish happy." After things got back to normal and my mom ended up moving back to MS to take care of her mother we started finding our way back to our happy place together. Then Chad got a really great job and shortly got promoted, then recently I got promoted at my job and here we are almost a year later feeling back on top of the world. Which has really made me want to reflect on this past year with you guys.

 

I don't like to share a lot of the hard times on my blog and in general I try to stay away from negative emotions/feelings. However, I think it's really important to share with you guys that life is sometimes so hard it's easy to want to give up. I have experienced those moments of feeling so stressed out that I can't do anything but cry so hard I dry heave but I know now that I will make it through those moments. You will be okay and things will get better. I feel so blessed everyday of my life because I have gone through these difficult times already and we are now enjoying the rewards of our hard work and dedication. I never thought that I would have a partner like Chad. I never thought that someone would love my crazy/mean/annoying/anal self like he does. I definitely don't know any other guy that would be so understanding and helpful when it came to living with their mother in law for 3 months during his first "honeymoonish" year of marriage. I have the best husband in the world. I have the kindest man in the world and everyday even when I am mad at him all I can think about is how utterly blessed I am to call him mine.  

I think that year 2 of our marriage is going to be the best one yet that I hope leads into many, many, many more years of love. I feel like we can get through anything together and that we will achieve any goal we come up with. He is my entire heart and being with him makes me better. I feel like as individuals we are strong but together we are unstoppable.

 

Wait for a love like this...if you haven't found yours yet. Everyone deserves to have that one person that you can always depend on... no matter the fights, the differences, or the misunderstandings. When they love you this much... there's always a way to make it back to the "Honeymoonish Happiness."

 

Chad, I may not be able to write you love songs but if I could I'd already have a 1,000 done. Thank you for loving me. Thank you for understanding me. Thank you for following me around that party that night and for never doubting that what we had was so special that you wanted to put a ring on my finger and be with me forever. Thank you for always taking out the trash and filling my car up with gas because you know I hate doing it. I promise to love you for the rest of my life and to always help you go after your dreams just like you have helped me go after mine.

 

To put it simply... you're the best thing that has ever happened to me.

I love you so much.

Thank you.

 

 

 

 



Cut & Paste

The other night my husband started doing something weird...like Really weird.

He makes the movies with his friends (it's a long weird story) and then he puts them all together and creates a "DVD box jacket" before giving them each a copy. Now, these aren't box office hits but I expected a little better editing when it comes to the "jacket" Oh no... hunny bear literally printed out all of the stuff he wanted on the DVD jacket then assembled it on the back of an old white one so he would get just the right measurements...

It was at this point that I started asking questions... as in Why didn't he just use the computer and copy and paste this stuff then print it out nicely. He then got all defensive and was like, "This is how I do all of them I don't want it to be fancy" Okay, Michale Bay calm down. His panties were fully in a twist at this point and I started taking pictures just so I could show the world that He does NOT need any computer help people... just good ole' scissors, tape, and a copy machine will do.

 

I put my foot down when he asked me to take them to work and make copies... I will not be apart of this 1990's production.

 

In other news a diamond fell out of my ring at work yesterday. I threw a fit and after searching the carpet forever gave up. I hate tiny diamonds... they always fall out and then you can't ever find them. Thank god for lifetime warranties.

 

Hubs surprised me this week with an edible arrangement for getting a promotion. I love those suckers but I know he gets them for him too... this one was a fall bouquet and it had these chocolate dipped apples with this cinnamon/something sprinkle on top. HOLY MOLEY they were fantastic.

 

They look like this unwrapped:

 

I really wish I was back in Port Angeles RIGHT NOW so I could eat this again:

BEST BREAKFAST EVER.

 

 

I got new Betsey Johnson shades this week. Ignore the stupid lips/face and focus in on how awesome those aviators are.

Groupon! Only like $13 instead of the normal $65.

I'm a Groupon whore... I just bought 5 more today... really.

 

And I can't remember if I blogged about it or not but Chad actually won a basket of tanning stuff the other month pictured below:

I loveeeee all of these products but the real reason for this picture is to tell you all that Chad has started tanning! We went last night after we worked out and as I walked into the lobby after getting done Chad looked at me with this face and said the following just like the Kings of Leon song... "Ohhh my ass is on fireee"

 

I just about died laughing. Could not stop.

 

Now time for a nap then adventures tonight with fellow Mississippi folk.

Should be interesting...

 

October is full of witches...

AND bitches. What's better than both at once right?

I found that witch outfit at Ross for $7.00 and it was perfect for Olives Halloween doggy party on the 24th. I saw the witch hat first and new it had to be hers... she is always acting like a little witch and I even spray her with water in hopes of her stopping melting barking.

 

I love October! I love Halloween!

I started in my new position at work today and I literally could not be happier and we travel home to Mississippi in 29 days! It has been 10 months away and I am so excited to get to go back and see our friends and family; as well as, be apart of one of my best friends wedding! Best of all it is a Halloween themed event. Which I can't wait to expierence it AND get to post all about it on here! I am pretty sure this is going to be the most fun wedding I have ever attended full of gouls and gobblins I mean... love and happiness.

 

Now...time to start working on my coustume which is going to be the most epic thing you have ever seen. Bet.
