So I think someone should remind Mother Nature that it is the END of March, which means it's officially SPRING, which therefore means NO more snow! The 3 inches of snow/frozen rain we recieved last night was not at all appreciated. My normal 25 min. drive home turned into a 60 min drive with max speeds of 35 mph. Go away snow and winter. Take a hint, you're no longer welcome.
Easter was lovely. We went to Jason's church for early service and it was Amanda's moms last service there so we talked to her for a bit, then we headed over to Jason's aunt and uncle's for Easter dinner. It was soooo yummy. His cousin had bought a WII so we brought some games over and ended up playing and hanging out until 9:30. It was a very nice day.
So Jason and I are leaving for Cancun April 11th and needless to say I am looking forward to the beautiful weather! I've never been to Mexico, but Jason's been there numerous times and he loves it. I'm pretty excited, I can't wait!
Jason's birthday was yesterday. Happy 28th birthday gorgeous! We're planning on going to J Alexanders for dinner tonight to celebrate. Tomorrow we're going out to my grandparents for a combined birthday dinner for Jason and Caitlin since Caitlin's birthday is Sunday. So Happy early 20th birthday Caitlin Renee!
There are a lot of changes going on at work. Good and bad depending on the way I choose to look at it. Can't say too much now because I never know who reads this. I'll fill you all in later.
My mom is going in for her DNC on April 22nd. Finally. A month after that she will go back in for an ultra sound and other tests, then they should start her on the medication and as long as she reacts well to the medicine and can lose the weight she should be having the hysterectomy sometime around September or October. I'm praying that everything goes smoothly and she isn't in pain any longer.
Well I think that's about all I have to update. Until next time...

No Right Answer
So this has certainly turned into one of those weeks where you sit back and reflect and all you come up with is HmMmMm?!?
Let's start with the obvious. I 110% now completely hate my job. It's quite sad. I fear on some days that my job may cause me to become an alcoholic because by 1/2 way through the day all I can think of is that I want to go home and have a very strong margarita, etc. I never do have a drink, however, no need to worry, I'm too tired and drained by the time I get home. My job in theory is not at all difficult, but fellow employees make it so much more stressful than need be. We had meetings the last 2 days of what we can do to improve the shop as a whole and I finally got to speak my mind, along with everyone else, and I really hope that things start to change. I know I should be thankful that I have a job but it's really hard sometimes.
As most people know 1 of my biggest pet peeves is people who are hypocritical. I myself am guilty of this at times, but I really try to "practice what I preach." Well I learned a few things this week and all I can say is that some people need to start practicing what they preach. Don't sit here and lecture me on things that I should and shouldn't be doing when you go out and do those same exact things and not for one second do I want to hear that "my situation is different." It's not. End of story. I know I should be happy for people, and I am to a point, but at the same time I am torn and I have a lot of mixed feelings. I know I shouldn't be judgemental. Just another time I need to turn to God for his guidance. WWJD should be a much bigger part of my life I'm realizing.
Mr. Plumber is really really really getting on my last nerve. They came out last Friday to connect the pipes so we can finally have city water and to make a long story short they weren't prepared for what needed to be done because they haven't been here in 2 years so we rescheduled for today. They told me that the guys would be here first thing in the morning so I got up with Jason, only getting 4-5 hours of sleep, and took a shower since they have to turn off the water. I waited waited waited, still tired but trying to stay awake. I finally get a call at 10:30 from a guy and he is like is Jason at home and I told him that Jason works all week until 6. So he proceeds to tell me that he is going to come by tomorrow and take a look to see what all has to be done. HELLO, you already did that. You're just wasting my time. Jason already paid for it, so just install it. Grrr...
Well I guess that's all I have to complain about today. I hate seeming like an always negative pessimistic person. I'm going to work on some happier posts. Until next time...

Reflection
So I haven't exactly stuck to my New Year's resolution of updating every week. I decided to give it a makeover and I am going to try to update at least every week from now on. It's good to reflect on everything that is going on.
So I've been doing a lot of thinking and soul searching and I've learned a lot about myself and my present situations:
- I am in the most amazing relationship with the most wonderful man. I am happier than I could have ever imagined. And it blows me away how compatiable Jason and I are. In the almost year and a half we've been together we have never fought, we are constantly laughing and having fun, and we just have so much in common. He is honestly my perfect match, my other half. I love him today, but I will always love him more tomorrow.
-I harbor a lot of negative feelings. Not all the time, but instead of working on these feelings I hold them in. Whether these feelings are jealousy, hate, anger, etc, they aren't Christian and I realize, now, how important it is for me to turn to God to help me relinquish these feelings and live a more positive, healthier life.
-I really need to kick my diet into high gear. It's not just about wanting to look better and feel better about my appearance, it's now a health issue. I need to lose weight so I have more energy and prevent myself from enduring possible medical problems. I don't want to die at a young age. I want to see how the world looks in 60 years.
I would love to write more but I really need to get ready for work. I hope to update again possibly tomorrow so until then....
