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....

Where has the time gone?
So it's January 29th and is it just me or does it seem that this year is flying by? It feels like January 1st was yesterday. I guess time flies when you are having fun!
Jason and I had a busy weekend but it was tons of fun! Friday night we went over to Kevin's (Jason's former co-worker) house to play some poker. I had never played Texas Hold 'Em before but I was definitely willing to learn and play. I did relatively well the first game, I hung in there for a long time, but eventually was the first person out. The second game I had a KILLER hand or so I thought, and went all in and lost to Jason. Boo. Finally the third game came down to Jason and I and Jason eventually beat me. Luckily he won all 3 games for us. LoL. We got to meet some new people and made some plans for the Super Bowl so overall it was a very fun night.
Bright and early Saturday morning Kevin and Liz Jackson came over and we went up to Detroit for the 2008 North American International Auto Show. That was my first time going and I was blown away. There were some amazing vehicles sho
wcased! I found my next vehicle. 
wcased! I found my next vehicle. 
It's a BMW 135i. It's a brand new series introduced in 2008. They had several models, 128i, covertables, etc. The 135i was by far my favorite. Surprisingly enough a fully loaded 135i is reasonably priced for a BMW. Looks like a graduation present for myself. :-D
Sunday was definitely a lazy day due to not getting any sleep Friday night and having to wake up super early. I don't think we got up until after 10. Jason made pancakes. :-D It was cute. And unfortunately I had to go back to work. We were slow the whole night until about 10:15. I didn't end up getting off until midnight. GRRRRR!
Haven't worked out yet this week but I intend on getting up early tomorrow and working out for about an hour. My weight loss goal for this week is 3 lbs. I am confident I can do it. Well, that's about all I have right now. Until next time my lovlies...

Something Different
Well I don't really have anything to update everyone on. But, I'm trying to stay true to my resolution and blog at least once a week.
Work is still work. There are so many things that frustrate me and when I try and say something it seems to fall on deaf ears. I'm really trying to keep a positive attitude because I know I should be thankful I have a job in today's market, but it's still hard for me. I think I deserve to be treated better. Maybe something will come along, after all, prayer answers many things.
In my last post I shared my New Years Resolutions and I am happy to update that my "Lose 60 lbs" is well under way. I have lost 6 lbs. so far and that makes me so happy! Amanda introduced me to this absolutely wonderful weight loss site called SparkPeople.com and I am so glad she did! It's a site where you can not only track your calorie intake, learn new exercise tips, get yummy low fat recipes, but it is also a community where you can interact with other memebers and share stories and motivate one another. It's really great, people have been so kind and I can't wait to finally lose this weight and keep it off! After all, I want to feel confident and sexy when I finally get married. (Which I hope is within the next three years) That's a good goal, right? :-P Haha!
On a not so positive note, my mom had to go in for a mri and cat scan last week because her Dr. found a mass on either her ovaries or her uterus and they have to determine where exactly it is, the size, more than likely test it, and possibly perform surgery to remove it. Please keep her in your prayers and hope it's nothing to serious. :(
That's about all I have for this week, thanks for checking in (although I'm pretty sure the only person who reads this is Amanda, so I should pry just put AMANDA- THIS ONE IS FOR YOU as my title for my blog, LoL)
Until next time my lovlies...

So Far...
I've made it one of my New Years Resolutions to blog at least weekly. I'm hoping to update more often than that, but it's a good start.
So the Buckeyes lost. I know the SEC is tough, but I was really hoping that OSU would step it up and prove to everyone that the Big 10 is just as fierce. At least they didn't lose as badly as they did last year. Oh well, there's always next year. :-D
I've had an awful cold since about January 2nd and it is finally starting to go away. Only problem is, I'm pretty sure now I am getting or have an ear infection. :( Booooo. Way to start the new year.
So, like most people I made a few New Years Resolutions and they are as follows:
*Lose 60 lbs. and live a healthier life style
*Get back into school and maintain a 3.5 GPA
*Try and find a new job
*Go to church more often and be a better Christian
*Be more open minded, optimistic, and understanding
That's all for now, I'm sure I'll add more later on. It's good to give yourself direction. Well I better get ready for work.
Until next time my lovlies...

Out With The Old...
This blog is purely to reflect on 2007: the ups, the downs, and everything that this year has taught me.
*Patience really is a virtue
*Good things come to those who wait and trust in God
*The sun will always rise tomorrow
*Never go to bed angry
*You can't go anywhere without a college degree, and the faster I finish school and obtain my degree the happier I'll be
*It's okay to cry, but it is not okay to cry all the time
*I will always hate snow
*Some girls are naturally whorish and act stupid to get attention, but that's okay because I'm better than them
*I look absolutely ridiculous with short hair
*Not everyone is going to like you, and that's okay
*I've gained back all the weight I lost in high school, and that absolutely disgusts me
*I've found my soulmate, the person I'm going to grow old and wrinkly with, and that's one of the best feelings in the world
*I've seen more places this year then in all my life leading up to it
*It's not always "Best Friends Forever", people do change
*Your ex's are exes for a reason and it is perfectly okay to not want anything to do with them
*I hate being alone
*I am almost always cold and I really wish I could change that
*I have a tendancy of over-reacting sometimes
*I am more mature than most of the people my own age
*My family is absolutely amazing
*Jason is my best friend, he truly makes me a better person and I love him with all of my heart
*You may not always get what you want, but the things you need always seem to find you
*No one is perfect
I think that's enough for now. Good bye 2007.. hello 2008. Until next time...
