I Got Married!!


I got married the 14th, on Valentines Day. Isn't that just so sweet? We did the courthouse thing. It was so peaceful... it was just he and I and Sehara, along with my parents and his mom and grandmama. We did pictures, courtesy of Selah Photography and went to O'Charley's to eat. I sooo wanted a steak and got it. Overall, it was the calmest experience I have had in a while. His family adores Sehara and I, as does mine, and I couldn't ask for much more.

Right now Sehara and Tim are at Church and I'm sitting on my bum, experiencing a Huge headache. I've been getting them daily for about a week now. No fun.

Work has upgraded my hours to 20 a week (from 10). I suppose I'm part-time now. The thing is with them, that they send people home early all the time to "save labor". I got 5 hours cut off my week from going home early yesterday. Regardless, it's more than before. I can say that it stinks that I'll have to move out soon due to disrespect (first excuse), then the owners walking away from the house (2nd excuse) because of their financial situation, when I'll finally be able to give them more money monthly. But, I don't think that's going to happen (giving them my $$) because of the lack of reasons I was given. In turn, I think I was the friend that was disrespected the most. I keep care of this house better than they ever did, with a dog. I never thought I would see my great friend send me a text saying we were kicked out, without talking to me first. I think communication is the key to all healthy relationships, and I learned that the hard way. I have been questioning what kind of friend I have invested in the past three years to be smacked in the face. Did I ever really know her?

I called her right away and had to probe every corner of the conversation to get even the littlest reply. You can send those texts, but you can't talk?!? One of the biggest problems, besides lack of respect, was that the utility bill was high (ok, call me so we can discuss it). I don't get that I am the one to get the brunt of the blame when the roommate downstairs leaves the lights on constantly, they hadn't been turned off in three months until I went down to the garage to do it. And she leaves the garage door open all day in the friggin dead of winter, along with using that door as her primary leaving/entering door. Who does that? Yeah, we three upstairs use our fair share of utilities, but we definitely do not abuse it. We are very conservative in that aspect because we know that times are hard. To top it off, I was literally depositing all of my paychecks, minus $20 for gas, into her account for rent/utilities. We both knew that once I graduated it wouldn't be the whole amount, but when the jobs got rolling, it would eventually balance out.

On a more positive note, Sehara has started calling Tim "daddy". We both never asked her to do it. The day we got married, she just started doing it. It's still really awkward, but I guess we'll get used to it. I wonder if the grandparents had anything to do with it? hmm. Married life is so nice. It's not much different, because we were spending all of our time together beforehand, just now it's accepted...lol. We've been going through all of our things to figure out this moving stuff, trying to get rid of the junk for now. I've accumulated quite a bit since I have been on my own. It's my pride that wants to keep it all, I earned it, ya know?

Sick Girl

I have a sick girl home from school today. She has a little stomach bug, threw up all over the place last night. She already feels better now. We're just enjoying a nice Barbie movie right now.
I got a polar pop this morning. They only cost 75 cents, but that's part of my laundry money and I know I shouldn't, but I need one (want one).
This blog is boring, because I really don't do much anymore these days. Life stinks a little.
Oh, Tim and I watched "Wanted" last night, I didn't finish it because I chose sleep instead. It was an online movie, so it took a long time to buffer. That's so lame. I would like to go out and get a few movies, but I don't have the money for it now.
Anywho, that's about it for now. :)

Puppy Pictures :)

Here is my pup, Abraham Lincoln (Pugh). Enjoy...he's shedding right now so I'm not enjoying too much. We're training him to not get on the furniture now, but this is when he did. He's usually pretty good, just chews on things and the occasional accident. We got this big puppy in November, and he was about 4 months old then, so he's about 7 months now. He's funny, really and super lazy, which we enjoy immensely.

Graduation/Job Searching

It's official!! I graduated Berea College with a Bachelor of Arts in Physical Education, minor in Dance. That's pretty exciting, but now I need a good job. The only thing is that I can't really find that good of one right now, because Tim and I will be moving in May, so what would be the point? Currently, all I can find as far a work goes is Taco Bell. It's a job, so I'll take it, for now. I'm not getting many hours there, and I really suck at it so I'm not sure why they hired me (mostly because I get ten hours a week).
I'll be getting married in 11 days. We're doing the courthouse destination wedding thing because we're both not all for attention but we will have a reception in May. I do like a good party. :)
Most of the days I lounge around the house and sleep. I have discovered that I am super good at sleeping. My dog keeps me company all day long though, so I am not completely lonely. He's a little brat. He chews EVERYTHING. At first we let him do a lot of things (not chewing), but like getting on the furniture and stuff, but since the other day and his lets-throw-up-and-pee on the couch episode, no more furniture. I discovered today that it's really inconvenient for me because when he's on the bed or couch, I know what he's doing. Now, I just frantically look around and search for him and whatever his chew toy victim may be.
Oh, I tried the roommate thing while living in this house (besides my roommate downstairs whom I never see) and it didn't work out too well. She was nice, but she brought bugs and a second dog in the house and that didn't fly with the owner. She made me kick her out, which was one of the hardest things I have had to do. I felt absolutely lousy after that. As I should.
Speaking of bugs, so the roommate downstairs suggested we get the house sprayed, and I was all for it, turns out her dad did it and she came upstairs with him. I think she did just to check out the cleanliness of my portion of the house, that hurts my feelings...I am the cleanest person I know. She reported back things I had in my room to the owner, who I used to consider my best friend (I had a wedding dress given to me by another friend and she knew about it, along with the other dog in the back room--that night I was forced to kick the other girl out and Lord knows what else). I felt totally betrayed and have decided to put my efforts of friendship into other people.
Oh, and a random thought, I had a dream today, and I was eating a cookie in this dream. I woke up craving that cookie. We have none in the house so I settled for chocolate.
