One year Older

So its strange to think that I am at this point in my life where I am only four years away from 30. When I turned 25 I could dilude myself that I was still on the younger side and not quite there yet. However, getting ready to 26 has definitely gotten my mental processes going. I was talking to my sister in law Sharon yesterday and mentioned that all my friends are either getting married, married, or are having kids. I feel like the time when I was young and everyone else was in my same boat is now over, and I have reached a different period in my life. I am by no means comparing myself to others, but you know you are getting older when all your friends and people around you are starting to move on and do what is accepted according to their age. Craziness. Although I am getting older, I feel as if I should have more planned out. Although I am really carefree, I am also a planner. I need to know what is going on in my life. At this point, things are kind of up in the air, working a temp job and going to graduate school. I am working through it though, and realize that overall I have a great family, an amazing man in my life, and great friends. Life is good, just going by way to fast. Well enough rambling about me getting older, I just have to embrace life and live it to its fullest while I still have the opportunity. Wishing you all well.

Finally Movevd In.

So I got everything moved in. I don't care how little stuff you have left after throwing out all your old stuff. It is still a process to move everything out and get it all set up again. Lucky for me I have a strapping boyfriend and friends who helped out alot. Thank you to everyone who helped.
I am now set up in my new apartment which is very nice. I like it alot, and Sadie is getting used to it as well. Scott is complaining now though because I keep moving further and further away from him. I told him that when he proposed then I would be moving very close to him and then I am sure at times he would want me to live further away again. My roomate Frank is wonderful and although rarely there, its nice to know someone else is around.

Well back to work, and then schoolwork, working out, and then work again. LIFE IS STILL CRAZY!!

Final Preparations for the Move

So as I get ready to move, I have begun to realize I have way to much crap for my own good. How does one person acquire so much over a period of four years. I don't even have kids and yet I feel like I have so much stuff. I can't imagine what it will be like when I get married and have kids. It amazes me that even though I do not buy lots of things, I still manage to gain property. Its like it just magically appears in my house, and takes up space.

As I look at the pile of belongings in my foyer, I think to myself, how in the world is all this going to fit into my new place. I know from my experience moving that everything finds a place and it never is crowded, but homey. I just don't see it that way right now. Oh well, it will all work out.

I am excited to live someplace new, I just hope Sadie feels the same way. I think she is going to have to be in the crate for awhile until she can adjust, and until we can get things settled in. I may even ask her grandparents to watch her for a little bit. We will have to see.

Anyway, thats my blurb for the weekend. I will let you all know how the move went after the weekend.

Have a great One!

Moving

So I have always wondered why as a child we moved all the time, however, I think it has worn off on me as an adult. I know that some circumstances are related to life changes, but really, I have three times, going on four times in the last year and a half, and at least 6 times within the last 3 years. Craziness.

Anyway, I am moving again. I am moving in with my friend Frank, who is going to charge me way less than what I am paying now, and I will be living in a luxury apartment complex, with all the amenities. Wonderful life. I am looking forward to actually living there, but then there is the process of packing up everything, selling my old furniture, and actually making the move. Along with everything else that I have going on in my life right now, such as two jobs, grad school, and work, I don't know where I am going to find the time for everything. It always seems to work out though. Lucky for me anyway. I am sure I will get it all done and be on top once again. Life is full of craziness and part of growing up is going with the flow and making better circumstances for yourself.

Well, that is my thoughts for the day. I will have to post new pics of my place, and I will be sending out updates to the family and friends as far as my new address.

Love you all!

Anniversary Weekend

Anniversary's are always something that I have considered to be something special. This last weekend, Scott and I celebrated our one year anniversary. First of all, I guess it is hard to believe that we have already been together for a year. Time has begun to go by so much faster. I wouldn't change a minute of this last year though. On Friday, Scott and I revisited where we first met, at Oktoberfest. It was much colder this year than last, and I had to bundle up to stay warm. We walked around and ate some very good fair-like food. Scott had a potato pancake reuben, and I had German mashed potatoes. We then ate some fair fries, loaded with vinegar and salt. (We both love them that way!) After freezing awhile more, I had some cider and then we decided to head to Brubaker's, where he invited me to come and join him and his friends to get to know me better. It was a blast and we had a really good time.
We both had things to do on Saturday, but we spent Sunday together. We were planning on going out to a nice place for dinner, but oops, I fell asleep and didn't wake up till around 8:00pm. Usually its Scott who is always sleeping. Guess I was just tired from my bowling league. Anyway, Scott went and picked up some pizza and wings and we sat in bed laughing and eating, enjoying a very special day. I never would have thought that pizza and wings over a nice dinner would have created a most memorable occasion, and yet that is exactly what happened. In the end, I guess it doesn't really matter what you do or where you do it, as long as it is with the person you care about most. I am lucky to have such an amazing man in my life. He is my soul mate, my best friend, and the love of my life. Thank you Scott! What a great weekend. I truly am blessed.

Bowling League

This weekend I started playing in a Church bowling league with my friend Kelly. I haven't bowled in awhile, but I had alot of fun. We had to bowl three games in a row, at the end of which my arm was tired. Who knew throwing a bowling ball could hurt an arm so much. LOL. Anyway, I had a blast and then we went and watched the Ohio State vs. Wisconsin game. I am really enjoying having some new fun friends to hang out with. I enjoy their company and we have tons of laughs, which is always good for the soul. Thank God for wonderful people. 

Weekends and the Unknown

Working for a temp agency can sometimes be a little scary. Not the fact that I am working for the agency itself, but the fact that you never really know when your next job is going to come up. I finished up my first long term job with the Akron Children's Hospital this last week and am going to be doing some short time work for a law firm in the area. After that though I don't know whether I am going to have work for the rest of the week or if I will have to wait again. It is somewhat frustrating, but I am trusting that everything will work out.

Weekends are always fun and relaxing for me. They usually start out with going out with friends and enjoying myself on Friday nights and then relaxing in bed on Saturday mornings.... well until Scott wants breakfast. Anyway, I usually do some light cleaning and then relax the rest of the day. I have been trying to be better and actually do some homework on the weekends as well, but sometimes it seems a little difficult to inspire myself. I am trying though and once I get the first project out of the way I am sure I will be more on board for doing the rest. Papers have always intimidated me.

Anyway, this weekend I made Biscuits and Gravy for Scott at his parents house, then we hung out and watched football all afternoon. I am actually learning alot about the sport and am enjoying it more now that I understand some of the concepts in it. I know that I have a long way to go in order to understand everything, but I feel that I am doing fairly well. Anyway, Scott made dinner tonight. Flank steak and Rice Pilaf. It was very delicious. He doesn't cook a whole lot but what he does cook is wonderful. I am lucky to have him. Anyway, I have mass, cleaning, and schoolwork on my schedule for tomorrow, but just wanted to update everyone on my weekend thus far. Life is good!
