So much has been going on over this past year. I'm finally a graduate...2 years of blood, sweat and tears has paid off! I have a REAL job and am really liking it so far. We moved to IL and really don't like it all that much. I hate the traffic and the crazy drivers.

To top it all off, Dan and I will be celebrating our 2nd wedding anniversary. What a difficult year we have gone through with moving, jobs and just dealing with the day to day grind. He's such an amazing man and husband. I wouldn't want to be with anyone else.

Also, after a great conversation with my co-worker Sarah today, I really think that I might have a new passion in life. I have some research to do, but I'm very excited to start something new possibly. If I decided to go forward with my idea, it will take me on a very emotional journey, but it will rock if my story can help others. Plus, we're going to start a knitting class in the fall...I'm so excited for that. Who wants a knitted blazer?!

Yea to new friends, a new life in IL and making new memories with my wonderful husband!

So much drama....

So, I got into a car accident about 6 weeks ago and my car still isn't completely fixed yet. They tell me that it should be ready tomorrow but I can't believe anything that these people say. NEVER go to Richard's Auto Body off of Lawrence in Chicago. They have crappy service and they'll take you for a ride, literally!! Pass the word on to all of your friends who may live in the area. I'll post more about it as I slowly start to sort things out and process my formal complaints against them and a rep from my insurance company! Ugh! I just want my freakin' car back. 4 rental cars in the past 6 weeks. I need my baby done so I can driver her into the ground. BTW, before summer, I bet we'll be getting a new vehicle. We're going to need a bigger car since we'll be starting a family soon. Yea!

Wedding Update

So, yesterday Dan and I went to my college roommate's wedding. It was a beautiful wedding and reception. There were LOTS of people there that I haven't seen in years and it was great. Dan got a little bored, well at least he didn't get pissed about the things that were brought up that I used to do. I think that it was too loud for him to hear. Also, saw an ex boyfriend of mine there...awkward! He is the cousin of the bride and until yesterday morning, I forgot about him. Oh well, I don't think that he saw me at all except for the pictures of me in the slideshow and the DVD that we received. We left pretty early due to a comment that was made that pissed Dan off. All in all, the night was pretty good.

I'm off to Wisconsin this morning for breakfast with my parent's since its FATHER'S DAY! :)

Jake is 6!!

I forgot to mention that my oldest nephew, Jake, turned 6 today! It seems like just yesterday that he was born. I'll never forget that day. I was so overjoyed and cried many times because I was so happy for my sis and bro.

What a totally different person that I was at that time. I was a college sophomore in a very unstable relationship. The boy who I was seeing always criticized me about my weight so the summer that my nephew was born, I starved myself. I look back on that now and realize that I was a very stupid girl. A man should accept you for who you are and my hub sure does for me. He loves who I am inside and out. He likes me curves!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JAKE!!!

First Blog

So, this is my very first blog. My co-worker, Julie, is big into blogging and I thought that I would give it a shot. I'm not sure what I'll actually blog about...but I have enough drama in my life to fill out many, many blogs.

I'll just start out with a little background on myself. I'm a happily married woman who is working at a beauty school as a student records associate. I've been working in this position for about 2 weeks now and am really liking it.

I'm married to a wonderful man who loves me very, very much! He's the most wonderful man in the world and treats me with the greatest of respect. Plus, he's super cute.

Up for the weekend we have a wedding in WI to attend. My former college roommate is getting married. She is such a wonderful person and I'm so happy for her. Her husband-to-be is a great guy. He treats her like a princess and loves her so much! I'll try to post some pictures later in the weekend.

Hope the weekend and this blog finds you well.
