This week...

So yesterday, I decided Tom and I needed a little bit of time away from the house and we hadn't had an "us day" in quite sometime... so I convinced him that we were going somewhere at about 11 yesterday morning.  We got ourselves ready- uploaded our new Fastrak (thanks Mom) got in the car and headed out.  I had a plan.  We stopped at the mall and picked up a few essentails to our life that we had been waiting for and then proceeded to go to our date.   

We got to San Fransisco (our destenation) and got lost.  We even had a GPS and everything!!!!  I am chatting with Thomas- trying to figure out where our next turn is... I see a bus to my right, turn right without stopping so I thought it was ok to go... um... no... not so much!  I was running a red light and slamming into someone.  :(  I ripped off my license plate and caused some damage to my front bumper- while the other guy just a scrape to his left end axel.  Everyone was ok... minus Little Red.  
My baby
The other guy's car

I was so upset- I was more worried about the guy and how he was going to react... but he was very cool- saying it added a little adventure into his boring life- and that it allowed him to spend less time at work.  

Thomas and I proceeded onto our date which included a family owned Italian Resturant and visiting Ocean Beach... It was well worth the drive- but I have now vowed to stay out of the city when I drive... haha!

The last few weeks have been great... with some trails and tribulations- but it is only making Thomas and I stronger.  I am so very thankful for my husband.  I can't believe we will be married for 6 months in March! Seems like just yesterday we were planning our wedding.  

Thomas is still looking for work- and my work is FINALLY picking up.  Lee is doing well- he had a great interview with Elderidge Fire Department last week.  It has been busy!  But I would rather be busy than be bored!!!!!

25 things you didn't know

I'll post Thomas' if he ever fills one out... 

If you get this, you're supposed to pass it on, only with new tidbits about yourself. Thanks for reading!

1. I am really not sure I can write 25 things about myself. And that makes me kinda sad, but also happy--- does that make sense??

2. I am probably the most simply complexed girl you will ever meet. I wear my emotions on my sleeve and most of the time you can read them pretty easily, but sometimes I don't even understand myself or my thoughts- so how can anyone else???

3. I love what I do as a job, but because I know it is not what I am going to be doing for the rest of my life, I really don't push myself to do it. I think this makes me sad too!!!

4. I love love love love love my husband. He is amazing. He is the best thing that has ever happened to me. I am such a better person because of him.

5. My family is the most important thing to me and they have done so much for me to get me to where I am today. I love them... all of them.

6. My definition of family is this... it doesn't have to be by blood- you are my family if you can love me unconditionally.

7. The music I listen to is a reflection of the mood I am in. 

8. I love cuddling with my husband more than anything else in the world. It manages to make all my bad moments during a day go aways!

9. I cannot wait to be a teacher. Even if I just affect one person's like by educating, I believe my life will have been fulfilled. 

10. I cannot wait to be a mother. I cannot wait to know the love my mom has been talking about for years!!! 

11. I have had my fair share of heartaches. And I am ok with it. I have learned, been scarred and become the person I am because of those heartaches. I am proud to wear the scars. And it never stops hurting.

12. I used to think I had the best friends, but I have learned that it takes someone special to be called a best friend. 

13. I have so much faith in our Lord and Savior. My life would be completely hopeless without them!

14. I will never be able to repay those who brought the Gospel into my life! I am so thankful and don't say it nearly enough.

15. My husband makes me laugh more than once a day and I love it! I love it that even when we are mad- we can look at each other and burst out laughing! Only with him!

16. I am conquering my fear of spiders- one spider at a time. I don't think I will ever get rid of the big ones though- they just give me the willys!!!

17. I love that my parents still call me Moe and Catfish. It always makes me happy to hear them call me that!

18. I can never seem to let things go. Once I think I have, it slowly creeps back into my mind and sits there and festers until it explodes!!! I need to learn how to let things go!

19. I love Tigger. At 25, I still have multiple stuffed Tiggers and a ringtone just for Tigger... what can I say- I'm a kid at heart!

20. I love speaking French, hearing French and listening to French music. It takes me to a very peaceful place in my mind and I grin a very big grin! 

21. I could eat cheese everyday- all day- almost any kind... except Bleu. I draw the line there!

22. I have a problem letting people down. I believe I get this from my father- but it is tough for me to tell people I can't do something, so I figure out a way to do it or avoid the situation completely... horrible I know.

23. I don't like watermelon. I think it is too sweet or something but the taste, smell or sight of it- literally makes me sick.

24. I hate- with a passion- mornings. I could stay up all night- every night if I didn't have to get up in the morning. I need a night job.

25. I love to pop pimples. (I figured this was 25 so I needed to make it a "juicy" one) I believe I got this from my mom- but I just do. Plain and Simple.
