No, your eyes aren’t fooling you on the subject name of this post.. BRAD AND I ARE MOVING!

I shall try to sum this up as short as I can but I tend to ramble and it gets a “mile” long haha. OKIE. Wednesday afternoon, Brad had just gotten home and I was about to start cleaning the animal cages when his Mommy called and he looked at me while he was on the phone with her and quietly said, “Go get dressed” And I’m thinking wtf??? Yenno? I go get dressed and when he gets off the phone with her, he says that she had found an apartment duplex for us to look at and she was already there and for us to come see it! So we rush to get ready to go and head off to Red Bay. I was thinking eh.. apartment duplex, ew.

Meet up with Brad’s Mom and the renter. Apparently, the other apartment belongs to the owners and they live in Wisconsin and only stay in that apartment when they come down to visit family and whatnot. OMG, HOW AWESOME IS THAT?! The duplex itself looks pretty new. Soo we checked it out inside and Brad’s Mom asked us what we thought of it. We both LOVED it. Told her we wanted it!!!! The windows are black and nice / new looking. It has 2 (nice sized) bedrooms, 1 bathroom, ALL TILE FLOOR!! A huuuge air conditioner unit in the living room, wall heaters, A BRAND NEW STOVE (since the mexicans that lived there previously had the other stove so filthy + nasty they just HAD to buy a new one, ewwww) OMG each bedroom has a HUGE closet that actually have DOORS to them instead of the regular sliding doors or sometimes closets don’t have doors or anything. Have a place in the kitchen for washer and dryer hook up when we get one. LOTS OF CABINETS AND DRAWERS IN THE KITCHEN, WOOT!! Has a door in the kitchen that opens up to our PANTRY! We also have a little coat closet! There’s a doorway that leads towards the bedrooms and that doorway has a sliding door that closes! I thought that was really, really nifty. The bathroom also has a little mini wall heater in it! 😀

Sooo Wednesday evening, Brad’s Mom calls the renter and tells her we WANT IT. There was already another guy wanting to buy it ASAP but haha! He didn’t show up Wednesday to look at it and we got it first! WOO. My MIL (Brad’s Mom, course) said she’d pay our first months rent and the deposit! I was like.. wow, wow, wow. Thursday morning, she went and paid him the money then she went out and bought little things for me and Brad for the place! OMG HOW SWEET IS SHE?! She got us a doormat for outside our front door, a new mop bucket, cleaning supplies, A LITTLE BAR type table for our kitchen, (since we don’t have much room in there for a bigger table) um some rubber gloves for when i clean, a scrubber/sponge type thing, a clothes hamper for our bathroom!!!! I don’t even know how to say how grateful I am to her. So then, I was thinking about how we would get our power and water turned on and she said if we’ll pay the power, she’ll pay to have the water turned on! She went Thursday afternoon, paid the deposit and yesterday evening (well, earlier tonight) when we went back over to the apartment, THE WATER WAS ALREADY ON!!! OMG! Brad is gonna go and pay the power this afternoon right after he gets off work SO HOPEFULLY our power will be turned on TODAY AS WELL! OMG OMG OMG. I’m gonna go over to the apartment when Brad gets home and I’m gonna CLEAN CLEAN CLEAN that place EXTRA GOOD. Saturday we start MOVING! My Mommy has already said that I CAN HAVE MY BED!!!!!!!! YOU DO NOT KNOW HOW HAPPY THIS MAKES ME! We’ll have a bed UP OFF THE FLOOR AND A VERY, VERY COMFY ONE! We’ll go and get the bed Saturday probably and then go from there! Start moving things from here @ the trailor to the apartment! We need to ORDER DSL!!! So when we get that in, we can call and cut off our POS dial-up, HAHA GOODBYE DIAL UP! Also need to get a new phone number, call all the companies and tell them our new address and SO many other things!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This whole thing still HASN’T completely sunk into my brain just yet. WE’RE MOVING INTO AN AWESOME COZY APARTMENT?! MOVING THIS WEEKEND?! Just utterly amazing. This came out of NOWHERE.. and it’s all thanks to Brad’s Mommy for searching, searching and searching for places for rent for us for the past almost 2 months. She told us she’d have us out of this trailor and into another place before Christmas and BOOM, we are indeed moving! I CANNOT FRIGGIN WAIT. I cannot wait to live in a nice looking apartment with a new stove, COMFY BED, an ACTUAL WORKING KITCHEN SINK to where I can WASH MY DISHES THERE and not in the BATHROOM sink like i’ve had to do for the past year, big closets to hang all of our clothes and things in. We have a nice little front yard with a few little trees and the backyard is a good size with more trees and we get an EXCELLENT view of the sky!! Best of all, we live right behind Fred’s dollar store.. we can walk there! I’m thinking of getting a job there and I COULD WALK to and from work!!! Also, there are no houses across from the duplex or on either side of us! One side of us is the railroad track that’s never used anymore and on the other is a little junkyard SO YAY, we can play our music still fairly loud and not have to worry about some nosey neighbor peeking around at us all the time. We’re gonna be living right down the road from Brad’s Grandparents (Mom’s side) and since we’ll live IN Red Bay, Brad will save money on gas since it’ll only take him like literally a few MINUTES to get to work instead of 15-20. He can also sleep a wee bit later in the mornings instead of having to get up at 4:30-5AM every morning.

I can’t even tell you how much I am really, really, really looking forward to this. I’LL HAVE DSL AGAIN?! OMGGGGGGGGG. Can you tell I’m excited yet?! WOOT. And again, I’m stuck with the word WOW. WOW, WOW, WOW. I’m so happy. I can’t wait to get over there today and CLEAN! We’re gonna move all we can this weekend and that would be LOOOVELY IF! We could have everything moved by Monday.

YAY IT’S FRIDAY! Pay day and the start of the WEEKEND. I could say soooo much more about our apartment but I don’t wanna ramble too much, lol. I’ll share more and more eventually!!!

SO EXCITED!!!!! :grinny:

So. The weekend is now over! It was quite interesting and I did have a good time. 🙂

Friday! Brad and I loaded up that evening after he got off work and headed towards Gatlins. Once we arrive, we get to finally meet Gatlins Dad. Learn that his Dad bought him a new XBOX 360! (lucky…) I guess around 5PM, Brad and I load up with Gatlin and his Dad to head to the church for the rehearsal. We take the LOOOONG way there. Took over 30 minutes or so and that’s the long way. Arrive and meet new people. Very nice people!! Brad sits by himself and looks lonely. I go up with Megan, her other bridesmaid (and cousin) Lacey and everyone else gets where their supposed to be. We run through the ceremony one time and everyone seems to know what their doing so we don’t feel the need to go through it again. The next 10 minutes are spent with Megan, her Mom, Grandma, Lacey and another lady trying to give me directions to the church, LOL. I was kindof confused at first coz of that many people giving me directions but I GOT IT!!! :grinny: Brad still looks bored… and I finally go and sit with him and eventually everyone else sits for a bit then we all decided to leave to go eat at Pickel Barrel and their paying for allllll the food, YAY!

Leave out and drive, drive, drive. Finally get to Pickle Barrel and it looks PACKED. Once we get out and venture towards the entrance door, Gatlins Mom informs us that our room is still occupied by other people and that they hadn’t been in there long. BOO! Everyone stands around outside… me and a few others run up to the front and sit in the rocking chairs. Sit and sit some moooore. WAITING. Finally! They say that the room is ready! We go in and aww, it’s all decorated. Lovely. At one of the tables is bride, groom, grooms men and brides maids. My poor baby had to sit at another table with the grown ups. I see 4-5 people I knew from High School. HAA! Lacey and I have a good laugh about that, too. I order pepsi as my drink. They bring the drinks and then later take all of our orders. Either fish or chicken. At first I wanted fish.. so I told them fish.
Somewhat-later, Gatlins Mom decides that It’s not fair that Brad doesn’t get to sit with us so she tells him to go sit with us and yay! He sits by me on the corner of the table (which, of course he complains about haha) and they eventually bring food. First the fish orders. I get mine. Then after a little thinking, I didn’t want the fish anymore. Reminded me of back in June, when I ate that fish and got sick.. I don’t think It was the fish BUT STILL. I tell Brad he can HAVE the fish and he had gotten the chicken so we decide to trade. YES! They finally bring out the chicken plates. MMM, chicken. Pretty good overall. LOVED THE ROLLS. The fries weren’t bad either!!! After eating that, we had some kindof cake for dessert. We all had a dirty joke about the “white creme” and the “black creme”. Lacey laughed and laughed until her chest hurt. Haha. Good times. Later we joked about it again. Lacey laughed just as hard, again. :tongue: Talked and talked and well, talked some more. At that point, we all noticed It was after 9PM. Brad made an “uggh” noise.

We all get ready to leave and wait for everyone to gather up. There are deer hanging on the wall and Megan and I make conversation about how a kid might ask his/her parent about why there is a deer hanging on the wall and why only It’s head is showing. Amusing!! Wait for Brad to get out of the restroom then we head to car. Drive alllll the way back to Gatlins to get my dress. Brad and Gatlin joke around for a bit then 2 of Gatlins friends show up (Tony & Daniel? I think) and are looking for Gatlins LAN cable but find the XBOX cable instead. The 2 guys get to fooling around and then Daniel gives Tony a WEDGIE FROM HELL. The kind where he pulled his tighty whities UP AND OVER his head HAHAHAH. Oh man. It was hilarious. GATLINS MOM TOOK PICTURES!!!!! HAHAHA. Poor Tony. Gatlins Mom mentioned to me that she will miss stuff like that.. kids joking around all the time. They leave and Gatlin sits down to play his music on his XBOX 360. I signal to Brad that It’s time to goooo so we tell Gatlin byebye and leave. We make a stop by Wal-Mart to see If they have the new ALIEN ANT FARM CD and WHADDYA KNOW! THEY DID!!!!!!!!!!!!! YAYAYAY. Brad got POTC2 soundtrack as well. We both get a drink and venture back home coz we needed to go to bed seeing as they told me to be up @ the church at 10AM!

We get some ZzZz’s and I wake up a few different times between 7-8AM and eventually roll over and see Brad looking at me, lol. We should have just gotten up and went ahead RIGHT THEN and got ready but we had some action 😉 THEN got ready later than planned but It was all good!!! 😉 Hehe. We left about 10 minutes after 9AM and started out to the chuuuurch! We go down a LOOOONG road and Brad is worried we’re lost. He kept asking, “are you sure this is the right road?” YES Brad I’m sure! And It was. We eventually come out to the highway and have to cross over to the street that the church is on. Get to the church RIGHT ON TIME. Hooooyeah! 😎 Haha. We see no one.. yet. There is a older lady (not sure who she is as far as relation) but she tells us to go see the reception room, that it is really pretty. We venture back there and WOW, It really IS BEAUTIFUL. Set up sooooo nicely. Tables with one rose in a vase on each of them. Baby pictures of Gatlin and Megan set up at the front. Megan’s cake is GORGEOUS. Gatlins cake is CUTE! (It was a GIANT nintendo controller since he’s a mad gamer haha) All the leaves and flowers are REAL. I was really in awe. Lacey arrives! Eventually Brad heads to go be seated in the church. More people arrive. Lacey and I help carry in food from a van. The lady who was coming to take pictures was gonna be there at noon so they wanted to have us ready ready ready before then.

One lady starts on Megan’s hair then another starts on MY hair. Ohhhh boy. She realizes what THICK hair I have, lol. The style for Lacey and I was to pull is up and then curl the hair that was left down. Curling my hair is quite simple but still a task. A few people take turns curling it, lol. Once my hair is finished then onto Lacey! The woman that did my hair and her daughter go into the other bathroom to help me pull off my shirt over my head so I won’t mess up my hair. I get my dress on BUT IT’S BACKWARDS haha so I get it turned around and on right. Fix it all up.. Megan’s hair was pretty nice. Her hair is to the top of her shoulders so all they did was make 2 little braids on the front then pull those 2 braids back and then flip the bottom of her hair. Lacey and I both got green ribbons that tied in a bow on our heads. It was cute! Megan gets her dress on.. IT’S PRETTY!!! She gets all dressed. Lacey and I put on makeup and get that all done. Once we’re all dressed up.. all 3 of us, we come out and admire the food. One of Megans relatives DID ALL THE FOOD (pretty much) ALL HOMEMADE!!! We tried a few things.. DELICIOUS. We wait and wait and then VOILA they want us for pictures! Take pictures.. sit around some more. TAKES LOTS AND LOTS AND LOTS of MORE pictures. We take pictures outside the church, inside the church, everywhere! Brad comes back in the church and looks lonely again, lol. Then It was getting closer to WEDDING TIME!

We all go and line up outside in front of the church and wait. (again) People start to go in then It’s my turn!!! I walk down the aisle and go stand in my place. Lacey does the same. Then the BIG MOMENT! DUN DUN DUN DUN! Megan and her Dad walk down the aisle together. Pictures are snapped. They make it to the front. Eventually get to the part where the man doing the ceremony asks, “Who gives this woman to this man” and then her Father said, “Her Mother and I do” and he hugged Megan (awwww) and gave her hand to Gatlin. Next thing ya know, their HUSBAND AND WIFE! Yaaay! Everyone is happy happy. I walk back down the aisle with one of the grooms men and then once outside, I congratulate the NEWLYWEDS! The next few hours were spent eating and talking and talking more in the reception room. Got to see a lot of my friends from High School! Brought much happiness to me! Towards the end, Gatlin made a sweet, heart touching toast that made me smile super big and almost cry. We all go outside and Gatlin takes off Megans garter and throws it, one of Gatlins friends catches it!!! Megan throws her bouquet and 3 girls grab for it but Victoria (girl I knew from HS) caught it for the most part! Gatlin and Megan were about to leave after that so everyone lined up with their little vile of BUBBLES and blew bubbles at them as they went towards Gatlins car and then they drove away!

Ookaay. They were gone. I went and changed, got my stuff and said bye to Lacey. Lacey and her husband left… Gatlins friends were playing on the playground right beside the church and we were just kindof standing there. We were both tired but both wanted to go somewhere but.. there was no where to really go! 🙁 Course that day was our 3 YEAR ANNIVERSARY but Brad was super super super tired that he could hardly drive us back home. We made It back home and I was really down and sad that we weren’t doing anything for our 3 YEAR anniversary. Brad came home and played his Gameboy SP. I didn’t have anything to do so I went to sleep in the bedroom. Brad joined me after a while and then eventually, I got too hot so I came in the living room and went to sleep on the couch. Brad got up about 9PM, I guess and I eventually woke up after 10PM. I was still highly disappointed that we didn’t do anything for our anniversary. Brad tried to cheer me up but It didn’t really work…. at all. We stayed up until about 4AM.

Finally went to sleep and woke up after 1PM Sunday. We needed to shopping but sat around too late and decided to go to Brad’s Moms house with our clothes to wash. Loaded up and got to her housie. Talked and sat around. Eventually, Brad and I decided to do our main grocery shopping Monday (today) and just go buy a few things at a store in town that we needed for Monday breakfast and lunch. Did that and came back. Eventually ate supper with them. It was goooood good good. Talked and sat around some more. Watched The 4400 @ 8PM and then The Deadzone @ 9PM. Loaded up our clothes and other things we had and drove on home. It’s nice outside tonight.. finally back down to the 60’s instead of like 80!!! at night like it has been. SHEW.

Now here I am. Wow, It’s 2AM?! Geeze. Didn’t realize It was that late. I’m tired! I know this entry was long but I figured I’d post about my whole weekend to look back on. Mmmkay. I’m gonna post this, check out some pictures then head onto bed. Nite nite!!!!! :) 

I attempted to type this entry yesterday but my computer decided to freeze up on me when I had almost the ENTIRE entry typed up and It was a good one too. Figures, huh? GRR. After that happened, I didn’t want to even attempt to type it again.

I officially don’t like WordPress pages. :yell: Why? COZ THEIR A PAIN IN THE ASS. I’ve been attempting to convert my content pages into WP-pages and It’s just complicated! I like my regular HTML coding and this just wants to be plain and simple and either NO spaces or a BIG space between main paragraphs, yenno? AND I DON’T WANT BIG SPACES! It’s really, really, really irritating to me. I’m thinking I’ll either leave my content pages where they are OR I may fight with the WP-pages some more at some point and time.

This week has been fairly alright. Had a few days where Brad was pretty upset over work. Then he realized he shouldn’t even be complaining and that It was childish of him. Things tend to seem really rough sometimes to the point where you look around and think things won’t get any better but they do. It was so sweet… the day Brad got really upset, we brought up the only thing to shed some goodness upon our hearts: our love. He told me he’s so lucky to have me. He says the best part of his day is to come in the door in the afternoon from work and see me sitting here smiling at him. 🙂 AWww. He’s such a sweetheart. We shed some happy, happy tears and big hugs.

Well, I’ve finally got most of my modivation and energy back. Wednesday I cleaned and cleaned and cleaned. Cleaned up the kitchen, the bathroom a little, all the animal cages and the living room then gave Dax a bath and scrubbed the kitchen floor where it needed cleaning the most. Shew. Was nice to get all that done!!! I tell ya, paying the bills and keeping your place clean are 2 things that can be really hard from time to time. :yuck:

Eee! My best friend Megan is getting MARRIED tomorrow! And yes, I am one of her bridesmaids!!! Heh. I’m excited for her and Gatlin. Their really lucky.. they are actually gonna have a honeymoon (we didn’t coz we’re broke people) and then they’ll come home to their new apartment and new life together!! Anyhow, this afternoon (Friday) is the rehearsal at 6PM then afterwards is the rehearsal dinner! 🙂 Yay! Maybe after all that we’ll go to Tupelo.. or maybe not. Not sure. Then Saturday @ 2PM is the wedding!!! I’m excited about it. I love weddings. Even though mine wasn’t like the big and fancy weddings — It was still one of those moments I will never forget. If you look back on all of our wedding pictures, Brad is smiling in EVERY ONE of them. Mom said she loved how when Brad was waiting to see me walk down the aisle.. he looked so lost but the minute he saw me, his whole face lit up as If he had found his way. That makes me almost want to cry. I love my Bradley.

SPEAKING OF TOMORROW!!!!! Guess what IT IS?!… Our 3 YEAR ANNIVERSARY! Aww. I cannot wait. 3 WHOLE YEARS?! I’m so so so so so excited. :grinny: 3 years ago, we hardly even knew each other. We had only seen each other once in person and then a few days later, he asked me out… and my life changed forever. My dream finally came true. All those years of wanting to find someone to give my heart to finally happened. I just knew he was right for me… I just knew. It was in the way he looked at me, the way he respected my opinions and actually listened to waht I had to say and still does to this day. HE’S ROMANTIC AND HE’S TALL!!!! Those are 2 things I’ve always looked for in a guy. Oh, and for him to be humorous!!! Brad is definetly all of those and many, many, many more.

3 years. I think about that and I feel my eyes water up. I cannot wait to spend 3 MORE years with my lover. *sigh* It’s almost 6:30AM and I’m really sleepy.. didn’t sleep good AGAIN because It was soooo flippin’ hot in our bedroom BUT! It feels ULTRA GOOD and COOL in our living room right now so I’m gonna get my pillow and blankie and lay on the couch and get some niiiice COOL sleep. :sleep:

Alien Ant Farm’s new CD CAME OUT TUESDAY and I wanted to get it SO BADLY that day but none of the stupid Wal-Mart’s around here HAD IT and It was too late in the evening for us to go to the mall to get it so BOO! I’m hopefully gonna get it TONIGHT or Saturday! Yay! I can’t wait. I’ll post sometime before the weekend is over to let you guys know how everything went!!!!!!!! Have a great weekend!!! :)   

I felt okay for the majority of Sunday. I actually woke up really early! Well.. early for the weekend. I woke up around 7-8AM and couldn’t go back to sleep (and I had trouble getting to sleep TOO) so I finally got up and ate the rest of my Hardee’s chicken sandwich from Saturday night and then got sleepy so I layed down on the couch and went to sleep.

Kept waking up every now and then and eventually I woke up for good around 12-1PM. Brad was up by then sitting on our other couch, reading his book when I finally woke up. We were kindof not talking to each other at first Saturday. Why? Well, I’m pretty close to be called a “neat freak” and when I want things picked up.. I’d like for them to be picked up THEN and not 2 hours later or a day later, right then! Brad has a tendency to say, “I will LATER!” and then get huffy with me for just wanting him to help me get OUR PLACE tidy!

SOOO. We got ready today to go to Wally World to do our usual weekend grocery shopping and we weren’t talking. We didn’t talk the whole way there and he didn’t have the radio or any music on. I was pretty sleepy on the way. Once we got in Wal-Mart and started our shopping, that’s when we finally resolved it. He said that It seems he can never keep me happy and I told him If he’d just TRY to help me keep the place tidy and pick up things then things would be a lot better. It just DRIVES ME INSANE (literally) when things are left laying around. I got that trait from my (Grand)”Mom”. She is the EXACT same way. We finally were talking and shopping.. he said he’ll really try harder. It’s just becoming a really bad problem for me. Like, when he’s done with his dinner and we eat in the living room. Where do dishes live? THE SINK. Where does he put them? ON THE FLOOR!!!! Then he says he gets tired of me asking him over and over again to put up this, put away that and I told him I would LOVE to NOT ask him! If he would just DO IT right then and get it over with It would be SO MUCH EASIER on BOTH of us. Again, he said he will try harder. I surely hope so.. for the both of us. To him, It sounds “silly” because I get so crazy about things laying around and not being put back where they belong but that is just WHO I AM. I don’t see It changing anytime soon… in fact, never. Sigh. Sometimes, with Brad I feel like I’m raising a child instead of having a husband. And yenno, the sad truth about it is — It’s kindof true. His Mom always waited on him hand and foot. Picked up his dishes for him, his socks, his clothes, cleaned his room for him. Did this, did that for him. WELLLLLL, guess what?! I’m NOT YOUR MOMMA. I have told him that over and over and over until I feel almost blue in the face.

He just really needs to realize that I’m NOT gonna do those things for him and that It WOULD NOT hurt him to put his dirty clothes in the BASKET, dirty dishes in the SINK, trash in the TRASH CAN, clean clothes put away in the DRAWERS. I clean the house, I take care of the cleaning of the whole house and I take care of 13 (inside) animals. It’s not an easy job, at all. Then he’s gonna get HUFFY with me just coz I ask him to put away his dirty socks in the BASKET?! I think NOT. *sigh sigh* This is my major issue with Brad.. I’m hoping he will definetly work on it. That’s all I ask. Because It really DOES bother me. And he told me today that he was gonna turn into a “neat freak” like me. I’m not exactly a “neat freak“.. Yes I like things tidy but not SPOTLESS. Hell, right now, our kitchen floor isn’t the cleanest and yenno, that’s alright. I’m not gonna (almost) kill myself trying to do a million billion cleaning chores at once. I have before though.. stayed up all night (literally) cleaning every room in the entire house. That was rough.

Just needed to vent that out. I’m actually pretty tired right now. I think I’m gonna head to bed soon here. I actually wanted to get some stuff done on the site but now, I don’t know. It’s Monday.. Brad has to get up and go to work earlier than usual since he has an extra motorhome to work on. 
Speaking of work and all, I tried talking to Brad about him going to college. Whether It be going to the actual campus or an online type deal or even the type where they SEND you the material and you complete it at home. He told him he knows he wouldn’t do good.. he’s never done good in school. In High School, he would NEVER do his homework, never studied and did horribly. He said he’d probably do the same thing in college. He also mentioned that he KNOWS he could NEVER go to work and then college. Apparently, he’s not that type of person. I was just trying to help him.. and then he said, “Nope, I’m doomed.” :blank: *sigh* As for me, I just don’t know what I want to do as far as college. Like, what I would want to be and plus we live in a little bitty town and what would I do in a little town like that even with college? There’s only a few small jobs and then factory jobs. THAT’S it.

I’m thinking I’ll either work at one of the small stores for a bit (dollar store? fred’s? maybe CVS?) and then maybe after a while see about another job… OR I may go for a home-based job like Brad’s Mom does. She gets about $600 every 2 weeks. Not too bad. Any extra money for us would HELP WONDERS. Plus, Brad was saying that the job he works now is the best paying job in our little bitty town and It has EXCELLENT health + dental insurance and he probably couldn’t get insurance like that on just any other job. He just complains that he’ll be there “for the next 50 years”.. :yell: Maybe a few years down the road he’ll realize he does want to take a shot at some sort of college? Who knows.

Alright.. enough ranting and venting for me. It’s almost 2AM and my digital camera wouldn’t connect to my computer so those pictures and new cam pic I was gonna upload are just gonna have to wait!!! 
Some actual GOOD NEWS! (yay!) Brad’s Mom is helping us look for a house (of course) and she said that she definetly will help us get moved to a (whichever new) house BEFORE CHRISTMAS! HELL YES! I’m so stoked. A HOUSE?! Woot. WE’LL ACTUALLY BE ABLE TO HAVE DSL?! YES! :grinny: I can’t can’t can’t wait!!!!! 😀 Now, our job the next few months is to find a DECENT HOUSE. House hunting is definetly not easy. ARGH. And it’s so frustrating. Espically for me. We’ll eventually find a decent one though, somehow.

Gonna post this and get ready for bed! Nite niteeee. :sleep:    

*sigh* Today has just not really been my day.. I just don’t feel good at all but I really haven’t felt all that great for a while. Really sucks.

So today, Brad and I went out with his Mom, Stepdad and 2/3 of his sisters to look at a house. It was okay… had a really big backyard and 2 apple trees but the house itself is pretty old. And definetly smells old personish. Doesn’t have a carport or garage either. The bathroom doesn’t have a shower, not that one can’t be installed but still. Once we left that house, we went looking at others. Looked at a trailor (EW I don’t wanna live in ANOTHER trailor) but Brad’s Mom said the person she talked to told her that It has been remodeled inside and It’s bigger than our trailor BUT it doesn’t have a carport or garage EITHER and the backyard is kindof small and the trailor itself is set more back in the woods. Saw a few others houses for sale… there was one out on one of the main highways that is a pretty decent size and has A 2 CAR GARAGE and then another seperate garage. Has a little light by the mailbox, long driveway, big front yard BUT Brad’s Mom talked to the owner and they said It needed some work sooo we’ll just have to see what kindof work exactly that it needs. ARGH. I just want a decent little house.. that’s all. SO the house search continues.

After house looking, Brad wanted us to go out to a few different places since he just wanted to get out. I totally didn’t feel like going so he got all huffy. Luckily, his Stepdad needed to go out anyway so they left around 5PM and Brad should be back home anytime now. I’ve really been a wreck today though.. so moody. I cried for really no reason for quite a while after Brad left. I didn’t wanna talk or really see anyone. I went and layed down in the bedroom and went to sleep until the phone rang. Got up to see who It was but went back to the bedroom and to sleep again. Daxter WOULD NOT shut up barking!!!! I had the bedroom door closed but I could still hear him so I turned on the radio in there and went back to sleep.

Anyhow, as you can see NEW LAYOUT! I really like it. It’s not really THAT great but It works for me. Needed something new. Loved my penguin layout but I LOVE Alien Ant Farm (Dryden is HOT HOT HOT :love: ) and I CANNOT WAIT until their new album comes out! I must must must haaave it. :grinny: I’ve still got a lot to work on-on this layout. I wanna turn some of my content into WP-pages but I just haven’t gotten to it and some of the content pages are just SO LONG that I’ll just leave those pop-ups since I don’t want my main page to be soooo long. If that makes any sense. *shrug*

I guess that’s all for now. I actually don’t feel like typing up an extremely long blog for once, lol. Later guys. 

Brad didn’t get home from our friends house until almost 2AM Sunday? I think. I was glad to see him again!!!! :grinny:

Sunday, Brad called his Mom and asked If she would take us to Russelville to go to Wal-Mart so we could buy our groceries. Brad didn’t really know the way out there soooo yeah. His Mom said yes and Brad’s Stepdad and 3 sisters came as well! It was pretty cool. We looked around for a good long while and I was kindof tired just wanting to get our shopping done and go home. We shopped and shopped.. bought our groceries. After we were all done and left from there, Brad’s Mom took us back to our house to put away our groceries. Once done with that, we all headed back to Brad’s Moms house and we ate din-din with them! 🙂 We had mashed potatoes, corn, garlic bread, chicken fingers and some YUMMY honey mustard homemade sauce!!! Brad’s Stepdad goes to AA meetings every Sunday and he was telling his story that night and Brad’s Mom wanted to go so she asked us to watch the girls from 7:30-9:10PM or so — so we said sure since we were staying over to watch The 4400 and The Deadzone anyhow. Sooo they left and before the 4400 came on, we were watching 50 First Dates on TV and OMG, that is such a cuuuute movie!!! I love Adam Sandler. Kindof sad as well. Brad’s 9 year old sister Leah stayed in the living room and watched 4400 with us while Brad’s 10 year old sister Laura and 4 year old sister Lindsey went in their room and watched TV in there. We actually got some peace and quiet so we could watch our shows! YAY. 😎 They keep it nice and COLD in their house too. Brad’s Mom and Stepdad arrived home a little after 9PM. Watched The Deadzone and then at 10PM, Brad was EAGER to get home coz he had bought The Sims 2 for PS2 and wanted to try it out.

We headed on home and Brad stayed up until midnight then attempted to go to sleep but couldn’t. He got back up and played more Sims 2 and then eventually It was already like 2AM.. then 3AM and then around 4AM, he said he was gonna take a nap on the couch and to wake him up at 4:30AM. Uggggh, I was SO SLEEPY since I had been up all night as well. I was reaaady to sleeeeep. I woke him up at 4:30AM and then he got stuff ready for work then a little after 5AM, he said he was gonna take another nap and to wake him up at 5:30AM.. well he woke back up himself and finished getting ready then headed off to work. I FINALLY got some MUCH needed sleep! :sleep: It was so so so nice. Then there was Monday. Brad didn’t get home until almost 4PM since he had to work over a little then went to his Moms house to pick up our clothes. He came home and played more Sims 2 and eventually went to bed around 9:30PM. Anddddd Tuesday! I went back to sleep after Brad left for work and then woke up around 10AM but went back to sleep until 12:30PM and finally got up and took care of Dax and Trev and watched Days of Our Lives since I hadn’t in a long while. Ate my lunch, checked the mail and relaxed. I sat around after Days went off until 2PM and I needed to wash dishes and clean up a bit but I was SO TIRED. Just did NOT want to do anything so I layed back down on the couch and went to sleep but the DAMN FLIES in the house kept landing on my face and waking me up. After 3PM, Brad’s cousin James stopped by to ask If Brad had finished making him his hemp necklace but I told him I wasn’t sure so he left and said he’d come back later. Brad finally arrived home at almost 4PM. Told him about James and we wound up watching Sweet November together! :love: Love that movie. James came back over half-way through the movie and got his necklace. Finished the movie and then we started din-din. We bought GARLIC SHRIMP PASTA STYLE, OMG! We cooked that and cresent rolls and TALK ABOUT YUMMY!!!!!!!!! Watched Last Comic Standing and then we watched Law & Order: SVU. Brad still wasn’t that sleepy.. so he ate some popsicles while I washed the dishes.

Once I was done with the dishes, he said he was bout ready for bed but we had a little action 😉 and haha I know that wore him out! Mwahah. He just went offically to bed at like 11:30PM. 😀 I needed to clean the animal cages and straighten up the living room and vacum the floors and yadda yadda but I’m give out and kindof tired. I figure I’ll clean tomorrow probably before Brad gets home. ALREADY WEDNESDAY?! Holy wow. This week is really flying by! I’m glad. I’m READY for the weekend! Maybe we can GO TO THE BEACH! That would rock my socks. Big time. I’ve just been so tired lately. Ugh.

Well, I do believe I have some yummy things in the kitchen to snack on and then I think around or a little after 1AM, I’m gonna go onto bed. I can’t stop listening to Angels & Airwaves!!!! I’m about to put in my Three Days Grace CD though. OH OH OH OH OH! I CANNOT WAIT UNTIL JULY 18TH! Alien Ant Farms NEW CD COMES OUT! HELLLLL YES.

Heh. Okie, I’m out. Niteee lovies. :)  

Brad and I left Thursday afternoon and went to spend the night with Mommy!!! I know she was super happy to see us again! Of course we brought Daxter with us and she loves that pup. 🙂 I showed Mom my new Sunsilk shampoo and 24/7 creme and a few other things I had brought with me.

Eventually, Brad and I left to go to Wal-Mart to get a few things and Mom had mentioned how she had wanted something for her hair that would give it body so we bought her the Sunsilk that will give your hair body and bounce!!! Heheee. It was Brad’s idea! He’s such a sweetheart. :love: He bought a few things and bought us a badminton set! I LOVE BADMINTON!!! :grinny: Came back home and he surprised Mom with the Sunsilk shampoo and conditioner. She was thrilled!!! I’m excited that now that WE have money, we can buy her things!!!

A bit later on, she made some tomatoe noodle soup that was delicious (as always) and some of her YUMMY YUMMY mashed potatoes. She wanted us to see the movie, Without a Paddle so we watched that and LMAO! Love it!!!! Love Matthew Lilard and Seth Green! 🙂 After that, Brad and I looked through movies to see what we wanted to watch next and Mom has almost EVERY old Disney movie coz she used to buy them for me when they would first come out. Next, we watched FERN GULLY!!!!! Heheh I love that movie and Brad had never seen It so yay!!! 😎 After that movie, Brad was getting sleepy so he went onto bed and Mom and I stayed up talking until after 4AM!! I love it.

I told her to wake us up around 10:30AM. Next morning.. she woke us up around that time and I layed there for a bit longer, not wanting to get up. I eventually did and my Uncle Dennis arrived to help Mom with a few things on the house. Brad and I gathered up our stuff and went home sometime in the early afternoon. We were gonna go somewhere with his Mom and Stepdad but they couldn’t go because they had no one to watch Brad’s 3 sisters soooo.. no go on that one. Brad was kindof disappointed, too. I told him we could go on our own but he didn’t want to. He was kindof huffy for a bit but after some lovin, a shower and watching Dateline on NBC, he said he wanted to go outside and play some badminton!

We got out there about 7:50PM and It was so much fun!!!!!!! We saw 2 bats flying around in the sky and a horsefly kept buzzing around us. Oh gosh, by the time we came in at around 8:40PM, I was sweating from head to toe but It was fun! We’ll definetly have to do that more often. SO, got ANOTHER shower (yay clean!) and then just before we had played badminton, I had fixed my hair all pretty and then afterwards, It was all sweaty and I attempted to fix it back haha but ah well. Atleast we burned some calories and had some good fun.

So here I am.. at home. Last night, my friends fiance (Gatlin) called and asked If Brad and I wanted to go with him and Megan to see POTC 2. I haven’t seen the 1st one so I didn’t want to see the 2nd until I saw the 1st so Gatlin said that If we come over early, I can watch the 1st over at his house. Brad and I went to sleep @ 1:30AM and he set the alarm for 9:30AM. My tummy was kindof hurting and a little crampy last night when I went to sleep and I still hurt a little when I woke up this morning and UGH, I just did not feel like doing ANYTHING this morning and I espically didn’t want to really walk a lot since my tummy was hurting. Brad went to Red Bay to get some cash out of the bank and I fell back to sleep on the couch and when he got back, I told him that I just did not want to go. Espically If they go other places after they see the movie, I don’t think I could walk around for too long. Sooo Brad left around 11AM and I slept until 2PM. When I woke up, the air was off? Apparently, while I was asleep the power had went off at some point. I turned on the air, took Dax outside and played with him on the floor for almost 30 minutes! Heh. He’s sleeping now. After that, I ate a chicken sandwich and now I’m sitting here typing this listening to Angels and Airwaves!! :grinny:

I’ll be glad when Brad gets home.. and gah, my left arm muscle hurts and Is really sore from playing badminton yesterday – it’s all good though. Okie day, I’m gonna go now and update a few things on the site and finish catching up to commenting on Xposure sites. I want a new layoooout!!! *pouts* Bah, one day lol.

Have a great (rest of the) weekend!!! 🙂 😀

HEY GUYS! 😀

Sorry I don’t post much anymore… I suppose I’m just not as modivated these days to post any entry a day like I used to? Maybe If I really get myself back into doing that. Maybe.

I’d like to say a HAPPY (late) 4TH OF JULY! :grinny: What did you guys do? Brad and I went with his Mom, Stepdad and 3 little sisters to his Brad’s Grandpa’s sisters house where a bunch of their side of the family were gathered up to sit and eat! The food was realllllllly good!!! 🙂 BUT! OMFG, talk about HOT HOT HOT in there. I was sitting in comfy chair but I was so hot, I thought I would surely stick or glue to that chair! UGH. Miserable. We finally headed out of there and went back to Brad’s Mom house to get some of our clothes and then we stopped by a gas station and bought us each a drink then headed on home.. I then finally decided to clean, clean, clean. Cleaned all the animal cages and the living room. Brad and I then took a COLD shower, which, was utterly, utterly lovely since we were both sweating.

Not too much been going on. Brad’s (of course) off from work this week so I’m happy he’s getting a vacation from work! OH OH OH. Brad and I DID go BACK to the bach Monday! Heheh. We had a BLAST together. Got lots of exercise, I know that much! OH and we saw a turtle poke it’s head out from the water, rofl!!! CUTE!!! :tongue: While we were out there, It actually started to cloud up and Brad said he wished It would rain because he’s never been out swimming and had It rain on him before. It didn’t pour but It did sprinkle!!! Heheee. We eventually headed back to shore and got out to try to dry off a little. So now I have a nice mid-tan that I looove. I bought some new shampoo for my hair.. the new Sunsilk and I used it (yesterday) and already, I can tell a difference in my hair! It’s kindof expensive but If it works, I’ll keep buying it! Anything to help my dead, split-end hair. I painted my toe nails! Their cute and a crimson red color!

Brad really got into making hemp jewelery a while back and Monday, we went to Wally World and I picked out charms and such and he said he’d make me a anklet! Well, (yesterday) he diiiiid!!! Heh. It’s super super super cute. I love anklets! :love:

I was thinking earlier yesterday about how much I love summer. I’ve been wearing NOTHING BUT my flip-flops and I LOVE LOVE it. Love summer because you can go out and get a tan and SWIM! Oh man and I love summer nights when you go out on our front porch and can hear all the crickets and buggies and go out and smell the fresh air. To me, there is nothing better than a breath of fresh air. Oh summer, how I love you! Haha. 🙂

Errm.. not much planned for the rest of the week. Hoping to go back to the beach, maybe even 2 more times? *shrug* I do know we’re going to see my MOMMY probably Thursday!!!!! We haven’t been to her house in quite a while.. like over a month? It’ll be pretty nice. I love her so! She said she’s gonna trim my hair for me and then braid it! (NOTE: she used to braid my hair pretty much EVERY morning when I was younger) I wanted to get her to braid it again and it’ll also remind her of back when. 🙂

Okiiiiie. I’m gonna eat an ice cream sandwich (i’ve been ADDICTED to them lately) then head onto bed. Brad went to bed around 12:30AM and I’ll be joining him sooon! Have a great Wednesday! *wave wave* :grinny:
