I've decided to use my journal again. I just have so much to work through and get out. It's been over a year since I posted, so I'll try to give a little update. John and I bought a house and got married. So in December we decided to stop using birth control and just see what happened. That was the plan for 2008. Just see what happens. I got ( Read more... )

Maybe I will. This is actually just me procrastinating going and working out. Plus, I'm waiting for John to call. So this week I become a home owner. John too. We found an AWESOME house in an AWESOME neighborhood in St. Paul. We have a little bit of work to do on it before we move in, but once we're done its going to be perfect. What else ( Read more... )

Oh man, I should update. Let's see. Not much is going on. My new job is ok. There's a lot of stuff I don't like but its still better than my old job. I like working downtown. That makes me feel pretty cool. Today we're getting our new elliptical machine delivered. I'm pretty excited. I had been walking 2 miles with Porter everyday, but now ( Read more... )

Ok, this is craziness, but John hurt his hand in the snowblower! He still has all his fingers and stuff, but they're not pretty. We spent New Year's Eve day in the emergency room. I was very scared. Everything looks like its going to be ok though. His middle finger is broken, so that's a concern. The nail came off too. So his nail will ( Read more... )

First I would like to say that my dad and Porter are both doing awesome after their surgeries. My dad is STILL NOT SMOKING!!! He has more energy then he did before the surgery and he's doing really well at his rehab. My mom took a heart-healthy cooking class, so they're eating better too. I dare say his heart surgery has ended up being a very ( Read more... )

I have so much to update on its almost not even worth it. I'm sure I'll forget something. Well, my dad has had to have bypass surgery. It all happened really fast. He had an abnormal stress test. So then he needed some more tests. They showed that he needed angioplasty (sp?). No big deal right? They get in there to do the angio and find out ( Read more... )

Thank goodness its Friday. I have my first section of my CPA exam on Monday. I have to study all weekend. I'm not sure how I'll do. I guess I just don't know what to expect. To make matters worse, I'm starting to feel like I'm coming down with something and I have a fever. I took some Tylenol and I'm going to get to bed early. John is in ( Read more... )

Well, my job interview was last Friday. I think it went well. I'm a little concerned about the ratio between the number of openings and the number of applicants, but I did the best I could. The best/worse part was how awesome the company was. I want to work there so bad. They are really into promoting a good work/home balance. I don't think ( Read more... )

How's it goin? Things are good here. Actually, I sprained my ankle yesterday. We were on our way back from John's dad's house and we had to stop at his sister's to drop off some stuff. I was walking Porter and I took a digger. Rolled the ankle and the rest is history. It got swollen right away, but its just now starting to bruise. Luckily I ( Read more... )
