03:10 pm - ::married life::
married life is different and wonderful all at the same time...
...we took a cruise to the bahamas where we stopped in nassau and freeport. nassau was off the hizzy, we rented a scooter and drove it around part of the island. it was beuatiful and fun and adventurous all at the same time. freeport was pretty much the suck...at least we think so. we didn't exactly get off the ship there. we were only there from 8-5 and didn't get up and get moving til like 2 and decided that freeport didnt look exciting enough for us to actually get off the ship and take a taxi into town.
...by the time we got home from the cruise we were SOO ready to be back in America. we stopped at target on our way back from port canaveral and used up all of our giftcards from there, which i belive totaled like $400-ish. we were so excited to get home and unload the car. that day we did everything around the house, unpacked our suitcases, washed the clothes, set up some rugs, put up pictures that we bought, opened and put away all of our wedding presents, made a relatively small stack of things to be taken back, and even made a recycle stack of cardboard, plastic, and aluminum cans we were drinking out of. needless to say our day was packed!!
...the next day we woke up and did some more shopping at wal-mart and bed, bath, and beyond using our giftcards and buying different things that we needed to make our apartment homey. and if i don't say so myself, we did an awesome job. i love coming home to my husband and my home!
...at first when i was staying here i felt like we were breaking so many rules, i mean all of my life i have grown up as a preachers kid, worked at lake aurora christian camp, and gone to florida christian college. i mean its kinda been rammed into my head that a guy in a girls room is all bad....but i'm here to tell you that its SOO good :) no but in all seriousness i was a little nervous at first living with david because he's so neat and tidy and i can be tidy but i can also be quite messy! but thus far we've both been pretty good about it. i tryto pick up after myself and he even picks my stuff up sometimes, but doesn't freak out about it. and i have 'spaces' that are allowed to be messy and ecclectic. like my side table and my dresser, they don't ever have to be tidy, and believe it or not but i'm the one that organizes the fridge and pantry. if it were up to him he'd just shove everything wherever in there.
...in conclusion, though being married is not something i'm used to doing, it is something that i am enjoying so much. even when we have little 'tiffs' i enjoy being real with my husband and being able to learn from our mistakes. we are having a blast and wish all the same happieness that we share!

10:53 pm - yeah...i suck
so i pretty much suck at life right now...i am such a lazy bum i never feel like doing anything that i ought to do...
...i'm dropping my Biology class because i suck and can't pass my stinking class...there are actually numerous reasons why i suck so much at this class...so here goes:
::it is a biology class specifically for biology majors
::3/4 of the class is focused on micro-biology, cells, tiny tiny cells
::my class starts at 8am(anyone reading this should know that i am NOT a morning person!
::though my professor provided us with notes to help us, they are crap and help in no way
::he does not lecture from his notes, and he even skips around on his powerpoint!
::he's decent looking but SOOOO monotone it isn't even funny
...now personally i think that those are PLENTY of decent reasons why i'm dropping my class...however it is quite frustrating that i don't get any $$ back cause i payed for school myself this semester! sucky!
so i think tomorrow i am going to head up to the school and banish that class from my semester!
in brighter news...my bridal shop called me today to tell me that my dress came in so i'm going tuesday for my first fitting!!!! oh i am SOO excited!

08:55 pm - i'm a big girl now?!
so in the past couple of days i did 2 very big things....they may not sound like a big deal to some...but for me they are huge...
1. it has been brought to my attention that my father is not the money bags that i thought that he was...he told me that he may not have the flow to pay for my tuition this semester...you see we have a second house and a mortgage on that still...we usually rent this house out, but my dad has decided to try and sell it...he's fixed it up and had it on the market for about 6 months now...all this time he is paying the mortgage on his own without a rent check to help him out, along with running electricity over there so that the realator can show the house whenever...along with paying all the bills and payments that he has for this house and cars or whatever bills he has....because of all this my father will struggle to pay my tuition this semester...i am praying that the house get sold so that all will be better in this entire situation...but until then all i can do is help him out as best i can...so yesterday when it came time for me to order my books for school, i went ahead and payed for them....it's not that i'm like loaded or anything...its just that my dad has SOOO many more bills than me and i didn't want for him to stress over this one more payment...
2. kind of along the same lines....but not entirely....back in march or april i had my wisdom teeth extracted...when i went to the dentist they told me that i grind my teeth when i sleep (which i've known for years) and that i need a mouthguard for when i sleep so i don't grind my teeth down to nothing...this mouthguard was an estimated cost of $200 and my dad decided that first i should try sleeping with a $2 football mouthguard and if that didn't work we'd look into the real one...i did this, however i breath through my mouth when i sleep, so this did not work...i put off doing this for a long time just cuz i would always forget to remind my mom to call and yada yada.... so yesterday i finally asked my dad for the number to the dentist, called them set up an appointment for today, went by myself this morning, got the impressions for the guard taken, paid for the mouthguard and visit, and then scheduled a cleaning on the day that i pick up my nightguard.
i'm not a kid anymore and it kinda freaks me out a little!!

09:40 am - my life
so my life is going pretty well right now....i don't have much to complain about...right now i'm working kind of alot...and when i'm not working i am hanging out with david...which is loads of fun i think...the only thing about that is that he lives kinda far away...tampa...so i don't get to hang out with him much...but its ok...right now we're doing daily devotions and keeping eachother accountable with them and we talk about them and what we got out of them and such...i like that alot, because with us living so far away from eachother, and going to school so far away(he goes to usf in tampa and i go to fcc in kissimmee) its so nice to just give our reltionship to God...and realize that we both love eachother, and if God is a fan of this whole thing then it will work...and we seem to think that he is a fan of us...
i start school in 2 weeks....i move in to my apartment in 1 week...i'm getting more excited as the days tick away...i'm still not too excited about actually having to do homework and such but i'll get used to it and be ok....i hope....again...i feel like God wants me to make good grades, so i trust that he'll put the interest and dedication in me!!
