Most interesting event of my marriage so far

Conrad and I were playing around, and we started pretending to be characters, you know, like role play (don't get excited, you sickos).

He pretended to be a nun. A boy nun. Not a monk, by the way. He said in a funny voice "I'm a little boy who enrolled in nun school!"

Very curious.

Fast Semester

Finals week is coming up! I can't believe how quickly 14 weeks went by, and how slowly these 2 weeks have gone by.

We set the date for moving! But I forgot it, so I'll have to let you know later. Funny how we're moving so soon, I've started packing, and we don't even have a place to go. On packing: I brought home some really small boxes (but if you pack them right, you'd be surprised how much fits in them) and started going through stuff. Why do I keep stuff I don't use?

Stuff I've thrown away that I shouldn't have even had in the first place:

1. boxes of expired checks with old addresses

2. cheap lotion that smells old-ladyish

3. ugly picture frames that I tried to decorate myself

Remember how my bedroom only had one stupid curtain? Well I went and bought the other one! Not stupid anymore! Our room looks a lot more put together.

I've vowed to try to use up as much of our food as possible before moving day, especially the canned stuff because its so heavy.

Also, something I did that I'm proud of: I made a little travel bag that's ready to go when we are! I always have spare stuff or travel-size stuff, so I figured in order to make a little more room, I'd pack all necessary things in a little pouch, and all we need to remember is toothbrushes. It contains small deodorants, mini toothpaste, lotion, travel-size shampoo, conditioner, and body wash, and aftershave.

We're in the process of finding a good, cheap vacation to go on, and this is what I've found..

- white water rafting in the summer

- cruise to Brazil over christmas

Any other suggestions? Also, we're open to group vacationing and home exchange!

SNAPPING OUT OF IT

I guess I've been depressed lately?? Or something? I really felt like my life was totally out of my own control, and like I couldn't do anything right.

That is quite enough of that.

I had a nice little nervous breakdown last night (and most of all day yesterday).

I think everyone should have a breakdown, in a "clear your mind by crying all night" way.

I woke up with puffy eyes, a clear head, and motivation to pick up the pieces and start over.

I've started by calling out of work. That place is one of the main sources for my frustration, so I'm going to spend the day NOT being there.

I've also decided that I'm going to clean my house. Starting with the ceiling fans, working my way down the walls (especially in the bathroom. Did you know that if you pee in the shower, which I do, the steam and pee sticks to the walls and drips down and you can actually see the yellow pee drops all over the bathroom? YUCK! That's a habit I might have to kick) and finishing with the floor.

I'm going to cook food I like, and wear clothes that I don't want to rip off - probably a bathing suit.

I'm also going to tackle things that annoy me, like online applications, clutter [I brought home some small boxes and I plan on filling them today, since we'll be moving soon], and how there's only one curtain in my room. I thought there were two in the package; turns out there's one! It looked cool for a couple months, but now it looks stupid, so I'll buy the other curtain and hang it so my house doesn't look like a barren, lop-sided, unfinished, college student's dorm room.

I will shank the chaos out of my life. Then I will shower.

In progress:

clean my mind

clean my environment

clean my body

4 weeks left

Its almost the end of the semester, for both of us. Conrad graduates, and I'm 12 units closer to...something. I applied to Chapman University, but it doesn't matter now, because we'll be moving to San Diego. Ever feel like anything you do will only move you further away from what you want?

I haven't applied to any schools in San Diego, and we only have about 6 weeks (not even) to find a place to live.

no more waiting

I feel like my life has just been a lot of waiting lately.

-waiting to hear from Conrad's job

-waiting to buy a house/get away from our horrible neighbor

-waiting to get new cars

-waiting to choose/go to a university

-waiting to have kids

Well, we finally don't have to wait [for most of those things] anymore! We found out from Conrad's job that he will be transferred to San Diego! We can finally start looking for a house! We can finally find a school for me! We don't really need new cars yet, and we're not ready for kiddies, but soon enough, we'll have it all!

I feel so blessed that we've been able to start off in an area that is difficult for young people to thrive in. We are SO blessed that Conrad got a well-paying job BEFORE graduation [most students hope for an internship, even if it doesn't pay!].

Very exciting stuff we've got going on here.

Disneyland

Last Friday Conrad and I went to Disneyland with his family.

SO FUN!

I always thought I didn't like Disneyland, but apparently I do!

Whoever invented fastpasses was a genius.

Grab one, go ride some rides with no lines, come back, and you don't have to wait!
This gem of a picture was taken on Splash Mountain.

Also, I love my husband.

soon-to-be mother's day

Conrad and I celebrated mother's day today. He made me breakfast in bed (toasted croissants with nutella).

No, for all you Curious George's out there, I'm not a mother. I won't be one in 9 months.

2-3 years is soon right? So I can say I'm a soon-to-be mother?

Can't wait to mother that man's children.

And I love my mom.
