Truth.

I ended up with nine ladies at my Passion Party, which is awesome! My strawberry cake was actually a big hit and the ladies brought wine, my (soon to be) sister-in-law brought her amazing espresso cookies! We were all very comfortable around each other and shared stories and had an all around good time. 

Three of the ladies stuck around to hang with me after the party and then it came to just three of us, one of which being my (soon to be) sister-in-law, Holly. I can honestly say that I am so thankful for her! My Husband and I have had to deal with far too much drama from his side of the family lately and it truly hurts to feel so distant with them, especially because we’ve always been so close. Every time she and I get together she talks to me about it and makes me feel a lot less alone. I don’t say anything to Husband about it because I don’t want to ruffle his feathers when it comes to his other brother. Last night Holly told me that she feels like it’s unfair and that while she likes not being involved she can totally see where we’re coming from. She also gave me some insight on the things going on when we can’t be there to witness them and it really put me at ease. We talked about the Hasty boys, and if only you guys knew, our husband’s and their father are like a different species. They are unlike any man I’ve ever dated! They are so difficult to crack, so hard to understand and yet they’re the most straight forward and sentimental people I’ve ever met. It makes things both harder and easier. She and I laugh at how similar they are and we’re grateful. Her best friend was there with us and hearing her talk about her relationship and family drama made me understand that we’re all sort of in the same boat. 

I feel more comfortable because I know that she knows where I’m coming from and I feel like if the situation ever called for it, she’d be there for me and have my back, especially in times when I feel like I’m being backed into a corner. 

This has been a very sentimental post.

After getting off work this morning I thought I’d do some running with my cousin and dear friend! Another 3 miles for the books, I’m so proud of all my running these past few weeks. After the run, did I sleep? Of course not, it’s the whole I-want-to-get-back-on-schedule thing I always rant about. It’s obviously not working, seeing as how I’m awake at almost 1 am. My life story. 

Husband left for work and before I got the chance to give in to my comfortable bed, Mom calls asking if I want my little sister for the day…You’ve all met Esah. So, of course I say yes. Then my Aunt calls and asked if she could come over today and cook me some Cowboy Spaghetti!!! (If you don’t know what that is, it’s one of my favorite meals, very unhealthy, made with spaghetti noodles, tomatoes, hamburger, bacon, bacon grease and beer!) Another offer I couldn’t refuse. Esah got here and we popped in a couple of movies. Then my aunt came! She cooked and it was so delicious. My stomach could hardly handle all that grease but it was so so good. Of course, I had to ingest some kind of healthy snack…

Esah through a mini-fit because she didn’t have enough clothes, so my mother’s boyfriend brought this little 8 year old $40 for me to take her shopping! What?! Yes, I was never this spoiled. So a shopping spree happened. This poor girl had absolutely no clue that $40 doesn’t go very far these days. 

All day I was more than ready to see Husband come home! Finally a weekend with my favorite guy. I told little sister no staying the night this time around, I’ve got to spend some quality time with Husband. Before he came home I took a small nap, which really I took a few power naps throughout the day. All of which, just kept making me more and more tired. Husband came home and I was so happy to see him, even if I do look somewhat like a zombie. We did our interview, if you haven’t seen it check out my previous post for the link! Afterwards we decided a nice bike ride was much needed, especially because by some miracle, it feels incredible out. 

Isn’t his face priceless?! I’m one lucky gal. I’m still dragging my feet around the house now. I could really use a foot massage, which will have to come later because someone has his thumbs glued to the PS3 controller. No biggie, more blogging time for me. 

I have just way too much time on my hands, which I will be wishing I wasn’t complaining about after my interview next week. I’ve got my fingers crossed that this weekend rocks and I can have a somewhat relaxing start to my week. 

Saturday.

  • Morning run
  • Breakfast
  • Yard work with Husband
  • Clean the house

If anyone does something that messes up this weekends flow…you will be in so much trouble. This is a much needed break! Hope all is well with everyone in Tumblr land. 

Diary of the Young and Married: A Haze.

So, this week has been off the charts insanity! It started off beautifully with one of my best friends giving birth to her beautiful baby girl. Meet Avianna Lynn, isn’t she gorgeous. I spent much of Wednesday and Thursday with her. Then of course I was called from her arrival to head to my gyno appointment early and, well, I’ve already ranted and raved about that. 

Friday morning I had an 8 am refresher class for work and it was awful. These classes are getting to be very repetitive and I feel like they are a waste of my time, although, I am getting paid for them. At this point, I was able to tell I wouldn’t be seeing much of my Husband this weekend. I left there, ran a few errands, went home and cleaned the house and then off to work overnight. I think it might be an understatement if I were to say this was a calm night, it was so ridiculously slow in the hospital! By 1 am I was practically fighting my eyelids to stay open. 

I got a few hours of sleep but woke up early so I can spend Saturday at the creek with my Husband’s family…that is until I headed straight from there back to work another overnight. (FYI, I absolutely hate working the three in a rows). Husband has missed me and he was so appreciative of me waking up to be with him, but of course, I wouldn’t have missed that time with him for the world. Another long night at work but I was way passed tired, I felt like running a marathon that morning but of course the one time I feel this way it pours rain. So…sleep. 

Woke up early again because Sunday was, not only Father’s Day, but also my niece’s First Birthday! I couldn’t miss it, not for anything. I took my work clothes with me and it all went way too fast. I didn’t want to leave my Husband again, but the truth is we really need the money so I really just had to learn to suck it up. So, last night at work, Husband and I shared some sappy texts and I somehow forced myself through my last night. Of course, I’m not sleeping, I came home, changed and then ran with a new friend/running partner. I feel energized, not a bone in my body is sleepy, I’m way past sleepy. Husband is sleeping in the bedroom and he just looks way to peaceful and sweet to wake. I plan on making him a very nice dinner tonight, we could use this. 

Tonight the plan is to sit down and come up with our new savings plan, some things are going to have to change if we’re ever going to get back on track. I don’t know if it’s all the stress of money, the new information about possibly having endo, or just the fact that I feel like this whole weekend was an out of body experience, whatever it is I’ve been pretty down. I apologized to Husband last night because I’m sure it’s awful having to deal with all that. It’s as if my body was here this weekend but my soul was somewhere else. Nothing like a three day stretch of insanity to bring you crawling home to your sweetheart. I can’t believe how well he puts up with me, he deserves a serious prize. I love this man. I guess this is just how it is, I mean the busy lifestyle. This is how we’ve earned everything we have so far and that will never change. I wouldn’t have it any other way. 

Until next time,

-A Wife.
