Lately...

Well I hardly ever post anything but I have some extra free time lately. A lot has changed in the past few months and I'd say 99.9% of the changes are for the better :) Here's what's new...

1. I'm in ♥!

Yeah I said it! L-O-V-E love! His name is Landon and he's the best boyfriend I could ever ask for! He's literally the sweetest guy I've ever met and he makes me smile CONSTANTLY! Growing up my dad would tell me many things that a guy should do for his girl. I considered it great advice but I must admit that there were times where I thought dad's idea of a guy for me was not humanly possible. No one ever measured up to those standards...until Landon :) He's kind, a gentleman, treats me and others with great respect, doesn't put up with some people's bull, and is extremely genuine. I could go on forever but the main point is that he is a wonderful man and I'm so thankful to have him in my life. Here's my fav pic of us...

April 24th, 2010

Oh yeah, and we met by going on a blind date set up by my hair stylist, now friend, Meagan. With lots of help and encouragement from both Meagan and her boyfriend Jesse. Thanks guys!

2. I quit my job at the center.

I had been on an intermittent FMLA for two months...translation: I only worked 3 days a week by request of my doctor and the center wasn't allowed to give me the boot. Although this helped, I'd find myself ill with another bug by the time I went back to work on Sunday. My family had been telling me to leave for months now and this time I finally listened to them. I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired! But that's another story. So my "job" right now is to rest and get better. I'm very VERY fortunate to have such a loving and supportive family.

P.S. Aside from the tantrums and getting beat up by 4 year olds, I really miss the munchkins!

3. My best friend EVER, Sam aka Sammy, got married!

She and Steve had been going through some family drama with the wedding plans. They were super stressed out, working like dogs to pay for things, and getting constant flack from family for every stinkin' decision they made about the wedding. All the little things started to get between them and they realized that they were losing sight of the whole reason why they were getting married. So they called me up one night (May 26th to be exact) and asked what I was doing. The conversation went a little like this...

Sam: Hey what are you up to tonight?
Me: (Starring down at my mismatched pajamas) Umm...just sittin' around. Why?
Sam: Well Steve and I were talking and we think we're just going to go to Vegas and get hitched. Wanna come?
Me: Sure! That's awesome! What were you thinking, like in a couple weeks or something?
Sam: No, like tomorrow. Can you be packed and ready to go in an hour?
Me: Uhhh...ummm....whoa....sure!
Sam: Okay see you soon!
Me: Mouth open and shell shocked.

The rest is pretty much history! I was so honored that they asked me to be there. Steve's best friend Morgan lives in Vegas so he came to the ceremony and we went out to dinner after. Later I heard Sam and Steve talking in the car on our drive home and they both agreed that they didn't regret a thing and that the right people were there. I almost started crying right then. I'm so happy for them and I believe that they're going to live a long and blissful life together! I love you guys!

One of my fav pics of them! So cute!

I only have one more thing to add...

At least for today anyway ;)
