"My relationship is the thing I'm proudest of in my life. I had a lot of opportunities to end up in some pretty bad situations and, despite all my faults, I had the sense to find someone like him and make the decision to be with him. You spend a lot of time wanting to be with the wrong person and I just feel incredibly lucky because I've succeeded at that one thing. I figured that out."
-Sarah Polley
For a while, I was beginning to think that my marriage to Alan (even though we aren't married just yet) wasn't going to work out. Both my mom and my dad have been married three times so it's hard to have any sort of faith in long-lasting relationship when you've never seen proof of one. We're doing everything we can to keep our relationship strong by communicating and and really listening to each other. It's hard at times because sometimes, we just don't see eye to eye. But as long as we realize that all we have is each other and that a deal is deal, our marriage will last our lives.
Moving on, my birthday was three days ago. Yup, I'm (after my friend Tytus) the oldest of all of my friends. The night was pretty great. We had beer, tacos and the most cutthroat game of Monopoly I've ever played. The night had its moments of drama but I wouldn't change it. I don't feel any different since turning twenty-three. But I must admit, the closer I get to twenty-five, the more anxiety I feel wondering if I'm ever going to get to accomplish the things I want. Where my life is going and who I am in the grand scheme of things. I promised myself i wouldn't have a quarter life crisis though. I can't afford a "go find myself" sabbatical. Maybe if we win the lotto, but if that happens, I'll just buy a Lambo.

I always…
* sleep on my side against the wall. this is fact.
* check my front door 2348823974 times just to make sure its locked.
* think i'm gonna get robbed.
* drool over really high heels but know i'll never wear them.
* buy apple pie ice cream expecting it to be as good as the real thing. it never is.
* try to eat every color in my suppers.
* love a good nap.
I sometimes…
* wish i knew my parents when they were young. it bet they'd be fun.
* get really nervous when my boss calls my name over the intercom.
* wonder what it would be like to be a boy, dog or other random thing.
* want to disappear forever.
* wish i was shorter with smaller feet.
* need my personal space.
I never…
* finish whole fruit.
* like looking at myself naked in the mirror or shower, it seems so... dirty.
* have the right comeback when the time is right.
* stick up for myself.
* seem to be able to find matching socks.
* wanting to stop learning, life stops being fun then.
I wish I still talked to Kerry. But it's best we don't.

so basically...
jake needs to go the vet something serious. i also gotta get him dog food. ugh, he's such a drain on my money but he's the cutest thing ever.
the wedding has pretty much been put on hold for right now. alan seems to have no idea when we'll be able to live together (by his own admission) since he's a broke ass. every place i find that i'll admit, isn't the best of best but is afforable, alan doesn't like. i try and tell him that it's better than nothing but there's no convincing him.
the diet isn't going as great as i planned. i know that produce is expensive but my goodness! there's no way in hell i'm going to be able to keep up with this. i can't cook everyday since my hours are so erratic that i'm never during dinner time or even real waking human hours, so it's hard. but nothing worth having comes easy, as they say.
lately i've been feeling very overwhelmed. i'm in debt, buying basic essentials is causing me to panic, i took on the responsibility of a car THAT I CAN'T EVEN DRIVE, the patch of hair that burnt off the fire still hasn't grown back... it's just a disaster. we're going to need to call exterminators for the roaches in the house but it doesn't even make sense to considering everyone is constantly leaving food and dirty dishes out. work is terrible. i'm a a breaking point. i never should have quit my job at the daycare. i miss those kids so much and i needed the extra money even of it was only 300 extra a month. i could have paid two bills with that extra money!
where's my head at, these days.

pulled pork, IKEA, and the wedding: the saga continues.
Last night at work about six or seven people came in and bought meat for pulled pork. So I figured it was a sign and decided to make some for Alan since he's basically obsessed with the stuff. Not to toot my own horn or anything, but smells wonderful. Alan gave it the taste test and I'm as happy as a pig in shit. I don't know how I fell about cooking meat since, well, I don't eat it but he does it just another thing we have to make work in our life together.
Just like my love for all things IKEA. I finally got to visit the furniture mecca on Saturday with ym lovely friend, Jessica. I think I giggled incessantly the whole ride there so she turned up the Pixies to drown me out. After the seemingly never ending torrential rains and mass confusion of that happens when you drive into Broward and Miami-Dade, we made it. I'm telling you I hope I'm this excited on my wedding day. I LOVED IT!! I lost Jessica a few times but it was so much fun. They have little mock houses in there and me and her picked our out and sat in kitchen and talked like it was really one of our houses. Of course with the exception of people walking through. One thing I did notice was 98% of the people shopping there that day were Spanish of some kind. Yet another sign you know you're in Miami.
Wedding planning has been going... okay. We decided to push the wedding up which has caused full on wide scale panic amongst friends and family. My sister doesn't know if she's coming now because they already put in leave for the first date, I'm too afraid to tell my mom; the whole thing is sheer craziness.
