the BIG debate....hmmmm/Gratitude challenge 8
I'm really just missing Jamie today....I'm actually debating going home Thanksgiving after dinner with my family and just doing my last day of hunting tomorrow. I'm just really missing him...Last year at this time his mom was telling us to pick out an engagment ring so that he could save it until he wanted to ask...and we were only together 3 months! But we ended up getting engaged the next month wtih a ring he picked by himself and suprised me!

OMG I'm BEHIND/ Gratitude challenge 7
Ok...well Its been a BUSY weekend with Deer Hunting and everything...I missed a huge buck and my mom ended up shooting him :(...oh well...Anyways...Yesterday my back started hurting, an I kept out there, and eventually it was hurting so bad I couldn't get my shoes off....I went to the chiro today and he told me to do as little walking as possible today and tomorrow :( and its a beautiful hunting day....grrr....Oh well I guess...I also had to switch back schools because the school I was just accepted for screwed everything up and there was no way I'd have all the stuff in by the time I needed it.
Todays Gratitude challenge is to share a picture of something I'm grateful for....Now its not that I"m grateful for my ring...(if I had a picture of Jamie acutally proposing to me that would be it)....but finding him in my life, and starting our lives together....that was the moment in my life I was truly grateful for!

Man I've Fallen Behind. Gratitude Challenge Day 6
I'm sorry I missed a few days here. I've been so busy. Jamie put an offer on a house I didn't even see, which just made me upset for the day. Its a beautiful house from what I can tell in the pictures which made me not AS mad. I went to the Musical and everything. Which again was just amazing like always! Now I'm going to do this, find an email for my academic advisor, catch up on greys, glee, and antm. Then who knows!
Todays challenge is to call someone I haven't talked to in a while. Well I did this yesterday but didn't get a chance to write it in! I didn't call her, but I picked her up and took her to beauty and the beast! Her name is Katie. Shes 8 years old now (well almost), but she was a HUGE part of my life. When she was 5 months old her mom left for basic training and her dad was taking an internship in the cities and she was living with her grandparents. I babysat her almost every day for that summer, and her mom was only back for about 7-8 months before she got deployed to Iraq. I pretty much helped raise her from 5 months-2 years. I hadn't seen her in almost 2 years after that. Things were so busy with her family and mine and she had a lot of moving around. So I called her dad up and suprise picked her up to take her to the musical! Shes gotten so big! We had an amazing time talkin about the things she remembered from when she was with us, and the few times after! It was great, and shes such a loving child! I'm glad I'm going to be living closer to her again, she changed my life, I had to learn a lot just by babysitting her and she helped prepare me for being a parent later in life!

Today and Gratitude Challenge day 5
Jamie, Ash, and I went to look at apartments and Land today. We found one that we really like. After that I went to see Beauty and the Beast at the high school! It was sooooo good!!!!!!! I can't wait to see it again! I'm glad I picked Lexi to sing with Andrew at my wedding!!! Anyways back to business....
Today's challenge is to take 5 minutes to write about how grateful I am for everything in my life.
I have no words to really express my emotion to how grateful I am for everything in my life. I haven't felt this way in a looong! I've been so happy lately and I'm so thankful for the things in my life that have made me that way. Its mostly Jamie. But everything is starting to finally fall into place. And most of it is from Love. The love of my family, freinds, Jamie, and everything. I am thankful that I get to experience that feeling. Man its been 5 minutes and I hardly felt I wrote anything. Its so hard to put this into words becuase its such a hard feeling to explain.

Yesterday/Today and Challenge #4
Well Yesterday was a good day. Jamie and I and a few of his freinds went to the Milwaukee Bucks game against the Denver Nuggets. We were like 10 seats off the court and had free drinks, and great views! We didnt originally have those tickets but ours were bought by some club or whatever that goes to every home game, so they uprgraded us bigtime! Our seats cost over twice as much as our tickets did! I even caught a shirt! We had a lot of fun.
Today I was just blah. I got up at 10ish, but sat in bed and watched TV till 1230. I have to get ready to go to town pretty quick. I have to return Evanrudes new collar because it quit working. Then I am going to get my tattoo touched up. And I have to stop at KT to get some cash because last time my card got rejected at the parlor and I don't really feel like going through that again. Then I'm coming home and packing away, I'll be going home for a week or two. This weekend me and Jamie are looking at some land and the apartment we are pretty sure we will be getting. And its Beauty and the Beast! I'm so excited! My old high school puts on AMAZING shows! And I get to meet JASON! My sissy's boy toy! And next weekend is deer hunting.
Speaking of Jason. My dreams last night were INSANE :(. First I asked Shelly how Jason was and she said "you didn't hear? He died this morning" I was like WHAT? And then she went on to tell me how he was stopped in his car and his dad was driving a combine and couldnt get it to stop, and ended up running into the car and killing him. I was sooooo sad for my baby sister! When I told my dad he didn't care a whole lot and was like we arent going to give her gas money to attend the funeral either. I was so mad at that. And I woke up BAWLING and fell asleep again. Then my dream turned into me walking in the ghetto area of some town, trying to find my apartment. And this guy was hitting on me and I couldnt find my pepper spray until after his wife found him and drug him away. Then I ran into some friends and they were like come with us, we'll find you a ride home later we just dont want you walking alone. Then we somehow ended up at a 4H camp.....and yeah it was very random....
Todays Gratitude challenge is it write a message of thanks to something "Negative" in my life.
Well. My negatives in life are money. I don't have any at all, and I wont be getting any anytime soon either. I have $600 bucks to live on. (and the tattoo touchup is 10 bucks and im getting it done before I move so it can be touched up by the same artist. Just clearin that up)....I owe my fiance $2000 for the last 8 months of living together where I didn't have a very good job. He helped pay rent, we bought a washer and dryer (scratch and dent sale), we have our jeep, and for other things I've needed help paying for. I hate that I owe so much money to him. I hate it very much! But. It makes me watch my spending habits, and save money better, and realize that I need to go to college so that I can get a really good job in the field I'm working in. It pushes me to have to make sacrifices, and manage my money. Which is something I had never had to learn before because I lived at home and helped out a lot, so they rewarded me with things. I didnt have rent, I didnt' have cell phone bills, I didn't have to buy food, or gas, so All the money I made was mine to do with what I want. Then I hit the real world. And it was a big wake up call most definantly! But I'm glad it happend. And I'm glad that I have a supportive fiance who is there to help me when I need things but doesnt just hand me money all the time.

Challenge: Day 3
Today's challenge is to write about something I feel grateful for in my life today.
I'd have to say my Fiance Jamie. I honestly never felt that I'd be able to call someone my fiance, or that I'd even make it one year with someone. My longest realtionship before Jamie was 9 months. Jamie and I were only together 4 before he proposed. I can honestly say I'm so grateful to have someone in my life as amazing and caring as him. Hes always there for me, and he makes me so happy. Im grateful that he's been able to give me the feelings I thought I'd never have. I'm excited to start our lives together as a married couple, and he gives me something to look forward to. Hes an amazing guy. And like the song thats going to be sang during our wedding. "When God made you, he must have been thinking about me, and everything that I would need".

Gratitude Challenge: Day 2...the Alphabet
Todays Challenge is to use the ABCs to say what I'm grateful for and why. So here it goes!
A- Ashley, without one of my best friends I'd be lost! Shes like a sister to me and I love her to death!
B- Books, without them I'd be lost. They save me from boredom and open my eyes to new things in life.
C- Ciara, again one of my best friends! I love this girl and Shes always there for me!
D- Driving. I'm so glad we can drive. I can make it back and forth between my parents house and my house in 3 hours instead of the time it would take me to walk. Or bike.
E- Evanrude. Hes my baby boy! I love him! He brought me out of some dark times, and I love that hes always there for me, hes amazing wtih people and especially kids so I have no fears of when I have kids. He is so lovable and caring!
F- Family. I love my family and I'm so glad they are supportive of everything I do, even if they don't always agree. They are always there for me and I love them for everything!
G- God. I'm so thankful that I have my faith and that God is always there for me. Especially in these tough times. Since my attacks started happening more I've been looking for God for more help. He gives me the strength and I can always feel a calmness come over me when I look to him when I feel them coming.
H- Home. I'm glad I have a home to live in. A place to call home. and A roof over my head. My home is where my fiance lives, or I also call Home where my mom and dad live.
I- Internet. Without it I wouldnt have met my AMAZING fiance. Its also my way to stay in touch with my family and friends.
J- Jamie. My amazing Fiance. I'm so glad we found eachother and that everything is going great between us. He puts up with all my crap, and hes always making me laugh and I feel amazin wtih him
K- Kevie. My dad. Hes so great and I love him! Even though we FIGHT all the time, I know its because we are so much alike, and since we've been in a "long distance relationship" since I moved here, we've grown that much closer!
L- Love. Without love we have nothing. I think everyone has to have love, either with a person, or even a pet. But you have to be passionate about something or theres nothing to live for.
M- Music. I love music. I'm so glad that we have it and we can enjoy it.
N- Noise. I hate when its too quiet. I get scared of things being too quiet. I start having attacks because I think I hear things that arent there.
O- Ownership. It feels good that in the country we live in we can Own things. We have so many opportunities in this country and its amazing that we live in such a great place.
P- Pictures. I love pictures. I love that we can capture memories and look back on them whenever we want.
Q- Questions. If nobody asked questions nobody would know what was going on.
R- Rules. I'm glad that there are rules. Without rules, the world would be complete chaos and there would be no order or safety for anyone.
S- Shelly. My baby sister. Shes amazing and I love her. We hated eachother when we were little and now we've become very close friends.
T- Talking. I'm grateful that we have the ability to talk and communicate with eachother.
U- Underwear. I love underwear! Thats all there is to it.
V- Vision. Again another thing I am very thankful that I have. I love to see things, colors, textures, light, dark, people, everything. I'd be lost without my vision
W- Weddings. I love weddings. They are the most amazing thing. 2 People committing their lives to eachother, in front of God. 2 People expressing their love to everyone and starting a life together.
X- Xrays. Even though I had to have about 12 of them in 6 weeks, I'm glad to know that I was not going to have to go through surgery on my neck, and that I was able to get it off at 6 weeks.
Y- Youth. I love being in my youth still. there is still so much life ahead of me and I still have time to do things.
Z- Zipper. Jamies dog. Ive grown to love him in the past year and a half. He is a good house protector and I always feel safe knowing hes with us. Hes such a playful loving dog and I'm glad that him and Evanrude get along and its so cute when they Snuggle together. But hes also got a mean bark that lets people know that this is our house and that if they arent invited and he doesnt know them to go away.

Trying to Early Christmas Shop....its not working
I'm trying to find Jamie's present for Christmas and I can't seem to find it ANYWHERE online! Except for one which is way too much for what I have to spend. Its also over our spending limit on eachother anyways. BAH. Anyways.. Its been a good day, got up at like 7 when Jamie left for work and couldnt fall back asleep! So I took a shower, ate breakfast, and watched my daily 2 episodes of Say Yes to the Dress, and 2 episodes of Animal Cops Detroit. Jamie goes today to see what kind of loan we are eligable for when it comes to our house! We drew up some blue prints last night too! I am getting really excited about building so I hope we stick with it!

Gratitude Challenge: Day 1
I have seen so many people taking the gratitude challenge and I find that this is the perfect time in my life to do so. Day 1 is to express why I accepted the challenge and what I hope to achieve from it.
I accepted the challenge because I feel that right now I'm taking too much for granted in life, and I shouldnt be because theres a lot of wonderful things in my life that I forget to be thankful for every day. I hope to achieve some sort of self finding in the process as well as realizing the things in life that mean the most to me.

Bad News...Good News...
So its been a crazy hectic week but things are FINALLY falling into place! Jamie got a phonecall (the call we've been waitin for for a year now!) and he came into our room, and said "Baby..I got bad news, and I got good news" All I could think of is crap, we got Kenosha. He said "The bad news is there is no more La Crosse position" I cried....then he said "Good news is its because I took it!" I was so happy! It doesnt start until January but that gives us time to start looking for places to live. We've decided to build a house. So for 6 months we are going to rent a place. We are going to look at this townhouse on friday. If we get that one, my best friend Ashley is going to live with us for the 6 months since she is moving back into the area and doesnt want to live at home. Which I will feel better about because then I won't be home alone at night while Jamie is at work. I also got accepted into MN State Southeast Technical College Nursing Program! Yay!
Saturday night one of my besties and I went to see RENT (broadway tour) in Appleton. The actual Mark and Rodger were in it! It was soooo amazing! I had a blast. And they did a auction for getting to go backstage and meet the people and get pictures, and they went for $800 and that person let another person match the $800, so for $1600 (which went towards AIDS research and to help families that have been affected by it) 2 people got to meet the cast. The musical is definantly my favorite and their singing gave me the chills!
