It seems coming to work always makes me feel better :) I sure hope Kevin has some idea of what big shoes he has to fill in the "cheering up" category! One person will have to compare to my millions of daily customers with funny stories, entertaining children, and smiling faces! Tough job, but if anyone can do it, he can :)! Speaking of millions of customers, where are they? Have you seen them? Maybe they got lost on the way... Come on, people, I have a future to save for! I need moneys!!! I am only like $200 short of my goal! I moved in with the Irwins in order to save up some money so we can have a good financial start. Since I was saving about $400/month by living with them, I planned on having $1600 in savings when we got married! I also planned on making enough to have my car paid off by the wedding! I can proudly say I do indeed have enough to pay off my car, but I'm lacking in savings... In my defense, our car insurance is paid through April and all of our Christmas shopping is done... I pretty much just need to make.. Give or take $300 between today and tomorrow and I'll be ok! Who am I kidding!? At this rate, I'll be lucky if I make 300 Quarters ($75 for those math illiterate readers... Ok, ok I used a calculator!)
So, it turns out we have an apartment on the 3rd floor. Pros, heat will be cheaper?, no noisy neighbors upstairs, and I'll have toned calves and, hopefully, thighs within, oh I don't know, 72 hours! Cons: lugging groceries up 3 flights, moving furniture and boxes in and out, possibly falling down steps in icy conditions... Oh well, I just won't buy groceries in large bulks, and I'll make Kevin do all the moving! That takes care of 2 out of 3 :)! Speaking of Kevin, (when am I not speaking of Kevin?) he did really well on his astronomy test! He was the only one to get a 100 out of his whole class! I'm so proud of him! How did I get so lucky to get a hunk who also happens to be intelligent!? I can't wait to go back to school so I can prove how super genius I am to the world! I mean, really, I am uber smart :) which makes my being so dorky totally ok!
I am doing so much to ensure that I will be a good wife one day! I have learned to crochet, cook, bake, sew, and I have become super crafty! The only department I'm still lacking in is the cleaning dept... I am such a slob! I need help. Do they have a mess-makers anonymous anywhere near me!? I can make a bigger mess that Isabel in no time! it's actually quite impressive!! How am I supposed to clean up after a husband and kids while I'm trying to resurface from underneath a pile of clothes!? Advice? Suggestions? Aaahhhh!!! What am I going to do!?
Woooo-hoooo! I have a table! Be back later, gonna go make dat paper ;) hehe!

Grumpasaurus
Up and at 'em! Good morning good people of the world! Bad people of the world: go back to bed and stay off my roads! I'm not in the mood to tolerate grumpy people today, I'm too grumpy myself, lol! Why am I grumpy? Let's see... The love of my life is a gazillion miles away, I work all day today, oh and there's white dog hair all over my purple peacoat and it is 40something degrees outside. Ugh, just ugh. I guess I'll bathe and maybe wash my coat while I'm in there! I'll give this "happy" thing another shot when I'm out ;/

New chapter nerves...
After stalking everyone else's blogs for a while, I decided I better stop being a creeper and just post something on my own blog! I feel silly blogging when I know full-well that not a single human being is following.. YET! I just have to keep telling myself YET! So, I'm sitting here on the phone with Kevin, not really saying much of anything, but hearing him breathe on the other side of the phone is comforting. How's that for creepy!?
***BTW, I'm really struggling to find my "voice". You know, my literary flow. These first few blogs may be a bit.... choppy, but I promise I'll adjust to typing my feelings rather than blurting them out bluntly at unsuspecting bystanders ;)
Where was I? Oh yeah, that sweet hunk of a man I call mine! (Brownie points?) He thinks I'm crazy for starting this blog. Well, he thinks I'm crazy in general, but that's why he's marrying me, right? Marriage. Wow. The wedding is in 21 days.... Bizarre-o! I am absolutely thrilled to be marrying the guy of my dreams. I mean, Kevin is not only everything I always thought I wanted, but he's everything I forgot to put on the list, plus everything I need. Ugh, sappy much? It's so funny, because we come from completely different circles, yet we have tons of mutual friends, but nobody has really seen us spending much time together. Well, that could possibly be because we really haven't spent much time together. We ARE in love, I promise. So anyway, I am delighted to be marrying him, really, I am... It's just... the whole moving thing really has me bummed out. I mean, meeting the man of my dreams, and taking the first couple of steps towards happily ever after, and then au revoir!? Just like that. HiByeLoveYouMissYouG2G!? I wish we could stay and spend time together around all of the people I know and love. I have a family here. As corny as it may seem, my customers are my family. They have been through so much with me over the past 2 years, and taking this step and then leaving them behind as we take the rest of the steps just seems... wrong. So, it's not just my customers I'm going to miss... What about my dad and Jess? J.J!? He's going to grow up and I'm not going to get to watch him do it... I'm not going to get to be at his Kindergarten graduation... Or Catherine!? I'm here for Althea's 1st birthday party and then that's it. I do not get to continue tormenting her to say "GiGi" every second of every day. And with Jhontea going on deployment in April, I feel like I'm leaving my best friend, my sister really, all by herself when she needs me the most. Ugh. This stinks :( I know I signed up for this, but it's all becoming so final! And everyone is so happy to see me go. Not like emo depressing, but they are happy that I'm happy and I just wish they would put up a fight or something, geesh, lol!
On the other hand, I am pretty excited about Idaho. I mean, besides the 3 day drive, the snow, the cold, and the fact that I don't know anybody out there, I'm completely in love with the idea of starting fresh as Mrs. Lessly Dosamantes-Irwin! (GiGi to you!) We are going to have so much fun! We have an apartment in Rexburg. It's 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom. 700sq ft. Should be enough for us! It also has a dishwasher and washer/dryer in the apartment and a covered garage. The complex has a pool, lounge, theater room, gym, business center, the works... I'm stoked to decorate a new apartment and share it with my honey bun! Speaking of decorating, we have so much STUFF! I mean, really, thanks a bunch! Our entire bathroom is DONE! Everything from towels and a toothbrush holder to a fancy-shmancy shower head! And that was just the first bridal shower! I have another shower on Saturday and then the wedding! We are so lucky (blessed) to have such mazingly supportive friends and family! Thank you guys sooooo much! On that note, I'm going to head off to talk to my schnookums and hit the hay so I can be functional at work all day tomorrow :) Nite nite!

Let's give it a go :)
Alright, we're finally up and running! I had to hack into my dad's laptop, because it seems all of my technology is currently anti-mobile-blogging! Due to popular demand, I am starting a blog for all friends/family and any strangers that want to keep up with Kevin and I. I would say that "we" are starting a blog, but I anticipate that I will be the only one actually blogging. So, now that we're up and running, I'll keep everything updated :)
