If there is anything that I have learned in the last month is that house hunting is NOT fun!!! It is very stressful and frustrating. Steve and I looked at close to 100 houses! After weeks of disappointment we finally found THE house! A cute little 3bedroom 2 bath! I am so excited! The house inspection is tomorrow and if all goes well we are closing on August 10th. I am so ready to move out of my In Laws house. I love them, but I really miss all my stuff.
Listen closely on August 10th, you may just hear me let out a huge sigh all the way from Tulsa, OK!!

Went to the doctor yesterday. I had a pretty bad ear infection. Thankfully he gave me some ear drops that helped sooth me almost instantly. He also high fived me cuz my blood pressure is finally to a normal reading and has stayed that way for a few weeks now! Now I can start my excersizing back up. Yippie!! (can you smell the sarcasim?) LOL

Also I am cramping like a Mother F-er today!! :(

Sometimes work can be soooo boring!! I sit in front of these huge windows and a lot of the times I catch myself staring out of them. I can see tons of cars, a firework stand, a vacant building, some lady talking on a cell phone. Yesterday I saw this convertable towing a boat. I thought it was the funniest thing. You don't normally see that kind of car towing anything much less a boat! Also my work is located right next door to a Subway. I can smell their food all day long. At first it was cool but now it makes me sick. I can't even stand to watch their commercials anymore. Anyway, I just felt like blogging.....nothing really important going on.

1. Married life is awesome! I love my hubby more and more each day. And the best thing is, he is way into me!

2. Don't sweat the small things!

3. 2 Dogs and 1 cat CAN get a long! lol

4. The light at the end of the tunnel is closer than you think.

5. If you want something done, you should prolly do it yourself. Or it might not get done.

6. I love the smell of BBQ

7. Curves are beautiful. I knew this before, but it has become more apparent to me.

8. I can actually grow plants and flowers! I may start an herb garden soon. My jalapeno tree is so big!

9. Living in the country rocks. I can actually hear nature at night and not passing cars. OH and you can see the stars and planets clear as day....just at night lol

10. Patience. I learn this every day.....

So far my new job is going great. The girls there are so nice and they really have accepted me. I have never worked in a really small office before but I am really digging it. It is way more laid back.
On another note, Steve and I are going to start are weekend camping trips next month. In April we are spending a weekend up in the Wichita Mountains. I can't wait. Some friends of mine in Dallas are meeting us there too!
Oklahoma really is a beautiful state. They have tons of places to go camping and hiking, tons of mountains and beautiful lakes. Just getting back to nature will be fun and refreshing.
Also were I live there is no pollution in the air. Just a blanket of stars and the moon is always HUGE!! I really do love it here. I can't wait till it gets warmer and I can sit outside more!

Jessie, I miss you too! Email me at amylikesbacon@yahoo.com anytime! Or you can always call me! ;)

Well I finally got a new job! I am only 2 days into it and I love it already. The place is nice and the I really get along well with the people there. Hopefully that will last!

Wow looking for a job is hard sometimes and very frustrating. I have had a ton of interviews this past week or so. Most of them resulted in a second interview also. I am crossing my fingers for this one job that is at a law firm. It starts out in the mid 30s and better yet I can wear jeans everyday! LOL
They really liked me and I have already been on two interviews with them. They said I would hear from them this week.
In the meantime I am hearing from other jobs that do not pay so well. Also as I look through the paper for a job about 90% of them are through a staffing company. Very annoying!!!
I do have a second interview with a staffing company tomorrow but it is not for a job placement. They actually want to hire me there as a staffing recruiter. I like the place and the people there are extremely nice but the pay is not that good at all.
So I am not sure exactly what to do.
Just feeling a bit overwhelmed and frustrated.

Well I am a married woman now and loving it!! So far I am the happiest I have ever been. Steve is the most amazing husband. It is truly hard to believe how different we both are now. It is hard to imagine we are the same people we were a few years back when we dated. Funny how life and God changes people.
The wedding went off flawless and the honeymoon was even better!!
I am also officially moved and settled into our little place in Oklahoma. It is nice a cozy here. I never thought that I would enjoy living in a small town but I love it here. Despite the fact that it has been super cold the last few days!!
Tomorrow I have 3 job interviews! Yes - 3 in one day!! Wish me luck!!

1.My dress came in today!!!!!!! I am so happy! I thought it wasn't going to be here until 5 days before the big day! You would not believe how much the alterations cost! And yes - I am so happy cuz I have to get it taken in instead of out for once! haha
It looks so pretty. I love it!

2. Gotta go see the cake lady tomorrow and pay for my cakes.

3. Gotta get my bouquet from the flower lady.

4. I need candles....lots of fat white candles. (tall and short) *L*

5. I need a silver paint pin

6. Silver spray paint

I think that is all I have left to do. Man the next few days are going to be pretty hectic!!

I also had my shower this past weekend. It went so well. The ladies at the church I go to did an awesome job. I got tons of nice things. I am so tired. I think I could sleep for a week or maybe two.

Ok so 15 days till I get married. I went to do a trial hair appointment because I wasn't exactly sure how I wanted to do my hair. My friend Holly is amazing! After we were done, I looked in the mirror and just started to cry. I still can't believe it. It was so pretty, and I guess it just really hit me - HEY, I'M GETTING MARRIED!! HAHA! I never thought I would be so happy. I think people are getting sick of hearing me say it....but I don't care - I'M SO HAPPY AND I CAN'T WAIT!!!

Ok here we go....I am following the crowd here.


In short...I never ever make resolutions cuz I wind up never doing what I set out to do. This year I am getting married. In 17 days to be exact. I guess my resolution would be to be the best wife I can be.
I'd also like to be more positive about things.
And maybe not to be so judgmental. (this is one I am always having problems with)


Maybe spend a little less time off the computer and actually doing things around the house. Haha! I doubt this one will happen, but we shall see!!

Ok I have been on the search for my old friend Jessie. I lost her phone numbers when I broke my phone awhile back. I could never remember her email address exactly. She is unlisted in the phone book. And on a whim I remembered livejournal. And I can't believe I even remembered my password for this place!! So Jessie if you see this PLEASE CALL ME! I have emailed you my new phone number.

There is so much to say. My life has changed drastically. And for the better I might add. Reading my old entries I was thinking to myself....MAN I WAS MESSED UP! HAHA

I did start to date Jeff. We had a full blown 2 1/2 yr relationship. It went no where. He was good to me and I miss his friendship very much. But things went pretty sour at the end. It did not end pretty. I wish him well in all that he does. And he will always have a place in my heart and memory.

In the midst of all this, I started to explore things with Steve again. We had always kept in touch. Remained good friends throughout my relationship with Jeff. He was always very supportive and happy for me. When things went bad I leaned on him a little more. We both realized we still loved each other very much. The passion was still there. I have always longed for Steve but felt like it was always doomed but time changes everything. Steve and I have both done some major growing up. Gone are the days of him drinking himself into oblivion (did i spell that right?). He finally told me if we got back together he wanted to make me his wife. It has been 4 months now and every day he reminds me of how much he loves me. We are getting married in less than a month!!! I still can't believe it. As you can see in my older blogs, I always thought Steve was my soul mate. I can now say I am the happiest I have ever been and I owe it all to him. He loves me, despite any faults. And the best part is, he isn't afraid to show it or say it. I love him with every part of my being.

After the wedding we are going to a beach for our honeymoon. I can't wait!!!
I will also be moving to the Tulsa area again. I have a few good job prospects, so we shall see.

Weezer is doing well. He is 4 now, soon to be 5 in a month. He is still my spoiled little baby!!

I was up all night with my boyfriend last night. He had a good friend pass away last night due to complications from Diabetes. He was only 35yrs old and his death was very sudden. Jeff was very sad and taking it pretty hard because he had not kept in touch with his friend like he should have. He ran across his number and was going to call him but got too busy and never did. Now his friend is gone and he is feeling much regret about not calling.

I am just sharing this with all of you so you can remember that you should always make time to tell someone that you care or that you love them. Please don't put it off cause you just never know when the last time you see that person will be.

Ok so George, the ghost down here on 4, has decided that he didn't like our printers. He stopped all our printers on this floor. Of corse I am flooded with work that has to be done now!!!! Little does George know, I have friends in high places....Thanks Lys and Jessi for saving the day!!
:)~


BAD GEORGE BAD!!

There has been a ghost in my cube at work for the past 2 days. He keeps opening up my drawers. Maybe I will name him George.....

I am really missing my puppy right now *sigh*

ok well day two that my team lead is not here at work. and when she is not here i get to do her job and my job. my manager runs me crazy because she freaks out whenever she is not here. i hope i have done everything right. i have a feeling that when my team lead gets back she wont be too happy with some of the things that have happened in her absence. ugh.....i have barely been able to do much of my work.
one good thing is that i finally balanced a huge check that i have been working on for 2 days.
well i am hoping things get back to normal by tomorrow.
is there a light at the end of the tunnel??

AAHHHHHHHHHHHHH

I've been on hold for EVER!!!

Dang help desk!!
