A week from today we'll be leaving for vacation! Gosh, I'm so ready. I need this break. Even though this was a short work week, it just wasn't my week. It seems like everyday I got hit left and right with something all day each day. Oh well. Part of life, right?
My sister graduated high school last night! I'm very proud of her. The valedictorian spoke about doing what you want to do with your own life and taking the path less traveled. I thought that was really great. After all, that's what I did. Most people my age have graduated college or will be within the next year. For so long I felt... not inferior...not ashamed...more like "I should have stayed in school". I don't feel like that so much anymore. I did the school thing for two and a half years, and never was I ever great at it. Even after my first semester I was tired of it. So...after 5 semesters I decided to take some time off. End the end, it worked out just fine for me!
Last night I ran into a girl who I graduated with. We were chatting about what we were up to these days. I told her about being married, having a house, and our three dogs (no human kids yet!). Her response was "that's so awesome. It's like a fairy tale!". Well, I don't know so much about it being a fairy tale. We still have our issues...money stress like everyone, a wasp nation in our front tree, one dog who likes to run away just because she's curious, a lawn that really needs to be mowed twice a week because it grows so fast, dinner to be cooked even when we're so tired after work, oh and a ridiculous amount of laundry to do every week. It really is pretty great though.
If you haven't heard "We Weren't Crazy" by Josh Gracin, I highly recommend you do. Now!

Wednesday
Where do I begin? Something about blogging has always seemed calming to me. Maybe I like the journal/diary feeling of it. Maybe I like looking back on things I've done or said. Or maybe I just want others to know how fabulous my life is. Only joking. ;)
Life has been pretty great lately. Our house...well there is nothing in the world to complain about there. I won't lie... houses are expensive, but it's worth it. There really is nothing better than going home to your house (it must be clean, of course). Our dogs are so happy too. It's awesome to see how they've changed and how much they love their backyard... not our backyard, their's. Personally, I think this house was one of the best decisions Taylor & I ever made. We had our families over for Memorial Day. That was a blast. Most of you don't know, but my husband is the best cook on the face of the planet. Really, he is. For our Memorial Day shindig he made brisket, his own bbq sauce, hot dogs, and everyone brought something too. It all was delish. I'm getting hungry just thinking about it, but then again when am I not hungry? :)
Work is... work. Nothing to complain about there either. Sit in my cube, do my stuff, get paid, and I enjoy my co-workers. That's always a plus! It's been a little lonely in the office this week though. My "suite mate" is out of town so it's been a little boring. She'll be back next week, and we leave for vacation the following weekend. There will be lots to catch up on when I return.
Speaking of work... if you do not work with your boyfriend, girlfriend, fiance, husband, wife, or whatever... I highly recommend it. Having Taylor around the office has been amazing. Everyone told us we'd get sick of each other and yada, yada, yada. Well, they were wrong. You know, it works out really well. We ride in together, go our separate ways, see each other MAYBE 3 times throughout the day, and then go home. I'm a busy girl and he's a busy boy. It's so nice. If I am having a bad day all I have to do is call him up, and we'll go take a break and I get a hug to make it all better. It's also great when I need to tell him something important (or not so important, but I just want to share), he's right down the hall! I don't have to sit on hold on the Chili's phone for 15 minutes just for him to be rushed when he finally picks up. Oh, Chili's...
I suppose I should tie up my lose ends before going home.
The countdown to the beach is on!
