I am sitting here at work enjoying my job. Yup it's pretty much awesome.
So there are some things that I am really thankful for tonight and I just want to share about that.
1. I am thankful for my sweet Bryan who brings me happiness and smiles every day.
2. I am thankful for my family who would do anything for me. And that they get so excited to see me all the time.
     a.My papa for taking care of me and my family, for telling ridiculous jokes.
     b.My mama for loving me so much and having lunch with me twice in one day.
     c.My big brother Jon for being there every time I need him, when my car is breaking down, when kids were being mean to me, when I need a few extra bucks, when I just need to talk.
     d.My sweet sister Hannah for all the fun sister talks, for always being honest with me, for laughing at the dumbest things with me, for being such an awesome friend, for getting excited about all the same things as I do.
     e.My little brother Joe for having curly hair that I love to mess up, for telling ridiculous jokes, for being honest with me about everything.
     f. My little brother Isaiah for having the cutest smile, for drawing the coolest pictures for me, for being super chill about everything.
     g. My sweet baby sister Jessica for her sweetness, for letting me win when we play games(even though I should be letting her win), for caring so much about everyone, for getting excited about the same things as me.
3. I am thankful for my boyfriend's family who has shown so much love and acceptance to me, and has helped me out so much since I have been with their Bryan.
     a. Mr Davis for talking to me, and giving Bryan and I advice, for giving us hugs goodbye, and helping us with our cars, and cooking amazing hamburgers for us.
     b. Cindy for being such a great friend, for giving advice, for cooking amazing dinners, for giving rides home, for helping with all the things we know nothing about.
     c. Ginger and her family for delicious dinners, for giving advice, for hugs from McKenna and Jayma.
     d. Brady for smiles and jokes, for hugs and tickles, for silliness and conversations.
     e. Grandmommy for her sweetness, for her hugs and stories, for her genuinely sweet smiles.
4. I am thankful for my brand new car!!!! Well not exactly brand new, but brand new to me. 2007 Volkswagen Rabbit...it's so cute, and fits me perfectly. I am thakful for Tom the sweet old man who sold it to me, for Retha and Rick who helped me figure out if it would be a good deal or not.
5. Once again I must mention my sweet sweet Bryan who has been there helping me along for the past year and five months. I love him so very much, more than words can describe....He is my best friend.
For taking care of me, holding me when I cry, listening to me, talking to me, learning how to have a great relationship along with me. I have told him the way I feel about our love, and I am going to try to describe it right here. I feel like from the moment he and I were together, little strands of love escaped from our hearts and began to intertwine with each other. As we got closer those strands of love tied themselves into knots, and just kept wrapping together and pulling us closer together. The times that we have had problems or arguments some of those strands try to break off and pull back. When that happens we have to put them back together, and sometimes it takes a while. Once it is back together there are scars there, but the ties are stronger this time, and we work harder at not letting them break off because it hurt so much the last time. Over this past year and a half we now have a really big knot of love strands all mixed together, and when we are apart those strands are stretched all the way across town, and that's why we want to be with each other so much, and once we are both home and together our love strands tighten up and hold on for dear life. So I am thakful for our love that we share.
6. Last but not least I am thakful for exccedrin which I am going to take as soon as I get home so this migraine I am begining to get will go away! :)

 This is the closet in the entryway... i absolutely love having this to keep our shoes hidden from the entryway.

 This is the counter top and my cute spice rack :)

 See my little froggy canisters? Granny gave those to me a few years ago and they look super cute in our kitchen.
We are very much loving this new place, its super roomy and has lots of light. Also the apartment people(I don't know what they are called lol) have been super cool, and even given us a few discounts.

My sweet Bryan looks so adorable in these pics(so does Cole) but he doesn't like them so I can't put them on facebook...but I can put them on here for his mother, sister, grandmother, cousin, and aunt and uncle to see lol!

yay to the end of a superexhausting day!!!

Wow! This past week and a half has been  soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo busy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We spent Mon-Thurs boxing everything from our old apartment, trying to squeeze everything in those boxes. Friday we spent the ENTIRE day moving(thanks to Cindy and Mr. Davis it was just Friday, and not like three days) :) They are awesome! We were all so sore and exhausted...who knew we had that much stuff?! I was thankfully able to be off work on Friday, but had to work Saturday and Sunday, which were my last two days in the Medical Records department at the hospital I work at. So I was already exhausted from working my whole work week, but I didn't get my regular Monday and Tuesday off, because I was starting my new job in the MRI department, and I will be off on weekends now. So on Monday I got to actually be in the MRI department and watch the other lady, as she showed me what I will be doing after my three weeks of training. I was pretty happy to learn that I will be using two of the programs that I am already familiar with, Passport and Sequoia, but the main program for checking in patients is called Signature Gold, and I've never even heard of it before. So Monday my brain was tired from trying to comprehend all of the newness on top of my exhaustedness. Tuesday was my first day of the three week patient service specialist class. I will be learning everything there is to know about all of these programs. The class is 8-5, and I am not used to mornings! I have been working 4pm-12:30pm for almost a year now and my mind and body are not enjoying waking up so early, and trying to stuff loads of information in there. In my interview they asked if I could multi-task...I said yes, and I am already multi-tasking in training, listening  to the instructor, while doing my work, and trying not to fall asleep. Once I get home and I am relaxed, I am okay with being awake, because this is the time that my body is used to being awake. I can not wait for Saturday, I believe that I will sleep for about twelve hours at least.

I was kind of sad at first that I was going to be working mornings and not being off on the same day as Bryan anymore, and it still does make me sad that I dont get to see him, but it will all work out and eventually we will be on the same schedule again. He has been the sweetest EVER!!!! When I came home from work on Monday, he had cleaned the entire house. Mopping, laundry, dishes....EVERYTHING!!!!! :))))) and on top of that he bought me gorgeous flowers because he loves me so much...my heart just flutters when I see him, love my sweet Bryan more than anything!!!!

these are the flowers he got me...so pretty!!! :)

whew, i'm about ready to run evening errands, returning videos to take-one, and doing some shopping! Cant wait for my darling man to be home!

colossus-cole our baby :)

This is my sweet baby  Cole :) I love when he sleeps on my lap like this.

 sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo cute when he is sleeping...when he is awake he pees...not so cute, but he is slowwwwwwlyyyyy learning.

such a pretty puppy :)
He went to visit both of his grandmas in the past two days. Last night he had fun playing with his uncle Brady, and Mimi, he loves them both. And today he played with his my brothers and sisters, his other aunts and uncles lol. training him to potty on the pads and outside is definitely a chore, but he is making progress...only one accident inside today. yay! the rest was outside and or on his puppy pad. I love this little guy, and I have my sweet Bryan to thank for getting him for me :)

See the smiles :) thats how happy we are about this little goober

Happy Birthday to my bestest friend Stephanie

Today is my best friend's 20th birthday. We have been friends since we met at age five. She will never know how much she means to me. Stephanie you are the best friend a girl could have!!! I remember when we would go to each others houses and play our imaginary games about princesses, and star wars. The time when we had a sleepover with me you and Hannah at your house, and we thought we saw batman outside the window and we were so scared. Makes me laugh to think about it, me pinching y'all with my toes and us giggling and laughing. I miss our little birthday parties from when we were kids. I remember us getting in trouble at the nursing home with your parents, because we were giggling and reading books during the preaching service, and afterwards while at the grocery store we tasted the coffee beans cause they smell soooooooooooo good!!! Haha we spit those out immediately :) Our little clubs we started, where we would both be the leader so neither of us would be mad. Our rules about being kind, and always being obedient to our parents...our innocent little minds, so precious. You taught me how to crochet, and use your little weaving loom, you taught me how to be kind, and polite(my mama always commented on how well behaved you were and it made me jealous of the attention, so I would try to be better heehee, it worked!) you have always treated me with respect, and have been so honest with me, and i love you for it. You are one person who I can trust with anything. And when my family moved here to Texas, I missed you dearly, but our friendship was more than just childish playing, because it lasted even through all the miles we were apart. I keep the letters from you in my keepsake box(i'm working on a scrapbook for them now I have some from when we were like six). And when your family finally came to see us, and we had not seen each other in years, we said we wont let it be weird! We will be just as good of friends as when we were  little, and we were! Staying up til way too late talking about everything under the sun, from boys to food, to talking about our futures and what would happen in our lives, what we hoped for, and what we planned. The next time we saw each other was after a few more years, and that's just how it has been, every couple of years we see each other, older, wiser, but still the best of friends. Last time I saw you was at your wedding as I stood by you as your maid of honor(makes me want to cry when I think of what an honor that really was) you being so grown up, with the love of your life, ready to begin your lives together. I remember thinking, If he hurts her, I am going to punch him right in the face lol. But lucky for him he has treated you good, and has taken care of you and little Amelia. I so cant wait to meet her, if she is anything like you I know she is a wonderful child. The next time I see you we will once again be a little older, a little wiser, and have more life experience, but we will still be the best of friends, always and forever, and when we get to Heaven we can live right next door to each other, I'm sure if we ask Him God will let us, lol. So I have said all this to say, Happy Birthday Stephanie Marie, you are the greatest friend.

the confusion of my mind

so last night, as bryan and i were lying in bed watching tv, we were being silly and trying to lick each other's noses(our favorite game lol) and he says, this is the lizzy i like best :) so i was like, what do you mean? i'm the same lizzy all the time. he said, noooooo sometimes you are happy lizzy, and thats the lizzy i like best, but sometimes you are silly lizzy, and grumpy lizzy, and scary lizzy and when you are like that its like you aren't yourself (i dont get the scary  one...but he says when i'm upset i have a scary mean face lol i think its his imaginiation)also he said i am the bomb lizzy, and amazing lizzy, and lovey lizzy, and sweet lizzy and kind lizzy, and super awesome lizzy...lol i just made up the last ones if you couldn't tell(i'm in a silly mood right now, and for some reason i am LOVING parentheses. i even like the way its spelled lol) ..but the first ones are the ones he said. and i was like no, i dont act that different when i'm in different moods...but then when i think about it...maybe ya i guess sometimes i'm different. in fact i know for  a fact i'm different when i'm in weird moods, i just dont like to admit it. its like weakness or something...a weakness i dont want. i want to be completely composed all the time, but i just keep failing at that. am i the only one??? when i think about me being grumpy, wow ya i'm kind of unpleasant to be around, and my brothers and sisters used to laugh at me when i would get mad and tell me i looked funny, so that must be the scary face.(some say my nostrills flare...and that is pretty creepy i saw it in the mirror once.) i dont understand why sometimes i can stay calm and act like a grown up, but then the next thing i know....here i am going off in some weird mood...having a bad attitude...being grumpy.. and really that isnt me!!!! i feel like i'm happy most all the time. bryan and i were talking to brady the other night about how to controll the way we act when things upset us.
most of the time i can just tell myself it doesnt matter and i stay happy, and in a good mood. but here is what i dont understand, i told brady just the other day, if you are having a bad day, vent to someone who will listen, take care of it at that time and you will feel better, and when you are having a bad day just tell yourself to be happy...thats what i usually do. but what do you know the day right after that i had trouble at work....and sure i controlled myself while at work, but on lunch break i just broke down and cried, and was so upset, and grumpy too. so bryan being so sweet tries to remind me of what i just told brady the day before, and i decided i'm a hypocrite cause i just couldnt do it. i just needed to be upset for a while. now how can i say one thing, and then go off and do the complete opposite???? i absoultely hate that :( so ya....this was kind of just mumblejumble thoughts of mine poorly put together, dont judge me lol :)
