| Hallo Everyone.
So, I have an update for everyone. I am definitely NOT
pregnant. I went to the doctor, had some bloodwork done, and she
says that all the big changes in my life are just catching up with
me. Yay!
My puppy got into a fight last night with another dog. It was
sad. The other dog was way bigger and Samson had no chance,
although he tried. The other dog lives in our apartment building
and has never liked Samson. I took him outside and her owners
didn't have a leash on her, so it was really hard to get them
apart. She chipped his leg bone, and now he hops around on three
legs, looking very sad and pathetic. He's so cute. He has
to stay still for 2-3 weeks, which is going to be tough, because he's a
high energy dog. My poor baby!
Anyway...in other sad news, I lost my job. I made a mistake and
they decided it wasn't forgiveable or worth a second chance, so they
let me go. Oh well. They were probably going to make pay
cuts anyway because they were doing badly, and I'd have had to find
another job anyway. So, I've been relaxing, spending time with
Samson and my husband, whenever he's not working, and just enjoying
myself. I got my petnets for my stuffed animals up, and I put up
a picture, and I've been doing some other work around the house, so
it's going good. But, I do need to find a job soon, so if I could
just put that up as a prayer request and people could pray, that'd be
great.
I gots to go tend to my puppy. Talk to ya'lls later.

| Hallo Everyone.
So, I had a really bad day yesterday. I felt awful, like kind of nauseous, but not throw-up nauseous. And I was so tired. Church was horrible. I wanted to listen. I couldn't concentrate for the life of me though. My eye was bugging me. I didn't put my contacts in because my eyes hurt when I woke up. So, all day it felt like something was in my eye. I really dislike that feeling. I took a nap in the afternoon after Tim made me some toast. That was nice. I slept for three or so hours. When I woke up, I felt kind of rested but still really tired. I'm going to see a doctor this week, hopefully. Tim has a doctor, so he's going to call her and see if she'll take me on as a patient. I don't really want to go because they're gonna want to take a blood test and I hate needles. I don't greatly dislike them, I HATE them. So that will be fun. I hope I'm just iron-deficient. That would be all right with me. I don't want to be anemic. I don't want to be pregnant (for those of you who read Sarah's comment, I AM NOT PREGNANT, if anybody reads my site at all). Anyway.
Samson, my dog, is getting better at following commands. Somewhat. Instead of choking himself on his leash trying to smell everything at once, he now walks somewhat calmly. That's a good thing. He comes to us now. Mostly. He still comes as if he thinks he's in trouble, even though he's not. It's so cute. He sits. He lays down after we tell him to a couple of times. He stays. He's learning. He's a very good dog. We still have to lock him in a crate when we're gone because he still chews on our stuff. Bum dog. Oh well.
Tim and I have found a church to call home. For the time being. The pastor is an amazing guy. He's very people oriented. It's big, but not too big. They only have one service which is nice, so everyone who goes there is there at the same time. We knew some people who went there before we started going, so it created a sense of familiarity. We didn't feel like the "new guys" or the "visitors". I've always hated that feeling. Never gotten used to it, even though I am an officer's kid. Marie loves that feeling. She loves the change. I hate it. I like roots. I don't like constant change. I think that's part of why I married someone outside of the Salvation Army. No chance of being an officer, unless it's out of the blue from God. I needed someone who would set roots with me, and God let me right to him. I love my husband. He's so awesome. And just to clarify, I'm not saying anything against the Army. I love it with all my heart! How could I not? The life of an officer is not the life for me. Neither is the change of being a soldier in the Army, trying to get used to a new officer every three to four years. I wouldn't be able to do that. It takes alot for me to trust someone to lead me spiritually. I trust Tim, and I did it fairly quickly, but I think God had a huge hand in that, and I thank Him for it.
Well, that's enough for today. Got to get back to work. Talk to ya'lls later. | | |

So, my puppy is a total cutie! He's so adorable! He loves to snuggle. In the morning, he'll come and lay down next to me and lay his head across my neck. He's so cute. And when he wants us to wake up, he'll come up to us and lick one of our faces, then lay down right there, with his nose touching one of our noses. It's so funny. I love my puppy. (Oh, just so you know, he's not a puppy. He's actually 1 year old. But I'll always call him my puppy.)
I've been really tired for the past month. Like super tired. No matter how much or how little sleep I get. I always want to lay down or take a nap. I don't have mono. I'm not pregnant. I could be anemic. Or my iron could be low. Who knows? I think I should see a doctor. Problem is, I don't have a doctor. I don't feel like finding one either. Argh. Oh well.
I gotta go. Work stuff to be done. Talk to ya'lls later. | | |

Guess what?!?!?!?!?! Tim got me a dog for Christmas!!!! He didn't go out and buy/adopt one, though. We both had yesterday off, and he gave me an early Christmas present. A trash can with a dog dish inside it. We went to the humane society and looked at the dogs, and they were all so cute, and I wanted to take them all home with me, because they looked so sad in their cages, and I actually started crying. I thought I was never going to be able to choose just one dog. It came down to two dogs - this little border collie mix and a three-legged dog. They were both so adorable. I really wanted the three legged dog, but he was a little bit too big for our little apartment. So, we got the border collie. He's one year old and a very cute dog. He's already pretty much housebroken. We've only had one accident in our house, and one in my parents house. As soon as I get pictures of him, I'll put them on my site. He's so adorable. This was why Tim kept telling me no, that we're not getting a dog. He was getting me one for Christmas. He's so sneaky. He's really good at keeping secrets too. He said it was really hard though. He's such a sweetheart. They both are. Tim and the dog. I wish you all could meet him. Both of them if you haven't met Tim yet.

| Hallo Everyone!
So, Christmas is coming. I'm excited, because this Christmas will be different from the most recent 20 I've experience. I have a husband and two families to spend time with, and they are both awesome. But I also don't always look forward to Christmas. Growing up in a Salvation Army Officer's home was awful at Christmastime. My parents were never home and that kind of defeated the whole Christmas-is-a-time-for-family thing, for our family at least.
But...I am looking forward to Christmas this year. I've got a wonderful husband. I've got two wonderful families. I've got awesome friends. I've already spent a ton of time with my mom this year. It almost sounds like I'm celebrating Thanksgiving again. Well, we should be thankful all year round, shouldn't we? God has given me so much, just in my husband. (That's still really weird. "Husband". Wow. How long does it take to get used to it?) What are you all thinking of this Christmas? Are you thinking of what you're going to get? Do you stop to think about what you've already received? God's Son. It just overwhelms me. I try to think on God giving the world His Son, and my brain just can't handle it. (And for those of you who know me, don't laugh because I'm blonde. You try and contemplate the "why" of God. It'll overwhelm you, too.) He's just too great for words.
My mom and I baked cookies this year. We've done that a couple of times over the years. Baking with my mom was something I wanted to do every year, but we couldn't because of how busy Christmas got, and also because my mom hates cooking of any kind. We had a ton of fun.
Anyway, I'm done reminiscing. I just want to wish everyone a
MERRY CHRISTMAS!
(NOT "happy holidays" - IT IS CHRISTMAS TIME! NOT JUST THE "holiday season". Please don't be afraid to wish someone "Merry Christmas" because they might be offended. It's not about what you wish someone anyway.)
*Remember -- it's about Christ.* -- And why He came to earth.
