Mr & Mrs Smith

Rand will be sad/mad if I don't acknowledge that he helped us unload all our stuff. He drove 1.5 hours from Charlotte just to help us do so and we appreciate him & his friend. Again, I got out of the heavy lifting (the big things ya know; I'm not completely useless). I love family. I hope I can give back to them what they give to me one day. We live on the third floor. Yeah, we now have sexy legs (not that this was never the case). Who said cellulite wasn't hot?!? Good thing I only wear my long shorts these days. Except for when I exercise. Right.  I'm sure I'll make time for that soon.  It's right next to waller on the couch and eat popcorn so it's hard. So vacation. It went a little like: What the freak was I thinking making us drive another 4 hours 2 days later. I'm retarded. Babe, you want to drive, right? Mr Smith: Yes dear, it will be fine.  The resort we stayed at in Williamsburg was nice... Free game of +3 mini-golf ; I s...

Okay okay already. Maybe I like being dead to the world? SO so much has been happening that when I stop, I just head for the bed. True story. So while we weren't blogging . . .  I quit my job, Eric graduated, we said goodbye to the in-laws, packed up the Uhaul and two cars, moved 5.5 hours SW, unloaded, went on a mini-vacation, I had my first interview in 1.7 years, and we went shopping to a billion and one stores. We are proud to announce that the Smiths are new Costco members. We've been two days in the two days we've had it, and will probably go back tomorrow because Mr Smith really wants that TV and it turns out the tinfoil is cheaper. Plus free food Saturday - we'll be there . the analysts at 2020 Company, LLC - my last day of work! Cheers to unemployment! It's Memorial weekend and you know what . . . that means I turn 24. Freakin scary, but I love both of those numbers so maybe it'll be a great year. I'm hoping Mr Smith will just g...

A few quotes . . . nothing but the truth “Better to remain silent and be thought a fool, than to speak and remove all doubt.” - Abraham Lincoln (paraphrase from the Bible, ‘Proverbs’ 17:28) “Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit; Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.” - Brian Gerald O’Driscoll Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realize you’re wrong”  - Unknown “When I die, I want to die like my grandfather who died peacefully in his sleep. Not screaming like all the passengers in his car.”  - Will Rogers “By working faithfully eight hours a day you may eventually get to be boss and work twelve hours a day.” - Robert Frost I officially become unemployed today! so ya know, life is great and I need to find a new job. but first things first another sight seeing tour of DC because guess who is in town!? the in-laws!! they are the best for driving all the way our here and lugging Eric's stuff ...

Mothers are wonderful because no one will ever have your back more growing up and they may still throw a few punches in your favor even when you've "grown up" and married and all that jazz. Then they turn into perfect grandmothers. (but the time period in between the mother of a child and a grandmother is slightly painful for both sides!!) Happy Mother's Day ,  "Sisters, wherever you are, whatever your circumstances may be, you are not forgotten. No matter how dark your days may seem, no matter how insignificant you may feel, no matter how overshadowed you think you may be, your Heavenly Father has not forgotten you. In fact, He loves you with an infinite love." -Dieter F Uchtdorf

White Collar and Chocolate Ice cream with Mr Smith are probably my current most favorite things (but they must be experienced all at once) Maybe I'm okay with being a homebody. This name-all-the-countries quiz kept me preoccupied today as well.  I felt like a loser at first, but it's okay - you have to learn at some point.  I'm also trying to understand Access for potential job qualifications That one class I took 2 years ago just isn't cutting it. I also came across a wonderful quote in my preparation for job hunting season: "In the end it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years" -Abraham Lincoln We move in - 8 days

Not everything is explainable because not everything is understandable by minds veiled from ultimate and complete truth, but we know enough where excuses don't matter. We can know our limits. We must stop our minds of worry because there are lessons we should be learning now that we must not overlook. There are a lot of "whys" that won't be answered to the detail that we think we deserve, or need, to keep moving.  God loves us and we're here to learn and prove ourselves worthy of eternal glory; sometimes I think what matters most is how . How can we know and how can we move forward. When I focus too much on the why, I seem to get more lost and stagnant. (not to downplay good reasoning, never would I do that, I'm just simply stating that we cannot let it distract us). So - how can I learn truth, truth that is relevant to me right now; how can I do something that makes the most difference. How can I become that person I want to be, the person Christ ...

I'm not sure when I thought it was okay to say "I'm going on a run." Probably because I just wanted to keep up with all the cool people I admire. More like "I'm going on a death jog - never - never - running" Any way, I checked it off. What seemed like a nice, cool after-shower, quickly became 100% humidity and a heart attack. I really want to keep up some sort of regular increased heart rate exercise. I want to get a stronger heart almost as much as I want a hard butt. Running. Mr Smith's answer to most of my woes is running. Sigh. I admire him and his sexy butt. Oh yeah, he's going to love this post. He is away helping Rachel & Reagan create a pocket door. I know he's excited to finally get his hands on his tools again, so I'm all for making use of them. I'd still love to see him and his tool belt. Yeah, I think I could easily pull up a chair with my lemonade  orange-orange Vitamin water and stare at that shirt off and ...
