“Yep, she’s a country girl, alright.”

That’s all J had to say after visiting my parents this past weekend.

I did tell him they lived in the middle of a national forest.

We had a great time. BBQ’d, watched movies during the rain — up until the power went out. Yep, you read right - the power went out for SIX HOURS while we were visiting my parents. This happened because of a HUGE storm that blew through while we were there.

Talk about scary!

Anyway, I’m not feeling very well at the moment, but I wanted to mention my awesome holiday weekend. How was yours?

This is going to be interesting!

It’s been a few months since I’ve blogged about my weight. Let’s just say, I’m ashamed. I’m chubby. While I’ve grown rather fond of breasts that are larger than a B cup, something has got to be done about my weight. I’ve gone from a size 7 to a size 11.

So I’m going to start watching what I’m eating, and exercising frequently. However, this is where the story gets interesting — Jason is underweight. Yeah, you read that right. Underweight.

I have no idea how, or why, but he’s like.. 20+ pounds lighter than he should be. So we’re going to work on a lifestyle to help him gain weight, while I’m trying to lose weight. Which is going to make cooking dinner quite interesting, to say the least.

If anybody has tips for either of us — how to lose or to gain weight, please comment with them!

Anyway, in other news — it’s been a couple of days since I’ve blogged because the weekend was quite interesting. We partied with a friend on Friday night (partied a little TOO hard, might I add), and spent most of Saturday recovering from it. On Sunday we went for a nature walk through a local wildlife refuge. It was so awesome; I’ll try to upload the pictures sometime soon, but I have to find where I packed my camera cable.

I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend! What are your plans for Memorial Day weekend? We’re going to Wisconsin to visit my parents.

The dust is settling!

We’ve moved into our new place. It’s only blocks away from the Mall of America (how awesome is that, girls?!), and like 15 minutes away from J’s work. Which is awesome, because he was spending at least $400 a month on gas living where he was before.

The new place is going to take some getting used to; it’s nothing special, but it just needs a feminine touch. I’ll TRY to post some pictures once things get looking a little better, but right now there’s boxes in every corner and the furniture isn’t even completely arranged yet.

However, I like our new place. It’s nice to be out from under J’s old roommate. He was a very negative person and I don’t care to be around people like that.

Thanks everybody for the comments on the last entry! It means a lot.. I’m glad to see I still have people out there reading this stuff.

I’ll update more later; I have some unpacking to do! Hope everyone’s weekend went well! ♥

It feels like a lifetime.

It’s been forever since I’ve blogged. I’m not really on hiatus anymore; hopefully now I’ll have the motivation to update again. I have some insane news. SO much has changed since I last blogged (hence this entry’s title).

Nick and I broke up right before our 1 year anniversary. He decided he wanted to be single.
Okay.. I dealt with that.
Then my childhood sweetheart (long story short: we’ve known one another since I was 8 years old, and we’ve dated off and on throughout our lives) walked back into my life. However, instead of falling head over heels in love with him again, I fell for his best friend.

Another long story short, I packed my bags, and left Wisconsin. I’m living in Minnesota.

Am I crazy? Probably. But you only live once.

Working like crazy!

This is my first full-time job, so I’m trying to get accustomed to the whole.. 8 hours a day, 5 days a week thing. But it’s going well so far. As I said before, I love it there. The environment is wonderful, my co-workers are friendly, and it’s just a great place. Hopefully it’ll remain that way.. lol!

Let’s see.. what else to talk about.. well, my mom called me crying the other night because their bills are stacking up, and they’re actually thinking about taking my mom to court over it. Needless to say, she’s scared out of her mind. So any bit of help would be VERY much appreciated; I’m going to give her as much of my paycheck as possible, but if you’d like to donate too, I’d love you VERY much! My PayPal address is shown on the left sidebar. (It’s the same as my contact address.) A dollar, fifty cents, whatever.. I just want to help my mom as much as I can. Oh, and I forgot to add that Amber donated recently as well. Thanks so much, hun! It means a lot.

Well, I have to get going. After work tonight I’m driving to Mom&Dad’s. I’m going to visit them for the first time in a couple of weeks.. I miss them TONS! So hopefully that drive goes well (since I don’t get off of work until 11pm.. lol, oh well).

Anyway, I hope everyone is doing well, and I promise I’m going to start commenting on everyone’s blogs again.. I’ve just been SO busy lately! *hugs to everyone* Take care, and have a great weekend!
