and scared.
i hate being home alone!!! i am house sitting for jordan's mother this weekend, taking care of max, angus and billy the bird. this is all fine and dandy but when the sun sets and its time to sleep...i get scared. i dont know why i have this issue. i lived alone for a year. but still, i even get scared when staying at my own parents house alone. i just cant sleep in houses when there is nobody else home.
this is definitely an issue i need to resolve considering my new military lifestyle. but hey, i will be on base, so they are going to protect me with their guns and stuff...right???
Now I would like to give a more general update: my last post said that I got engaged but I feel that I was vague. I am 8 weeks pregnant tomorrow and if I were not, I wouldn't be engaged. That is not to say that we would not be engaged eventually but this wonderful surprise has moved our plans up and changed them drastically. The events that have been unfolding over the last couple of months has been such a blessing. I don't think this could have turned out any better. I have loved Jordan since the moment I met him and I have known that he was "the one" since then as well. I know that is really cheesy sounding but it's true!
We first took a home pregnancy test on Jan. 10, the night before I left for school. I wasn't surprised at the results but I did feel kind of shocked. I mean, there I was, car packed and ready to go, about to move 3 hours away from my family and boyfriend and I have a positive pregnancy test in my hand. I really didn't even believe it at first. It definitely was bad timing, that I had to move away the very next morning and deal with all the emotions that followed that news by myself. Of course, I have gotten through it with Jordan's loving support every step of the way and now I am just so excited to plan all the changes that this will bring.
One thing we agreed on is that we wanted to be married before the baby came. We didn't have a huge time frame to work with because the baby is due Sept. 24, Jordan is going to boot camp in May and of course, I am a full-time student this semester. We decided that spring break would be a good time to do it since I have a week off from school and Jordan will still be in Dallas. After looking at honeymoon options and what kind of wedding we could reasonably have with so little time to plan, we decided to take an Eastern Caribbean cruise and get married on the ship. I guess you could say we are eloping! We will be getting married March 12 in St. Thomas, US Virgin Islands, which is coincidentally the 3 month mark for our baby! I am so so so excited about this. I have a beautiful dress and I am marrying the most wonderful guy. Plus, I have never been on a cruise and I am looking forward to this so much. I haven't decided what I am going to do about the swim suit situation though. I don't think I will be showing yet but I am not sure I want to pull a Nicole Richie-bikini belly thing. I am kind of dreading the weight gain.
And the final big change in my life right now: I have decided to finish this semester. Finishing school and getting my degree is very important to me and I hope to finish that sooner than later. I am just going to be chipping away at it until I am done while I am tackling motherhood and being a wife and living in a different state--my final big change! This summer, after Jordan is done with boot camp, we will be moving to San Diego for at least 8 months, maybe longer.
All of this is great news and I am so happy right now!
As of February 1, 2008, I am officially engaged! So happy!!
I am really enjoying myself here. I am settled into my dorm, my classes today were entertaining and fun and the meal plan food isn't that bad. Plus, I never have to drive anywhere. The 2 classes I had today are Communication Law and Spanish. Tomorrow I have Newswriting, Geology and another communication class in a big lecture hall. I am taking 17 hours. I can't wait for tomorrow. GOODNIGHT!
I think I posted here a few weeks ago that I had started my moving out process. HA! I take that back. The moving out process began yesterday. I am so determined to just get this over with after the labors of yesterday. I had 2 pieces of furniture (a bedside table and a dresser) that I got from a neighbor who has going to throw them away...and for good reason. Now that I am moving, I really don't want to keep any of my free, cheap and/or junky furniture so I decided to go ahead and throw away the 2 pieces of furniture that were destined for the trash anyway. OKAY! I am not very strong and apparently have no common sense when it comes to lifting something that is much more bulky than it is heavy. I decided to carry the bedside table in front of my by the corners in a way that my knees bumped it every time I took a step. Down 2 flights of stairs. Smart. Luckily, the Big Guy was watching out for me because when I came around the corner, my awkwardly cute, emo neighbor boy took the table from me, hoisted it over his shoulder and took it the rest of the way without trouble. Sigh!!! I miss my boyfriend. And I wish I had bigger muscles. Thank you, neighbor, wherever you are! Oh yeah..in 318. So, aside from getting that furniture out, I also managed to load a bunch of my junk that I should never keep into my car for storage at my parents house. My dorm room is so tiny I don't think I am even going to be able to bring everything that I need. So, the books, the boxes of pictures from birth to present, my trinkets and leftovers from hobbies gone wrong...all must stay in Dallas.
After I did this (which took all day and was a much bigger task than I am making it sound like) I came to my parents house, pigged out and watched TV! Alone. Jordan went to Colorado yesterday (Saturday) and he isn't going to be back until Wednesday. OMG! I know it's really not a big deal in the grand scheme of things but I have seen him every.single.day. since we met. I don't know what to do with myself. Sure, I am being really productive and getting things done that I would have put off in favor of spending time with him, but what the heck! This is making me so sad about going to college in less than a month. Because when I go to college...it's not going to be a 4 day separation. It's going to be weeks...and months. and He is going to bootcamp in Chicago for 2 months and I will be in East Texas. It is definitely worth it to me to wait for him and do the distance thing, I would just rather not if I had the option. But mannnn I really miss him...a lot more than I thought I would too :)
Well, I have things to do. Then, I am going to see Juno! Bye guys :)
I don't even want to start this post the way it is starting in my head because I have read it so many times before. But aren't cliches and catch phrases just that for a reason? They are true and commonly express what many people want to say. So...let me just say it. I've been a bad blogger. Neglectful. While I do devotedly read each and every post in my neighborhood on a daily basis, I rarely comment and I'm sure many of you have even forgotten about me. I wrapped up my semester yesterday with my biology exam that I am certain I bombed. If I did, however, it is only a minor setback because I am headed to Stephen F. Austin State University next month. UNIVERSITY! Finally. I am thrilled. I am officially majoring in Journalism with a minor in Spanish. I really can't wait. So now, here I am. Sitting in my underwear on the couch with a throbbing headache and too much time on my hands. I got my first cold of the season and it probably won't go away any time soon. Great!! I am going to post some more pictures from the Halloween party I went to with Giulia and some random camera phone pictures that I just want on here. I feel like I really can't give a thorough update because there is too much to say so I am just going to make an effort to be more current in the future.
YALL!!! I am so happy. haha no but seriously. Everything is going my wayaayayayyayaayyyy
Today I took Jordan to meet my grandmother Honey in the nursing home and I don't know if she couldn't hear/understand me or what but she kept calling him GORDY!!!
That was my LOL moment of the day. Gordy :) hahaha
Also, Jordan thought it would be a good idea to vacuum my apartment. Let me preface this by saying that A) I don't own a vacuum. B) I have vacuumed my apartment twice since moving in March 15 and C) I owned a long-haired cat for most of this time...so yeah. By the time he was done, the vacuum was completely FULL of cat hair and dust and whatever else he sucked off my floor. GROSS! But my apartment is so clean now. I can't believe what a difference that makes.
I am going to Corpus Christi next weekend to celebrate LZ's 21st birthday. I can't wait. All my friends are turning 21 and I feel left out. I'm heading out...I don't like posting without pictures. BYE!
