ok soooooooooooo i havent posted iiiiiiiiiiiiiin... yeah. forever. pretty much. so. heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeere weeeeeeeeeeeeee goooooooooooooo! off to neverland!
...
ok. yeah. anyway.
so... i dont even really remember when i last posted. but. we are in our new apartment. even though we have only physically been HERE for a couple weeks we have technically lived here for a bit over a month. so far its pretty much awesome. bills are not. but. so far we are doing really well with money junk and have both managed to save enough before we moved to be pretty comfortable. so that is happy. we had our first get together at the apartment on tuesday night. and other than our friends being crazy loud and me being afraid our neighbors would hate us forever, it was really fun. good food, good friends, good times :)
aaaaaaaaaand i am married. weird. i have sucessfully changed my name on most of my important documents and suchlike. i still need to call my credit card peoples and tell them and get to the post office and pick up some change of address forms (i think this is where you do this? i am pretending.) other than that i am officially lindsey elizabeth ford bochniak everywhere else. i got my first paycheck from cvs today with my name change on it. and i got my new voter card in the mail. i am afraid to tear it out of the little perferations though because my name is so long that the k will get torn off if i do. not sure if i need to get that fixed or if it matters... but yeah. so. tn was fun. crazy but fun. only a few tiny snaffus with the actual wedding. everything went pretty much smoothly. biggest mishap being that the caterers were late. but. the food was there by the time -i- got downstairs so i didnt really care much. only sucky thing is that i was running around so much at the reception i never actually got a piece of my own wedding cake. lame. anyhoo. i dont know who all actually reads this but i want to thank everyone that made it up there for the wedding. and everyone that went out of their way to be there for me and to make my life easier. i love you guys like whoa. i wish i could have somehow transported the church down here so more of my friends could have made it. but. having the wedding in that church meant a lot to me and to my family and i'm really glad that that all worked out. and it actually worked out pretty nicely for his family as well because they only had to come half as far! :) there were a few people i missed though. katie blanko and her family missed as well which was super sad. also bill and joan which made me sad also. kristin couldnt make it and kidwell i think had planned to and i never got the full story there. but jon did make it which was cool. and katie bailey and mike made it even though the rest of the family couldnt. and i was super excited about that. i was really suprised about how many people DID come. it was pretty amazing. aparently i'm not as anonymous and forgettable as i sometimes feel like i am. i still cant really believe it. but yeah. everything was pretty awesome. charles and i were so tired after such a full week. we spent our first day out in az just chilling. but even though we were exhausted the honeymoon was pretty awesome as well. we both absolutly loved arizona. and the sedona area was soooooooooooo pretty! we fantasized a little about living somewhere out there someday. which. who knows. there's no telling at this point where we could end up! :) the best part about the whole thing was just getting to spend so much time together just us. no family, no work. just us. i think, because of this trip, we are if possible even closer than before. we spent tons of time just talking. about everything and nothing at all. it was wonderful. i wasnt in a huge hurry to get married. like most of this was because of the airforce and being able to stay together. but. now that we are... i'm glad that we are. i could not imagine being with anyone else. he makes me so happy. i'm sorry i'm kind of gushing a bit. but. yeah.
in other news... life goes on pretty much as normal. i'm really rather fed up with both of my jobs. but i've decided for the time being that there is really no point trying for something else. so. for now anyway, i am not looking. i talked to mom about it a bit and she agreed that i should probably just chill for now. although, things at the vet are getting crappier than ever. one of the only other worthwhile people in kennel just left for college. and the other is going to start training to move up as a techician. so. if things continue in this vein it will be lindsey and a bunch of stupid high school newbies. and half of the kennel staff will be like 16 and under. it sucks. beeeeecause since i'm will be the only competent one left.... guess who will catch all the crap for things not getting done? me. right now it is tanya. but as soon as she makes tech... it will be super suckage for lindsey! yay! so. charles and i have been talking recently and looking at money stuff. and we've come to the conclusion that when we find out definitively when he is leaving and we get all his orders and what not... that i'm just going to put in my two weeks. and i'll just see if i can pick up more hours at cvs. but. if not. we will be okay until he leaves. so its really just not worth it anymore. i mean i really appreciate kathy helping me out and giving me my old job back when i needed it... and i feel bad about leaving her with a bunch of worthless idiots... but.... she DID hire those worthless idiots... and she knew going in that i didnt intend to be there long. certainly not this long. i've been there over a year now. not counting the summer i worked before. super suckage. so. there's that.
sort of vet related... spencer is still on her meds. we took her in before we left for tn to get her rechecked. dr. lowery said she was looking better and she lowered one of her meds. it has been a few weeks now and i think she is looking worse again. i dont see her much since she's still living at my parents but i try to go by to see everyone pretty often. from what i've seen though, her breathing is looking a bit rough again... i dont know if its because of the lower dose or if she's just getting worse. i'm thinking of talking my parents into taking her in again. or i may just try to talk to dr. lowery and see if we can try changing her meds back w/ out another check to see how she does. it is already weird not having her around all the time since we are in the apartment. i would have brought her if i could have. but i dont think she would have taken the move very well. it is upsetting to think of not having her around at all. everytime i go home i try to spend some time with her. she is getting much more lovey and cuddly now. which, for anyone that knows spencer at all, she has never been a cuddler. so that is kinda scary. i am hoping that if anything does happen that i'm still here when it does.
and for something else health related... we found out after we got back from az that ricky (of rick and linda- the couple that decorated the reception hall for my wedding. my amazing and wonderful godparents.) has been diagnosed with stage 4 brain cancer. he has been feeling poorly lately and the doctors couldnt figure out what was wrong. and this is what they ultimately found. i am really super scared and upset about this. and i really dont know what to do with myself. from what i understand though... it may not be as bad as they origionally thought. ricky wanted them to just go ahead and do the surgery but they talked him into getting a biopsy first. which they did this week i think. and they will get the results from that and put together the surgery team based on their findings next week. i think they were saying that the only part of his brain that it could/should affect at this point should things go badly is his speech centers. which. is still freaking scary. rick and lin are like another set of parents for me. and... its hard to think about the world without your parents in it. as much as you logically know that it will eventually happen... its just like... inconcievable. and its the same with them. they've been there my whole life and i love them more than i can even possibly say and i am scared. the doctors are saying that his chances with treatment and recovery are very very good. but. i am still scared. i called amanda after i found out and basically broke down on her. i felt so bad. but. i knew she would understand this. mom was calling me with updates and i havent heard anything in a couple days so i'm assuming there is nothing much to hear. we are having dinner with my parents tomorrow night though so i will hopefully get more information then if there is any to have. i went home a few days ago to hang out with mom for a bit. rick and lin had made some joke about decorating my reception with pink flamingos. so mom had gone out and gotten a couple of plastic yard flamingos and she and i dressed up and decorated one of them with lots of crazy things she got a the dollar store. and dad and audrey got home and liked it so much that they decorated the other one and dad bulit stands for them. and we sent them to ricky instead of flowers or something lame (also because he is allergic to flowers) as a get well gifty thingie. mom was trying to think of a name for ours and i told her to let audrey name them because she's good at that. so she came up with flo and elwood :)
also, charles went in for his flight physical today... which apparently did not go well. :( from what i understand they overbooked the dental people so he went all the way to valdosta to do this and he couldnt get in to get his teeth checked. also, the lady screwed up his blood work so he had to have a bunch of blood drawn TWICE. also, he was told to be there at 7:30 and they did not call him for his first test until around 9. so... by the time he finally got in to do his blood pressure and heart rate and what not he was super upset and stressed... aaaaaaaand basically didnt pass. which. sucks totally because it was not his fault AT ALL. and i'm really pretty pissed about this because it super upset him. even though, even if his heart levels would have been fine he still could not have finished everythign today becasue of the dental crap. so they are sending him to a dentist at nas jax to get that done. and if they can do that there i dont know why they couldnt have done the whole thing there instead of making him drive to valdosta. but whatever. huff. and he has to go into another doctor to get his heart rechecked and all sorts of fun stuff with that. so... i can only assume all this means another delay in finding out his orders. which... while it upsets me because i cannot plan my part of this because of it... it upsets me even more for charles. he was so looking forward to getting this done and he is so excited about going in and stuff and this is just another delay in that and he was really upset about it. and i feel so horrible for him. i mean. really. so far. i am not at all impressed with this military crap. i am hoping they will treat him better once he is actually in. because this sucks.
and so. that is whats going on in my life. sorry this ended up so long. i would have lj cut it if i remembered how. but. charles has been in bed for a while now and i think i should probably go join. he says he sleeps better if i'm there :)
