3 Great Things
So Many things have been happening. I'm not even sure where to begin. Okay. So I believe I've mentioned before about how John and I have talked about marriage for several months now. And it hasn't been just idle talk. We have been talking seriously about it. Our serious conversations about it actually began when we were still in South Dakota. We talked a lot about the future the last two months there and that was the beginning...Well I am now pregnant. Not exactly where we had planned it on the timeline, but I am sure he will be a blessing none-the-less. And yes, I did say he....it is a boy.....I saw the sonagram myself...and no there is no doubt. So. I am fat and getting fatter, peeing every five minutes, and hungry all the time. Both John and I are excited. I was kinda surprised about how John responded to the news. He has been involved in as much as possible. He has helped pick out clothes, furniture, and he has even tried to help with picking out colors for the nursery. John always said that he'd leave that all up to me and that he had no opinion on things of that sort....but he has made a real effort at having an opinion and trying to express it no matter if I get upset or tell him no or insist on my own way. He has been very good at dealing with my melt downs, my sudden tantrums and tears. He just comforts me as best he can, holds me until I cry myself out and tells me everything will be okay. He brings me food and water when I want it, I don't even have to ask. He tries to take care of me at every opportunity and he has been really great. He even helped pick out the name! He is working for the city and his paycheck is very nice.....over 600 every two weeks. So thats nice. I quit my job at the grocery store, For a couple reasons, one being that I was wronged by them. They took me out of the office all of a sudden and have never once given me an explaination. Then its getting harder for me to be on my feet. They cut me down to half time which gives me NO money, certainly not enough to pay all my bills...which John has been helping out with a LOT more. I've felt bad about that. But even the days I was working were long days and very hard on my body. I would come home not only exhausted but aching all over to the point where I felt like I couldn't move. I would sleep all day the next day to recover. Not fun. Well today I started a new job. Its at a company called Sitel. I will be training for two weeks but then I will be taking phone calls of people applying for a home warranty. Sitel is a call center but we don't make the calls, we take the calls. Much better cuz I can't telemarket. Its a sit down job so that will help me and I will be able to work full time again. And its better pay. So I am excited. On top of that we signed a lease for a house on Saturday evening. So yesterday we started cleaning and getting some stuff in. Since it was a holiday weekend we don't get much time to spend on it yet. We have a great kitchen but a few of the other rooms need some care. Mostly we want to paint some of it first. We plan on painting the kitchen, our room, and Hopefully the trimwork in the living room before we move it....at least thats what we really want to do. It has all hard wood floors and today, since John had the day off, he went and got paint and few other little things we needed, and then he went and put orange glow on the whole living room floor.....and you probably won't understand why thats such a big deal...but trust me the room is huge. And he also tore down all the wallpaper in the dining room. So he has done a lot to help get the house ready for move in. We hope to be officially all in on this saturday. I think that will be hard but I wanted to be in before I started this job, but that didn't work out. So I get off work every day at 4:30 and it takes about 20-30 minutes to get back to Pawhuska so that doesn't give me much time to work on the house before dark. But tomorrow the electric will be turned on so that will help and we will be able to do much more then. Well. I guess I've rambled on fo rlong enough. I hope you can make sense of all this. I will try to put up some pics of the house on facebook. I'd better get to bed now. Laters.
