Changes as a Wife...

Since getting married, I've realized that I've become way more "girly." I've often wondered if it's really me, or just hormones from birth control pills, I don't know. Maybe both. Growing up, I hardly ever cried, if I did cry, either I was super super tired, or something huge happened. Now, things have changed. It feels like it changed the second I got married. I cried our entire wedding night. I cried every day during our honeymoon. Not because I was sad, but because I was happy. But usually when I'm happy, I laugh, not cry. I think I just am overwhelmed by all of this stuff that is happening to me. Now, I cry in movies. Tonight, Rob turned the TV on at 6:55 and we saw the last 4 minutes of Monk and just in watching that, it made me cry. It was when Monk gets attached to the little boy. Then tonight I watched House, and I cried when Wilsons wife died. A month back we watched P.S. I Love You (amazing movie) and I literally cried 7 times... in 1 movie! Unheard of (for me)! I remember always laughing at my dad for not being able to watch certain shows without crying, and now I'm doing the exact same thing. I don't cry at Leave It To Beaver though, I'm not as bad as he is. But anything where a spouse dies I cry my eyes out because I can't imagine losing Rob. I couldn't do it. Anything where a baby or child dies, I cry because I'm scared out of my mind to lose a child. I guess where I'm at right now is a whole new perspective of life than where I was before getting married. I've never been this "girly." haha. Well... Rob's going to be home soon. He went with a friend to a movie. Bye for now!

ITS SUMMER! (kinda)

I am so thankful that this semester is over! It's been a great semester, but a seriously crazy and busy semester with neverending work. But now, I still have work as I just started 2 more summer classes. I also just realized that I have 4 chapters to read tonight, and I was thinking that I had about an hour of free time right now. Oops. I'll get it done!

My Goals for the Summer:

GET BACK INTO SHAPE (all I've done this past semester was homework, work, and eat... bad combination)
LEARN TO PLAY FRISBEE GOLF
SPEND LOTS AND LOTS OF TIME WITH ROB (I love him!)
GO TO CAMP (if I can find a cheap plane ticket)
CLEAN OUT THE STORAGE CLOSET
ORGANIZE ALL OUR CLOTHES BY SEASON
WORK ON MY TAN :)
GO TO SMITH MOUNTAIN LAKE
DECIDE FOR SURE WHAT TO GO TO GRAD SCHOOL FOR (Have to talk to some people)
READ A BOOK OTHER THAN A SCHOOL BOOK
LEARN A NEW DANCE
FIND SOME NEW RECIPES
HAVE FUN!

I'm sure I'll find others as the summer goes on. One goal I had was to go hiking up to the monogram cuz I still haven't done that, but I read this article in the paper this morning about how there have been an abundance of black bear sightings lately in Campbell County, so I think I'll pass on the mountain.

Well, now I have to go hop in the shower since I just worked out. It felt nice, but made me realize how out of shape I am. I still blame it on mono. haha. Mono sucks. I still feel tired alot from it and its been 18 long months. Stupid. After my shower I'd better start reading before I go pick up Rob from work!
