Home sweet home

Well after about a month of searching we've found our new place. We narrowed it down to three. A 2 bedroom house, a 3bedroom apartment, and a 2 bedroom apartment. Surprisingly we chose the 2 bedroom. It's really the biggest out of the choices. It's an upstairs aparment in a 4 unit old farmhouse. Theres some work we've already decided we're going to do, but it really looks like a place we can call home, and most importantly Aiden will have his own room and a huge yard to play in. Its a small town similar to "Downtown DuBois" for those of you that know what that means it'll be like home, with a good mall near by. After we make the deposit, sometime this week, we can move in and I will start taking pictures so I can show before and afters of my what my handyman can do. I'll be helping of course, but the actual technical work will be him.

Other news, wedding plans are starting to blossom. Nothing permanant yet, but many most likely plans have been set. We'll know more on Thursday night, and then I will post with information!

Oh and GO STEELERS!!

Thanks, but no thanks

I feel that only noteworthy events qualify for blogging. Therefore as you can tell I have something worth writing down! Recently I’ve been put into a situation I hate. Nine years four months and twenty four days ago I was convinced not to count on anyone, not to ask for anyone’s’ help and to not trust most people. Somehow between then and now I forgot this small bit of knowledge I once had and now I feel stupid. Sure it may not be nearly as dramatic as I’m making it seem, but I had to ask for help. Something I absolutely hate doing, but I swallowed my ego and did it. I actually asked several people to help me, and the funny part is: No one would. I do understand that some people couldn’t and to them I am thankful for just being honest but those that could wouldn’t do it. And I know I shouldn’t complain about it, but it bothers me so much because I honestly never ask for anything. Ever. Ask anyone they’ll tell you. I do not ask for favors, presents or help. It’s just not in my genes. So to those that have listened to me complain for the past… well probably three weeks thank you, and to those that could not or would not help: I did it without you. I didn’t have to embarrass myself and ask after all. I found a way to get around all of it and did it. So thank you for reminding me of lessons learned long ago: When life gives you lemons; make lemonade. By yourself and there is no such thing as too much. The sun always comes out and calls for a nice tall glass.
