A picture is worth a thousand words....

We had our family portrait done 2 weeks ago.  I've never had a family portrait done...either with my family, or with my ex.  I've always wanted one, don't ask me why.  I bought a pretty small package...12 pictures plus our free 10x13.  They had dressed us up in 1920's outfits..I thought they were the greatest thing...now, however, I wish I hadn't even signed up to get it done.   Something that meant so much to me before-that I've wanted to have done for so long..now means nothing.  A total of $63.74 cents worth of misery...fighting for the happy family on the Christmas card is a waste of time, fuck it all.

Woohoo...

Wow, I didn't realized it had been so long since I had written in here...

A catch up, work is going pretty well.  Wasn't able to get the transfer, but they're trying to make the schedule better.  If not, I have until my 6 month mark to work it, then I can transfer out.

The hotel is up and going...and I hate Alex's schedule w/ a passion.  We have some days where we don't get to see each other much, if at all...I've been fighting hard not to let this get me *too* down..but it's hard.  I love being w/ him, very hard to be apart.  Luckily, his schedule will change again soon and tho he'll still be working the crap-hours, he'll have Thurs, Sat, and Sun off..so we'll have our weekends back.

We're officially on the 2 week wait.  I'm not really obsessing about it, tho...*easier* this time than last.  Alex is sure he *succeeded*, and he was right the other 2 times...here's hoping.

We got prequalified for a mortgage today, so we're officially on the house hunt!  I'm so excited!  I hate moving, but wow, our OWN house! 

I had a long talk with Kim and we agreed to have her sister throw her baby shower.  I went several months w/out talking to her, then we went out shopping together w/ no kids or men and got to get it all out there.  She feels bad and uncomfortable talking to me, I just feel bad period talking/seeing her (or any pregnant woman).  So, her sister is throwing it...and she's fine with it, and it takes a huge weight off me.  I feel horrible about it, even tho I explained it all to her...she had asked me way back in the beginning if I would throw her a shower and I of course said YES!  Then things happened...things that changed me forever...she says she understands, I certainly hope that's the case.

She and Donald got their new home.  Should be able to move-in in a couple of weeks.  Then they're going to give us boxes so we can start packing..LOL.

That's about it for now...everything is going prettywell, all-in-all.
