Just Fishin'

 

 



I bought Nathan two brand spankin' new Cabela's campchairs for our (six month!) anniversary, so we decided to put them to good use and go fishing up at Tibble Fork Reservoir. For those of you familiar with Tibble, you will understand that it is usually crowded and the fishing is absolutely terrible. If you do catch something it is a small fry. People fish the crap out of this place and so the fish that are in there have attained some smarts and avoid your hooks and bait at all cost. Leaving you fruitless.

But we went up there. We weren't in it for the fish anyway, I'd like to think. We were just there to relax, and what a successful night of relaxation it was. No fish, but lots of good times.

Do any of you remember the game Roller Coaster Tycoon? I have recently had an itch to play it. I think I will go purchase myself a copy.

6 Months

Well we have officially hit the six month mark of our marriage! Not very long in the grand scheme of things but we try to find any reason we can to celebrate so I will consider this a major milestone.

I feel as though the older I get the faster the time flies. I hope it doesn't go too fast. I want to enjoy life each second it gives me, especially with that sweet husband of mine.

Being married is awesome. They say that the first year is the hardest, and I suppose that is true in some aspects. Learning to share everything about yourself and your life with another is not always these easiest thing, but I have found marriage to be more rewarding and satisfying than any other experience I have known. Marriage puts you through the ringer sometimes, but that is a good thing because you come out more refined. I have to admit that some of my weaknesses have been magnified lately, but it has helped me to realize what I need to do to change and so I feel as though slowly I am becoming a better person through my marriage. Also the fact that I am on birth control makes my emotions go crazy and I feel as though I have become a slightly more aggressive person as a result, but we're working on it, haha.

I would definitely recommend marriage to anyone, but a word of caution, it is hard work, it is not easy, it is emotionally, physically and spiritually trying at times, however if you are willing to put in the effort you will find that the results are magnificient.

I love my husband, I love being married. It is truly the best.

Love you sweet pea.

Life is Like a Lemon Drop

I have posted absolutely nothing substantial in the past two months and figured it was about time I got some of those thoughts out that have been bouncing around in my brain. Blogging is a type of therapy for me, it keeps me sane; and heaven knows I have been on the brink of insanity the past little while.

Sometimes... life is like a lemon drop. You gotta suck on the bitter to get to the sweet part. Pistol Annies taught me that.

Prior to this stage in my life I had never truly understood what it meant to live for the weekend, and now I have had a crude awakening. 60+ hour work weeks are certainly not meant for everybody, and anyone who claims that they are for them are absolute loonies.

My husband and I are both currently going to school and working full time. Meaning we both work our eight hour work days and then go to school all night long. Literally, all. night. long. and then we go to sleep. And this repeats itself Monday through Friday every single week.

So quite literally, I live for the weekend.

I have never experienced something quite so emotionally, physically, spiritually draining in my short life, and it has been difficult to deal with.

I am SO looking forward to the day that I can come home from work and actually relax. Like, you know, go for a drive if I want to, or kick back on the couch in my pajammies and watch a movie, or you know, pursuing my hobbies that have now become altogether lost, and other normal people stuff.

I recognize though that, just like Pistol Annies say, sometimes life is like a lemon drop, and you gotta suck on the bitter to get to the sweet part.

Fortunately the bitter always eventually goes away, and usually when it does you come out a little better and a little more accomplished than before. 

Here's us at the Strawberry Days Rodeo this weekend!
