Just saw Hangover 2..definitely a waste of our money..We chose this over Super 8 because we wanted to watch something funny. I think I laughed once. Sorry I'm not the best movie critic, but I think most people will agree with me on this one..However, I did see 2 movie previews that had Jason Bateman in them so that was a plus!
That's all. Just needed to share my thoughts.
PS- I DO need Alan's labrador shirt, though.

Nothing gets so bad, a whisper from your Father couldn't fix it.
Can I just say that I'm having one of the worst weeks ever?? I honestly just feel like venting..my blog is perfect for that :]
I try not to be a negative person..but I'm just honestly having a really bad week. Annnnd it's only Tuesday night.
On Sunday night, I severely hurt (probably broke..) my pinky toe..I did something really stupid and laughed for like 45 minutes afterwards..my husband has to watch his show on HBO "Game of Thrones" every Sunday night (I hate it-it's gross..I hope none of you enjoy it..if you do, sorry!) and he has to turn off every single light in our entire apartment so that there won't be a glare on our ginormous sized TV..so I'm fumbling around in the pitch black to find something and I run straight into the wall. Yep. Into the wall. I do this quite frequently, actually. If there were a secret camera in our apartment, you all would laugh at how many times I run into the wall or hit my arm on the wall or run into something. Because I don't pay attention. And I have really long arms, as do both of my brothers..and they are always swinging around hitting something or knocking something over..So anyway, my toe is purple and swollen and HURTING. I've been having someone at work tape it for the last 2 days so it's immobilized..but it still hurts..Okay I feel bad for saying how much I don't like Game of Thrones..maybe the storyline is good (my husband goes on and on about how much thought they put into it and it's the best show he's ever seen and blah blah blah..) but I think it's disgusting.
On Monday night, something way worse than me breaking my toe happened..my grandmother had a stroke..a "massive" stroke. I was crushed. I've never had anything really bad happen like this to someone I am so close to (besides my high school boyfriend who was in a horrible crash-about 5 years post-breakup). I love my maw maw so much and it was so hard for me to just stay home and wait to hear by mass text messaging what was going on. The only thing I could think about was some of my former stroke patients that I have treated..how hopeless they were..half of the time forgetting that one side of their bodies existed..babbling incoherent words..the completely hopeless look in their eyes. Thinking that my maw maw might be this way just killed me. Then I get a call from my sister in law saying that my grandmother can't speak, or move the right side of her body. Let's just say I prayed hard last night. Today my mom called me from Ochsner in New Orleans, where they sent my maw maw so that she would get the best care, and put me on the phone with maw maw. And she talked! And I could completely understand her. Speech a little slurred, but I was so happy. It may be a long (or short, hopefully) road to her recovery, but the fact that she is starting to make progress already makes me so happy. She has so much life left to live.
We also got a new therapist at my work this week..and I will just say that things have been..different. Change is always hard for me. I like to think that I can just go with it..but the truth is that when I get into a routine, I like it. I need it. It will take time to get used to..but guess I'm up for it!
To top it off..I finished watching Arrested Development today..I finally watched every episode in order and it is the best. I am so mad that it's over!
I think I'm done venting now..Off to ice my toe..

You're a vision of truth, and that's what I love..
I wish that someone would give me a topic every week to blog on. It would make me more excited to blog! We have been having problems with our internet connection, so I haven't even been able to even get on here in awhile. Also..our air conditioner hasn't been working either..We have been carrying around our box fan and basically just sweating our butts off for the last 2 weeks. And don't even think about turning the oven on..so tonight Judah went to home depot and got us a huge fancy air conditioner..and when we got it all hooked up, it said that it was 84 degrees in our apartment!! And it's been that hot every single day. Apparently our apartment complex is too cheap to fix our ac, as I have asked them to do so oh aboutttt 4 times already this year.
Last night I saw Eisley in New Orleans! I think this was my 3rd time seeing them and it just gets better and better. I need them to come sing every single song they have ever recorded (or not recorded) to me as I fall asleep. Before the show we went to Starbucks..and as we were waiting on our drinks...in walks Eisley..I'm not one of those people that freaks out when I see a famous person..but I also am not the type of person that would ever walk up and talk to one, either. I honestly don't even know what I would say to any of them, anyway, besides the normal fan things that fans say to them every day of their lives..although, I'm sure they appreciate it. While we were sitting outside of Starbucks waiting for my brother and his wife and a few other friends, I look over at my cousin, Ashleigh, who is not ever dramatic at all, (obviously, if you know her you know this slightly sarcastic..) and her eyeballs are bulging out of her head..she sees this guy walking down the street:

I hope you people know who that guy is! It's Wayne! from The Wonder Years! I only saw the back of him because by the time my cousin got out who she saw he was already passing by. How exciting! I remember when I was a kid, we had this huge UFO looking satellite dish in our yard that we had to turn on if we wanted to watch tv..Every Saturday afternoon we would go out and turn on our UFO and watch The Wonder Years. It was one of my very favorite shows.
I'm just realizing that it is very late and I have to wake up early tomorrow..will blog more later!
Nighty night blog.

I'm just tryin to be a better version of me for You..
Biggest Loser finale! I can't keep up with too many TV shows..but I like to keep up with this one. I just think that it's very fulfilling. You get to watch the contestants transform into new people..not just physically, but emotionally and spiritually. I'm sitting upstairs, snuggling with my Vega..thinking about Romans 8 while I watch this TV show..
"Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword...In all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us...For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons neither the present nor the future, not any powers, neither height nor depth, not anything else in all creation will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord."
I kind of skipped around a little..but that's definitely one of my favorite chapters in the bible...and I wish I could be more than a conqueror over the ice cream in the freezer that is calling my name right now..anyway, I was reading this last night after I got into a major fight with my husband..over something really stupid: watermelon. I'm not afraid to get a little (just a little) personal on my blog, so here is the silly story. I reallllly wanted some watermelon. I don't know what came over me. I just wanted some! My husband was still at work so I texted him and said I wanted some..and then I thought to myself "I'm just gonna see if he will think to get some for me on the way home.." huh. That's the exact point where everything started. Of course, he didn't think twice about it, and didn't stop at the grocery store (that he passes right in front of..in fact, I think he passes by a few of them..) to get me any. Now we have been together for long enough for me to know that when I want something, I better ask for it. And I think most men are this way. There are a few out there who would have stopped at the grocery store..but not my husband. He is very black and white. If he wants something, he gets it. Or he ASKS for it. I think if most women just said exactly what they wanted (because guess what, most guys have no idea what we want! or what we are thinking! Because they are men! Not women!) then there wouldn't be as many fights in relationships..Because once I said one thing about the dang watermelon, things started to escalate, and before I knew it, we were fighting about 27 other things that have nothing to do with anything. My sister in law pointed out to me today that had we not started arguing, some of those things wouldn't have come out and we would have no idea that the other person was upset or angry about certain things..I don't know if I can say this is something positive that came out of the whole situation..but I know I got a lot of stuff off my chest for sure..
Women and men are so different. And it's very hard to be married sometimes when you want to ring the other person's neck..but after a looooong time of pouting and whining to God (who was probably thinking how silly I am..) I sucked it up and apologized. That is NOT an easy thing to do people! I have a hard time doing that because I tend to be a prideful person..after that I read Romans 8 and it made me feel better..I am so thankful for my husband, and for everything that he does for me. I have always been such an independent person, and when I play this game it totally throws J off. I didn't even realize what I was doing until we were in the heat of the argument..oh well..no one is perfect!
I hope all of y'all are having a good week..
Goodnight..

I need you at the dimming of the day..
Alison Krauss. That's all I can listen to this week. Judah got me her new album with Union Station (I reaaally like them together), Paper Airplane. I love it. Can't take it out of my CD player. I love all of the songs..even the ones that Dan T..I can't spell his last name right..but I even like the songs that he sings..the kind of..bluegrass music that they play, I really like. And her voice..I could listen to it forever. Alison Krauss is the last artist that I absolutely have to see before she stops performing..My other goals were U2, Radiohead, Coldplay, Thrice, The Album Leaf..okay well I have a lot of favorite bands..but I saw all of them and more so now I have got to see AKUS.
In other news..we just got back from a mini vacation in Navarre Beach, Florida with Judah's family. We had a great time. I really like Navarre Beach..our condo was so nice. It was right on the beach. The beach wasn't packed with people like it often is in Destin..speaking of Destin, it was only about 25 minutes away. We went there to eat one night at this awesome restaurant named Dewey's..It's right near McGuire's..but it's on the water. When you turn off of the main road, it kind of looks like you are heading to a trash dump..It's pretty much a small shack on a dock. I think there were a lot of locals there and it was packed. They have fresh fish every day and we got grilled snapper..it was awesome. We pretty much just played on the beach every day..I got severely sunburned on the first day (-of course-) and was hurting the rest of the time..my nickname was Lobster legs..or Double L. I hate when I do that! I applied sunscreen seriously like 13 times a day after that. It was a great time just hanging out with Judah's family..we haven't all been together since our wedding. I'm thinking our next vacation will be up to Colorado to visit them..We miss them already.
Alsoooo..my inner fat kid came out severely this weekend..I saw this new blue bell ice cream, coconut fudge and I had to have it. So I found it yesterday..it was hard to find too..and it's almost as good as the mocha almond fudge..if y'all like coconut, you should totally try it..
OH! My mom finalllly came home from Italy, and had carpal and cubital tunnel surgery 3 days later..so now she is sitting at home probably reading this and trying to blog with her left hand..I'm hoping everything heals how it's supposed to..I'm gonna wait for her to get off of the pain pills to hear her Italy stories. She brought me exactly what I wanted for my birthday..a cameo ring!! It's so beautiful..I'm kind of scared to wear it or even take it out of the box..but I love it.
Ps..Judah made me watch the movie Salt..it was the worst. I didn't even make it half way through.
Hope you all sleep well..

Without your love, I'm a dog without a bone..
Tomorra is my birfday!! I'm real excited. This past weekend all of my friends threw me a surprise party..it was so sweet and thank y'all so much again for throwing it for me! (I know the ones who threw it are reading this!) I had a great time..it's always nice to know that I have awesome friends who love me and appreciate me even though I'm a jerk sometimes! I really do have the best family and friends ever. Seriously.
Sunday was Mother's Day..and I was sad because my mother isn't even in the country! But I'm suuuuure she had the best mother's day ever because she is in Italy! But she knows I love and appreciate everything that she has done for me..she never gave up on me (even when I was the most selfish brat there ever was..) and she was always proud of me no matter what I decided I wanted to do. She always made sure that she told me that she was proud of me. And that means a lot to me. She gave me lots of spankings..made sure that we had everything that we wanted or needed..taught us about Jesus..had tea parties with us..helped us write papers and do projects for school..and passed down her love of animals to me! I could go on and on..Happy Mother's Day, mom! We will celebrate when you get home.
This morning I went to drop of my Vega at Charlie and Stephanie's house til Sunday because we will be out of town :(((( I miss her soooo much already! I won't miss her big butt taking up the whole bed tonight, but I miss her snuggling with me every chance she gets. We haven't even left yet and I am already ready to go pick her up!! :'''''''(
Tonight Judah took me to eat at Fleming's, since we will be on the road to Florida tomorrow night..I had never been there and the food was great..a little on the pricey side..but really good. We both got steaks and had some awesome mushrooms on the side and the best molten lava cake you could ever want! While we were waiting on our food, Judah got up to go to the bathroom..when he came back he had a little gift for me..I was so surprised..It was sapphire earrings! Big sapphire earrings! I couldn't say a word. Judah loves me very much..but he's not good with buying gifts..he doesn't care about getting gifts or material things..he kind of things its a waste of money and pointless..but he's starting to understand that that is how I receive love.. I think along with encouraging words..but more so gifts..I'm not spoiled or materialistic..to me it just means that he thought about what he wanted to get me..and he actually did something..he had to go see his jeweler, and spend a little (a lot) $ on me (which is a big thing to someone who won't let any light get in his wallet) He had to actually make it happen..he had to show some action..and I was a very very very very happy wife.
Tomorrow is my birthday!! And we are going to Navarre Beach!
Ah!

We don't shake hands, we shake our fists..
I was going to blog tonight about the whole Osama Bin Laden thing..but my sister in law, Stephanie said everything in her blog that I was thinking..I feel like I was happy at first..to see justice served. But then I really started to think about it..God loved this man. He loved him the same way that he loves me. Yes, he lived a life of sin..but don't we all? Now this man will never have the chance to be with his maker..As christians, we must mourn this.
So that's what I think about that in a nutshell.
This past weekend my husband, my lab, and I went to Grand Isle with my brother and sister in law, and their doggy, Pernkie. It was a really quick trip, but we had a good and relaxing time. I was happy to get away, even if it was just for a short time. I think the doggies had the best time of all of us..I know Vega did. As soon as we got to the beach she bolted for the water..It was really funny. She swam and swam and fetched and ran and played with Pernkie. I always feel guilty that Vega has to stay in our apartment on some days, so I made sure that we made up for that! I took a few pics and will upload them soon!
Today was a crazy day at work..The other PTA that I work with was out, so that meant I saw double the patients. My hands and wrists are paying for that now.
I'm going to the beach next week! which means that I'm on a super diet. I know I know, diets are bad. But, I'm going to the beach soon! Annnd I'm gonna try to work out twice a day..ugh, I know.
That's all for now.
bye bye.
