almost 5 months reunited...

So, yes... it has been almost 5 months since I have last blogged. Weird. I know.
Matt and I have been married for about the same amount of time as well. Weird, again. Weird, because I am MARRIED.... it is still crazy to wake up & there be someone else there every morning. And to have a different name, and a new ring on my finger. But, it's all of wonderful that wonderful can be. :)
So much has happened since I have written last. Wow. Hmm.. Maybe I should get you all up to date on Matt & I. :)
The Honeymoon to Disney World was everything GREAT! We did not want to leave.... it was such a short trip. 2 of our 5 days being traveling days took out a lot of our us time. But nonetheless, it was good.
We've been to 3 weddings since we got married lol... it has been a very short time, too. :) We have our ups. We have our downs. But, at the end of the day we still love each other and are fighting to make our relationship stronger. It's all a learning process, everyday. We both LOVE being married to each other. Matt is so great with helping out with the chores, too. He can't stand dishes sitting in the sink, or the apartment really messy. It's nice to have him be like that, because I have very little time to deal with it. I'm still in school, and this semester has been especially hectic, so it's been hard keeping up with my homework and work schedule much less the tidiness of the apartment. He really is great. There are times that I just sit here and cry because of how bad the apartment's in a mess, but just don't have the time to get to it. lol... I am a big ball of emotions, still. I guess I always will be.
Our lives have been basically the same, besides living together and paying bills together. He works, I work & go to school. The only issue is our schedules & them being completely opposite. He's been working as the Assistant Meat Manager at Kroger in Hickory Hollow. As of today, he was offered to transfer to the Memorial blvd Kroger here in Murfreesboro. After meeting with the store manager and some others, he took the job there & will probably be starting in a couple weeks. However, he had applied for a Manager position with the La Vergne Kroger, and foudn out today that he did not get that job. But, at least he's in Murfreesboro now, and will be saving money that way in gas, at least. We have been really hoping to start a new chapter in our lives by getting a house, but that dream will have to come another night. It really kind of upset me that we can't afford even a small house right now, but I can't complain-- at least I have a roof over my head at all. I just really want something a bit bigger to be comfortable and not cramped like we are now. Even if it was only more square footage in the bedroom, I'd be happy. Beggars can't be choosers. I'm still at Reeves-Sain, still making half a dollar less than I was making at my previous job... and now with much less hours. She didn't like my availability with school, and took it out on my schedule... so I get 8 hours most weeks... and some weeks can get 4-5 hours more on Saturdays. So, anywhere in the ballpark of 8-13 hours a week = a very small paycheck in 2 weeks. Most weeks I open my paycheck, I'm lucky to get $100. That's been a big challenge, and an upset as well because I am used to paying all my bills on my own. For the most part I can, but there's times where I'm asking for money from Matt. Which is fine since he's my hubby, but I'm very independent when it comes to money. And I need all new tires on my car and a chek-up on it because it's not running as well... and I can't even do that since I'm not making any money basically. I really wish a new job would come up. It doesn't help that there are only 11 listings in the ads of the newspaper each day & the majority of those being qualified nursing jobs and the like.. so not much for lowly ole' me.
Anyways, enough of the sad stories. We're doing well, Bella's doing well.... everything's good on our side. Bella is 8 months old now, and prob. almost 9 lbs. Last we weighed her, she was 8.5 lbs. :) She's going to be SO cute on Halloween.... you'll have to wait for another update to see what she is though! :) Should be fun. Sorry this went so long. Maybe I can try to get some sleep now! :)
Sorry this has become long.
