Just Another Day

"Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind
don't matter and those who matter don't mind" -Dr. Seuss

Where does the family start? It starts with a young man falling in love with a girl - no superior alternative has yet been found.
- Winston Churchill

So Cody and I have been together for 4 years and 3 days now. We are happy with how our life is. Nothing really happening right now. I just thought i would try to make a blog as much as i can but we don't have kids yet so new things don't a ways happen with us. In just 8 more days we get to visit with Jon (Cody's Brother), Ashley, Shawn, and Landon. We have missed them all so very much. We haven't seen them since end of June beginning of July. It has been way way to long. Cody is working more hours at work. He says he wants to save up for something. When i ask what, he just says don't worry about it. But i am smart and have come up with what it is he is saving for. He is save for my engagement ring. He was upset at first when i told him i knew. But then i told him what my uncle had said. My Uncle Tim said, "It is very hard to surprise the women in your family because they are all very smart and figure things out. They might not know the details but they know the basic." My Uncle was tell him this. I told Cody i might have figured out that he was saving up for my ring but i don't know when, where, or even if he is getting the ring i showed him. That all will be a surprise for me. He feels much much better now. I do love him very much. I have been thinking to myself. When we do get engaged, our wedding will be weird. The reason i say that is for a couple of reasons. The first being we haven't talked to his parent since July. They probably don't approve of me or like me. Which don't bother me. So who knows how that will be (if they go to the wedding, how they act with me, or to the both of us, how my family will be with them). Cody and I were talking last night about the other reason. The other reason is that Cody has two brothers, Ben (oldest) and Jon (middle child), who don't get along. Both of which will be in the wedding. We know Jon will keep the peace. Plus Cody hasn't heard from Ben such a long time. Not sure if it is because he knows about the fighting with their parents or what. Maybe it is just a little of me being over worried or the both of us worrying a little. So know to change the subject. I have changed my major for the 3rd time since going to college. I have been going to college since Fall of 2006. Way to long. When i first started going my major was Accounting, then it changed to Legal Secretary and has been that for a year or two. I had a meeting with my adviser who is also one of my professors. She and i had discussed my grade in Legal Terminology. Which isn't good at all. That class is very hard. We get a list of word (always group from 4 chapters) and sometimes there would be 150 or less words on it. We had to study all of them but like only 50 would be on the test. With my learning disability it is hard for me. So the professor and i have decided that the best thing for me was to drop that class and change my major to Executive Secretary. I still graduate in May. This way i don't have to know terminology i just have to know spelling. Which she said if i have trouble doing test (test day she would say a word and i have to spell it on paper), she would give me a paper with a list. Each number will have 3 ways to spell each word. One correct way and two incorrect way. I would have to pick the right one. So she is really working with me. She is a good professor. So i think i wrote a pretty long blog sorry for the ones who don't like to read a lot. Here are some pictures of the cats. Enjoy
That is my lizard, Drake. We have to separate him and Bindi when they
eat because she doesn't always let him eat. So it
is easier to do this.


There is Skyra. What a pretty kitty she is


Gizmo and Skyra would not leave the cage alone i had to go
and put it on the ground so they could watch.


Gizmo cleaning Skyra. What a good brother he is



Gizmo what a handsome kitty he is

Time to Remember the Past 4 Years

I Don't Want To Miss A Thing lyrics
I could stay awake just to hear you breathing
Watch you smile while you are sleeping
While you're far away and dreaming
I could spend my life in this sweet surrender
I could stay lost in this moment forever
Well, every moment spent with you
Is a moment I treasure
(Chorus)
I don't wanna close my eyes
I don't wanna fall asleep
'Cause I'd miss you, baby
And I don't wanna miss a thing
'Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream would never do
I'd still miss you, baby
And I don't wanna miss a thing

So I figured with Cody's and my anniversary coming up in a couple of days, i would reflect on our relationship.On October 6, 2005, Cody and I started dating. We were both seniors in school. I had had a crush on Cody for a year or so by this time but never thought more of it. We both sat at the same lunch table. I was the only girl at the table full of maybe 5 people. We never really talked to each other. A week or so before Cody and I started dating, we were sitting at the table at lunch and we all got in a conversation about dating. Cody says how he doesn't want a girlfriend because he didnt want to waste his money on them. On October 5th was our Senior Class trip to the Renaissance Fair. I was going to hang out with my friend Sarah, a guy she was on and off dating, and my two guy friends, Steve and Rob (they are twins). Well Cody went and was really the only one out of his friends(at the time) who went. So because he knew my friends Rob and Steve he decided to hang out with them. So it was all of us. Cody and I talked more them we did before. They all made fun of me because the day before i put sparkling water in the freezer. So when i went to drink some it went every where. Cody kept doing little things to get my attention. One of the twin was nice enough to buy me a metal rose since i didnt have enough money for it. Cody had bought one which he ended up giving it to me. He shared his food with me and bought be a drink. The next day he asked me out. We have been through a lot together. He has done a lot for me (stopped smoking, stopped doing other things, he ended up giving up 5 friends because he said i was more important [this five friends were they greatest, trying to all to get in trouble and doing other things], family members deaths and so on. The above song is our song. That was the first song we had ever slowed danced too. No matter how made we make each other we have stuck by each other. He is my soul mate and i love him to death. I cant see me being with anyone but him. I love you hubby. So here are some pictures of us over the past 4 years.
