Well this may not be relevent to the Topic but LeeAnn and I finaly moved all our stuff out of the apartment down the road and we cleaned it and threw stuff away that we did not want to hang on to. So its bye-bye to our old place and hello to our new. I think once we buy a couch and a chair for the living room we will be more at home at our new place. Our old living room furniture is at LeeAnn's parents because it would not fit through the doorway at our new apartment.
I am just trying to get by with mine and LeeAnn's life now at our new place. There are plenty of reasons that anyone can come up with to spend money, I think the government and other corporations had this in mind when they tried to conjure up ways to make profit outside of taxes and whatnot. Ah! There's an idea! Commercial Holidays!.....
People will spend money because its part of the culture. If a relative's neighbor gets a valentine and the relative does not then the relative makes their relative feel bad so they have to buy to avoid the guilt for not buying for occassions such as Valentine's day. I mean Come On! My wife and I already had our Valentine's day...It was our anniversary on January 2nd of this year. I spent money then, but I gotta do it again. Why? My wife already knows she is my " Valentine."
I feel like I do not make enough money to enjoy these Commercial Holidays....
LeeAnn and I even talked about it recently, I asked her,"so what would you like for Valentine's day?"
"Uh, I don't know.What do you want?"
"Hmmm. Uhhh. I don't know............"
So there you have it. I am not very political, but why spend money I aint got.
I love my wife and she knows it so Happy Valentine's day, everybody, I hope you spend your money Wisely!

The Snow, The Move, Getting used to Life without certain Luxuries
My words will not do justice for the recent snow storm we had about a week ago. I will say that I have not seen nor do I remember a winter storm such as the one that passed by in maybe 10 years or more. It was fun to see a white layer over all of Nashville or all that surrounded our new apartment. Yep thats right...I don't remember if I have mentioned this previously but LeeAnn and I moved about a week before the snow storm. And I am counting my blessings for that, because we would have ran into a lot of trouble trying to round up friends and other sources of help in this winter mess. The snow was so bad that I was fish tailing up to our apartment 2 Fridays ago.
LeeAnn hitched a ride to work with her co-worker from Canada. She knows how to drive in the snow. And she has 4 wheel drive. Kudos to whom ever came up with that idea.
I wish I could have taken pictures of the snow, because it was unbelievable. I had mixed emotions about it. The kid inside of me was excited but at the same time I was not looking forward to having to drive in the snow luckily I didn't have to work and school was called off because my professor was snowed in.
LeeAnn and I have discussed our recent move into our bigger yet cheaper apartment. I think we came up with a list of things that we were not pleased with about the new place but we have a roof over our heads, we are not in debt, and we both have our health.
Thinking about all those things makes me feel more grateful, and I start to forget about the little inconveniences we have encountered in our new place.
The snow is long gone now but it is still freezing out side. It may seem like a bummer to have more extended winter weather but hey if I can make it everyday in this weather, going to work and to school, and other places, I will be just fine in the spring and summer time.

2010 Brings a lot to the Table....
I got some stuff on the list for the new year. I have not been writing for a while so I will just put down what comes to mind. I really don't care what I write this time because I think it has been so long since I posted anything that by this time nobody will have been looking to see whats new so here it goes.................
What an exciting opportunity it is to start a whole new year in more ways than one, even.....
LeeAnn and I were married January 2nd of 2009 so we have celebrated our 1 year anniversary already. We spent it the best possible way a couple can....We spent time together. Just us two at home resting and we did go out to eat. I ate my brains out almost, I ate so much. Just coming to our first anniversary has made me think about all the memories for the year that we have shared. I don't mean in any way to be all sentimental and gooshey but I am a family man. Nothing means more to me than "the family." I have great memories of when I was a kid and growing up with my parents and brothers and sisters around.
I have heard that the first year of marriage is the hardest, and my marriage to LeeAnn this past year has not be a piece of cake, But oh man, it is so worth everything. I am still getting to know her, and that is what amazes me is that I still am learning more about her every day it seems. Because when I think I know something, I learn something new about her. She is such an incredible woman. I am lucky to have her. I would say that we have had some tough times in our marriage this first year but I don't want my marriage to sound like a cliche. It is definately not that. I have learned what to do and what not to do in most situations I find myself, there are some other things in the marriage that I still am learning what not to do, that could be the stubborness I have in me that I got from my dad. haha...
What I have seen from some situations this past year with LeeAnn and myself is that usually when she is being serious I am clowning around and being sarcastic, but when I am serious she is joking around with me and we have butted heads at times for that, but looking at it now is kind of funny to think about. I did learn a valuable lesson that hopefully I will carry with me for the rest of my life with LeeAnn and that is to never disappoint her. I did that once when I failed some classes in college and did not tell her about that. She was so upset with me, and I was upset with myself for making her feel so uneasy with me for not telling her about my school situation. When she found out about it it was too late for me to explain and she felt as if I had betrayed our trust. I felt horrible for causing her to be upset with me and I learned to always do everything I can to make her happy. I still get on her every last nerve sometimes but I do it out of love. And hey, I am still learning my boundaries with her. Things she likes that I do, things she does not like...etc.
I got the good news that I passed all my classes for the fall semester of 2009 and have already registered for spring 2010 at Volstate. 2 or 3 more semesters will get me through to MTSU and closer to a degree and then a job that will help me to provide better for LeeAnn and myself. My target is a Land Developing degree and a residential contracting license. Building homes and also some remodeling.
Happy New Year....
