Nothing exciting

Big events have been happening lately, but nothing super exciting about them I guess.

For my birthday we went to the casino, that was fun, I played ten bucks and lost ten bucks.
I drank bicardi rasberry mixed with pepsi, and a shot of watermelon pucker. Wine makes me feel more buzzed then those two did.

Thanksgiving I went to my families then to Scott's family. Basic family holiday things.

My life is kinda boring

Maybe that's a good thing...

Frankenmuth fun!

I had a wonderful weekend!

We (me and Scott) went to frankenmuth to celebrate our one year anniversary. Although it was a little cold we had lots of fun. We got to town about 8 and checked in at the hotel. It was one of the cheaper hotels in that area and I was apprehensive about going there but it was fantastic. Comfy bed, clean, just nice overall.

Then we went into town and took a carriage ride. We went through the neighborhoods and then the main street of Frankenmuth. Very romantic. After that it was time to see the laser show they have every weekend night. That was neat in itself, but what made it cute was the group of 5 year olds were there. Nothing beats watching 20, 5 year olds dancing to 50 and 60's music.

We went back to the hotel after that, and slept. Got up about 8 the next morning and went for breakfast. Man that was such a good breakfast! Then we went into town.

His parents and grandma were coming up for lunch about 2 and half hours later so we walked the town. Went into a whole bunch of different shops, and the local museum. Well worth the one dollar we paid to get into the museum, there was so much to see. After that we wanted to go check out the personalized ornaments you could get at the Bavarian Inn. There was some drama there with crappy workers and we added up not getting the ornament which I was very disappointed about.

Then it was time for lunch and we ate at Zhender's, yummy chicken. After that we went to Bronner's and got to hear the story of how St. Nickalaus became Santa Clause. We walked around the store after that and found an area where Bronner's was personalizing ornaments. We found an ornament that said "love is patient, love is kind, love never ends." On the back it says Amy and Scott 11/12/06. Very nice memento of our one year anniversary.

And that was our trip in a nutshell.

Support me...

Okay so some of my family doesn't like my fiancee at all. It is a very long story that I'm not going to get into. Needless to say at one point they liked him, something came out, and now they hate him. In fact it's to the point where they want me to go back to my ex who was a million times worse.

Scott is a good guy, they can't see that anymore, fine.

I know because of the situation the future could have some bumps. I get it. But I feel that no matter what gets thrown at us it will be okay because Scott and I will be together. No marriage is easy, and while there are a few added complications it isn't the end of the world.

They don't want me to go through that, whatever, then why are they making it so hard? One thing that would make the situation easier is their support. Don't they understand that some support they could make it a million times easier?

I don't think they will understand that though, and I don't think anything will change their mind. So I have to decide if I want to be with Scott, and risk some of their scathing comments, or not be with Scott and have their acceptance. I know that something else will come along they won't accept, so rather than give up the love of my life, my future, for nothing, I'm going to stay with Scott. It might be an extremely small wedding, with few people, but it'll be okay. Because those who will be there love us, support us, and have faith in us. That is what matters.

I was flipping through stations on the radio yesterday and came across this song which I think fits quite well:

It's My Life- Bon Jovi

Its my live and it's now or never
I ain't gonna live forever
I just wanna live while I'm alive
It's my life
My heart is like an open high way
Like Frankie said I did it my way
I just wanna live while I'm alive.

And living my life means being happy, and not giving up the best thing that happened to me. So I'm gonna live while I'm alive.

Minor vent for the day

Okay, I understand that the second floor of the Undergrad library is a place where people can talk. I don't mind that, I know there are other places I can go on campus if I want truly silent study. But must you people scream! Honestly the person talking to you is sitting right next to you, why I have to hear your conversation on the other side of the building I'll never know. That is all...

First of many ramblings...

Okay so this blog is probably going to be super boring, because it is just a daily log. Frankly most people aren't going to care about my daily life, and those who do care somewhat will hear it straight from my mouth and don't need to read it here, anywhoo,

I'm going back to yesterday first 11/6/06

It was my second tutoring session. I'm liking this tutoring thing. I work with a 2nd grader and a 10th grader. Good kids for the most part, and it's fun to be working with kids after the faith formation program I taught at shut down. I am focusing on reading and such with them as that is what their mom wants and what they need help with. I also help with other homework if they have any which they really haven't yet. I'm glad I am recieving this opportunity.

Now onto my thoughts on today

Talked about kinship in my anthro class. Um I went into class thinking family stuff, cool, I can handle that. Uh yea okay not happening. We are doing some kinda chart thing with triangles and circles. Basically it is a way to show a family in symbols. Hope I catch on better Thursday.

I registered for classes the other day as well. My last 4 general ed's before I go into the social work program. I'm kinda nervous about that. Can I do it? I sure hope so. One of the tricky parts is that in my last year of the program I'll be a newlywed. I'm sure it will be okay, but it's going to be a lot. Ah well challenges are fun! I think.

Been listening to some samples from the Chris Daughtry album (American Idol). I am loving what I hear so far and can't wait to get the album when it comes out on the 21st. My birthday is the 18th, so I should have some extra money to get it.

Speaking of my birthday I'll be 21 this year whoo. I'm not much of a drinker though, and will be going to the casino instead of the bar. Maybe I'll win some money...
