Life, the Universe, and Everything

So, the title is the 3rd book in the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy trilogy that has 4 books in it. (don't ask, I don't get it either) Silly books if you have time to read. Fun movie if you don't...

That was a random intro to my boring blog. I talked to Ganny to day and she commented on my blog drought, so I thought I'd take a few minutes and vent stresses ect.

Last weekend I had "The Group" over. There were 11 people in our little house. Friends from high school, and a few people they brought with them. John Paul has been friends with these people since being in the same 4th grade class. It was ablast to have everyone over. I wish I'da taken pictures, because there were 6 people spooning in our middle room all night. For some reason they didn't wanna split up to have more room. They left the engaged couple alone, minus the lucky guy who got the couch.

The best part for me was making breakfast for everyone. Homemade (from a whole wheat mix) biscuits, gravy and scrabled eggs. It was good to a: Make breakfast (JP doesn't like much more than cereal, which is sad b: make food that was enjoyed c: I cooked and other girls did the dishes!!

I've been finding a lot of joy in preparing meals. Last night I made chicken fried steak, mashed potatos and gravy. So bad for us, but so yummy!


This weekend I'm heading to OKC for a friends bridal shower. I'm the Matron of Honor, and that been stressing me out a little. I've been working on planning her personal shower, which isn't goign to be that big of a deal, but I always work myself up over wanting it to all be perfect. I'm getting way excited about making her a cake!!

The stress of moving is always in the back of my mind.JP called to see what the relocation department will do to help us move, and they said he had a job, but his exact location hasn't been finalized, so we are 90% sure it will be in Houston. I just wish we had a plan for when we're moving, going on vacation, and when he will start working.

I know who by worrying can add a single minute to his life, but I'm having a hard time embracing that scripture.

God will provide a plan, but it will be in His time. It's just hard that my brain doesn't always work at His pace, which I'm probably glad of.

You think you have him...

But I do. The most wonderful Husband in the whole world.

It's crazy how much our relationship has changed over just the last four months. Even though we had been dating almost 6 years, getting married was far different than I would have thought.

The first month or so was so stressful. Figuring out how to deal with all our stuff in one little house, and how to spend any time together after classes and during a job search.

After the holidays, and even before John Paul has become such a wonderful husband.

If I need help around the house, I just have to leave him a note and he'll do chores. He may refuse to handwash dishes, but I've only done a few loads of laundry in the past few months. He's taken the time to talk to me, and do things I like to do.

He's picked up a marriage book that someone gave us when we got married, and started reading it without me asking/forcing him to. He's said thank you for all the things I though he was taking for granted, and even for things I didn't know were important to him.

For Valentines, he made plans around things I'd been asking him to do for a long time. We ordered in a heart shaped pizza, and watched a movie that I'd been wanting to watch with him for months. Before dinner, he took me to the flea market. He doesn't enjoy them, but he knows that I do. He didn't complain the whole time, and even bought me some pretty wooden roses.

You may think your hubby is wonderful and perfect, and I hope you do, but I'm still voting that my husband is the best in the world, because he's mine.

bumming weekend

Last weekend we had a zillion things to do, and enjoyed every single one of them. This weekend, I had a friend coming in from Stillwater, and a anti-Super Bowl party at the knitting store. John Paul decided he should take the gun he got last weekend home and test it out. So, it sounded like I would be busy, but I'm finding I have a lot of boring time on my hands lol!

I baked a lot. I made bread for a church fundraiser, and brownies and fudge for the super bowl party. I can't wait to go to that in a few hours. I'm going to get help on a pair of socks I'm knitting, and work on my Leia hat, which I've got almost nothing done on. I lost my pizazz for it quickly!

It's strange being married. This week I spent a lot of time cooped up in the house with John Paul because of the weather. (which turned off to be 60 just a day or two later. crazy Oklahoma) He doesn't do cooped up in the house well. I was having a great time cooking, playing the wii, and surfing the net. He was hating being inside, so we took a walk to Auto Zone. About 5 blocks, which was fun in the sleet! I had spiked things I put on my shoes to not fall.

So, My thought was, we were cooped up together and he was grumpy. When he decided to go to Chickasha for the weekend I was like good riddance for about 5 minutes. I realize that even if he's a little annoying some times when he gets bored, I'd rather have him nagging me about something to do, than not have him around at all. I can't wait for him to get back tonight!!!
