Special Moments...

Sometimes there are moments in life that are just so perfect you can't help but just smile at the wonder of it all. These are the moments where things just seem to come together. It's funny how it's always the little things that do it.

Like today for example...my rear passenger tire was looking very low. This was not good consdering that Andrew had just checked my tire and filled it up with air less that 2 weeks ago. Anyway, my mom is super insistant that it needs to be checked by Sam's Club's tire people. This is really annoying becuase I was not going to want to have to pay money to get it fixed. After waiting over and hour the guy hands me back the key and says that he fixed the flat tire. When I look at the recipt my total is $0.00. This was the BEST! Not only did I not have to deal with the tire anymore, but it all got fixed for free.

The second little moment that  was so perfect was taking a bike ride. This may not seem like much, but I have not rode a bicicle outside of the gym in years. It was so refreshing to ride around The Woodlands feeling the cool early summer air on my face. I wish the ride would have gone on longer but I thought Lauren was going to come over (which she ended up not).

The third, and perhaps all around BEST thing that happened to me today was getting a simple message from the love of my life. The message said...
"I believe once in a lifetime someone comes into your life who changes who you are. They make you better. They make you want to do the right thing. You start making decisions and taking actions that not only benefit you, but benefit this person also. In other words, you love this person. I love you Karina"
It was with those words right there that I know above everything that I want things to work between Andrew and I. I want to be his wife and spend the rest of my life with him. He is the one for me :)

Rebellion...

Civil unrest and rebellion...At the rate things are going I may not even be able to go to Afica in June. Things are just all falling to shit there.

This fucking sucks.

Some time to kill...

I'm meeting Lauren for church class in an hour so I have some time to waste right now...what better way to spend time then by updating about my life. haha. anyway...

8 more work days to go until I get to quit! HOORAY! Not that it was a bad job to have for the last 2 years, but my time is way up with that place. Besides, the drama there is out of control. There are a few great people that I work with that will be missed, but for the most part I want to punch the rest in the face. The best thing that came out of working there was a great boyfriend...Andrew :) If I wouldnt have stayed there as long as I did we never would have met, so for that I am grateful.

I'm at my mom's house right now, and it seems like every time I come here I am further rminded of why I hate being here so much. My dad is a complete a$$hole. I hate the way that he talks to me and my brother and my mom. He is just an unhappy old man and I hate being here when he's home. Ugh. Im sure one day someone will read this and think that it's mean that I just wrote that, but hey...you didnt grow up with the guy.

I spent the majority of the day today with LoMo and Cy (Lauren's 3 year old nephew). It was a lot of fun. We had a healthy lunch and Sweet Tomato, and then we went to the mall. Lauren wa helping me find clothes for Africa. So far we got 2 dresses. Cy was wanting to be helpful by carrying my bag for me, but with him being such a little guy I ended up carrying it most of the time. I bought a new ring that says "faith" on the outside and "live by faith, not by sight" on the inside. so that totals out to being 2 new dresses, a sweater type thing (because the dresses are strapless and the Peace Corps would not approve), and a new ring. Cy and I bonded over chocolate milk lol. That kid is the best. The rest of the day has been spent on facebook and surfing the web.

Things at home have been ok for the most part. Yesterday Andrew and I watched outside and Patches was playing with 3 puppies. They had snuck under the fence and came into our yard, 2 little girls and a boy. They were all so cute. I wanted to keep them but Andrew made me put them back. We had dinner and rent a ridiculouse movie lol. It was nice to just be home, we had been bickering a little so it was nice just cuddle and relax.

Blah

I think that I am having bloggers block lol. Everytime I get on my blog I can never think of anything to write, even when I have thought of a million things that I want to write about when I can't. Boo. I just finished reading a really great book. It's called "True Colors" by Kristin Hannah. This book was so amazing. I went out last night with Raullie and Jackie and when I was driving I was thinking about how much I wanted to know how the book ended. Haha, that made me actually laugh out loud right now. I was out on a girls night with 2 really great friends and I was wishing that I knew how a book ended. What a dork.

We went out Papa's on the Lake. It's this cool bar and grill type thing where in the summer you can swim and play volleyball and drink right on Lake Conroe. It was cool, but a little pricey. It started to get kind of cold so we decided to go to Rookies. That's where we totally went loose and had drinks and shots and played bingo. It was great. We had an amazing time. Until that is I went to go pick up Andrew from Justin's house. We got in a fight. We are over it now, but actions still speak louder than words.

Haven't heard anything new from the Peace Corps. Still planning on leaving June 6th! Yay!

I still hate my job. I only have 12 days left. Tomorrow work is throwing me a surprise party, too bad 6 different people told me about it lol. It should hopefully be fun. Hope no one is there that I dont like lol.

Tonight I am supposed to be going to dinner with Lauren and then to church class and to have drinks but she is always late to everything so I'm sure we will skip dinner.
