It's 4:00 am and I don't know what woke me up, but I can't go back to sleep. I was just looking at the blog two days ago and noticed how nothing new had been written in a long time so I wanted to take this time to thank my wonderful, beautiful, amazing bride for putting up with me and all my stress from this semester. Then I see that she posted just yesterday! Lol.
Laura, I love you with everything good that I posses within me. When I wake up in the middle of the night and find myself almost falling off the bed cause you have snuggled up to myside, my heart melts and it keeps me up wondering how come you love someone like me so much. To everyone reading this blog, Laura is truly one of a kind. She is the "butter of my bread!" She is my joy!

Life's Journeys
Well, I have not blogged in a while and not a lot has gone on so here I am. It is a wonderful, beautiful, fall afternoon and we are just enjoying our time one with another. Garon and I have been staying pretty busy but with just the normal routine things. We are approaching the holiday season and we are figuring out what to do, how to do it, and at the same time we continue to find deeper meaning for everything.
We will be making a trip to IL for Thanksgiving which we are pretty excited about. My cousin lives up there and has no family around so it will be a great thing to be able to help her out a bit.
For Christmas we will be going down to Texas. We miss all of our great friends and family down south but I must say the weather is much better up here.
For New Years, we don't have anything too exciting as of right now, I am sure we will come up with something though.
It is crazy to think that the year 2009 is coming to a fast close. Where has time gone and what have we done. I have been thinking about the past year and the things I have accomplished, the things I should have accomplished, and the many great moments I have shared with those around us. In October we were able to make a trip to Utah and I absolutely loved it. We were going on not so great circumstances but it was such a humbling and self-fulfilling experience.
My life is truly blessed to have some really wonderful people in it. I know that when things get difficult and the way a little weary there is always somebody or something I can lean up on. This life is a grand adventure and I am so happy to be here, to wake up in the morning and to witness the growth of others. As Chicken Little says it, "Today is a new day".
I am so grateful for Garon and the companionship which he offers. I am "one of the lucky ones". I never imagined how great it would be to have somebody by my side who would hold me up through the darkest of darks and rejoice in the happiest moments. Thank you Garon. Over the past year and a half we have seen a lot, been through a lot, and have managed to help each other along as we wondered the path of our journey.
Everything seems to be pretty much same old same old.

Garon Chillin in the Pool
So, Garon has no clue this is here yet...I am waiting to see just how long it takes for him to realize I have updated (again)...
I LOVE YOU GARON!!!
I LOVE YOU GARON!!!

Time Has Passed us by...
Well, I have done it again. I have let the moments of time pass me by just as sand through the finger tips.
We have been going non-stop pretty much the entire month of July but I have been loving life. I went to Houston and saw my cousin Monica and her new little bundle of joy and had a wonderful time with the Hindmarsh family. I miss being so close to them but we are finally starting to slowly adjust to it. Two weeks after that visit Garon and I both made a visit down to SE Texas (Lumberton, Beaumont, and Groves) for the wedding of his brother T.J. We really miss the people but realized that we don't exactly miss the weather.
Meanwhile, two weeks ago, my cousin Corrie and her family came in for a visit for you sister (my cousins)'s wedding which happened today, August 1, 2009. It has been a crazy but fun-filled couple of weeks. We weren't exactly use to having eight people in our house all the time but now that we are approaching the go home time we are wondering what we will do once everybody is gone.
The past few weeks Garon and I both have had some eye-opening moments and I am so grateful when they come along. We have learned much about our families, each other, and most of all ourselves. There is nothing like taking a moment and stepping back to take a glance of the big picture. What I mean is when things get crazy and chaotic we tend to forget about the "end goal" and have a hard time seeing past the fog in front of us. We have so much to be grateful for and I cannot even begin to put it in words (mainly because I know I will leave a bunch of stuff out and that just wouldn't be good).
We are anxiously awaiting the quick approach of school which starts ummmmm...THIS MONTH...Garon will go back full time and continue working part-time and I will continue working - ANYTHING TO GET HIM THROUGH SCHOOL!! :) Love you Babe! We have recently started tossing the idea around of me going to school but are just trying to figure out how to make it work. I know that is what I NEED to do and it is something that I WANT to do. I do realize or hope to realize that I wouldn't finish school here in Arkansas but I so okay with that. Somehow the mention of going back somewhere in TX after his graduation keeps coming up but I keep reminding him that since we have met we have said we would like to live somewhere where they have four different seasons, a place where it is hot in the summer and cold in the winter. I guess only time can tell where we will go. Now, if Garon does go for his Masters which I believe he wants to do that would in about a year and a half put us in TX for that degree but who knows from there. But, all of this is a LONG WAYS DOWN THE ROAD...
Now that I have taken a step into the future lets come back to reality, we are here in AR, going to school, working and trying to pay the bills. Which means, we are NORMAL young married people who have an amazing road of love, laughter, joy, and friendship ahead of us. Life is Great!
I love you Garon and am so happy that I will be able to grow old and gray with you (try to keep out the gray part though)!!
Side Note: I tried to upload some pictures but after over an hour of waiting I gave up. Garon has got to clean out the computer or the uploader thing-a-ma-jig isn't working right...one day I will get some put up.

Life
So a few weeks ago I let the world know that I have been overwhelmed with happiness and no sooner than I speak trials tend to come my way.
Life is an interesting thing that I am so thankful to have. No matter how trying people, places, or circumstances may be I know that it is all going to be okay.
I am so grateful to have such an amazing husband who really cares about me and looks out for my best interest. I have been pretty much an emotional wreck for a week and he talked to the boss and is sending me away for a weekend so I ca relax and not worry about anything. Thank yo so much Garon for everything that you do.
All in all we are doing great. Ready for school to start (or more like be done) but that will be sure to come in time. I don't exactly know what all we do to stay busy but we tend to have something all the time.
