one month down.

Its been a CRAZY month.

Since then we've had some downs, but our prayers and the church have been helping us get through this small struggle.

One month down, forever to go.. and I'm forever grateful. Things are slowly changing....... For the better <3

wednesday night.

Tonight I'm helping Robb with his homework by listening to him read his book from his Criminal Justice (his major) class...

He's so cute when he reads :)

can't sleep....

Hi.
I can't sleep :(
So that's why I'm on my phone...... blogging away.

For some odd reason I've been having bad dreams at night that really just keep me up. I told Robby about my dreams and we both agree that something is wrong with me. Lol. Not to mention he said to  me, "You're like the most strangest person I've ever met with the weirdest dreams.."

...I don't know? Am I? Lol. 
Robby is sleeping. Well........ he's always sleeping. Since school for him started he's been getting to come home earlier! [insert smiley face]..... I think I was more excited than he was cuz I made him pick out an outfit and fix his hair... Haha... But then he knocks out around 9ish [insert sad face]. He'll literally come home, flop himself on the bed and say, "So how was your day?"- then while I'm chattin' away excited to tell him how my day was, I'll look over and there he is.... dead asleep. Lol.But that's okay :)

Its been almost a month now since we've been married. Wow, I can't even tell ya how fast it feels that time just flew by... and not a day passes that I don't find myself loving him even more than I did before.
Even when he tells me I have a serious problem with spending money on my 'wants', yet he tells me we need a 42'' flat screen and a bob marley poster in our living room.. 
...or when I asked him to get us hand soap for the bathroom and he comes home with DISH soap... for dishes we DON'T have.
...or how his snoring almost sounds like a dying bear being chocked to death yet he swears up and down that I'm lying and he doesn't snore.
[Until I recorded him and played it for him when he came home that next day :p]
Haha okaaayyyy, I'm done now. Lol. But even with allll that, I still love him regardless. Flaws & ALL ;)
I absolutely love that every night before we go to bed we kneel down & pray together.... something I never usually did on my own before we got married. It gives me comfort. Especially in a time like this where we're still working on settling-in in a new town with new people. Im still working on making some  friends.... Lol.
 
I'm also still in the process of finding a job which hasn't exactly been easy. Robs advisors have also been helping me as well which has definitely helped me a lot.

[P.S- I hate that I'm so bad at interviews. I can never say the right things!]

Anyways, till then I've just been applying at wherever. Hoping something, ANYTHING, will come through.

Today my sister Pumpkin texted me and said they're having a bbq for my niece who's turning 2.... and I cried. The only thing that can ever weaken me to the bone is missing my family. I feel so lucky to have Rob here with me to keep me from breaking down like I did almost ALLLLL the time in Missouri. Rob knows, and I do admit that I am a big cry baby at times. I miss my family. Especially my parents and little bro's.

Just some things that were on my mind.... :)

*little update

Ugh, I hate that our apartment doesn't have wifi AND my laptop is broken :(
the only internet we have are the ones on our phones. Lol. Because of which I'm not able to update my blog as much as I want to. (SUCKY!)
Which is why I'm at the business center on their computers. Lol.

Anyways.................

our [little but perfect] humble abode :)



the married life. Ohhhhhh how I absolutely LOVE being married :) Maybe it's just a newlywed thing, but I love the thought of having Rob to myself after all is said & done during the day. He makes me happy :) lol. We just moved into our apartment last week and so far its been great! Our apartment is tiny... but it's perfect just for the two of us. Things have been quite hectic though seeing as how Rob has already started training so he's gone from 5:30am to 10pm.... Literally. I've had to come up with ways to keep myself busy while he's away. I'm pretty sure I've done laundry just a LITTLE too much since we've been here.... Lol. And just the other day I found out that there's a bus stop right outside that could take us almost anywhere around Fayetteville. So I decided to hop right on that puppy and see where it took me. Lol.

I think this whole bus ride situation was meant to be because the bus took me straight to the MALL. Hahaha. So I explored a little bit, bought some and ate some new foods :) The mall... is my sanctuary. Lol. Rob knows how much I love to shop, so he was a bit worried that I was over there all by myself (usually he's there to talk me out of buying things that I WANT instead of NEED..) but I thought I did pretty good all by myself. Lol. Still wish he was there though....

It's a little hard not having him around as much as I want when we JUST got married. But I knew exactly what I was getting myself into.

Before we got here I didn't even realize how big of fans these people were for the UofA football team. They're literally DIE-HARD. And the team??.... Can you say SPOILED ROTTEN!? Sheeze, they're treated like KINGS over here.

..isn't that a nice stadium? Sometimes I take a morning jog and go watch his practices in the stadium... well, the ones that are open to the public at least. Lol. Even in their practices there are a good amount of people that just come to watch.... it's a freaking PRACTICE for crying out loud! haha. I guess that's how they roll over here though. I tried to take a couple pictures of him during his practice and a guy came up to me and told me I need to put my camera away... Lol.


Aside from his busy schedule, when he IS home or when he gets time.... that's when we try to make the best out of his free time by taking walks. Even if it's just to the mailbox. Lol. Oh, and cause we don't have a car... Lol- but I think that taking walks together and such gives us time to just talk and catch up :) It amazes me how he makes me laugh so hard my stomach hurts.... STILL. And gives me butterflies.... STILL. And is just so flippin' HOT.......... STILL! Lol. Okay, I think I'm milking it now.

Bottom line, I just love my husband. Hopefully next time I'll have a better blog. I just have to make this one short since I'm on the apartment computers and other people need them..... Lol. Plus this girl has been waiting for almost an hour for a free computer and I feel bad. Lol.

Till next time,
<3nik
