Wow, things have been absolutely insane around here - not insane as in fast paced, but crazy with all of the stuff we have to unpack and fit into a three closet apartment with a 25 square foot kitchen. It's been quite eye opening as to just how much stuff we have and use and it really is true, there's nothing like moving to make you throw out half your stuff.

I have been a bit discouraged since coming down here. I'm so busy unpacking and sorting through things (and it's taking forever) that I'm beginning to wonder when it all will return to normal - although, what is normal? The piles o' stuff have been drastically reduced, however, so there is a light on the horizon.

Hopefully, I'll be able to post some pictures of our little apartment soon. I think that's quite appropriate: my first blog pictures are of my first apartment. =)

It's been great just hanging out with EJ (although, he had his wisdom teeth out yesterday, so he's a little doped up on Vicodin right now). We had some problems the first few days. Apparently, I changed when I first got here and was rather unpleasant for him to be around. I don't really know why, but I was nagging and being mean and couldn't take his joking and kidding - something which is very much a part of his personality. I didn't actually notice this until he point blank told me. I felt terrible about it and have been working really hard to stay pleasant and cheerful. Working on your attitude really can change it, because he complimented me on how much nicer I've been to be around and I myself have been happier overall. ^_^

So this is "real" life. Hmm. Kind of a lot like life before - only different.

Huh. This is so odd. EJ found out where he's being stationed today. He thought at first that he'd try and be funny and tell me he got unaccompanied orders to Japan for two years - and I hung up on him. Then he told me where he really got put and ... well ... it's not Michigan. It's in the south. I'm not a southerner; I'm a yankee to the core. =} I've lived the majority of my life in Michigan. Sure, I've visited other places - a lot of places, in fact, but I can't really remember living anywhere other than the mitten. I'll miss showing people where I live using my hand. I'll miss the Michigan accents. I'll miss the snow. I'll miss the seasons. I'll miss making fun of the Canadians. Basically, I'll miss everything but the nanny-like, bloated government run by a former Canadian . Ugh. I hate the heat. Okay, I'm waxing sentimental. Sorry. I'll go reminisce about my home state alone. At least I'm not leaving until May....

They Are Not Mine

I have no children of my own yet, wich means all of my thoughts come from the outside looking in, but I've been thinking lately about bearing children in the midst of the largest government takeover scheme since FDR (or maybe Jimmy Carter, I'm not very up on my 20th cent. American history). I'm also wondering how long it's going to take the government to move from essentially taking over such industries as automobile manufacturing to taking total control of our kids, communist style. I'm left wondering if having children is even a good idea when they could potentially be ripped from my arms and sent to state indoctrination centers leaving me with little to no influence over, or even contact with, them. I know about the demographic winter we're facing and, believe me, EJ can tell you how badly I want kids, so it says something that I'd actually consider not having any just so the state can't get their dirty, greedy hands on them. But then I realize that ....

Coming hard on the heals of my last post, this one will probably seem disjointed, but what I'm about to write actually occurred exactly one week ago. I eloped. That's right, I've covenanted with God and with EJ to be his wife until death takes one or both of us - and I mean it. =)
