man oh man. I haven’t done a single thing today. Davey worked in the garage on various guitars and whatnot.

Anyways, we’re watching Children of men right now. GREAT MOVIE.

 

So here goes my short view on the book THE HELP.
I really enjoyed the whole book. It makes you think about what things were like only 50 years ago. So much has changed since then, and we (my generation) just has no clue.

Can you even fathom a place where you couldn’t sit with african americans because of their color??? they are people too, but can you imagine people not feeling that way? anyways, the book was hard to read at times but great to read at times. it made me angry, laugh and cry. I think that is the sign of a good book. a good writer. I would suggest for everyone to read it, but I was a little disappointed in the end. but I think the movie will be good

anyways, im off to do something.

p.s.

we’re excited to be living with my brother and his wife. that’s who we will be with up there, and we like them so it’ll be good lol

It’s a new dawn, a new day

 

And I’m feeling gooooooood.

Anyways, we’re with david’s family this week. we are both finished with our jobs and are just trying to tie up all these last minute ends before we go.

anyways, im gonna go find something to do. ill write again soon.

<3

This is the FINAL COUNTDOWN!

 

doo doo dooo dooooo do do do do do.

So. LESS THAN TWO WEEKS. it’s been very…surreal. is that the right word? I’m getting more and more scared to move, but I’m still excited. I’m excited for a new adventure with my new husband. I’m excited for us to make our own memories that we will be able to tell our kids and our grandkids about the first time I moved away from home.

Tomorrow is my last day at work. I have worked there for just short of 4 years. and I actually like that job. even though it’s been really really tough at times, I’ve always enjoyed being there. The ladies (and guys) have always been so good to me and watched out for me and just taken care of me. It’s going to be hard on me, I know it. They had a going away luncheon for me the other day but I refused to tell anyone bye because I didn’t want to cry. instead I got in the car and cried the whole way home. Later that night, husband’s job had a going away party and even though I don’t even know but like 2 of them, I got really sad at one point and had to walk outside to keep from crying. it’s wasn’t until we are leaving that we realized how many people actually like and care for us. While it’s not the same people we used to hang out with, it was a whole new group of people we just kind of didn’t think about. and now it’s a little too late.

you really find out who your real friends are when you move. when I left Ohio I found out that I had 4 girls who stayed my friend/became good friends with me after I moved. and then oddly enough, my ex and I became good friends again. but not a single person I had hung out with on a daily basis talked to me again for almost 5 years. That’s all a big messy sad story on it’s own. Something I regretted for many years, but it’s paid off now.

Anyways, with us moving right now, we are really seeing who actually cares to see us before we go. the people who are actually making an effort along with us to see each other. the people who are like “oh yeah lets hang out” but they never bother to answer or help figure out a time. So, we have been hanging out with the people who matter most. the people who care to see us. it’s a sad and harsh reality, but such is growing up.

for now, as I sit here in this boxed up room with 23 years of memories in boxes, I feel like this is a fresh start. a terrifying, stressful, fresh start. I am going to believe that it is the right thing we have chose to do and that in the end it will all work out for the best. I am teetering on the edge of not caring and crying my eyes out, and yet I feel so at peace. I know this is the right thing for us to do right now in our lives. I know we have each other and family who support us. I just feel like I’m getting in over my head. I guess we’ll see. goodnight all. I’ll write my view on the book “the help” tomorrow.

sad days…

 

I said my first goodbyes tonight. It was pretty hard but I held it together pretty well. I think that since we said we’d try to get together in the next week or two it wasn’t so hard, but I know it isn’t going to happen, which makes me sad. This is going to be so hard.

 

 

For the last two days we’ve been trying to track down our shot records. WHY does no one keep records of these things? we might have to both get like 5 shots just because we can’t find documentation of having them. I have a scar from one test, and no one has anything that says I got it.  arghhhhh.

Ah well, I just thought I’d update this tonight. I’m watching season 1 of GLEE. I LOVE GLEE. YAYYY haha anyways, I’m going to finish this while the man isn’t home lol. good night all <3

Handful of wedding pics

David waiting for everyone

Dad giving me away

Kiss your bride!!

We’re so good lookin

First Dance, THOSE KEYS!!

The best night of our lives we had such a great, perfect time.

Another day, not another dollar…

BLAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

I was writing a dinner we are having on the 21 on my calendar, and realized that the 21 is next saturday!! That means I have this week and next of work and that is it, I am finished. 4 1/2 years at the library and the job is just…done. I cried for a good half hour last night because I realized I only have 2 more weeks to go to church here. We will be spending about 5 days with my in-laws before we move. I’m really starting to get shaken up (shook up?) by the whole idea of moving. I need to get our school stuff finished up and sent in, get bank accounts taken care of, close out other affairs. I just want to shut down and hide then maybe it will all just happen on its own. I can dream, right?

I spent the day cleaning the house and packing up miscellaneous crap in our room. It feels a little more livable. Hopefully tomorrow we’ll get things arranged better and stored a little better for the next two weeks. I know the rest of the family here will be happy to have the extra room.

I’m watching Psych right now, I always love the clips of them when they were kids that they play at the beginning. I hope our kids have imaginations.

Meh, will this move really get easier on me? yes, I hope so. But for now it’s gonna suck.

I’m reading the book “The Help” by Kathryn Stockett and let me tell you, it is really good. I am really enjoying it and I can’t wait to see the movie. Next on my list is Water for Elephants, I’m about half way through it but I packed it up already. I thought about reading the last Harry Potter again but didn’t want to be that person that reads the same series over and over just because I like it. I need to find another really good series to read. I’m just so picky.

I hope I have time to read when school starts, but knowing me I’ll spend my spare time doing craft stuff when I’m not studying which basically means never haha. I hope I can finish this degree up in the next two years, but it will probably be more like 3. oh well. I’m really excited about studying biology so I hope I do well in it.

well, I’m going to go read some of The Help and head to bed. Hopefully the hubzand will be home soon. Goodnight!

T-25 days

Well, I have now been Mrs. Dampier for 5.5 months now. It has been such a great time. Mom has been getting better little by little. She still has a lot of problems, but she will be healthy again. David and I are moving in 25 days to the north. We are really excited to start school up there and get on with our lives. We feel like Memphis is just an empty hole. It has us in a rut. While I am super bummed about leaving my friends and family here, hopefully I can mend up some of those old friendships from the Akron area over the next few years. But I am going to miss my friends here a lot.

I have never been away from home for more that 6 months and even then I only went to Nashville. And I was terribly homesick. So this is definitely going to be an adventure for me. But I have David with me. And we are moving in with my brother and his wife so that will make it easier on me. All of this sucks though because I just got sister in laws (well, in law and girlfriend in laws) that I am cool with and can talk to and stuff and now I’m moving really far away! BOO THAT.

Ah well, I’m watching the office right now where Dwight is in charge of the office. It’s a pretty great episode, as they all are.

I guess I have this just to document our move and lives and whatnot. I will try to update it for my sake as much as possible. I’ll try to put wedding pictures or something up later :)
