Crazy job, crazy cat, crazy marriage

Hah! Most of you are probably thinking this will be a post about all of the crazy mad things going on in my life, but mostly it's joy I've found out of the norm.

First, I got a new job and I can't tell you how nice it has been. My previous job had definitely run its course and it was time for me to move on. I interviewed a couple of times with the company for a couple positions and was offered the second position I interviewed for. Originally, I was underwhelmed. (Sorry, you can't be just whelmed.) There didn't seem to be enough for me to do. That isn't the case now. Now, I've got projects to work on, help to give, and experiences to have. It's great.

Oh, and there are some simple joys too. The elevator are like a miniature adventure on their own. You enter the floor you want on the key pad then get in the letter elevator it shows. (So there are no floor buttons in the elevator.) It also moves REALLY fast (45 mph). It moves fast enough that my stomach jumps every time I ride it. And the view from the building is awesome! You can see all of downtown, the Capitol, some hawks/falcons, and rainstorm IN the clouds. Seriously, so cool!

As for my crazy cat and crazy marriage, my husband loves me. (I know mushy, and you're all ahhing.) Anyhow, back to the story. Ballou (See adorable picture. He was a stray I Dr. Dolittled and brought home.)

is normally a VERY active cat. (He plays fetch like a puppy.) I started to notice he wasn't playing like he normally did. Instead he was more lethargic and 'talked' more too. I started to get worried and took him in to an emergency vet. (I could bore you with the details, but I don't know that you really care that much.) Needless to say, he was sick, but could be fixed. Downside, the price it would cost.

I love all of my cats and couldn't put him down because of the cost. Fielding, on the other hand, isn't a fan of spending a lot of money on an animal. But like I said, he loves me. He was willing to invest the money in my cat because he knew it would make me happy, and I love him more for it. Ballou came home three days later and is back to his old self.

Lastly, I'm going to rant (or put my opinion out there because I have a lot of them). Who really believes that all marriages are utter perfection and just magically float along on wishes and dandelion fluff? I'm proud to admit that marriage and relationship doesn't. Fielding and I work on our relationship all the time. We remember the other person isn't trying to be mean by what they say and don't demean each other. And the benefit, Fielding and I love spending time together. We can talk about anything, can work through anything. And so long as we are willing to do those things, we'll always a future and forever.

Holy Carp

Okay, so I know it's a lame title, but in a time crunch that is what I came up with.

I didn't realize how long it's been since I last posted anything. Plus, let's face it. Blogs are always more fun with pictures and sadly I just don't really have that many pictures. (It's hard to take pictures of yourself while holding the camera.) But if this weekend goes as planned (even if I'm not really looking forward to it). I should have a new up to date family picture. Hooray for the picture. Boo for the time to take said picture.

Anyhow, lets see how every thing is going...

School is crazy. Seriously, I re realized that I suck at writing papers. I just can't seem to get the words to come out in an interesting way that all makes sense and is wonderful to read. (For some odd reason my brain says that is how it HAS to be.)

Work is crazy. We're implementing a new QMS (Quality Management System). It's a complete overhaul is taking up any spare minute I might have to blink.

Life is good. I've gotten to see two movie recently with Megan. (Easy A and Secretariat) Easy A was worth a matinee. Not bad, but not great. I loved Secretariat though. It made me want to go watch a horse race, buy a big hat, and race a horse. (I'll have to see how many of those I can do.) Spent time with the family.

Outside of that I turned another year older and seem to be pretty on track with where I want to be in life. I know it's weird, but I really never wanted or saw myself getting married before I was 25. And I wanted to graduate from college before having kids. (I know weird for someone from Utah.) So as far as I can tell, I got married early (21), am still working on school (3 semesters hopefully to go), and am on track to having/adopting/buying/stealing/borrowing kids in the next few years. (Lol) So yeah. All in all life is right about where it should be.

Oh, and just as a side note, if you ever get the chance to bedazzle anything you should do it. It's always guaranteed to be a lot of fun. Fielding and I bedazzled the heck out of a pair of plastic flamingos for his parents. It was a lot of fun. (Okay, so they weren't really sparkly enough for me. I wanted them to shine like a disco ball, but no dice. Oh well, it was still fun.)
