I kinda skipped over Feb. It was a great month though! We had a wonderful first Valentines day! We exchanged gift and then Christopher took me to a Japanese Steakhouse here in San Diego. We also kinda have decided we are going to try to do monthly/bi-monthly husband and wife days.
The official rules to husband/wife days are:
-The husband wife day activities are to be chosen by the day that it is.
-The only way to get out of a activity is if it has the possibility of causing bodily harm. ex:paintballing
-The opposite member that is treating the husband/wife to the day pays.
-Both members have to partake and be present in the activities.
Hahah we are weird yes I know but this is kind of something to look forward too.
Chris spend his days going to the San Diego 2012 Car exhibition, having BBQ, oh and going to the Monster Jam show.
I spent my day getting pampered. Hair Nails and a yummy dinner :)
We've already broke a few of the rules but hey were only human right! haha :)
San Diego has really grown on me..... not enough to where Id raise my kids here but it has grown on me.
I got a job at Point Loma Pet Pantry selling holistic dog food. I LOVE LOVE LOVE IT. I mean really how would it be possible for me to not like learning about pet nutrition, playing with dogs, and reading dog magazines all day??? NOT POSSIBLE!
I still have the overwhelming feeling that we are out here for a purpose besides exposing Chris to his first Radpro Job. We are newlyweds that have been through alot more things than I believe many other newly weds. However, I dont believe if we were at home we would get the opportunity to really depend on each other like we do here. I think San Diego is showing us how to be a independent unit outside of all of our influences at home.
So far I think that San Diego has taught me alot.....I have learned that its okay that Im the crazy dog lady because Im not the only one here in San Diego. Ive learned how to better take care of my dogs by maintaining a better diet and lifestyle. (Of which I know most people back home will find me crazy.. Oh well!) Ive learn how much I really appreciate and depend on my family and friends. (When they are not there its kinda a kick in the butt.) We've learned the importance of positive friendships and their influences. Chris is warming up to the idea that the beach isnt the absolute worst place in the world... theres always New Jersey right honey :)
and....
WARNING: If easly offended dont read on..... this is our blog and our thoughts... if you have thoughts and opinions start your own blog...... THANKS! :)
Ive learned here that sometimes people are not meant to see eye to eye. In my case those people are placed in a close postition to my family(CHRIS AND I). And I now understand that my upbringing and my husbands upbringing are very different (and strangely enough him and I see eye to eye) but, the difference in my opinion and members of his families opinion will never be the same. However, this will not continue to stress me out or compromise who I am anymore. Christopher and I partook in communion Sunday and I took it to heart about repenting and looking up. I have so much anxiety and anger in my heart because people cant see where Im coming from. And where Im coming from is a little town called I-KNOW-YOUR-BETTER-THEN-WHAT-YOUR-DOING-NOWville And yes I too dont easily see where other peoples views are opposed to mine. AND I will pray for those people and those issues but they wont hinder me anymore and they wont hinder my relationship with my husband because they have. Some things can be forgiven and changed or some people can be left behind unless they wake up is how Im looking at it . And I am taking this all from a quote I posted on facebook...."When you have to start compromising yourself or your morals for the people around you, its probably time to change the people around you." Its not necessary for people to stress me out. That results in giant arguements between us. In the end the stress brings on comments which brings on a gang mentality which brings on hatred and grudges and judging. And in the end no one even looks to the root of the source or to even me and say hey shes really upset about something and being the upset usally comes from hey she cares about that particular person and their issues. Well Im done Im beyond trying to help or care... When I have been told to not state my opinion... and I cant do so anyway with out backlash that makes me want to forget at all about the issue at hand and especially those that it deals with.... Im only one person I can only handle so much.... My husband is only one person he can only handle so much.... Yes its called life and life it tough for EVERYONE.... So were going to make it a little bit easier... by changing our philosophy of help... if you want our help then ask but you better expect to hear everything we have to say about whatever it is we are helping with..... if you dont want our help then thats fine were not going to go out of our way anymore to help...and if you know your in the wrong in a situation please think of us by keeping us out of it and changing what it is that your doing...That will prevent alot of arguing and all the other crap that follows ....
WOW that feels better everything off my shoulders.... Happy :) Now that that cat has been let out of the bag and I feel tons better I think today will be so much better once I grab a good book and hit the beach :)
Love yall!
