Clean up

My husband and I moved into a little studio apartment in early April.

It has been almost a month later and we are still finishing all the unpacking.

We don't wave a lot of stuff, but going though everything and figuring out where to put it all is kind of a pain in the ass.

I wont to be done!

But there is so much to do, because not only did we move but it is our first place so trying to find the right place for all of OUR crap is a pain.

...and yes by 'our crap' it is mostly mine! yay for me I'm sentimental! but that's what happens when ya get a wife so haha ninner ninner booboo...

The place is starting to look nice though.

Man I tell you what it would take me even longer to clean up if I didn't have my husband.

Because I tend to slowly, I mill about when I clean my house, but when that guy starts to clean up he really gets down and dirty! And on top of that he is fast too.

Yay for me again!!

...hahahahahaha...

nature

I really like the dripping sap on this tree.

Just another day as a bizzzzy bizzzzy bee!

Free Time

I am finding that I know have a hole lot of free time in the evenings...so what is a girl to do with so much time??? And I can say from experience!

Nothing...well, play on the computer type of nothing ;)

For a woman with so many "need to do's", as my husband calls them, I surely would find something to do right?

.....no.....

I sit on the computer and look crap up, and play on the web!

Why?

...well., crap, I don't know...

Lately when I get home I don't wont to do anything but sit on my butt.

This makes no sense to me but it's what I have been doing.

My hubby was out of work for a while and in March he got a job. Yay!

But the new job hours leaves me lonely in the evenings, for now.

Sadly when we do get to be together I get out my(our) "need to do" list.

I've been asking myself why I tend to do this?

And I have come up with that I don't like to do things alone.

Sad? I don't know, it just is what it is.

I have things to do too! House crap that someone needs to do. Some of which I want to do. I just can not muster up the motivation to do.

....it's poop...

And even after writing this blog can I get up to do anything?

Nope

I just look at my "need to do's"

.....and star....no movement....no motivation....

OOOOOO! If I add a sigh to the lack of movement I can be even more pathetic!

hahahahahahah yay!

playing

Having fun with my sister.

Man of the Hour

I am intrigued by people.

In my life there have been many people I have found inspiring.

One of the people I find so dazzling is my very own Joshie.

Joshua Mompean is one of my brothers,

(I have two more plus a sister whom are also just as awesome!)

He is Mr. Hawk the superhero!

He is also in the middle of the biggest fight of his life.

We have Cystic Fibrosis.

His is way worse...dad says I always skated through it...

He has been through more then I can ever put onto a page.

Joshua Mompean, my Joshie, is a fighter!

Along with being a brother, he's also a husband, a son, a grandson, a talker (its the Mompean curse lol), caring, a family, loving, a pain in the ass, what!...yes sometimes all there is...is what!, giving, a man of the lord, sarcastic, a teacher, a forever student, LOUD, a friend, a hero and many others.

As a side note, I really wanted to put awesome, amazing and super good in front of some of those but..I thought that is would be a little much!

He is a fellow I have looked up to.

I love my brother.

I love my siblings.

They are wonderful, we love each othere very much and life wouldn't

have been so wonderful without them.

My brother and I are very much a like and very different.
We have a special bond and he will always have a speacial place in my heart.
No matter where he might be.

My only sadness is that I cannot be with him at this time,

as much as my heart desires, when in his life he needs suport from his famliy and friends.

Check out his story from age 3 here, to 26 here

Brilliant Sky

This holiday was a new one for me.

For the first time I spent it with a new family.

This year my husband and I spent our, first married, Christmas and New Years

with his side of the family.

(also the first Christmas I did send with mine.)

It was..I would say everything ha ha.

Crazy,very new, fun, crappy, exciting, frustrating, funny as hell, worried, and filled with music!

Brian (my wonderful husband), his brother and the cousins watched the Hangover...

They learned all the words to the Dug song and would not stop singing it all week!!!

And I mean the HOLE week and half we were there!

Hell I could not get the song out of my head the fist two days we were home.

The trip was good one.

Visiting with family who are awesome and now I! get to call my own!

So exciting!!

One of my favorite moments was when Brain and I were on the plane.

We had to book one of the super, balls early fights and as much and that sucked (for me) we were able to see the sunrise.

And for a girl who can be sentimental it was amazing.

Every time I see who wonderful the sky can be, I always think of my grandparents.

My grandpa dead when my papa was a kid so I have never met him.

But I have heard all about him my hole life.

And one thing I have heard for my grandma countless times is that he told her that the clouds and the sky are gods paintings.

Seeing sunsets and sunrises are extra special for me because of my family.

So the morning my new husband and I were on our way spend our first holiday away for my side of family was hard for me, but seeing the sky that morning made...my worry and sadness disappear.

Looking out the tiny window to see the bright pink sky made me happy.

It almost looking like the sky was burning pink it was so brilliant.

Thinking of grandparents and my new family made me excited for the coming holidays.

And tiered as hell because Brian and I hadn't slept.

After watching the sunrise we fell asleep on each other,

it was one of those rear romantic moments.

Only to be awoken by someone on the speak whom had set the volume to the loudest possible!

And my rear romantic moment was ruined!

Scared the crap out of us.

yummy goodness

My super awesome husband has been making dinner lately. The other night he called up his step mom and to get the recipe for Beer Chicken.
It is so good!

He rubbed seasonings on the chicken and then put a beer can, filled half way inside the chicken.

It had to cook in the oven for like two hours. It was so good when it came out!

By the time it was pulled out of the oven and cool down we were so very, very hungry. My husband was able to put a chicken on a plate before i came into the kitchen. We...well I... started eating the chicken in the kitchen right off the stove. He had tried to make instant potatoes to go with the chicken. Key word there is tried! hahaha! but not luck when the potatoes were done only the carcase was left.....

It was really good chicken.

The chicken itself was very juicy and I even dipped it into the juice that had dripped to the bottom of the dish making the chicken that much better!

It was gone so fast it reminded me of Thanksgiving. When everyone is yapping before the yummy goodness is in your mouth. When the dinner table is almost silent...for once. For just a moment you can only hear the taps of dinner forks tapping the plates. this lasts for only a minute before the food is gone.

Luckily he made two chickens! Can you say Leftovers!!!

I like to call them the Dancing Chickens!
