Day 8- Oooo Satisfaction

Day 08- A moment where I felt most satisfied with myself.

In this moment, I was pregnant, my parents knew it, I knew that they still loved me and we were loving on a sweet puppy and I was visiting my brother in Austin. I missed Mike, but I felt really loved and wasn't worried about the future at all.

I was happy here. The weather was perfect, I was with my best friends and I felt totally un self-conscious. It was a wonderful trip.

It was graduation. I was happy and excited for me and my family and my friends and my then boyfriend. Everyone was happy, I had just gotten my car and all I was worried about was what party to go to that night!

Day 1

Discuss your current relationship.

My relationship. Well, I'm engaged to a great guy and we have twins.

Because we're a young, unmarried couple with 2 children, we have problems. Although, quite honestly, I think that if we didn't have problem, it'd be pretty weird.

The best example I can think of of what kind of couple we are is that last night we watched Sweeney Todd and played Super Mario Smash Bros. and Mario Kart on the Wii. We laugh hysterically and my profanity was increased by how utterly terrible I was on the Wii.

Our relationship, while incredibly difficult because of various self imposed problems/blessings (living with parents, TWINS, lack of a job (me) etc), however, together, we are perfect. And by perfect, I mean we fight like cats and dogs, make up like best friends and support each other well. He's the first person I call with good or bad news and my last call at night. He busts his ass for me and the kids. When he isn't at work, he's at my house, helping with the kids. He's a great daddy.
Before we had kids, he was my best friend. He was my new years kiss for three years running, even though we'd only dated a year and a half. He proved my gut instinct right. He grew a beard for me. My Lord of the Rings obsession and his Star Wars love gives us great chemistry. As far as music goes, our only common ground is what musicals we like...0.o

He is the handsomest guy in the world. He went to the beach with me. The first time we dated he called my parents and talked to them (which thoroughly cemented in my head what a different guy he was). He makes me want to be a better person. He also puts up with my swearing, helps me be neater, washes the dishes and I can't WAIT to marry him....Only 565 days to go !

Any hoo, as things go, especially considering the difficult circumstances, we have a great relationship. :)

Many looks of a HellKitten

This is my kitten. He likes to take showers with me. He is disgustingly cute and cuddly and when I move out, I fully plan on stealing him.

Vamp face.

This is last easter. I'm holding a bear dog rottweiler puppy. I say all that to say this.

She is a beastly rottweiler now. And she still hugs me like in the picture and sits on my lap. And since she weighs about 80 lbs, it is not near as much fun as you might expect.

My fiance took this photo. I was actually doing a photo shoot for him, and now that I've actually wrote that, I realize how weird that sounds. BUT, in his defense, the new duster was awesome and if I'd gotten one I'd totally want a photo shoot to go with it too.

Anyhoo, I was running towards him and he was like STOP! MUST HAVE CAMERA.

And made me re-run, because he liked that running look so much. I'm shocked at how good they look. This is my favorite, it looks so carefree.

This is my day job.

I'm kidding, but I wish it were. I'd be a great assassin. Anyway, semi-professionally done photo shoot, but it's only semi because I'm not a real model. :)

THIS is how to show off a car. I chose the least provocative photo in this group of pictures, because, hey, the internet is forever and my dad reads this blog occasionally. I don't look happy, but it was one of those perfect fall days.

This was the beginning. Or nearish to the beginning of the second time we dated. Amazing day with the girls and Mike.

This is my awkward come-hither picture. I can't BELIEVE how much this picture makes me laugh, mostly because on facebook, I had an ex comment about how the only thing he'd complain about in this picture was the bed.

This is the first photo I can remember taking of myself. I think I had just transferred from private to public school for the first time in freshman year and judging by the look on my face, I was feeling particularly emo that day. I took that picture on my first phone and I'm still surprised that the camera on my phone was so good.

Anyway, even if I look all creepy and whatnot, I love this picture.

Bad picture, amazing memory. Night before Scottish Festival, couldn't sleep, I was so excited.

The next day I spent all day with my best friends, my almost boyfriends and danced a wonderfully romantic dance. I also grew much closer with lots of people. It was an epic day.

Also, I could swirl my skirt. At my wedding, this dance will be recreated. OH HELLS YEA.

The day after graduation. New car, no makeup, no sleep and soooooo happy to be done.

First dance of the freshman year. OH MY GOD THAT SHOWER CURTAIN.

Anyway, I seriously thought I was hot stuff. And my stockings were totally ruined that night from all the barefoot dancing I did. Retrospectively, I think that I should have worn a dancing dress, not a standing dress.

Interesting day. Almost drowned.

Modeling with younger cousins

The inspiration for this post is from Gala Darling. She is my new discovery and although she's been around since 2008, her site just blows my mind. Her radical self love is inspirational and I love her. In a quiet way. <3>
