THE FAMILY

The family. We were a strange little band of characters trudging through life sharing diseases and toothpaste, coveting one another's desserts, hiding shampoo, borrowing money, locking each other out of our rooms, inflicting pain and kissing to heal it in the same instant, loving, laughing, defending, and trying to figure out the common thread that bound us all together. ~Erma Bombeck

family drama fo yo mama

I am so sad right now at what went on at my parent's house last night. If you don't already know, you don't need to know but it feels like some things are just so fragile. Our family dynamics are crazy! Last night was definitly a bit white trashy if you ask me, I am kind f embarrassed! I just dont think we were raised that way and it annoys me! I really worry about my family, specifically my nieces. I hate to think that one day, they will look back on their childhood and remember these types of squables. I just feel like some things never change and it is so frustrating. All I can do is hope things get better. It kills me to hear my mom cry, family should not do that to one another. We need therapy! We shall see how interesting Thanksgiving is. I told Jennifer if anyone starts to fight, she needs to say "please stop, you are going to make me go into labor!"...it may work!
On a happier note... my siser looks awesome! It is hard to believe she is so far along, it gives me hope for the future! She carries the baby well and I have never seen her look so pretty. I am excited.
Me and Nick are planning away at our future. It is really exciting, I can't go into too much detaill but things are really falling into place. We are currently looking for movers, so if anyone knows any good ones, HOLLA at me! It is going to be a rough transition but I think we can do it and I can't wait until graduation. I think I may cry, like I am graduating! I told nick that he needs to buy me a graduation present for all the lonly nights I had to endure. :) we shall see! lol.
I have been working sooo much lately, I can't wait to go home. I am trying to cram two weeks worth of work into one. I was out until 8:30 last night. It sucked. I need to be working on my stupid essay for the teaching program that I am applying to, but I think I have writers block. Can you have writers block before you even start? The topic is "why I want to be a teacher and what experiences I can bring into my teaching that will benefit the students". If that isnt a bull shit topic I dont know what is. I guess I would think any topic is bull. :) I am trying not to be a negative nancy but I hate essays! I may get Jenn to help me when I go home. I remember sitting up late at night sometimes in her room with her watching her type last minute essays. It is funny the things you remember from when you were a kid! I specifically remember her typing christmas poems for the newspaper :) She could come up with a mean xmas poems people! Ah, good times! I bought scrabble, so I cant wait to bring it home and rumble. Oh, how I love the dysfunction that is the Crosbie's :). What fun would life be if it were boring?

UGH, overworked and underpaid!

I am really aggravated, overworked and underpaid for the crap I have to deal with! I have been working so much and have been so stressed. Hopefully, things will get better.
This past weekend Nick and I saw the movie "Changeling".... awesome movie, highly recommended. Even Nick loved it. I also got to go to the new outlet mall. They have all new stores and I was there ALL day. My legs even hurt when I got home. I got Nick to rub them and we laughed about how high maintenance I will be once I am pregnant. lol, God love him for putting up with my whiny butt! Anyways, that pretty much sums up my life lately.

Beautiful babies!

I got these pics sent to me from Jenn not too long age. These are from Sara's birthday that I could not make it to. I edited them a little bit, aren't these girls beautiful! They are growing so fast, I almost can't believe my eyes! I remember the day both of them were born! Now I feel old. Anyways, enjoy!

Anniversary pic

me and my honey :)

Nick and I celebrated out second anniversary this past week. It was really nice, we went to Caps on the water (my fav). I have decided that every year on our anniversary we have to take a picture. I think it will be funny to watch our age progression. lol It is hard to believe that two years went by already.

Some Halloween pics, late post

Birthday, Halloween, anniversary!

So I realized today I haven't blogged since my bday! My birthday was great! Me and the girls from work went to Copelands for lunch. Everything was delicious and we had a good time. I got back to work and a big box arrived. On top was a picture of Kali, three cards, a halloween night shirt, a halloween cup with gummy bears (which made me smile, I knew that was Kali's doing!) and a coach purse!!! I was totally shocked. I really liked the purse but the color was orange. And I thought if a purse if that expensive I want to use the hell out of it, so I reluctantly called my mom and asked if I could exchange it. I went the next day and it should be shipped to my house soon, like tomorrow, I can't wait! Needless to say, it was so sweet and thoughtful, it really made my day. I also got sweet text messeges and calls all day, I felt really special. That night, Nick took me to a Louisiana style resteraunt in St. Augustine. It was funny because I had almost the exact same thing for lunch. It was still very good though...Harry's. He also bought me an ice cream cake with was delicious and we are still finishing it off. It was one of the best birthdays I have ever had. 23 will be sweet indeed, this year will bring many changes for me and Nick. We day dream about his graduation, buying a house, moving home, having kids... good things to come.

Halloween was fun. We went to my friend Jodi's house for a party. I was dressed in a last minute hand-me-down costume that i tweeked and made my own. I was a cheetah!! It was cute. Nick thought it would be cheaper to make a costume and he was little John...HUH? WHAT? OKAY? He totally sold it but got a little carried away and ended up spending a ton of money to look ghetto. It was funny, he really thought he looked cool :). After, instead of going out in Jacksonville and having to drive all the way home Nick and I went out in St. Augustine. They had some interesting costumes to say the least. I will post tonight if I had time. We had fun!

I am cooking chili right now because I was craving it today. I was so bored I went to Marshall's (for the second day in a row) and to the movies by myself. I walked in the theatre and was the only one there. I thought to myself, well this is St. Augustine so it is now too far fetched for me to e in here by myself. I sit a while and realize, I am an hour early. I did not remember to change the time in may car. So I sat for an hour. I saw Zack and Miri make a porno. It was pretty dirty to say the least, but entertaining. So I am going to take a shower and get ready for desperate housewives. Tomorrow is me and Nick's 2nd anniversary. We are going to our favorite resteraunt. I am excited. I can;t believe it has been two years already. Time really flies. I still look at our wedding ipctures and I feel like I can remember every detail. :)
