so my new favorite thing is going to breakfast with my joshua bear. i'm not normally a breakfast person-but half off coupons and my man seem to have changed that....well and maybe being waited on, i can't much object to that now. today we decided to go to ihop and got half off our meal! sweet dealio if you ask me! then i got the last few things i need to take on the trip next week, did the boys laundry since he's gone working all work, and now i just have my own laundry to do.......uh yeah about that. bleh. i'll put it off til friday i think.....maybe ha.
tonight we got to go with the whole watson clan (wes, kim, gramma and grandpa patterson, grandma and grandpa watson, wes's brother and fam) and patti and mike work for dinner at logan's and to see a play in which wes's nephew was part of the orchestra (he was on drums. and it was way cool.) the play was called All Shook Up and was SO cute and funny! i loved it! it was based in the 50's in a small town and used mostly elvis songs to communicate etc. definitely one to see if you ever get the chance! and grandma and grandpa invited us for a game of uno again-funny cause not 2 days ago in the car on the way to a job Josh and i were talking about how we should call them again and ask to play since we had so much fun the first time!
well i guess i'm off to bed now since i haven't had much sleep the last 3 days....poor joshua bear has to be up at 4:30 for work tomorrow......and he got home at midnight....and tomorrow night he'll be at a suns game that starts at 8:30 and be up again at 4:30-i'm hoping i can knock out the night shift early so the poor guy can get some sleep! we've been bombed with more jobs then we can handle this week-we're slotted to hire about 10 new guys and buy 3 trucks just to get through the next six weeks.....eeesh. and in all of this we are talking about moving to a central location and combining all offices......sometimes i think we are a liiiiittle crazy. but things are good, so i'm gonna be thankful!

manic monday
HOLY COW! the last few days have been CRAZY! we worked our buns off this weekend....in fact my feet and shoulder are still hurting, but that could just be from today's work! but i did get to work with my man so that was coolio! saturday i got to go to miss lindsay's baby shower! she is pretty much the cutest pregnant lady on the planet ever in the history of ever-it is kinda largely ridiculous, but i love that lady! miss emma got SO many cute cute things! i can't wait to see them all on her! sunday we got to sleep in, then the man and i went to his house to hang out and we watched a movie, did laundry, cleaned and played a game-very fun and quiet-well mostly quiet except for mad gab which turned into a whole lot of loud laughter, but that was okay. we also went to the toyota dealership in the afternoon so josh could look at the fj cruiser that he hopes to have-we'll see if we can get there! i hope we can get us both a new car fairly soon- but first we must focus on disneyland! it will be here in just a little over 6 weeks so we must save save save! i can't wait! there isn't much else exciting to report, and i'm rather tired from the urine, vomit, fire/water damage, and other glorious things i did today, including a mountain of paperwork (thank you man of mine for helping with all of these things, you are awesomely awesome.). so for now i am outta here and i will check back soon!

little victories
have you ever watched people bowling? like reeeally watched them? it's incredible. and i don't mean that in a really mean way actually-though some things you see are actually very funny-like the guy in the lane next to us who made a face, did this jump thing and a leap each and EVERY time he did ANYTHING. no matter how good or bad he did. he was loving his goofiness and having the time of his life with his girlfriend. and NO this was not joshua this time, though this might come as a shock to some of you that know him. he was rather calm today-i think from being exhausted from our ridiculous work day! anyway, so i enjoyed our date cause i always enjoy our dates, but also because i was loving all the people around us. there was a little family with a 3 or 4 year old and a 10 year old, i don't know if you have ever watched a tiny child bowl, but it was probably one of the most adorable things i have ever seen. she was precious. and then there was the chinese family next to us with a mom, dad, new baby and grandma, a young grandma, not like 80 lol. i loved watching them because they each had their own unique way to bowl, but after each frame they had this giant look of triumph on their face. it was a common theme among everyone at the bowling alley actually. it's incredible really. EVERONE, has the same look after completeing all or most of a frame. it is their own victory in this tiny world. and unlike the real world where no one celebrates even the tiniest victories, not in the adult world anyway, big or small, EVERYONE celebrates a tiny victory, even when they only knock over 3 pins. i think it's awesome. and i think that we should all celebrate more little victories everyday, our own, and those surrounding us. the world would be a better place.
on another note, the zahn family pictures are in now, i'm waiting on my disc, but i do have the two pictures of the man and i :) they are great. and so is my awesomely huge print of us. it's 10x13 and awesome, though i will need to go to get a frame since the one i have only fits 4x6......oh darn, hobby lobby it is :)
have a lovely friday everyone. i will be working from 8:30am to 3:30pm and taking a short break to visit the homeshow, and then working once again from 7pm to 1am.......SO you probably aren't getting any posts tomorrow. and saturday is looking about the same so i'll be back when i can!

proud girlfriend moment
okay, so this is probably gonna sound mushy and lovey...and well it sort of is in a way, but i just wanna take a moment to talk about my man. um yeah, you should probably get used to it or quit reading this blog since he is a rather LARGE part of my wonderful little life, and you will be hearing about him-OFTEN. i would also just like to say that this post may sound mean in some ways, but i don't in any way mean to sound that way, so just a heads up.
so anyway....
we knew that there were going to be some big adjustments when the man decided to come home, which didn't really worry me much, i worried more about him. one of my biggest worries was the lifestyle adjustment for the man, not to sound snotty, but he has been rather well cared for and to so DRASTICALLY change everything can be hard on anyone, especially those who are going through so much inner stress and turmoil. my biggest fear was the adjustment in lifestyle would make him regret his decision, i thought that adjusting from fulltime practice and school to fulltime work, and hard labor no less, would be overwhelming for him, especially since he has just been a fulltime athlete forever and has never had to wake up and go to work everyday. but boy was i wrong. he was so ready for this change, even more ready than i thought he would be. he is even more ready than i was. he wanted this so much more than any of us could have ever expected. and in these new changes, i have a newfound respect for my love. he is so much stronger and more courages than i ever could be. i am SO very proud of him. he gets up and goes to work everyday at 5:30. he works in a job with guys who are his complete opposites, and yet, he still has a good attitude, makes new friends. he's even already moved up on the payscale in just 2 weeks. to think i ever doubted that he could changeover so quickly makes me almost a little sad. i should never have doubted that he knew all along what he wanted and what it would cost him. it hit me today that this was so much bigger than what i originally saw with my little eyes. i take so many things for granted and tend to be so naive. but he obviously needed this so much that he was willing to sacrifice EVERYTHING. i don't know that even i could do that, but my joshua bear gave up his car, his freedom, his nicer lifestyle, all the things he's accustomed to, to come home and do what he needs to. i am so amazed by him, even more now than before. and each day he continues to amaze me. that boy is so very determined to DO on his own, and he has surpassed every expectation my narrow mind had set.
i am so very blessed to have such a strong man in my life, and i don't mean strength as in physical, though i won't lie, he is rather attractive with his big muscles. but seriously, he is so incredible. and i am so very lucky. he teaches me new things everyday and opens my eyes to how much bigger the world is. i can't believe that i'm the lucky one who gets to be with him. and he is so humble about how awesome he truly is, so i make up for his humbleness by boasting and bragging about him here. hopefully he won't mind....but who really knows since he hasn't yet discovered that this thing exists. but i don't really care, because my man deserves to know how much i truly love and appreciate him, since i can rarely find the words to get it out right. i love you joshua!
so anyway....
