A Teddy Lover’s Travels…

Even without work I’ve found ways to keep busy. I still have to keep house and take care of Erik. That is the best job that any girl could ever ask for. He’s been so supportive of me.
Then there is also my two on-line classes. I keep busy doing that. On-line classes are fun because you get to go to class at whatever time of day that you want to. You have to keep track of classes and what is due for yourself.
I’m going to be looking for a job actively after we get back from Chicago. That is where Erik and I will be spending our one year anniversary. The day before we will be attending the renewal of vows of Mike and Rachel.
I will be looking at Target in food ave, boots cosmetics, and other jobs there. We need insurance and Target gives it to part time employees. That is something that Macy’s didn’t do.
There are no hard feelings about what happened. I guess I have just moved on and not worry about it. That is just what I’m going to do.

Today I worked. I can’t think of a single Saturday that I haven’t worked since I started. Today was busy, busy, I guess there was a big Mother’s Day Sale complete with makeovers. I went sampling three times and it was so crowded that I almost couldn’t move.
Well while I was waiting for Erik that is when the big adventure started. I was talking with other people and all of a sudden there was smoke coming from one of the cars in the parking lot. A car was on fire!!! You could see the smoke from half a block away. When Erik came and got me I’m pretty sure that the first thing I said to him was, “There is a car on fire in the parking lot.”
Erik and I spent a good deal of time out just the two of us today. I always like spending time with just him. I think that is my bit of heaven. I wish I could see Erik more often, but right now we both have to finish school and work so that we can pay the bills.
Also due to the fact that it is finals this next week, I only work two shifts. I work on Thursday from 12-4 and Saturday from 12-4. Come by if you’d like.

Yes I want to talk about My Erik. Life with him is better than anything I could have ever hoped for. Not only is he a great friend, he’s also a great person to talk to when you are feeling a certain way. He’s the sunshine in my life.
As of today I’ve been married to him for 10 months. I was thinking that all day today. When I see old couples walking around that have been married for a long time. I look at them and hope that someday that can be Erik and I.
Happy 10 month anniversary hun, I love you.

Let me start off by saying that I no longer feel lost at my job anymore. It’s almost a comfort to be there. I mean I miss Erik, but what wife wouldn’t miss her husband???
I love Erik very much and things are going well for us we’ve been married a little over 8 months, 8 months and 4 days to be exact. I feel that I couldn’t be happier with my life right now. I feel that I’m in a good spot.
School is going well, hopefully I’ll be graduating in August with just my A.A. Degree. I just need to get into one more class for the summer and then hope and pray that I pass. I feel like my life has some direction now, but I don’t know what that direction is just yet.
I just wanted to update a little bit about Marketplace. I miss my old job and I don’t expect the job I have now to take it’s place. I feel that it probably won’t. Then again I can’t tell you for sure either. I’m just happy to be back in the work world again and to help out with the bills. Food is a very hard job because let me tell you hungry people aren’t always that nice to you. But I guess that is one of the things that I still have to get used to.
Next week I don’t work that much mostly due to the fact that Macy’s isn’t open on Sunday due to the fact that it’s Easter. I work 12-4 on Tuesday, my first Tuesday shift ever, and 11:30-3:30 on Saturday.

Christmas is right around the coner. I can’t believe it, wasn’t it just Christmas last year??? Oh well I guess time flies. This is my first Christmas as a married woman, and my third Chistmas withI Erik. One as his girlfriend, one as his finacee and now this one is going to be as his wife.
I really hope that this is going to be the best Christmas ever!!! I can hardly wait to see what this one brings. I have so much to look forward to.
I have so many days of celebrating. I can’t wait for them all. I can’t wait to see what I get.

My three month wedding aniversary. It’s been three months since I’ve walked down the isle. It seems like I’ve been married a lot longer than that. It seems like so long ago that all of this took place.
It’s not that I don’t remember it, it is that it as all over so fast that when you are all done it does not seem that different. I still get to be with my best friend. I still get to go to school. The thing is you spend so much time planning a day that is supposed to be so special, but then when all is said and done it is only the one day that is different.
I love you hun.

Last night Erik and some of his friends from school were going to go to Gameworks to celebrate being half done with school. 6 of their 12 terms have been completed now. I was ready to let him go.
That wound up not happening. Instead Erik brought us home dinner from Taco Bell. I’m so lucky to have someone that is this kind. He is never scared to find little ways of showing me that he loves me.
He makes me smile so often. He has so many cute little things that he does. He has never brought me home dinner before. I love you hun :).

It was two years ago tonight that Erik asked me to be his girlfriend. I feel like he has been in my life forever. I’m really happy to have since become his wife.
He is not only my husband, but my best friend. I am in shock that it has only been 2 years. We have gone from being boyfriend and girlfriend to being engaged, and now we are married.
I’ll never forget the night he asked me out I could hardly sleep I was so excited. I love you hun.

This week has already come and gone without too much fuss. I have had my ups and downs, but for the most part I have had a fun time learning how to be a wife. I’ve lived away from home before, but never life this. College was different.
I remember the first time I packed up my room, and left, my parents’ house was still home. I would always come back and my room would still be mine. That is all different now, though.
I can go back to that room, but it’s not mine anymore, it’s the guest bedroom. I can go back as a guest, but I can never live there again. Well enough with the stuff I miss now I must talk about the stuff that I love about this place.
I have my own apartment now, a place that I can set up the way I like it. I have the kitchen filled with all of my dishes. I have my stuff and everything that is mine is now also Erik’s. Since that is what a marriage is a partnership, filled with love and respect.
I love Erik and that is never going to change. I love waking up in his arms. I love sitting on the couch with him and watching tv. I love getting him something to drink when he’s thirsty and something to eat when he’s hungry. I love looking into his eyes and knowing that everything is going to be alright. I love thinking about our future. I know that I’ll never leave him. I’m blessed to be with such a nice guy.
