You Are My Sunshine

Things around here have been pretty busy lately.

The puppy is still figuring out potty training. What a nightmare. Leia was SO easy to potty train. But he is still cute, and getting big fast! We think he'll end up bigger than her.

He wasn't so sure about the vet...

He's just so cute and smushy

If there's any lesson I should know, it's that things change. One minute you have this planned, and before you know it you're down a completely different path. And I'm the kind of person that gets this idea in their head, and when it changes, everything goes wrong. But I'm getting better, I promise.

Well, we wanted to purchase a "home" by the end of 2014 or close to. I say "home" because Jacob really wants to buy a duplex, and though I agree with his reasoning, a real house sounds so much more appealing. Anyways, that's been pushed back probably at least 3 or 4 years. 

Now we're buying a truck.

After some hair ripping and other frustrations, the loan has been approved. Hopefully we can get all the paperwork done today and have the truck by this weekend. Seriously though, getting denied because you don't have sufficient history is the stupidest thing ever. How am I supposed to get any history if no one will give me any because I don't have any. Did that make sense? Whatever, it's taken care of, moving on.

And then last night as we were driving to dinner… my car just stop working. Perfect timing, right? Driving down the middle of the road, dashboard lit up and freaked out, we couldn't accelerate, nothing. Fortunately we cruised to the median and got out of traffic. And then it wouldn't even start. When he finally got it to start, it crapped out again. So we waited another minute or so for traffic to clear. It turned on and we were able to turn into the parking lot. We sat and waited for Jacob's coworker to get there with a scanner. Oh, the perks of having a mechanic as a husband ;) It has to do with the computer, but Jacob's hoping he can replace a fuse and that'll do the trick. I don't know really, that's his department.

I don't know about other newlyweds, but there's always something going on around here. And in the midst of all the craziness and whatnot, last night there was about a 5 minute calm that my husband and I got to share. It was kind of beautiful.

We were back from dinner and Jacob was on the computer looking into what's wrong with my car, I was multi-cleaning. I have a problem of starting one thing, and then getting distracted with another. And at one point I was sitting on top of the washer, I had one of Jacob's hats on my head I had picked-up, our eyes met, and he smiled the most beautiful smile and said I love you. We're weird, I know. But once the washer calmed down. I went and sat by him and we just cuddled for a few minutes.

Pandora was on playing on the TV, the washer cycle stopped, the dogs were in the back yard. And at that moment it was just me and him, with some soft music playing.

I know we sound crazy. But with everything around us going crazy and out of our control. It was so nice to be able to just sit and be together, and share a quiet moment. Really I just wanted to note this for myself. We don't get those moments all that often. And it was lovely. So that's all I really wanted to get across with this super long post.

Life is crazy, but love is beautiful.

I'm so grateful that he's mine.

And here's a little flashback pic to when it all began <3
