My week has been going great (and not so great), but mostly great. The week started off slow and I had a long day at clinic on Tuesday, but I was ready for my day off on Wednesday and I have to say that I thoroughly enjoyed it. Ayden and I did not do much, but I did get some stuff done around the house. I have to say that I was semi productive. My attempts to eat healthier have been minimal at best. Like I said previously, I do well through lunch, but then when I get home it is horrible. I think a lot of that has to do with the fact that we haven't been having good sit down cooked meals as of late because it seems like everyone is just coming and going at our house. That and the fact that we have ice cream in our house. I think that because we haven't had an abundance of junk food in the house for quite some time I am dealing with an internal struggle of craving the ice cream and knowing I shouldn't eat it. Most of the time this week, my craving has won out. Each day is a new day though and since the ice cream is gone, today will be a better day, right?! YES! Haha!

I'm bummed about a completely different situation, although it is one of those situations that I won't be blogging about. It breaks my heart, but to be honest, I think I saw it coming. That's about as much as I'd like to delve into that topic right now. I know, quite evasive... I probably shouldn't even write about it if I am not going to talk about it anymore, but oh well. That covers the not so great part of my week.

Jay and I have been doing great lately. Did I ever mention that I feel the whole, absence makes the heart grow fonder thing might just be true?! Jay and I may have had a harder than normal time during our time apart (which seems like eons ago now), but I know that the stress of the end of the semester was weighing heavily on me and that the stress of his new job and being away from his family was hard on him too... we both has shorter than normal buttons to push and we pushed each others a lot more than usual. But now (and I hope I don't jinx myself), we are back in our groove and doing great. I cannot believe that in just over a year we will be married. MARRIED! In the past Jay and I have had some big issues between us and me being the stubborn person that I am, I was bound and determined not to budge on them. (I think I get that from my mom, haha.) But I have been really trying to work on that and I think it has helped our relationship. Honestly, as much as I enjoyed sleeping alone in our bed while we were living apart, I am much happier sharing the bed with him again. Insert smiley face here!

This weekend we get to 'sleep with the sharks' at the Mall of America with Ayden's cub scout pack. I don't really know how excited Ayden is about it. Actually, I feel like I haven't really seen much of Ayden all week and it bums me out. He slept over night at Jay's parents house again last night so Jay's mom could sleep in this morning and I was totally okay with it, but because she picked him up before I got home from work/clinic last night I didn't get to see him and haven't since yesterday morning. I am kind of looking forward to it just being us as a family over the weekend and seeing some familiar Pointer faces while we are away. We need some family time away from the house as well because when we are home we are busy doing house stuff.

Although, I have to admit, that the more we get put away, the lazier I seem to be getting at night. I have four baskets of laundry that need to be folded and put away. I have almost three weeks worth of 'pictures of the day' that I need to upload to my blog yet. I have the pictures from my cousin's photo shoot to edit and then I said I would edit some pictures for a friend of mine as well. The office is still in shambles. All of this stuff out of it's designated spot bugs me, but I'm just not motivated enough at the end of the night to do anything about it. Oh well.

I am glad that I took the time to read a few books the two weeks before we moved to Chilton. I needed the relaxation time and it was really relaxing to sit outside in the sun all afternoon without a care in the world. I got a few good reads in (they just might have been the dirty smut of the Fifty Shades of Grey series) and now that I am busy again, I haven't felt the urge to read at all. Although, usually when I read a good series, it takes me some time to pick up another book and get into it because I'm still stuck on the previous characters. I'm hoping to find a new good read soon.

CIAO! LOVE ME!
