Weekend Fun

I had a very good weekend. It was filled with family, friends, love, and fun!
I wanted to share some of the things I did this weekend with those that I love.

It was a good weekend despite my allergy problems and having to work.

Next weekend should be fun too!

Til' Death



Being married is still very new to me. I still have to remind myself that we are no longer "dating" and that we are now man and wife. I often catch myself saying "my fian....husband" and even calling him my husband sounds strange. How easy is it to change a almost ten year habit? For seven years he was my boyfriend and for exactly two years he was my fiance. It's okay though, he does it too.

I changed my last name last month. The process wasn't a big hassle like I thought it was going to be. Between getting the marriage license (why don't they send it to you?), the social security office, the DMV, and the bank the whole process of becoming Mrs. Jonathan Tyson only took about an hour haha. I love looking at my new license (minus the picture gag!) and signing my new name. (You think nine years have practice would have perfected my new married signature, but it hasn't)

I love the fact that he is my husband and that I am going to spend the rest of my life with him. I can't wait until the time that buy our first car together, our first home, have our first child, etc. I just love him and I am so happy that we took that step and got married.

Luckily he likes to cook and grocery shop with me. Oh and he loves me too! He tells me every chance he gets.

I just lucked out I guess.

24 years young

I recently celebrated my twenty-fourth birthday. Boy do I feel old. Now I know that twenty-four is not "old" but I can't help but wonder where my life has gone. I have sat back and reflected on my past twenty-four years and I would like to share some of that with you.

Ten years ago I was just starting high school and meeting the boy who would someday become my husband. I was shy, naive, and much healthier than I am now. (I'm working on it). It's hard to believe that in just a few years I will be attending my four year high school reunion. It is amazing how far I have come since my days in high school.

I am very proud of the accomplishments that I have achieved in my past twenty-four years. Here are few:

* I completed fourteen years (pre-school through senior year of high school) with decent grades.

* I moved away from Bakersfield and attempted college in a different city. Even though I only stayed there for a year, I feel proud that I attempted something that I was scared to do.

* I earned at Bachelor's Degree in Liberal Studies and I also earned my credential to teach. I task I thought I would never live to see completed.

* I made a big step and moved out of my parents' house to move in with my boyfriend. It was hard to leave my family and see my parents so hurt that I did it. However, I felt it was something that I needed to do and I am happy that I did it.

* I am proud that I waited to get married until I had completed my education. It made it so much easier to complete my education and it was something I had promised many people I would do.

* I waited to drink until I was extremely close to turning twenty-one. I never did drugs and I never gave into peer pressure. Despite what the people around me were doing, I waited and did things according to my own beliefs. I am so proud of myself for sticking by that I hope that it will set a good example for my future children.

I am proud of the twenty-four year old person that I have become. I know that there a few changes that need to be made, but I happy with the person that I am.

I am happy to have the support system that I do and I am thankful for each and every person in my life. The people in my life are amazing and I am proud to call them friends/family.


Below are some pictures from this past birthday celebration.
Enjoy.
