Well, well, well.
Seeing as how it's been awhile since either one of us (mainly Kyle) have blogged on this site, I figured maybe it's time for me to do it.
Not too much has been happening in our lives since the last time I posted on here, I still am working a lot, but trying to make everything I can to bring home the bacon for both of us and the baby. There are always those tough days and the slow ones to say the least, for which I mostly blame this economy and the government in full. But nonetheless, like everyone here in America, we get out of bed, we roll up our sleeves and we get our asses to work and we do everything it takes to make sure this country and everything is running smoothly. On a personal note regarding work and MY job, I finally have made my mark where I work as I have ridden myself of the name tag and the title of Rising Star! I've finally got my first star! I am really excited!
Aside from work, which is pretty much my life and I don't mind it as much as I did where I used to work, the weeks that have passed have been somewhat insane and crazy, but Amanda and I both have survived. I've definitely done a lot of soul searching on myself and I definitely have a lot to learn as I prepare for more fun and excitement that will be happening in our lives. I'm learning compromise and patience, while I do struggle with it, Amanda always seems to keep me in check and reminding me to have patience in regards to so many things, I'm always thinking in my head "Amanda, I'm trying," it's about all I can do.
Furthermore, one exciting thing other than the arrival of our child is that one thing we have managed to keep aside from the craziness that transpired after this whole pregnancy is our wedding day!
Yes, you're reading this correctly, Amanda and I are finally going to get married and on the day that we intended on having from the get-go, June 18th, 2011. It'll be happening at the Oasis restaurant while overlooking Lake Travis and we are both very excited about it.
While Amanda was actually away last weekend, I did my own little planning homework and saw a little David Tutera clip and viewed a couple of his tips/advice and one thing that I remember was his whole "you're gonna need to come up with a couple surprises for each other. Something from the heart, something that will melt the others and bring them to tears." After reading this, I'm thinking in my head "I don't wanna insult the guy, but this guy's full of crap, not to mention he's out of his mind." However, the more I thought about it, took me back to the night I proposed to Amanda and how blown away she was by it and figured out that in regards to these surprises, I'm gonna come up with some things that will give her the whole va-va-voom effect, like the hand over the mouth surprise reaction and possibly the LAST thing she'd ever expect me to do. I've had a few thoughts here and there and think I can follow through with one, and putting this surprise together goes back to one virtue in life I'm learning: patience to make it happen. It'll take awhile to make possible, but in the end, I just know it'll be worth it and I can look at her and look at myself and say "I was patient, I did this all for her and I couldn't be happier." The only detail I can say about this that won't give anything away is that this is the biggest plot/scheme I've ever planned in my life, but in the end, I cannot wait to just pull it off and shock the shiznet outta her.
For now, I will bottle my babble and the next blog post will likely be Amanda's. We will have belly pictures next post as well as some 3D pictures of our little boy-to-be because we have an appointment and ultrasound this upcoming Monday.
