Hi everyone. After yesterday's post, I had several people send me seemingly worried comments. I'm okay, really. I just wanted to kind of let people know why they didn't see very much of me, and why I so often turned down invitations to come visit or go places with people. After rereading what I wrote, I realize it does sound incredibly depressing, and I am sorry. So today, I wanted to tell you guys about some good stuff that's been going on.
Joe and I are trying to get pregnant. At one point, I was telling people that we were trying to start a family, but recently I've realized that that terminology is stupid. We already have a family. A huge, crazy, loving, unpredictable, wonderful family. Between the two of us, we have five parents (that's not a typo), six grandparents, and if I counted right, about twenty-two aunts and uncles. I have three great sisters and a brother; Joe has two pretty alright brothers (just kidding, they're great, too!) and some awesome sisters-in-law. We have some fantastic, if nutty, nephews, and more cousins than I could even begin to count. And, even without all of these wonderful people in our lives, we have each other, which is more than I could ever ask for. So, "starting a family" just doesn't work. We're simply trying to add one more to the brood.
Work sucks, but is also wonderful. I leave everyday stressed out of my mind, but I love my job, and want to move up in my company and take on more responsibility. I'm pretty sure I'm just a glutton for punishment, but I enjoy it even when it drives me to tears. I think I'm just nuts.
I'm getting pretty good at Call of Duty: Black Ops. I know this doesn't seem like much, but it's one of the few video games Joe has ever been better than me at. I am an incredibly competitive person, and I can't stand it when Joe beats me at stuff. He's still considerably better than me, but the gap is closing. I occasionally even get more kills than he does.
We are quitting smoking. We got our gum in the mail today from the Oklahoma Tobacco quit line. (1-800-QUIT-NOW, if anyone is interested.) They were actually fairly helpful, and I really hope that with the gum and the support program, we'll be able to quit successfully within a few weeks or months. Wish us luck!
There may be more, but as of right now, I can't think of much else to share. So anyway, thanks for reading. Love you guys,
--Mo
