An Ode to my Husband

"I will share the world with you

Ever since I first saw you I knew

All the adventures we would ensue

Together, just me and you."

-S. Fox

I wish I could show everyone how awesome Franklin is. He is truly amazing, especially since he puts up with me :) I was thinking about how great he is yesterday when I went to work for him and I just wanted to Thank him for everything.

Franklin is one of the hardest workers I know! he works so hard so that we can have some extra money                                      (My Hero)

to save and so that we can go buy Zombieland and ice cream

at Walmart. He is such a handy man, he is always picking up extra work.

One time he even worked forty hours within three days. I am so lucky that he has a good job and he wants a better life for us.

Another thing that really makes Franklin great for me is that he is so darn smart! He knows so much! I love talking with him about anything and everything, he really knows his stuff. He also knows a lot about history which I LOVE LOVE LOVE. He is so brilliantly creative, he will come home from working and he will have a whole idea for a story all written down in his journal, all written during his lunch break. YEESH! If I could do that I would be pulling a Stephenie Meyer right now!! And I can always ask him questions about anything I am confused about or want to know more about.... like whats going to happen in a movie that we both haven't ever seen before :))

He's goofy. He can be silly with me and not always be serious. He watches Disney movies with me and he can always make me laugh. We like being happy together and silly together and we don't care what anyone thinks.

He is a very good person. He is very honest and doesn't do destructive things (like smoking or drinking). He is very kind and helps others. He is also very objective in his thinking. *cough cough sexy cough*

Again, he puts up with me... that's a big one. haha. He always plays along with my crazy ideas and gets me water when I cry that I am parched or that its contaminated. He carries my purse when I need to use both hands or when its heavy. He kisses me when he leaves for work. And he always lets me know that he thinks I am pretty.

And he plays music. Which is always very sexy.  :) and buys lots of books for me

How did I get so darn lucky??

(Us DJing A Wedding...)

The Floor is LAVA!!!!!!

So last night Franklin and I were wrestling and I asked him if he locked the door and he said no so he started to get up to go lock the door and I didn't want him to leave so I said, "BUT, the floor is lava!!!" he got up and locked the door anyway. Then he came back and I was about to leave and go get something to drink and before I got off the bed Franklin says, "The floor is lava!" so screamed and got to the middle of the bed! Then Franklin started kissing me, and I said, "NOOOO THE LAVA MONSTER WANTS ME AS HIS LAVA BRIDE!!!"  Franklin let me go and said defensively, "fine, I'll give you guys the juicer..."(we got two as wedding presents)  I replied with, "You're the lava monster, dumbass!(jokingly)"
He understood... So the lava monster kept "attacking" me. And I kept attempting to get to the "steping basket" which was our laundry basket but the lava monster was to scorching hot and strong. hehehe. I am pretty sure I never want to grow up.

The lava monster and his lava bride...

It's a New Day

It is a new day. I woke up knowing that I was going to go full fledged into my diet. I really want to be healthy so yesterday I bought lots of fruits, yogurts, and wheats. I know I am going to work hard, and with that in mind, I feel that it is a good day to change anything I don't like. I am going to begin to be more positive and look around at the little things and appreciate them. I am going to be strong in my beliefs and even stronger in my other convictions. I am going to be more productive and mentally active. I am not going to be afraid of anyone, or not say what I believe or what I know just because I am afraid it will hurt another's feelings. These are pretty big goals to begin just today, but I just feel like today is the day.

Is it bad that I can't stop bloggging?

I don't know why, but I was thinking about this poem today.

One of my wishes is that those dark trees,

So old and firm they scarcely show the breeze,

Were not, as ’twere, the merest mask of gloom,

But stretched away unto the edge of doom.

I should not be withheld but that some day

Into their vastness I should steal away,

Fearless of ever finding open land,

Or highway where the slow wheel pours the sand.

I do not see why I should e’er turn back,
Or those should not set forth upon my track 10

To overtake me, who should miss me here

And long to know if still I held them dear.

They would not find me changed from him they knew—

Only more sure of all I thought was true.

So, I have kind of began my United States history book reading thing. I thought it would be fitting to start off with the U.S. Constitution and Declaration of Independence book that I ranted about for a while. Its a very quick read. It's very powerful and moving and I believe that every American should read these documents and know their rights and their history. My next book is Alexis de Tocqueville 'Democracy in America'. So far it is very interesting to read an outsiders point of view. He talks about how democracy lead up to America and the reasons why America formed a democracy rather than any other form of government. Its pretty long and I am at a semi-boring part so it might take me a little bit to read.

Alright, I should probably be doing something more productive than blogging. I think I shall wash my car. I bought some new wax stuff that will make it really nice and shine. I think I need some new tires as well and I want to make them a little bigger than the stock tires cause right now the tires look too small for the car and it looks ugly to me.

I am a real naughty girl...

How could you say no to a face like that???? HA! I still make this face... Mostly to Franklin to make him get something for me... and I say, "I'm parched..." My absolute favorite is when he was trying to sleep and he was half awake and I kept saying, "I'm bored, come play with me..." and he would just grunt. Then I would touch  his lips and say, "yum yum yum yum." HA HA! In addition to cracking his knuckles (which he hates). I am such a naughty girl.

When people ask Franklin when we are thinking about having kids he says he already has one.... hahah. Or the fact that he literally has to force me to take a shower. heehee. I mean I will take showers on my own but I think its pretty darn funny when he wrestles me to make me take a shower and I am just running around the house trying to keep my clothes on. Is this what married life is suppose to be like???

Has anyone in this family ever even seen a chicken?

This picture makes me laugh so much. I think that is what I need right now. Something to laugh and smile about. I am super tired and had a kinda rough dissapointing day today. I just feel very frustrated with work lately. Lets just say if this chicken-----> laid an egg and it broke and there were eggshells all over the place, I would be walking on them... barefoot. I don't know whats going on with this "chicken" theme...

I feel like I haven't hung out with Franklin in forever, by ourselves or anything.

UGh I just feel frustrated. I know I shouldn't feel frustrated. This is my world and I want to enjoy it because there are too many people who don't or can't. This is my world I get to create and it belongs to me. I don't understand how people can be so mean and so kniving. I don't know why people would want to play games behind your back just to make you suffer. I feel like they attack me because I am happy. But, it just makes me want to be even happier to shove it in their miserable faces.

So I am happy.

I am going to go to Target and buy something nice.

And when Franklin comes home I will make him take me on a yogurt date

and I will enjoy my yogurt date

And I am going to make him laugh.

(left out some stuff for you)

: D

I can't think of a clever, witty title..

Have you ever held something so gently and so carefully that if you were to move hastily or hold too tightly that it would disintegrate into pieces. I decided to make a run to an old time bookstore on main street and I was looking for a copy of the Federalist (but they were a little too expensive) and I found an almost 100 year old copy of the Constitution/Declaration of Independence/ The Ordinance of 1787/ and the articles of confederation combo book. I felt so sad because most Americans don't even know what is in the constitution. I just kept thinking of a project we did for government class. We took a amendment out of the constitution and had people sign it as if we wanted to pass it today. No body could identify that it was already a law and something that already defined our country for a few hundred years. only a small minority would get suspicious and say, "don't we already have something like this?" and only a very very small minority could actually place what its from. So fighting off ignorance I bought it and read it very carefully. HA! the only upsetting part is that it is so old that the amendments end at Woman's Suffrage (1920 ish). I just feel as if this isn't important to people anymore. I almost felt like Eli in "The Book of Eli" except I had the last copy the constitution. I hope that people have that spark in them to read and to learn more about their rights and what these men put up on the line to ensure that we had life, liberty and property. (note I say property and not the pursuit of happiness, because it was originally suppose to be property but they did not want to cause a rift between the states due to the slavery issue) Touche.

Franklin and I are almost done with this babysitting(minus the babies) gig. I am tired its hard to not be in your own house and waking up at 6 with not your own kids. I am excited though Franklin got a motorcycle. He was kinda browsing craigslist and looked it up and it was only 300 bucks and very nice. Franklin told me that he would get this one and I told him to get it... he was like "really?....really?" haha he was so excited though. He works so hard, he deserves something he really wants. Staying "home" all day pretty much sucks... PS.

I need to run around or something. The not eating so badly isn't too too too difficult it just needs lots of restraint. The hardest part is the running around and exercising.

"It's not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or when the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions and spends himself in a worth cause; who at the best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement; and who at the worst if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory or defeat."  Theodore Roosevelt
