March 11 - Wow it's March 2012 ... weird
Good morning!!! It is so beautiful outside. It honestly feels like spring. I can't wait to get into day clothes, get my make up on and go play outside. First, I wanted to update my blog. Nutella better update her blog today or else. MOOWAHAHAHAHAAHA!
Well to begin. I had a test on Monday in my biology class. I studied so hard for it last weekend because I was determined to destroy the test. I got a 67% on the first test, and that was my motivation to not do that bad again. I want an A in this class. I may not get an A, I might get a B, but I'm happy with that. You know why? Because it's biology! The average grade is a C. I'm to smart to settle with a C. So the picture below is my test score. I first show on top the pitiful 67% and then you see my second test score from Monday.

Yes you read the test right! I got a 93%! I was SO happy. I even got a high five from my teacher. The students in the class asked how I did that and I simply said, "I studied my ass off." And it paid off. Only 2 people in the class got above 90, me and super smart kid that gets 100% for everything. Don't say, "wow, he's smart." He's the kid that takes one class at a time so he actually has time to focus his energy on the class he is taking. I'm just bitter that he's super smart. You can't tell, right? He is a smart kid...I'll give him the credit. But the moral of the story, if you study for the grade you want, you will get the grade you want. I'll be bragging about this for awhile.
The next picture are my new purple shoes. I shouldn't be buying anything but for some reason, I keep buying shoes. I bought these for my wedding, but I found a blue pair that I'm going to wear instead of these. But these are super duper cute!
So I wore these shoes last night to break them in. They are very high, I think they're 5 inches. They're really "hot" as some might say. I have to practice wearing them though so I don't stumble when we get married. They're like stilts, if I spelled that right. They are comfortable. The only part that hurt my foot is where I'm getting a bunion. I know that's gross but it's true. Many people get them, so don't make the EWWW face at me.
It's Fred! She's at 24 weeks now. Look at the baby grow. I seriously cannot wait to meet the little bambino developing inside there. I bet he's gonna be sweet, and cute, and chubby, and friendly, and...and...and.
She's more than half way done now too!
Okay, the next 4 pictures I'm sure you can't appreciate, but I can. Yesterday I detailed my car. I seriously went to town and washed everything on the inside and outside of Vanna. It took me 4 hours to get to a point where I was okay with being finished. My little Vanna white looks beautiful, like the first day I bought her.
Is it weird that I actually enjoyed detailing my car? Am I like a man? There is something about being focused on a task that has a finish line in close view, listening to music, taking my time, being alone, that just made me feel good. It was really relaxing. But today, I'm paying the price. I'm pretty sore. Hmmm, maybe I can get some muscles from doing this every weekend?
That's it folks. I don't have any pictures for the rest of the week. Have a great coming up week and I'll see ya later!
CIAO!

Wedding Count Down
So last week, I totally failed at taking any pictures. That's okay. I was focused on my upcoming nuptials. With that, I have many thoughts and feelings about it. I figured I would share with all of you seeing how I want to be a better writer and hope to one day be a published writer. Not just in the school paper but have my own novel or something. Anyway, here are some reflections on all these great things coming my way.
First, we decided where we are going. SHHH can't tell you just yet, but it's awesome. We have to budget everything in before we get everything set in stone. Honestly, what we have planned is everything I have ever wanted. It's going to be the perfect way to officially start this journey together. We started a long time ago, but now there will be this binding contract, called a marriage license, that will remind us that we promised to be together through everything. Ya know though, it will be easy with Rob. No one compares to him. It's me that I worry about, I'm a pain in the ass. Thank god he is patient with me. I'm excited as a kid getting an icecream cone from the icecream truck about getting married and having little RobLissa's running around. Yeah, I just went all paparazzi on ya with the name. We could even be called MelBert. HAHA! Okay, that's just funny.
Oh, I fell down the stairs on Friday. Yes, complete dorky thing to do, I know. It was how Rob reacted that reminds me why he is special. He came out of the room to check on me. And before I laughed, he got me water and tylenol for the pain. Then we laughed together. I know it sounded funny when I fell. It was like thump, thump, thump, MEOWWWWWW,thump, thump. I fell about 4 or 5 stairs and when I said OW it sounded like a crying kitten. It wasn't super loud but more sad sounding. Anyway, it hurt like hell, and Rob tried his best to make me feel better.
So four years ago I accidently drove through his closed garage. I thought I hit the break but really I hit the gas. Yep, destroyed the garage door. And if it had been anyone else, they probably would've yelled at me. Not Rob. He came out of the house with a look of fear first and then started laughing. He wasn't mad at all. He was worried about me and then took the attitude of, "It's okay, let's fix it." I need to learn this. I struggle with that mindset and hope that I can figure out how to be calm and collective like him.
It's things like that that reinforce his true character. It's those qualities that prove he will not only be the perfect husband for me, but the best dad for our children. I know wherever I lack, he can pick up the slack. And I know that when he needs my advice and opinion, he will ask and honestly consider it. Some people are not that way.
I was doing some homework today and had this great epiphany. I knew this stuff before, but didn't accept that I knew it until today. But in a marriage, teamwork is vital to making the relationship work. I know, that's so lame I'm saying it because it's so obvious. But seriously, how often do we think about the importance of teamwork? We all know the value but do we actually make it a conscious thought? I know that sometimes I put it at the back of my brain and only later wish I had actually followed through on it.
So with this wonderful news of getting married, the fact that I know I love Rob, and the sudden epiphany...does anyone know how they make their relationships work? Do you think about how it works? Or does it just work? What works for you?
I'm more than thrilled to get married and start a family. I want to be the best wife ever to Rob, the one that he deserves. I don't want my downfalls to get in the way of what we can do together. How does a person accomplish all of this for the next 80 years? Okay, we may not live 80 years together, but we will be trying for that long. In this day and age, it's not often we hear about long-lasting, loving relationships. We're surrounded by people who are divorced or either unhappily married. I don't want that. I want to remember for the rest of my life why I married Rob, why I wanted to be with him forever, and what makes me so happy about being with him. What's the key to that?
Well, I'll stop writing for now. I just wanted to share my thoughts and reflections about where I'm at.
