remember me?

Lately it's not too often that i (i being Ian) write on this blog. or on any blog for that matter. but tonight i have a special subject in mind.

there have been so many posts (or at least it seems that way to me) on this blog about me. ian's great, i miss ian, etc. but we've neglected to focus on the other, more important half of this little family.

she's the only one i want to wake up with. the only one i want to fall asleep with. she puts up with my disorder, though we all know it drives her crazy. she makes me dinner even after she's had a long day at work. she cleans up after me. she gets up with me a 6am even on the days that she works at 11, just to make my lunch because she knows i won't have time to. on her days off she does the laundry, so i have clean clothes to wear for the rest of the week. without her i would be lost.

of all of the uncertain things in the world...money, jobs, homes, there is one thing that i am certain of. at night, when i go to bed, it will be with her. and in the morning, she'll be there. for the rest of our lives.

there is no one else that i love more than kristin tamara groves. my life with her gets better and better with every day that passes.

i love you kristin. more than you'll ever know.

Sleeping Alone

Everyone told me that after being married for a while, you have a hard time sleeping without your spouse beside you. Well, Ian went to Lilloet on wednesday for two nights. That first night was the first time that that has been true for me. There has been three other times that either Ian or me have had to go out of town and sleep alone, and each time I wished I was with Ian but I still fell asleep really well. But this time was different. I missed him.

I missed his really warm body next to mine, keeping me from freezing ( i have been very cold the last few nights). I missed his long, comforting arms wrapped around me. I missed his sweet, deep voice talking to me about everything and anything. I missed his gorgeous brown eyes staring into mine. I especially missed his kisses. He loves kissing my neck and shoulders before we go to sleep. He always gives me little kisses on my cheek and lips. I really miss the way that he makes me feel absolutely adored. I miss my husband!

It makes me very happy that in the short nine months that we have been married, it is evident that our love is growing for each other. It pleases me that when my husband is gone I cannot sleep. I feel so blessed. I am filled with such joy!

Hair Color

Angelica and I spent 3 and a half hours today dying my hair. She did foils with blonde and copper highlights and then did a dark blonde/light blond color all over. It looks really red today because the of the copper tones but the will get more golden as the days pass. She did a really good job and she is very good at her job. Everyone was impressed. It looks EVEN better in person. You should come visit me and see for yourself. Thank you Angelica, you are awesome!!! (I recommend her to everyone for all your hairdressing needs).

All Is Good

I PASSED MY TEST!!!! I got 90%! You need 80% to pass. My instructor was the most wonderful, sweet woman and made me feel so comfortable and I knew all of my stuff.

I am soooooo happy!!!

90 %!!!!!!!

Nervous!!!

I have several things to be nervous about in the next few days:

1) I have to go to the doctor today at 11:15 because I have been feeling sick for too many weeks now. I hate going to the doctor!!!

2) My boss is leaving at noon today and so I have to be the only one up at the front for four and a half hours!!! It should be alright I suppose, she is putting the answering machine on, so all I really have to do is take people's money and book them appointments. Not so bad I guess, but still, there is always the chance that something that is out of my control arises!!!

3) My practical evaluation at NAIT is this saturday at 1-5pm. I've been studying quite a bit and I still do not feel prepared for this and I am still very nervous that I am not going to pass for a secong time!!!

I will be just fine though. I know that God is looking out for me and that I can trust in Him to help me with my nerves. *deep breath* and I'm feeling better... kind of...

My Nephew is the Avatar

Justin recently got Ian and me hooked on this show, The Avatar- The Last Airbender. It is a fantastic show. I highly recommend it.

Anyhow, the other day I was sitting here studying for my test that is coming up in edmonton this saturday, when I got distracted by the computer. (like i am right now, i was studying and now i am blogging) I was looking at pictures of Hunter and came across this one of him in the bathtub. I looked at the picture and thought to myself, "If Hunter had a blue arrow tattoo on his head, he would look just like Aang(the avatar)." So I took the liberty of drawing a blue arrow on Hunter and now he is the avatar!!! I have a picture of Aang to use as an example.
