MMMMMMmmmmmmm...... the smell of Pumpkin spice is filling my home right now.
I love the smells that come in the fall.
I love pretty much everything about fall actually.
It's so beautiful- especially in Ogden with all the mountain trees everywhere changing colors. I love wearing my sweaters and jackets and the- cold but not too cold- kind of weather. As much as I say that I hate it- I love going to school in the fall- walking around the busy campus surrounded by the pretty mountains-and the crsip breeze while lugging the backpack around LOL. That's probably something I will miss when I'm done with school. But then again- when that happens- I can go out and enjoy the season in so many other ways.
Anyways..... Life is good. So many things right now have put me in a better mood than in past weeks.
We got our pictures done for one- as you can see from my last post- YAY!
I love getting pictures done and I would probably have them taken multiple times a year if I could justify it. But there is no real reason to do that so maybe I'll just have to settle with having them done once a year or so.
I will try and post some more pictures at the end of my posts from our shoot so that all of you can enjoy the cool pictures with me :) hehe.
The changing season also puts me in a good mood as well.
I still don't get to see my husband more than literally 10 minutes a day which seriously sucks more than I can coherently explain.
I've been really lonely and kinda depressed without him.
Dealing with the stress from school, work, family, friends, and pretty much everything is so much easier when I can spend alot of time with him. Just being around him makes me feel alot better overall. So.... still counting down the days til the end of the year gets here. :)
McCall is doing well in the police academy for those of you who keep asking.
(thanks for caring as well by the way)
He is mostly learning take downs and doing alot of PT and basically alot of lecture. So he isn't LOVING it yet but he will once he starts the Law Enforcement section in a month or so and they get to start on the tactical "cool" stuff.
He will also be glad when it's done. (probably not as glad as me though)
I have to take a minute on here and just say that I married one of the most amazing men on this earth and I hope that one day (soon) one of these police organizations will see that and hire him. It's not that he has been turned down for alot of them... only one or two... but they all just take so long is all. So hopefully soon we will have too many job offers to choose from :) wow... that would be so surreal.
anyways.... back to my amazing husband.... At least once a week- in the ten minutes I get to see him- I kinda have a mini pity session and whine about how much I miss him.
So this past sunday I came home really late from my parents house at our monthly FHE (mccall left early) and I came home to an entire new bedding set-all assembled and out together on our bed as a surprise. I have been wanting a new one and had been eyeing one in particular- and apparently so had he- he had been watching it online, waiting for it to go on sale... and I guess it did. So he left work early on sunday and went and got it for me.
The only downside to this whole story
(which makes me feel more horrible than you will know)
is that it didn't fit on our bed and we had to take it back.
The stupid designer has the width at the same size for both a queen and a king.... so it looked like we were trying to fit a bedspread that was too small on our huge bed. And the design didn't really look like the picture either.
So.... that night at 11 we had to take apart the whole thing and put the old stuff back on again. McCall agreed with me that we couldn't really keep it when it looked the way it did but you could totally see the disappointment on his face. He told me that he had just been so excited all day long to give me a nice surprise to cheer me up. So I pretty much felt like the worst wife ever when I had to take it back.
That's just the kind of man I married.
He will bend over backwards to do anything for me, just to make me smile.
That's the kind of thing that we keep us together for the next 50+ years.
Thats the kind of thing you try and do for someone you REALLY love.
I seriously cried cuz I felt so bad for ruining the surprise.
I just can't get over how sweet he is. There were times when he worked at the grocery store and he would ask me if I wanted him to bring me a drink home or something... so I would tell him what I wanted... and then they would be out of stock or something... so instead of just not getting it or getting something else- he would go to the closest 10 stores he could think of... just to find it for me.
Just to make me smile.
How did I get so lucky????
I have no idea- and I ask him frequently...but for some odd reason that I don't understand- he loves me more than air. :) And I love him back even more.
So needless to say... I am trying to be alot more positive about the crappy next few months. I have a more than amazing husband who is so good to me- even when I'm a brat :) We have a roof over our heads- two great jobs, great family, great friends, our health, and I have 2 more babies coming into my family to feed my baby fix.LOL.
And even if we didn't have all those great things.... at least we have each other. :)
