about me
I was born in Evansville, IN on Oct. 1, 1984. I moved to Fort Wayne in Aug. 1999. I hated it at first. It was a huge culture shock. But it is growing on me. And I am in love with watching Amish, and imagining I am one of them. I try to save, conserve, and I tend to try not to get attached to material objects. I also make my own clothes when I can. In the summer, I enjoy gardening and growing some of my own food. I try to focus on what is truly important in life-- here and now-- so that the future can be a little bit brighter for others. I don't drink alcohol, or do any other kinds of drugs or vitamin supplements.

MY LIFE

I've been letting my hair grow and grow for the past few years to the point where it is an unmanageable and impractical length. I've always felt so beautiful and so "me" with long hair, but I have decided that it wouldn't be best this summer to keep it as long as it is. And I can still be "me" no matter what length it is. So wish me luck with my little "snip-snip". ...

I will be Mrs. Smith in a week. With all this planning and money being spent, it's kind of easy to become bitter toward marriage. Dustin and I are being put to the test right now, having to do everything and spend everything in such a short amount of time. It is not how either of us imagined it would be. We are sure that we want to be together FOREVER though. It is crazy to think how far we have come. We never imagined we would be doing all of this when we met two and a half years ago. To be honest, I wasn't even that attracted to him that first day. But, as I got to know hom more, he started looking better and better. And that continues to this day. Before we allowed ourselves to skip the "protection," I knew that I wanted to be with him forever. And that the world would not end if we had kids together. This might be the most stressful week of our lives, planning last minute things for the wedding and our post-marriage living arrangements. We both know though that promising ourselves to eachother next Saturday will be the best choice we'll ever make.

I love my life. I still don't know why I ever decided to go to college though. I am getting everything I ever wanted within a matter of months. I will have my degree, be a stay-at-home mom whose duty is to serve her family, have a perfect husband, and have extra time to think about starting up my own business.

I can't blog this on my facebook or myspace accounts cause I don't want everybody I know to know about this. I figure it is safe on here. Anyway, my body is preparing itself to have a baby. I broke the news to Dustin yesterday and, thankfully, took it pretty well. He had just been telling me what a wonderful, relaxing guys' weekend he had. I knew I had to tell him, but I didn't want to ruin his life-- let alone his weekend.
The first thing that made me think I am PG was that I recognized the changes in my body. I am very sensitive to those things. I am noticing every ache and pain-- my boobs hurt, my back aches, I feel dizzy sometimes, headache... Not to mention that I am skinny and I can see and feel my belly swelling a little. I'm also suffering from intense hunger. But, other than that, I took my first pg test a few days after the "missed period" (I was irregular, but stopped running a couple months ago and have been fine since). The test was negative. But it was a $1 test and some things I read said you need to wait a whole week after the missed period for better accuracy. I just knew something was wrong with me, so I waited till yesterday, a week and a day after the missed period. That test was positive. I'm kinda excited and, at the same time, even though I feel the weird changes, I am a little in disbelief. I am thinking about either going to a free clinic today or taking a more accurate (expensive) pg test. Now, if I am PG, I am just worried about the health of the fetus. And what should I name her/him? haha

I do not want to go to work today. I hate Tuesdays and Thursdays at Miami Middle School. Most of them are Mexican. There is only one African in our program, and he usually works with the girl that heads the refugee part of the program. Anyway, the problem is, I don't think Mexicans like me. When I am at Miami, nobody asks me for help (the mexicans at Northwood on Mon. and Wed. generally don't ask me for help either). Even though I know Spanish, I feel like Africans, Middle Easterners, and Asians feel more comfortable with me. Not to mention, I like working with them more cause they try harder. I have been making up a lame excuse lately about my car not working well enough to drive to the other end of the city to go to Miami. My car doesn't work well, but my boss doesn't know that the main reason is that I don't enjoy being there. I really could use the money, but I rather not make the money, than to feel un-useful.
