Good Mornin All...

I hope that this finds all of you enjoying married life so far! I know that I can say that I am so totally in love with my husband, Rick, and I am so totally thankful to many of you who have left comments on our blogs or anything else that I may have sent out!
Things are still strained between my mother & I, and I am afraid that they always will be! But that is nothing that I can change, because if I kept trying to change myself for my family, I would be dead! (No joke!)
My wonderful mother-in-law did try to send some pics of the wedding, but somehow they all came out in text & charecters! I dont know what she was using for an email account or anything like that, but I was SO disappointed, because I did want to have some pics of our wedding to post for you all! But I know that my friend Cindi is still working on our photos, (She's a perfectionist!) and right now, she is on vacation with her hubby! So I dont blame her for taking time, after all it only has been a week and a half since we have been married! I could see it being different if it was a month and a half since we have been married!
I guess that you just cannot rush perfection And that is what she is trying to give us, is perfect photos! I think about the only people who will really see these photos will be some of the photos that I do post on here, and on another site, but most of them are going to be printed right here at home, and sent off to the in-laws out in California, and maybe some of my family members....although I am not going to hold my breath on that one, since they didnt want to be part of our day, Im just wondering if I should share it at all! I know that is very petty of me, and I am sinking down to my mother's level, but I would just like to share the photos with my dad, and not my mom! And there are some other family members that I would like to share photos with, but dont know if I should or not!
I think what I am going to do, is make an announcement, with a photo of Rick & I, and send it off to some of my relatives, and see what goes on from there. If I get a good reception out of the family members that I did share them with, then I will send them out to some more friends that live in my hometown!
Other then that, today Rick & I are going to Knoxville...Rick has a meeting with the prosthetics guy, and while he is meeting with Chris, I am going to go and do a lil shopping at our local Wal-Mart! I already have a list of things, and it just doesnt seem like that long ago I was there picking up things for our apartment! But it seems like everytime we turn around, we are adding something to the "Wal-Mart" list! Like I just added that we needed more cotton swabs, and a new air filter for our furnace! YIKES! I just cleaned the vent to the air conditioner/furnace unit, and it is very nasty, but it doesnt help that the 2 of us smoke, and that we have 3 cats, 2 of which are long hair cats! Ive tried to keep the living room area vaccumed the most, because that is where the air vent is, and it just doesnt seem to work! I can vaccum every other day with the vaccum that I have now, I know that I need to invest in a better one, but right now, investing in a really good vaccum is like the last thing I need to be doing! That is way down at the bottom of our list of priorities!
The first & foremost thing that is going to get taken care of is Rick's poor car! If its not one thing, its been another with that car, especially since I have been driving it, or maybe I am the one that is paying a lil bit more attention to what is going on with the car, since I am the one that drives it the most! But I do know that for having over 170,000 miles on it, that car is still a very good ride, we just need to do a lil bit better mechanical maintence to it!
But I am praying that it will get us to Knoxville today without doing some idiotic thing like breaking down! I really would be mad then, since we had our friends, Tressie n Steve over last night for a lil while, and Steve is the one that is going to be doing the clutch work on the car for us, just as soon as we make the appointment! Im almost wanting to ask Rick if, even though my truck doesnt have a stereo system (in fact NO stereo at all!) in it, if he would mind going in that instead of the car today. I just have this really funny feeling about something, and when I get them, it usually means that something is going to happen today! Or on the day that I get these feelings! No I am not psychic, but I do know that when my gut feeling says to drive the truck, then maybe we should drive the truck, after all, I do have an mp3 player that is doing nothing but just sitting on my dresser right now!
Ok...I think that I need to go and start getting ready, since I am the one that seems to take the longest time doing anything.... :rollseyes: And I think that I am going to sweet talk the hubby into going in the truck today! I know that he will go with my gut feeling!
Til we know what is going on with the prosthetics & everything else in our crazy life.....~Peace, , and Respect! Jeanine
