Amendment #1
Okay, I get it. This blog is for me, not for you.
Amendment #2
We got the house! I am way excited! I am already dreaming of birthing my babies there. The living room is perfect for a tub. I am happy to finally check something off the "to do list". No, not happy, relieved. Finally the pressures are starting to even themselves out. The house is gorgeous and the second I have pictures I will post them. You will be jealous.
Amendment #3
Not only did the dog eat my favorite earrings, he also ate my favorite pair of heels and a pair of skate shoes.
We are fairly sure that he is acting out because we have been so busy lately that his regular walks have not been so regular. This is something we have agreed to remedy. I hope that we can maintain our diplomacy when we have real children;)
So needless to mention that I am in a spectacular mood right now which kind of makes me vibe on the "peaks and valleys" we experience in our lives. I have been feeling exceptionally frustrated lately due to the high levels of stress I have been experiencing/ inflicting upon myself. It has been odd. I have felt in the last couple of weeks more out of control than I have ever felt. I have heard my self complaining and I have really questioned myself and my decisions.
But no more. Life is stressful. Yes, this is the most stress I have ever felt, but it's over. Well, mostly over. Then more will come. Alas.
Next on the list:
Wedding (that's a big one)
New job (a big one too)
Getting ready to move (GULP!)
Oh, one more thing, and this is my big thing lately:
GREEN IS NOT THE NEW BLACK! SOCIAL AWARENESS IS NOT A FASHION TREND!
Thank you.

Greetings and Salutations
Hi! I feel compelled to start this blog the way I'm sure many others before me have and many after will also, by saying that I never thought that I would blog. I had a hard time wrapping my head around the fact that anyone, save my mother, would have any interest in what I was doing. How arrogant! But that was before I had anything interesting to say. Or at least until I found people equally as crazy as me that would listen. So here I am, feeling a desperate desire to write about things I am passionate about and report to people that don't know me from Adam, or Eve, all about my life and the craziness that occurs within it.
A quick introduction for those unlucky Internet travellers that are unfortunate enough to stumble upon my ramblings: I am originally from Northwest Ohio. I find the area quite pleasurable, but I do HATE cold weather and if I learned anything from my brief time spent in South Florida, it was that waking up n the morning to 90+ degrees and 70% humidity is desirable for me. OH, and that old people really do drive slow, not just that young people drive really fast, making the old people look slow.
I am currently betrothed to a wonderful man, who has many adorable OCDish tendencies that I did NOT know about when we were just dating, but I love him anyway. He is a physical therapist assistant and and licensed massage therapist, and I believe that massage is his gift. He heals people, or he at least comes very close. (And no, I don't get massages whenever I want. We still have to work, and eat and sleep.......) We have a dog named Max and he ate most of my earrings. I love him anyway.
We are currently elbow deep into buying our first home and I am very excited but I wish it would be over with. Planning a wedding, buying a home and surviving summer classes is not fun and I don't want to do it anymore! (More on that later) The home is very beautiful and I think it is well worth every penny. Not to mention the all new, top of the line kitchen appliances. Oh yeah, I cook. Well. And with these appliances, I may never come out of the kitchen.
The wedding is in September and I also can't wait for that to be over. This may come as a shock to you, but I am not one of those fairy tail, I'm the princess do what I say, spend a bunch of money on me, type of girls. In fact the unofficial theme of my wedding is "I don't care". I just want the party at the end. Not the reception, the party. I will definitely post pictures.
Oh that reminds me. I don't believe in "Internet speak" or "text talk". I will never TTYL, or ROTFLMAO, and I will DEF never post PIX. If you catch me doing this, 20 lashes will be acceptable. I will use proper punctuation, grammar, and syntax. As far as I know. As much as I love the Internet for the vast amount of knowledge I may gain from it, I think is is partly responsible for bastardizing the English language and is doing nothing but making our children stupider. Err, dumber. I mean, more dumb.
I come from a large family and I am the oldest of five girls. My sisters are my life. Don't mess with a Marten. You WILL get punked. My mommy counts as a Marten girl, so don't mess with her either. More on her later. She gets her own post.
I am currently in nursing school, because I don't want to be a nurse. I want to be a midwife. I think is would be wise to mention here that I am very crunchy. Sometimes a little too crunchy for people. Also, another post. Suffice it to say, though, that anything having to do with natural, healthy birth, and responsible, involved parenting is right up my alley.
Speaking of school, Anatomy and Physiology, henceforth referred to as A&P, is a very hard class and studying really helps that ole' grade point average.
To be continued......
