I am having a baby, well not me, but you get the idea

So, I haven't really mentioned it much yet, but the news is true.  Chelsea and I are expecting a child.  We don't know the gender yet, but will find out sometime in January.  I am actually looking forward to being a father, I am not sure why I am not even the slightest bit hesitant or afraid.  I think its going to be alright.

Work Life Home Life

So, I have had my current job for 5 weeks now. Don't get me wrong, I really do like it, but I can see where it is already taking its toll. Currently I work really late and that seems to be putting a strain on my home life. The only time I really have to spend with my wife is the weekends. I suppose in hindsight I should have realized this would happen, however I am not that bright. Juggling work and home life is hard. I simply wish there was more time. I feel especially bad because I sometimes don't feel like helping around the house as much. I mean I still have time to do stuff in the mornings, but sometimes I would much rather just watch The Price Is Right and relax for a little. I just don't know if that is selfish of me to do. I just don't know what I am going to do. I think I just need to make more of an effort at everything, because work has made me tired and less willing to do pretty much anything. I do hope that overtime I get used to these hours. I think I will.

The Aftermath - Day 1

These are pictures of Chelsea's classroom at the end of day 1. I forgot to take before pictures, but let's just agree that it looks nicer than it did.


At this point we didn't really have all the layout decided

We mostly threw out old stuff, cleaned and organized.

Lots of things needed moving and fixing

At this point we are pleased, but know more work will come

This closet was gross and now its kind of better

Time to go, look at those neat desks

Look at all that stuff to unpack and sort

We decided that we really needed to use this umbrella

The one nice thing about this room, clean new carpet

The whiteboard is SO dirty, very difficult to clean

Those cubbyholes were full of stuff and the top was piled with things

We got the teacher desk set up, one thing off the list.

Day 1 was definitely difficult, we could not do a lot with the furniture until the late afternoon, because there was a large case of stuffed birds in the room, gross, but we eventually got it all done - or at least all we could do that day.

Happy 1 Month

It has now been 1 month since I got married to the most wonderful, beautiful, amazing girl in the world. I love her. I really do. I am getting a little sad writing this as I won't get to spend much of any time with her today. She'll be in class all morning and I'll be in class all afternoon and evening. I love you, Chelsea. You mean so much to me. We've only been married 1 month, but already we've been through so much. The rest of our lives, can you only imagine, how wonderful it will be? I love you.

Back To The Grind

Well, my blissful first week of marriage is all but over. That is my vacation is gone. Today I must return to work, even though I don't wish to. However, it is ok I suppose, because I know my love will be waiting for me when I get home. YAY!!

This has been the best week of my life, so far. Though I know it will be very very difficult to do better than this week, but maybe it could happen, some years down the road, we'll see, what do I know.

We have spent the week setting up our cool new apartment. So I'd say we have a great place going on. Really we do. This is a good place, small, but good.

Life is good, more later.

Going out is fun

I just have to say that going out with your significant other is a lot of fun.

Whether you go to the most expensive restaurant in town or the favorite chinese food place you always have fun, or at least I do.

The the time to go out and enjoy life with loved ones.

New Apartment

I can not wait to move into our new apartment.

First agenda: Paint!!

Second agenda: Unpack!!

Third agenda: Relaxation!!

Only a little over a week (8 Days) and we shall be in a new place.

Yay!!

Wedding Day Comes Closer

It is now July 24 this means that the wedding is almost here.

Now only 11 DAYS!!!!!


All right. Wish us luck!!

C'est La Vie

So, life is good. I say that because in 1 month, 1 week, 1 day I am getting married to my love. I am feeling great and can not wait for the big day. Now grant you it isn't going to be the biggest and most spectacular wedding of the season, but we don't it to be. We just want to have fun, enjoy ourselves and be happy.

You know...

I sometimes don't understand myself, at all and I don't know why. There is just something slightly confusing in that, don't you think? I mean if you can't even understand your own thoughts or actions.

I guess sometimes I am torn, heavily, by my actions. Is there some part of me that really thinks or acts this way or is it all random, or extremely spontaneous. That is not a common repeated form of action. I certainly hope so.

I mean, I don't think I am a bad person. I try not to do anything bad. However, I guess no one can be totally pious and good. I suppose anyway.

I don't really know where I am going with this, I just feel a little better having written it, perhaps more later...

Her Majesty

Her Majesty's a pretty nice girl,
but she doesn't have a lot to say
Her Majesty's a pretty nice girl
but she changes from day to day

I want to tell her that I love her a lot
But I gotta get a bellyful of wine
Her Majesty's a pretty nice girl
Someday I'm going to make her mine, oh yeh,
someday I'm going to make her mine.

You know when I hear this song it makes me think of one person, my love. I think in some way I find her to be my queen. Now I don't know if she knows this, but it is true. I love her a lot.

Classes and Work

So now I know and knowing is half the battle.
Or something like that.

I am bored with both. I just want to spend time with my love.

I suppose however, in the "real world" you need things like education and work and the dreaded and loved money.

Sometimes I want it to be simpler, easier, Utopian in fact. I guess we'll just have to wait and see what happens.

I think eventually everything balances itself out.

Updates

Well so a few things have happened:

1) Maybe got a job!! Well technically I do, but we'll see how it works out.

2) School starts on Tuesday, and only 3 semesters (including this one) left!!

3) I love Chelsea...SO MUCH!!

4) Going to save money - need vehicle, used, cheap, fuel effecient. Is that too much to ask for??

5) Life is good.

It's been a whole year!!

I have been dating my girlfriend for a whole year. That is so amazing. I love it. This is only the beginning of a beautiful and long relationship.

Love you C.

I Love My Chelsea

I love her so. She is so great. I enjoy spending as much time with her as possible.

It's hard to say in any exact words how much I love her, but it certainly is to a great extent. She is the most wonderful thing in my world. I could not and will not imagine my world without her.

She is the most wonderful girl in the world. She is amazing.

I love her so.

Lego Star Wars II

From Site:

"This is the Star Wars you know and love, and then again, it's not. It's brimming with the familiar, including fantastic fighting, flying and shooting segments. But the backdrop for everything is a parody that seems tireless. It's obviously not the Star Wars that inspires cult-like reverence if you can put Darth Vader's head on Princess Leia's body, although that makes perfect sense in this game because, right, all the bodies are assortments of Lego pieces."

Jefferson's, Girlfriend and Poopin

This weekend was great.

For One: Jefferson's on TV Land Marathon. It is so cool. I have to say I enjoy randomly watching the Jefferson any time during the day. It is a good show.

Two: Mexican food. I have had so much food this weekend, a good deal of it being of a hispanic or mexican persuasion. Good stuff. I really really enjoyed it. Except that it made me sick. I pooped a good deal, a lot. Oh and the gas is BAD!! I mean just ask Russell or Chelsea they had to experience my gas first hand.

Three: My girlfriend, she's the best. I've been spending a lot of time with her. I love spending time with her. I love her. We went out and spent so much time together. It was great. Russell, however was very disgusted because we were "mashing faces" at the apartment. I of course like kissing Chelsea.

-Ben-

Also on personal note: God, if you read blogs, please let Chelsea's evil grandmother die quickly and maybe painfully. Of course, Satan, I know you're all over the web, if you're reading this we'll take your work too. We just HATE that evil bitch. We want her dead. Now look, this may seem harsh, but if you've ever met this horrible women you'd want her dead too, or maybe brain dead. So in conclusion, burn the bitch. Also Chelsea if this is too much tell me and I'll edit it.

Live Life, Love Life, Be Happy

I've been thinking about this and I have to say that I in very happy place right now. Sure I can't say this is perfect or as good as it could be, but it doesn't matter. I AM SO DAMN HAPPY! Life is wonderful.

I want you my faithful and true readers and friends to reflect upon your own lives and judge your happiness. See all the wonderful things around you. Think of all the wonderful things or people in your life. Most of all think about yourself!! You should make yourself happy, because you are here.

It's great, just think about it. I mean it, seriously, think. You are here, you're alive, you can enjoy life.

It is so good to be here.

With love,
=B=

This is a good song

Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word

Music by Elton John Lyrics by Bernie Taupin Available on the album Blue Moves

What have I got to do to make you love me What have I got to do to make you care What do I do when lightning strikes me And I wake to find that you're not there What do I do to make you want me What have I got to do to be heard What do I say when it's all over And sorry seems to be the hardest word It's sad, so sad It's a sad, sad situation And it's getting more and more absurd It's sad, so sad Why can't we talk it over Oh it seems to me That sorry seems to be the hardest word What do I do to make you love me What have I got to do to be heard What do I do when lightning strikes me What have I got to do What have I got to do When sorry seems to be the hardest word

Other Things To Note

So as you probably all know Italy won it all. Yay!

Psych sucked! I don't expect it to last, but will watch it anyway.

Soon I will see my love again, Yay!

Politics is something that shouldn't be discussed by civil people, only politicians.
