This is a story of two people plus a huge family and friends who get together and drive each other crazy. Also the story of how the first few years? months? days? can be a wild sometimes very boring ride. See what I learn through my journey with Nick.

The Past Six Months
It's kind of hard easy to say that six months have passed almost (this sunday) since the walk down the aisle. I would say that from friends, co-workers, basically anyone willing to give their opinion, the first year of marriage is the hardest. To some point I can agree with them because even when we were "just" living together, I was Ali and he was N. Now it's smushed together like a Cold Stone ice cream. Don't get me wrong for one second, I love him more than yesterday and I hope this pattern continues because I don't like statistics class and I don't want to become one. Now, I'm not going to sit here and be the kind of person (twitter freaks beware) and list all the good and all the bad that has gone on in six months. I would just like to say that it's amazing that now I am on deck to look for dresses for another friend's wedding and my days of planning are in the past. Don't miss that at all...

Untitled Feelings
http://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DnfZMyHpmhJU&h=a2cb4
I started out the day realizing that I needed to put more effort into a lot of things. I needed to put more effort into my marriage, my work, my school (albeit it just started), and my general attitude. By chance or by shear luck, I was browsing Lifamilies.com and one of the people that belong to the site showed this video of a man giving a beautiful happy birthday message to his wife. Of course, I was sitting there with a cup of coffee in my hand half sobbing because it was so touching. The man has cancer and she has stood by him, taken care of the kids, etc. This is what most people do. This is what you should do. Watching some people say thank you when they could be bitter and sad just makes my day. I started off an idea in my head that was going to be about saving money yadda yadda yadda. I wanted to get a new tattoo over my old one, I wanted a brand new fall wardrobe. I saw this video and all I wanted to do was tell N that I love him. So..like many people say..don't take a damn thing for granted...even if you don't make a youtube video..tell that person, that family member or good friend thank you and that you love them because it would be a shame not to put a smile on someones face.

In my spare time..I'm awesome
Guess which blogger started school this week? me me me!
I already totally raised my hand and all..they are all like me I have been telling people..what does that mean? For the most part we are all politically the same, want to help people, and probably want to someday have a private practice. I had my note book and a "Let's Go Exploring" Dora the Explorer backpack..this rules!
