Wedding Video

I'm learning how to be a wife...

I'm learning how to smile and nod...even when the story goes on too long

I'm learning that watching the wedding video over and over again is only fun for me

I'm learning how to share a bathroom with a boy

I'm learning that my house will never be clean

I'm learning how to take a deep breath

I'm learning that cuddling is great...until he overheats

I'm learning that he can only watch so many chick flicks

I'm learning that I can't always have ALL the attention

Im learning that a simple "I love you" is all I need to get through my day

I'm learning that although it was the scariest decision of my life, it was the best choice I ever made

California

For the past 3 months, we've been living in San Jose, CA where Richard has been working hard selling alarm systems. It was so exciting to move here since it's where I grew up, and the company put us in an amazing apartment, rent free! I'm working for the company as an office administrator, which is nice since my commute consists of getting in an elevator and going down two floors. I know, it's rough...

Richard has been doing really well with selling but a few weeks ago, he decided that he would apply for a job as a San Jose police officer! I obviously didn't approve at first but

after I heard how much he'd be getting paid and about the 90% retirement income and the benefits for life, I was all for it! I actually talked with the retired assistant to the chief of police who calmed all my fears and actually helped me realize what a good job it would be. So Richard went and took the written test, the physical agility test, and the oral interview test and passed all three! So next week, he'll start the background investigation and that's pretty much it! So we might be moving back here for good in January! It's kind of crazy to think that this is where we could be raising a family...but I don't mind, the beach is only a half hour away!
