iPhoto- I don't really know all the squishy, intricate details and artsy, "my-mom-knows-but-I-don't" features of my MacBook, and I REALLY don't know how to mess with stuff on iPhoto, but it helps me put all my photos in order and it just makes my life easier. Ross got a card reader in the Cincinnati airport when we were on our way to our honeymoon (I'll catch up on the honeymoon post later), and my technologically-illiterate self is grateful for these little things that make life easier. So I guess that's my next thing...
our card reader- I had never had one before, and I instead used the cord that plugs into the camera AND the computer. I LOVE the card reader! It amazes me how this little 4X4 inch plastic box can read up to 12 different camera cards, and how we can just stick our camera card into the little slot and our cute pictures get sucked outta the card and slapped onto the computer screen. Technology amazes me.
my job- although my feet hurt after a shift of standing, climbing, lifting, and walking, I really do enjoy my job. Kirkland's is a great company with great products, and my co-workers make life better. We see quite a smathering of people in our store, and lots of them speak Spanish. I love it when the return customers look for me when they come in. I have 3 co-workers that come from Hispanic descent, yet I supposedly speak the better Spanish. At least I think that's why they send all the Mexicans to me when they come in the store. Which leads to my next point...
my bilingualism (?)- I LOVE speaking Spanish! Living in Tucson has really helped me to be able to speak it a lot more, and I love it when I ask someone how they're doing (when it's obvious that they're from Mexico), and they look at me like they can't believe they're ears. "Pero tu eres una guerrita... una americana, no? Hablas BIEN el espanol!" or basically "but you're a white girl... an American, right? You speak really good Spanish!" Honestly, that is one of the greatest compliments for me.
wall decor- this sounds SO TRIVIAL, but really, I'm grateful for it. We live in a temporary, RATHER GHETTO apartment here in Tucson with BIG, WHITE walls. On these walls, we have 3 pictures of us from the wedding, a tiny wooden plaque with a little saying on it, a bouquet of 3 dry roses that Ross got me for Mother's Day, a decorative letter 'G' (for Graham... just thought I'd help you out with that one if you were wondering ), and another small wall hanging. Oh yeah, and a really cool, 24" decorative metal wall clock from Kirkland's that I talked Ross into getting. It was only $15 with my employee discount, so it was kinda one of those MUST HAVES, ya know? So, basically what I want to say is that I CAN'T WAIT to have my own home where I can decorate the walls... walls that will not be white!!!
and last but CERTAINLY not least, my sweet husband- Ross is my greatest blessing, my confidant, my personal comedian AND cook, and my best friend. He's the happiest, most optimistic person I know, and even when he has bad days, he comes home with a smile and a kiss for his wife. He makes me a better person simply because I see how genuinely GOOD he is, and I want to be like him. There is no other man in the world I would want to be my eternal companion, and there is no one better to raise my children. I love that man with all of my soul.
Now, I want to try and be blogger-literate and post a video of us. Let's see how I do.
I shot this towards the end of last semester, and Ross was practicing the drums for his Percussion Methods class. When I say that I have a live-in comedian, I mean it. Maybe you won't think this is really that funny, but I still laugh when I watch this. I think he's hilarious just because there is NO SHAME with him! He's totally off the wall and he just puts me into fits of giggles.
With that said, life is good and we can't complain. Ross and I have each other, a mostly-white-walled apartment, 2 good jobs (possibly 3 after my interview with David's Bridal... fingers crossed!), and enough love between us to last Aphrodite a lifetime. Happy is as Happy does =)

Private understudy advances are not needs based like government help and advances are, yet they are credit based. That implies that you confront troubles when applying for this sort of credit. Payday Loans
It just continues endlessly. Since private understudy advances, fundamentally, are replacing what used to be free understudy help, these are only a costly new installation in the lives of generally families. cash advance chicago
