Well life is boring as of late. I made below an 80 on test in school, so I was forced to withdraw from the class...a month before I was licensed...and I had an 88 average in the class. Pfft. I'm not letting it get me down, though! I'm getting right back on the saddle in a few weeks when the spring semester starts! To top it all off, I'm still graduating on schedule because I'm just going to retake the class I "failed" out of in the summer, which makes up for the lost time! :)
I'm totally SOOOO excited about Christmas this year! We're going up to my grandparents' house for Christmas, which we haven't done since I was a teenager I believe. WHOAH. That was a long time ago. Anywho, it's gonna be quite different seeing as how both my brother and I are all old and married, and my brother and his wife have a baby! But in a lot of ways, it'll be just like the old days! I'm super excited! Plus...I'm getting off work for Christmas! Which I couldn't be more excited about! YAY!
I had a nephew since my last post. Actually a lot happened since then since I pretty much abandoned my poor blog. :( Anyway he's amazing. And when I say amazing, I literally mean there's nothing more amazing on earth! He's THAT amazing! :) I just love him! Today, they tell me he sat up by himself! WOW! Little baby's milestones are so fun! I just love all the fun things he does, and the little noises he makes, and the list goes on and on!
I'm having another niece or nephew in June (my husbands side of the fam) and I'm super excited about that one, too! Babies are all over the place! FUN!
I was reading my posts before making this one, and I suppose the only thing that actually has changed since then is that I now REALLY badly want a baby. :) who knew?! (sarcasm...) And I haven't lost much weight...maybe almost 10 pounds or so. I haven't worked that hard on it. But getting my wisdom teeth taken out sure helped! hahahaha!
Anywho, good night!

Goals and Such
Well, I think I'm making progress.
Working where I currently work, I feel very often that I'm not fulfilling my "calling," whatever that may be. But I wonder why in the world I feel that way if I don't even know what I'm supposed to be doing. At any rate, for 8 (sometimes 10...or more) hours a day at work, I constantly wonder when I'm going to be out of that place and on with my life, pursuing a CAREER.
I said all that to say this...I am going back to school. It's official. Some people don't have to go to school to be successful and happy. I thought I was one of those people. Rather, I hoped I was one of those people. But I'm okay with the fact that I'm not (even though part of me wishes I was) haha.
I hate school. With a passion, I'd say. But I'm learning more and more every single day that, frankly, it doesn't matter how much I hate it or am bad at it. I am CAPABLE, at least, to get it done. And I plan on it.
So I'm going to fill out all the necessary waste-of-time documents, hopefully get some good money to pay for it, and be on my way!
I graduated from high school in 2006. Back then, I thought I was going to graduate from college in 2010 or 2011. That just kinda bums me out to think that if I would've stuck with it...I would be done in a few months. But I can't think like that. I have to think about my future NOW. Plus...depending on where I go...I could be done not-too-far after my original "graduate from college" goal. I could bust my butt. I could work as hard as I could. And I would be done, and it wouldn't feel like it took that long, really. Which is cool to think about.
So that is what I'm gonna do. Meanwhile, I'm going to lose weight. Which is an entirely new undertaking for me. Because I've done it before...for a month or two...and then stopped. But since I got married only about a month ago, I've been thinking a lot about things. You know how they say, "What is there to look forward to now that the wedding is over?" Well, I haven't been dealing with that totally, cuz married life is fun fun fun! But, in a way...I have. Sean and I don't want kids (I'll blog about that one soon), and it'll be a pretty long while until we buy our first house. So I've caught myself feeling...dormant...(?) I don't know if that works there, but that is all I could think of. :) I love my life, my husband, EVERYTHING, I couldn't be more happier, but I know that I need to be DOING something with it.
Anyway, I am going to lose 65 pounds. *GASP* That's a lot of pounds to lose. But I look at it this way...It's really not. I know some people who have lost 100+ pounds, and pretty much have been doing it for YEARS, and will probably be doing it forever. And that's pretty dang inspiring I think. Anyway, if I lost just 5 pounds the first week, and 2 pounds every week after that...i would be at my goal weight in only 30 weeks/ 7 and a half months. That's only a little bit more than half a year. SOOO by my 1 year wedding anniversary, I could be in the best shape of my life! That's a cool thought! Maybe we could go on a cruise...oooh! That sounds fun!
Off to eat some homemade chocolate chip cookies! hehe...my weight loss journey starts April 5th!
Thanks for reading! Come back soon!

First Post! Yipee!
Well hello there! Thanks for stoppin' by. This is my first post on here. So I'll make it short.
I dunno why I decided to get a blog. Because I can...i guess that's why. And I had a cute idea for the title of it. So here I am.
I really don't know what to write about today, and I probably won't many other days either, so we'll just see how it goes! I guess I could start out with some...
Fun Facts about Amy:
1. I love my cat, Gizmo. More than I can express, really.
2. I'm addicted to MySpace and Facebook. They hold an special place in my heart.
3. I'm a newlywed (3/7/09). And I love it! My husband, Sean, is the greatest guy in the world, and I couldn't be happier.
4. I have amazing friends and family. I'm blessed.
5. I don't want kids because I'm scared they will grow up and be bad. ;)
6. I'm a daddy's girl, totally.
7. I am addicted to Greys Anatomy. As in...I get so into it that it affects my life. And I'm totally okay with that. I actually caught myself praying for Izzy this week...no lie.
8. I text a lot, and I hate talking on the phone (unless it's Leah). It's weird, but that's the way it is.
9. I want to go back to school in August. I'm thinking that a lot of this blog will have to do with my "path to choosing and sticking with a career."
10. I'm pretty sure I wanna be a Paramedic. I'm about 95% sure at this point...
11. I stay up late...or early...whichever way you wanna look at it. It's currently 3:30am. I might go to bed in an hour or two.
12. I think I might be half-psychic. :)
Well, heck. That's me...in a nutshell. Hope you enjoy the blog, and bear with me while I'm gettin it up and running! Leave me a comment, if ya wanna!
Until next time....
