Update!Update!Update!

Ok, so it's been almost 4 months since I posted on this thing and boy have a lot happened since then.

Christmas: I was so looking forward to our first christmas together and for the most part it was good. In the wee hours of the morning, we exchanged gifts and we both loved the gifts we got for each other. I spent the day cooking because some of my family and friends were coming over. Dinner went well, except that my aunt and uncle were arguing quite a bit(that's normal though). The entire day I kept feeling a sharp pain in my back, but ignored it cause it was christmas. After dinner, we went over to Sharon's to do our "white elephant" exchange. Again the pain was there and this time I couldn't ignore it. So we left and went to the ER! That sucked. After 7 hours doc finally told me what was wrong with me, I had a kidney infection and my blood sugar was EXTREMELY high! Only good thing is...........I got an entire week off of work........woohoo!

New Year's: We went to bed before midnight...............what a boring old couple we've turned into. So sad. Oh well, we enjoy our life and the party scene just isn't us.

Moving forward, I am adjusting to life again and boom, the pain is back. Why I ask? So I ignore it yet again. Feb.6th I am driving home from work and I almost passed out at the wheel from the pain. I pulled over and called Austin. I make it home and it's back to the ER. What's wrong? Well I have a bloody kidney infection again. This time not as bad as the first time and now my blood sugar is low. Why is my body attacking me? They've ran tests and no clue what caused me to have two kidney infections in 5 weeks. Only thing weird was they found Ecoli in my system. Ecoli?????? what? Where did that come from? Anyhow, seems like the treatment has worked this time cause I've been kidney infection free for the past 2 months.

I turned the big 25 on feb.20th. I am now officially a part of the quarter century club. 25 crept up on me. I got really down that day cause I felt like I hadn't accomplished any of the goals I set for myself and that bothered me a lot. Towards the end of the day, I realized that while I hadn't achieved most of the goals I set, I achieved the biggest one of them all............I am happy. And that's more important than any job/career or degree could ever make me. We had a quite dinner at home, watched American Idol and retired to bed.

St. Paddy's Day............it's our one year anniversary...........YAY!!!!!!!!!!!! Lot of people think we wouldn't make it because of how quickly we got married and in the beginning I believed them cause it was rough, but somehow, we got pass all that and now our life is almost perfect. We started our anniversary out by taking a weekend getaway to San Antonio, TX where we visited the Alamo, the riverwalk and the wildlife ranch. It was pretty cool, in some ways reminded me of Jamaica. We got back and spent a relaxing day at home and in the evening we went to Bob's Steak & Chop House for dinner. PRICEY!!!!!!!!!! But the best steak I've ever had. I highly recommend it.

Since then, just the usual. Work, home, church. Saw a friend from High School last friday night, she was here visiting her friend. That was awesome, been a while since I'd seen anyone from Jamaica, much less high school. We laughed the entire time we were together.

My mom will be here in 6 weeks and I can't wait. My bro should be moving here for school as well(cross our fingers that he gets his student visa) and Austin and I are thrilled about that.

Nothing else to report. That's it for now.

Love, Simone :-)
