Getting Older...

As my 30th birthday is just around the corner and it's rearing it's ugly head at me.  I often wonder when I should start using night time face cream or under eye treatments to help get rid of the wrinkles and to prevent crowsfeet.  After all, men age gracefully and look better with age and we women have nothing to look forward to but sagging body parts and wrinkles.  This sucks, it is nature's way of giving us the middle finger and making us feel bad for ourselves and then we try to look like plastic Barbie. All the guys stop looking at us and start looking at the young things with perky boobs and no cellulite or "Hail Damage".   I have stopped getting carded for alcohol and people call me Ma'am in the stores I shop in.  It is so depressing.   I guess I just have to grab the 30's by the horns and run with it and try my best to feel young no matter if I still look it or not.  Life is short, gotta live it and live it right!  My goal for the next decade is to not worry about what others think as much.  Here's to you 30's!  You suck, but let's go and see what happens! :)

Our Story..

Erik was living in Seattle, Washington and I was living in a smaller suburb of Dallas, Texas. In my job, I take calls for Critical Situations and I locate the proper engineer to take the case and solve the customer's problems. Erik worked for the same company, he would call me when he received a call from the customer for that Critical Situation case. That is how we started talking. It went from Work Calls to Facebook to Instant Messages to Phone Calls then finally Web Cam. This went on for a few months and we started falling fast for each other without even meeting in person. In January 2010, I couldn't take it any longer, I booked a flight and flew to Seattle to meet Mr. Wonderful. As expected the trip was amazing! I met his parents and we went to the top of the Space Needle and that is where we both discussed that we wanted to marry each other and spend the rest of our lives together. It was love at first sight, but when you know it's right, it is right. As the weekend past it was time for us to say a tearful goodbye. He immediately booked a flight to come see me in Dallas in April. That was a long few months to wait. The trip in April was again fantastic and he decided that he wanted to move here to Dallas to start a life together. YES!!  He went home and 2 weeks later made the long drive across the United States to The great state of Texas! On April 24, 2010 Erik proposed to me in the kitchen of our apartment, I of course said YES!! We set the date for September 4, 2010 in the Bahamas. In the meantime waiting for the wedding to approach, we signed a contract to start the building of our new home together in a dream neighborhood north of Dallas that we thought would be perfect for raising a family. The Wedding was beautiful on the beach in Nassau, Bahamas.  It was everything we could only dream of. Our close friends and family were with us and we wouldn't have had it any other way.  In Oct 2010, we moved into our humble abode and we LOVE it!  We have 2 dogs.  A weimaraner named Emma who is 7 years old.  A Yorkshire Terrier named Toby who is 8years old and a new kitten named Miles who we adopted who is somewhere around 6 months old and completely crazy! We have a full house and are extremely happy!
