yes i know it has been a very LONG time since i have updated the ol' blog. being that i am sitting at home alone and corbin is asleep, i have time. ok lets face it, i have probably had "time" lots of nights but i never think about it.
so much has happened in my life since my last post. well i guess its really only one BIG thing. dusty and i bought our first home! it is so nice to have our own space. don't get me wrong, living with dusty's mom tami was great. tami and i get along wonderfully and it was actually really hard moving out. i miss my wheel of fortune/jeopary partner. i don't have to deal with the "my mother in law is a damn nightmare" thing like alot of other people i know. when all of our stuff was cleared from the basement and i walked down there and realized that i don't live here anymore, it was hard. it was sad. it really took alot outta me. then the real fun began. here i am young and nieve thinking, "oh yay moving is going to be so much fun!" what a joke. moving is the worst thing i think people do to themselves. i actually think me and dusty will die in this house because i never, never want to move again. a word of advice for anyone buying a home, don't buy it from some hippy environmentalist guys. i honestly believe this house was never properly cleaned before we moved in. is it really that bad for the environment to mop the floor? how about clean the windows? clean a toilet? weed and feed the lawn? we still have alot of work to do. i would say right now we are settled in and comfortable. we still have some major remodeling that we need to get done but we have forever to do that. (like i said i am NEVER moving again.) i feel like we have all the time in the world.
corbin is getting big. well i guess i wouldn't say he is getting big because i actually think he is pretty small, compared to his tank of a cousin, brady. brady was born 3 months after corbin, and lets just put it this way... he definetely has corbin beat in the size department. corbin doesn't really have much of a chance as far as height goes. me and dusty are both pretty short, but you never know. corbin has a ton a hair. he has had about 6 hair cuts and he is in need of another. dusty wants to grow corbins hair out, but with summer rapidly approaching i don't think that would be very comfortable for him.
corbin's one year b-day is coming up next week. let me tell you i am stressed! 40 people at least in my house! i have never really had people over and now i have to prepare for 40 people! i don't even think i have ever even thrown a real party,(without kegs and drunk people. oh the joys of being a teenager) so this should be a fun learning experience. i guess it can go one of two ways. one being everything will work out great and everyone will hopefully leave saying, "wow that gina sure knows how to give a good birthday party!" two it could turn into a disaster and we will run out of food, run out of drinks, run out of seating, and people will leave saying, "wow gina sure needs to get her crap together before she decides to invite 40 people to her house." i have this bad feeling it will be two.
i have this problem. i worry about everything. excessively. i worry about dusty, i worry about corbin, i worry about work, i worry about my family, i worry about the cars, i worry about the house, i worry that utah will have a huge earthquake that will kill us all, i worry about every little noise i hear when i am home alone, (thank god for tami! being that she lives 2 blocks away i call her quite often to reassure me that no one is trying to break into my house and kill me. "don't worry gina, i heard it too.") so yeah i guess you could say i am maybe a little high strung. oh well. thats just me i guess. poor corbin. i hope i am not a crazy overprotective parent. judging me today i would say that is exactly the kind of parent i will be.
anyway, things right now in my life are perfect. i have my beautiful baby boy who is learning new things by the second, i have a wonderful husband who would do anything for me, i have a great family, and i have a space to call my own.
dusty is my rock. he is the best husband ever. he just is that way. i don't have to nag him or yell at him all the time. its just who he is. dusty was put on this earth to be a father/husband. he is amazing. he calls me several times a night when he is at work just to see how things are going at home and how corbin is doing, he always asks me to send him pictures of corbin because he misses him, he lets me have the remote (most of the time), he listens to my crazy worried rants, he lets me leave the kitchen light on all night so i don't get scared, he never hangs up, leaves the house, or goes to sleep without telling me how much he loves me, he makes me feel beautiful even when i feel like hiding under a rock, he does laundry, dishes, and makes the bed, he puts up with my obsessive computer/facebook habit, he is just dusty. i am lucky enough to call him my husband. he is perfect. best dad ever.
corbin is the light of my life. corbin is my reason. i know i was put on this earth to be corbin's mommy. he has completed my whole being. i thought i was so lucky just to have dusty, now i have dusty and his little mini-me. it really is almost scary the way dusty and corbin look exactly alike. corbin is going to be a heartbreaker.
i had 3 new years resolutions. 1-buy a house, check 2-always be reading a book, check (i have read 15 books since christmas), 3-lose weight... trying... hopefully within the next month i will be down 20lbs at least. if all goes according to plan. (fingers crossed) i will keep you posted. if i feel like talking about it.
now that am realizing how completely out of control this one little update has become, i think i will sign off. don't worry more to come soon.
