| Journal 2002 |
| May 29, 2003 Well I think doing this journal once a month might actually just work..actually I have already done the journel for May but I decided to do another one so that I don't start getting behind.. Well things have been major crazy since the last journal. Big news: On Friday May 2, I took a pregnancy test and it came out negative (ok I am a big dummy, I thought that you could take the test up to four day after you had sex ..whatever..no one taught me about this stuff ..) so after feeling like a big dummy, I forgot all about it. Kris and I decided that hey, when it happens it happens. Then as a joke, on May 13, after almost 10 days of cramping like my period was going to start, I decided what the hey...and guess what...POSITIVE!!! I was in major shock..I had to keep looking at the test OVER AND OVER AND OVER!!! Well long story short..and trying not to be too gross about it all, but hey hopefully we are all adults about stuff like this..May 15 I started to spot a little (blood that is). May 16 I went to our family doctor and it was confirmed that I was in fact PREGO!! Saturaday was a blast, I took Abby to the annual Dog walk to help homeless animals. Abby got to socialize and run around with about 100 other dogs and her and Maggie got along GREAT!. But Saturday was also a bit of a bummer because my spotting turned into light bleeding (doctor kept saying that it might be normal since some women actually have periods during pregnancy but if it got heavier or if I really was worried to go to the OBGYN). By Sunday it was getting a bit heavier and was quite scary but no one is open on Sunday and I was not in major pain so I didn't go to the emergency room. Then on Monday, for lack of a better description, it was as if Hoover dam exploded! I totally freaked out and went immedietly to the OBGYN!! Another long story short. After the exam and after several blood hormone tests, the outcome has not been positive...but the one great thing is that at least we know I can get pregnant! It was quite a downer and was a bit of an emotional rollar coaster but things happen for a reason...Kris seems to have handled it well to and when ever it happens, it will happen. On a more happy note, JP (Kenia's cousin)moved and has settled into his new apartment and it is totally rockin!!! The apartment is totally fab (even has built in wine racks over the fridge!!) and even though it may look small, with all his furnishings and awesome decorating, it actually is quite spacious! His pool, which is just outside his back door, is amazing! He had Kris and I and some of my family members over for the Memorial holiday and it was a blast! THANKS AGAIN JP...aghh..I mean Joe (that is what he likes to be called now that he is all grown up! : ) ) |
| Month of June 2003 - Ok, well there has been alot going on since my last posting. Kris and I are still trying the whole baby making thing and funny thing is that now that I am NOT pregnant, all that stuff I went online and signed up for (free things for pregnant women) is all coming in! I mean I got this huge book about rasing babies from State Farm and then I got like a box of formula and some bibs and coupons and stuff!!!! Pretty cool! Had quite a bit of Birthdays this month. On June 12 we celebrated Carol Carlson's 59th birthday, on June 17, was my bestest friend in the whole wide world Kathy's birthday and then on June 23 it was Mayra Goolsby's 51st birthday and also freind Tom Alzarka's birthday! HAPPY BIRTHDAY GUYS!! Kris and I have been remodeling our house, mainly our bathroom and our bedroom. We hope to shortly redo the living room. Our behind us neighbor had to remodel some of the fence because her dog (whom is actually very cute and sweet and seems to be part spitz and maybe even chow chow) has taken a bite out of the fence,...actually quite a lot of bites. Not sure if the repair work is going to hold, because this seems to be one really determend dog! I finally got in touch with an old friend of mine Chris Pulley and his wife Jennifer Powers Pulley. I WAS SO SUPER DUPER HAPPY!!! My highschool reunion is coming up in less then a month. I have decided that maybe it is time to try and lose this childish pot belly that I have held onto for so long....has become sort of like a security blanket for me..lol..just kidding. Actually I need to get back into shape. Tone up a bit and maybe build some more muscle. Might start doing my Tae Bo again. And since I have that super fab workout center in my garage, I should probably use it. Well that is all I can think of for now. |
| Month of July, 2003 - Ok so I actually had to go back and read last months journal because I forgot what has happened since then..must be getting old and the senileness must be kicking in..Today we are actually experiencing a tornado watch, which actually has become commonplace for us down here. The rain is bad but I really know it is bad when the wind practically knocks you over or overturns your umbrella..like it did to me today. Also, the wind is blowing really hard righ now and the front door of my office keeps blowing open and closing...kinda freaky...if this was a movie it would be a great spot for ghosts to sneak in thou I am sure ghosts could just float through the wall....anyway.. In further news, I finally decided that maybe I should go to my 10 year reunion. Our "Mixer" was at this new Cuban place downtown called Bossa. It was pretty cool. Got to try their Cuban Sandwich and ribs and some other things and they were quite tasty...It is a very uniquely built restaurant and when downtown finally stops all the construction it will probably be pretty packed. The guy that runs it is married to a girl from my school who actually I think I have gone to school with for a very long time and I think we also went to the same church. Anyway, saw a few folks, and it was fun. There was probably about 50 people there. The funniest moment was when this girl that was my best friend in elementary came up to me. Actually her husband came up first (also went to school with him)and we talked and I looked over at her and said hey and her name....she looked at me and was all "why did you call me that name" and I answered "because IT IS your name" to which she answered "how do you know that" which I then advised her of all these things we use to do together and that she lived down the street and blah blah...well once she realized who I was...well I was hugged like ten and a half gazzillion times and she kept screaming oh my god Kenia and hugged me and then screamed again and then hugged and this went on for about 20 minutes during which her husband told me that she was EXTREMLY drunk! The actually reunion was pretty good. It was slow at first and man the drinks were beyond expensive...actually they were not super bad but I had just forked over $60 each for Kris and I to get in so you would think the drink prices would not be so insane! I saw quite a few people I had not seen in a while and it was great to see them and see what was going on with them.....I was upset with what I wore..thou I love my mom's for picking it out I should have totally stood my ground and worn what I wanted. The dress was very nice and fit me great but it looked like a funeral dress. And here is my big mess up...I soooooooooo wanted to see my friend Ritu Das whom I was suppose to be roomies with at SFA. I told Stacey Gardner Mitchell to keep aneye out for her. Well there was this pretty Indian girl who had walked by and said hi to me but I just could not place her. Well a few minutes later Stacey said hey that was Ritu. To make a long story short...I went up to her and introduced her to Kris and was rehashing all these memories. Well she kept looking at me like I was on crack but she was nice about it...after a few minutes I saw her name tag and realized she was in fact Reetu.....JAIN!!!! not my RITU DAS!!! I felt like a major dorky nerd and slowly walked away...I got a few phone numbers and I even got emails from this book thing they gave us. I have corresponded already with like 4 people from that book via email! This reunion did make me realize that I need to seriously find KAVITA! I thought she would go...actually I knew she would not but hey I ended up there and I am sure lots of people didn't think I would actually go...well that is all for now... |
