Truth Tuesday!

During the week I think of random thoughts that probably matter to nobody but myself, but I still feel like telling someone. Then I think, "Oh! I can write it in my Truth Tuesday post!" Then Tuesday rolls around, and because I haven't written it down anywhere, I forget all about those thoughts. So, this Tuesday, here are some random thoughts that I have on the brain at the moment. Maybe one day I'll learn that it doesn't always have to be Tuesday to share my thoughts.


  • I applied for a job today. Well, I applied for several jobs but I got a really quick response from the job I wanted most. It's an after school counselor for kids, but as far as I can tell it's more physical activity rather than just mentoring the kids. I get to play with them! There aren't a lot of hours but that's okay with me. I just need something to do during the day and I'd like to get paid for it. This job sounds really fun and I'm hoping I get it! Cross your appendages for me. :) 
  • Kam and I have both had our share of sickness this last week. He had a terrible stomach ache last Thursday while I was battling a cold. Then yesterday I had a wicked stomach ache. It's not a fun thing, sickness. In fact, that was the first time I saw Kameron cry. Ever. THAT'S how bad it was. Broke my heart right in two. I learned that while I hate when he's sick, I like being to be the one to take care of him. I packed him with saltines and Sprite, and he was feeling better by that night. Luckily, we're both well today and now we're loungin' on the couch together. I love being married. 
  • We got gym passes to Planet Fitness and I've been loving it. It feels good to be in a regular work out routine. I figured out I'm much more likely to get exercise when I have somewhere to exercise that isn't my own home. Exercise at my own home usually means getting off the couch to go get more food. 
  • A couple weeks ago we got our wedding pictures back and I'm in LOVE with them. I've looked through them so many times just to look at them. That day was awesome. I want to get married again...to Kameron of course...but that was such a fun time and it was probably the happiest day of my life up to this point. I shall include a picture at the end of this post. 
  • I'm so excited to start school again but totally not excited to start school again. I love learning and I love my major and I love having something to do and feeling like I have another purpose in my life when Kam is at work besides trying to beat a level in Peggle. However, I do NOT like homework, sleepless nights, being tired all the time and finals. Oh, and paying for it. I see everyone's posts on Facebook about how tired they are of school and my little fantasies of going back to school and loving school vanish. At least I only have a semester left. 
  • I'm not used to having a last name that the majority of the people I come in contact with have never heard in their lives. It's a good think I was good at spelling it before I got married. 
  • Speaking of marriage, tomorrow marks two months that me and Mr. Kasparian have been married. It seems like it's been longer than that, but in the best way possible. He's pretty swell, that one. I think I'll keep him around for a while. Maybe eternity. Definitely eternity. 
Happy Tuesday!
