"I don't see it, I think they both could do better."

Its been a while since I have blogged. But because there is 2 loads of laundry waiting, dishes in the sink, homework to attend to and some take-home projects from work to tackle... it seems like the perfect time to blog.

Today was a horrible day to wake up. I thought today was going to be awful. I didn't even want to give it a chance. I whined and moaned to my husband about how much I didn't want today to be.... "noooooo, I don't like today." Then Joseph reminded me why today was going to be great. no.... why today was going to be FANTASTIC. and even more so that today was going to be MEMORABLE. I smiled, shaped up, and went out to face this 'today'... and it was good.

I am going to take bad days at that from now on...what I might consider a bad day might be the best day of someone's life, and why be a joy kill? And who am I to claim that I KNOW when God is going to teach me, show me, or love on me in someway special?

However, there was one reason that today was extra special. My brother is engaged. There. The secret is out! My brother proposed to miss Katie Cheney today and I will soon have a sister! hooray! Words can't cover the joy in my heart for this couple. For me to find someone I consider worthy of my brother is one thing....but to have met Katie and question if my brother is even worthy of her...... means that this is going to be epic.

So, wedding bells will chime once more in the Fink household!

"And we're the 4 best friends that anyone could have.." :-)

The way I are....

DabuDidabuDiDabuDI Dabu DI....I'm BLUE!!! heheeh remember that awesome song??
Tonight, I am working on playlists for my newly working ipod. It deserves a new playlists. Adding such titles as "DANCE" "TECHNO sorta" "My name is Kate... and I like to Party" & "Daydream."

Today was my husband's Birthday. HAPPY BIRTHDAY you Old FART~!!

Getting ready for my vacation. I could not be more excited for a few days off.
Things have been very frustrating at work.
My whole life I have been in situations where I was ahead of the game, young for whatever i was taking part in....this situation is no exception; save for the fact my inexperience gets in my own wya sometimes and frustrates me. And my boss tends to 'tease' ... in the sense my administrative inexperience she thinks is 'cute' 'adorable' etc. my nerves are frayed with in an inch of my sanity.
TO top it off business is pretty slow for the summer.

Trying to decide on one piece of good reading material for my trip. And of course indulge in my usual airport magazine...probably Vogue. Or maybe a Good Housekeeping?? You can see my life priorities are torn...

grrrr

"Hope has two beautiful daughters: their names are anger and courage. Anger that things are the way they are. Courage to make them the way they ought to be."~ saint augustine

I have the anger but am a cowardly mouse.

joyness

Joseph and I have had a an amazing 1 year anniversary...the aquarium, hiking, rock climbing, Inception, my family, his family, my bro and Katie, and BUFFY!

Rock climbing could become very addictive. Forget me being afraid of heights, finally letting go was exhilarating!

I have a love hate relationship with hiking. Hate that its a fight to get going, especially in high altitude like yesterday Mind over matter.... in which I always win. LOVE that middle part where we stop, sit, and enjoy God's glorious creation!! Both of us quiet and contemplative. And LOVE the trip back to the car...the last half. However, I hate the drive home for some reason; probably cause I am usually dehydrated and feel sick haha.

A glorious weekend with hubby, family and friends. And year old cake ..blech :-)

I can't believe I have been married one year today to Joseph! 3 years since we met... time flies when you're having fun

Missing you somthing aweful

People come and go in our life like the weather. Sometimes when I reminisce I dedicate songs to them. Entire playlists for others. You'd be surprised, you should ask me what YOUR song is!

When I reminisce about some people I am always surprised about even the smallest, most insignificant of relationships can have such an impact on my life.

Back on the Roof Again

Back on the couch again. I just can't sleep sometimes. Maybe it is the Frozen yogurt from an earlier BTO session with ashflash..... :-)

And here I am again. Back on the couch. It's 1 am. And I am exhausted, no ready for another long work day.
I guess I am just letting all the stress get to me; it makes me want to tear my hair out some days. It feels so grown up!! And lonely. And stressful. And sometimes exciting. Like a constant reminder of how insignificant I am in God's much bigger world.

Marriage

I am blessed to be married to the awesome-est guy ever. but let's be honest, even when you are married to Mr. Awesome, Marriage is a challenge.

I have always said, even before I was married, that marriage is like any other 'job' in life....Something you have to work at everyday. Well, now that I am almost a full year married, I can now say with CONVICTION, that I was VERY RIGHT!!

However, the interesting thing to me, is that the challenges I assumed we would have are not an issue, it is always the things I, again ASSUMED, were too simple too be an issue! awww such is life. Such is marriage.

And THAT is why God gave us humor, then the end of the 'little' thing fights can be funny! sometimes.... :-)
