Update

So, I haven't blogged in a long while. My last blog saw me really down in the dumps. I am still concerned about the future and my Beloved's feelings or lack thereof for me. However, we are able to talk a lot more lately, and I hope that that is a good sign. Optimistic Mandy is back! Lol. I can never be down too long, it's just not in my nature. I am confident again that I will regain her love. In other news: I turned 26 Saturday last. My family went on a big trip to San Antonio for the weekend. We went up there partly because my aunt bought our washer and dryer and we were delivering it. But, we also just wanted to get away and relax. We stayed at a really nice hotel and had a great time. We went to the zoo, my nieces first time!! She was adorable as ever, but wholly uninterested in the animals. I think she was a bit too young to truly understand. Lol. We went to Market Square and looked around too, and that was as fun as ever. Something we always do when we go there. We tried the pool, but it was really really chlorinated, and crowded. It was an indoor pool too, so every noise was echoed and made louder. Plus these stupid people had their kids in there while they were outside drinking and flirting, and they were jumping around and splashing, and it scared Jena. When I yelled at the second kid for jumping into the pool right next to the baby, mom decided it was time to go. I guess she figured I'm not usually the type to yell at other people, so if I'm saying something it's a big deal. It wouldn't have been except for my baby was there, and she was scared and I wanted to drown the cretin for doing it. I'm a bit protective of my niece. Lol. Also, my dad got the job at Trio!! He's got this truly hideous work van, I'll have to take a picture and post it so you can see how horrific it is!! Lol. But, I think he's so proud to have a job he doesn't care. Lol. It's great to see him happy again. My poor brother though.. He didn't do well enough in his apprenticeship class to live up to union standards, so the school dropped him and the company he was working for fired him! It's such crap. We're all so upset over it. He and his wife have been out every day this week job hunting. My little sister also wants to get a summer job, so that means all four of us are looking for employment now! Lol. I really hope we get something soon. It's so frustrating looking and not finding anything. Oh!! And we think that Jena is getting her first tooth on top!! :D She acts like she's chewing all the time, and I think she's clicking her teeth together because she likes the sound. It's SOOO ADORABLE!!!! Lol. Anyway, I think that's all for tonight. I'm starting a Diet Journal on here and I'll be writing in it every day, so hopefully I'll write more here too!! Lol. Well, nighty night!! Love you Beloved!! Cheers.
