Best Birthday Ever!!

Rob had to go out of town on my Birthday for a show so we celebrated the day before by going to the MN State Fair. We had a lot of fun, it was hot but we ate a ton. On our way home we stopped and I got a pedicure to treat my poor aching feet. Then at home Rob gave me my gift of 3 - 1 hour body massages at my favorite massage place.

Later that night I was laying on the couch wathcing tv as Rob packed up the van to leave and I got the BEST GIFT EVER. I felt the baby kick. Well it was more of a flutter and I know it wasn't "just gas" I felt it about 4 times. I was in Heaven. Then I only felt it once on my Birthday and then once today in church. But I am just so happy I finally get to feel him/her moving. I'm sure a few months from now I will be telling the baby to stop kicking your hurting mommy or mommy is trying to sleep. But hey so far so good.

Oh and I also woke up on Saturday morning to a wonderful assortment of flowers Rob left me for my Birthday. He did very good this year!!!

I am not up North at my mom's spending time with her and my step dad. It's been a faboulous weekend so far. Of course I wish my husband was here to share it with me but hey he is promoting to new people so more power to him.

Just thought I would update you all who read my blogs. Love you all bunches!!

We are Pregnant!

Well can you believe it? I know we can't. It is simply amazing. We will be expecting our new bundle of joy in Feb. of 2008. Rob and I are still in a bit of shock. But we are just so so excited to start this phase of our life.

Life is good

Life is wonderful right now, I have no complaints. I had a interview for a job yesterday morning. It is still with the same company but this office I had the interview at is right down the road. I did well in the interview and figured I was going to have to wait all weekend to hear something. But I get to work and lo and behold about 45 minutes into my day I get a call and I am offered the job. Not only did I get the job but I got a raise. Wahoo!!!

Rob started a new job also this last week. He also got a raise and is doing more of what he loves to do. Also he is with one of his old buddies so there is always a funny story he has to tell me when he gets home.

Also I have been feeling wonderful. Other then this cold but anxiety wise I have been feeling great. My doctor is having me wean off my Zoloft and I am still on my Lexapro but hey it's one less medication to mess with my system. I am also reading 2 wonderful books. One is for me to learn more about myself. My fertility and how that all works. Rob and I are planning on trying to conceive in August. No reason for August other then that is 6 months of us being married. I am also reading a book just for fun I have a hard time putting it down. Jodi Picoulet is the author I think that's how you spell her name.

So I went shopping last night and today and have some new clothes for my new job. Then I come home from the mall and get the mail and find out that our work did so well that I am getting a bonus on 5-1-07. Granted it's only 1.83% of my 06 earnings but hey it's more money!!!

So life is good. I am happy and tonight I am going to go celebrate a friends birthday and get drunk off my ass. So it should all be good.

Better late than never

Well ladies and gentleman it has finally happened. The day finally came and went. My wedding day! It was great it was better then I could have even imagined. All the drama before hand all the stress all the throwing up it was all worth it. I married my soul mate and my best friend in the entire world. On Feb. 3rd of 2007 at 4pm I became Mrs Robert Schmahl. And I couldn't be happier.

For those of you that joined us on our special day. For those of you that didn't I'm sorry you missed it and I wish you could have come. I truly was so proud of myself the day before and the day of the wedding. I had zero anxiety and zero panic attacks. For those of you that know me and my anxiety you know this is a great thing for me. And for any of you that suffer from Anxiety Disorder you also know how wonderful it is to overcome something so big.

So anyways the wedding went great the honeymoon was spectacular and we could have used another week on the ship but all great things must come to an end. Well the honeymoon that is. We had to come back to reality. Well coming back to the "real" world after such a wonderful trip was a really big bite in the ass. Granted we got to come home to a home that was all ours with no roommate and come home to our Lola and presents going back to work sucked!!!!

Sick

Ugh I hate being sick. My head feels as if it is going to explode. My eyes feel as if they are going to pop out of my head. There is just so much pressure. Medicine is just NOT working.

I did have one awesome weekend though. Friday night I drove to my girls house and we got together with her sister and one of her coworkers and watched the first season of Prision Break

Saturday Rob and I took Lola to get her hair cut and she came home looking beautiful. We went to Rob's dad's house to celebrate his birthday. We got home around 7ish and got the yard ready for Sunday's festivities. We had a "Bring your mom bbq" it was a blast. Since my mom is in another state I had my brother and his family come. It was great. I had such and blast. Only thing that sucked was the bees. They seriously came out of no where.

Today I went into work and well a gal that I work with who has been in a lot of pain is going to be getting a hysterectomy on Thurs. But is on orders not to work because she is in so much pain she can't even walk. I really hope this surgery helps her and she is able to get back into work. I really don't like working her hours.

We are coming along with our Wedding plans. Got about 5 months and some odd days to go. We have our photographer set up. We will be meeting with our officiant in Oct. we just need to set up things with the hall, get a cake place and set that up, and get the guy's tuxes and the flower and junior brides maids dresses. There is a lot of little things to do but most of the big stuff is out of the way.

Rob is home!!!!!

Oh my gosh I am so happy. My Robbie came home today. He got home from a 2 week tour today. As happy as I am that he had a good time and got to promote and see a bunch of new places and new people I am so happy to have him home. If we were rich and I didn't have to work I for sure would have gone with but we aren't rich and I do have to work and take care of our home and Lola. So yeah he is so happy to be home and just keeps telling me so many stories of things they saw and conversations they had and so forth.

So now the wedding planning begins. We really need to find a photographer and a cake place. A huge part of me just wants to say screw it all, let's go to Vegas. And we would but I already have my dress and I know that is really what we want in the long run. When we look back on that day 50 years from now we will be happy that we did end up doing it that way.

So this weekend Rob has a show in IL but it's only for the night but such a long fuckin drive for one show for one night. But for me I'm excited because I am going to go see my ma in WI for the weekend. So I will be laying out on the pontoon on the lake enjoying a drink while he's driving. Oh well that's the life of a musician. So yeah besides that not much is going on. Rob and I are just enjoying being back in eachothers arms once again. He is so fucking cute! He just keeps coming up and grabbing me and giving me kisses.

Well I gotta go spend more time with my man, if you know what I mean!

The date is set....

Well the date is set for the wedding. SATURDAY FEBRUARY 3RD. I am so damn excited, of course as soon as I started typing this my battery is going low for my laptop. Damn. So yeah I will have to finish this one up later. Dog chewed up the adapter cord. Damn dog.
