Olives **
I’m fucking addicted to them lately. I just can’t stop eating them! I don’t even like them that much but they’re so fucking addicting. The green ones, not the black ones. The black ones are fucking nasty!
I don’t think John fully understands that we kicked him out. Every day I go downstairs and say "You gonna start packing and cleaning to move out?" and he’ll say yes but he never does anything. I don’t really think he knows that he HAS to leave before Adam and I leave for Michigan. We’re leaving the 30th (I hope) maybe that 31st and we’ll be returning April 4th. I’m looking forward to it but at the same time I know when I get there I’m going to be reminded of why we left in the first place.
I’m not at all looking forward to seeing my in-laws. I posted on our married FB that we’re planning on moving soon and Denise, Adam’s mom, was like HOPEFULLY MOVING BACK TO MICHIGAN! I just shook my head and ruined her day by telling them no. Adam already told her that we’re moving to Christiansburg. She can’t remember shit and I dont think she understands that even if the economy in Michigan gets better, we’re not moving back to Michigan–ever.
We want a life of our own. We want to start our own life in our own place. Something that just belongs to us. We dont want to share all of that with our families. We want them to be a part of our lives; but we don’t want to be part of THEIRS if that makes sense. We want our own.
Adam and I finally talked about having children. I think he’s warming up to the idea soon. He said I have to quit smoking first, which is completely fine with me because I’m willing to give all that up for a child. I want a child so bad and I think things between Adam and I would get better when we do. It’ll bring us closer together.
Anyway, that’s my little update.
Still reading all your entries, it’s gonna take some time!
—–EDIT—–
Things between Adam and I are fine now. We have a couple outside influences that cause tension such as our home being too crowded with inconsiderate jerks (which has been taken care of). I’m not saying that having a child is going to be a picnic, but Adam and are fine and it will add to our FAMILY.
Ummm believe me sweetheart, having a child does NOT make things better, at least not in the beginning. You’re miserable, exhausted, sleep-deprived, at your wit’s end, and scared shitless in the middle of all that. You nitpick at each other, bark, fight, cry, scream, slam doors, everything. No matter how much you fought before you WILL fight loads when you first have a baby. You want your relationship to be at the point where you’re like wow everything is 99% perfect and NOW we have the baby. Sorry to lecture you but I don’t want to say I told you so in nine months.

I agree that a baby is something that’s hard but, it’s a wonderful blessing. I hope that when you and Adam do have a baby it’s everything you want and more! I’ve been eating a TON of green olives too. Weird huh?

ha! i’m the exact opposite with olives. i could eat black olives all day long and just the smell of the green ones makes my stomach turn. they’re WAAAYYY too salty for me. lol. i’m glad you guys are keeping your distance from your families. you don’t need anyone elses drama. but having a baby might want you to be closer to family. i know i was that way when i had my boys. i typically don’t want to be close to family at all but i wanted my boys to be close and know their family. but adam is coming around! yay! 🙂

totally agree with you on wanting a life of your own. I’m the same, you want family to be part of your life but not so close that they’re constantly interfering and trying to control it. don’t want the curse of the evil in-laws!:p ryn: someone else noted me saying they have the same problem, maybe cleavage is actually an unrealistic beauty standard rather than the norm? I wouldn’t be surprised!

I think you have got the whole olive thing backwards. Say it with me, black olives good, green olives bad. Keep saying it and you’ll be ok. Oh and on a more serious note, make sure things with you and Adam are good before you bring a baby into the world. You guys have been through a lot and I’m sure you would be great parents.

Hmm… I’ve only had black ones, no green ones!
