My Favorite Man

Can I just say that I am sooo in love with my husband. I've never loved like this before or felt loved like this before. Being married is one of the most fun things ever.

I'm so happy.

The dreadful "quiet" person - Me

I am more of a quiet person by nature. I used to wish I was louder, talked more and was more "the life of the party" kind of person. But I'm not. And I've become very o.k. and comfortable with the quiet person that I am.

Yet, what I've been realizing is that my quiet makes some people very uncomfortable.

I can be at dinner with a few serious hard core talkers - who go back and forth, back and forth (sometimes I wonder how they eat, breath and are able to talk so much) and then they will out of no where - usually mid sentence say "my, your being awfully quiet" I usually just smile cause what do you say to a comment like that.

Or the other day I literally had just walked into a room and a woman said "Oh Anne! - you are so quiet." And I wonder if I should of walked through the doorway waving my hands and having a conversation with myself.

I often get weird comments like these and it used to drive me crazy because I felt like I was being misunderstood. I am often more relaxed and quiet, just listening or maybe I don't have anything to say but I am not mute. I love to talk and laugh - I do it everyday. And trust me I can be quite loud and obnoxious at times, ask my husband :)

I think what I've come down to is that the quiet makes many people uncomfortable - therefore sometimes some people say these nervous comments. Yet I am very comfortable and peaceful in the quiet. So I am thankful for that. Yet, it could also be a challenge to me to get out of my comfortable quite place sometimes and talk more.

Being a CNA

I'm a nursing assistant and I love it. It's hard work for sure. By the end of my twelve hour day my feet and legs are throbbing, I feel disgusting and sometimes pass out on the couch at 7:30 but it's worth it. I love being with the patients.

Some people say they could never do this job because part of the job is cleaning up dirty stuff, bathing and helping people go to the bathroom. But I think good greif, what's the big deal? These are all valuable human beings. Why wouldn't you want to help someone out? It's a pleasure to help.

To say the least, it's nice to like this job so much. It's great to feel fulfilled when I come home. I finally feel like I'm headed in the right direction.

This is the beginning of my blog. Pretty exciting.
And I really like this picture.
