Almost Six Months

Jeff and I have been married for almost six months now (six months exactly tomorrow), and my experience today in comparison with my experience after we'd been married only a month is like night and day. I think we have gotten a better understanding of each other, what our own little quirks are and what our specific BIG needs are as well. We have kind of settled into this comfortable routine and I am really enjoying being a newlywed. Jeff continues to be the most amazing and wonderful man in the universe - so kind, so gentle, so loving, so caring, so selfless, so perfect. Everyday I ask myself what I did to deserve such a wonderful husband, and he is so humble, he says that HE is the lucky one (HA!). Him - having to live with a stubborn, selfish, jealous, impatient, and all around slacker, he thinks he is the lucky one. Ah, my darling, if you could only see yourself through my eyes. If you could only see how wonderful and perfect you are to me. I love you.

Oh! Here are the important things I should say specifically about today (and one thing about yesterday).
1. The company I had an interview with yesterday called this morning and asked me to send over my references. (Yay! I know it's not an offer, but at least that means they're interested.)
2. My dad has had his first week of chemotherapy and radiation and says that he feels fine - no different so far. He had to spend all day at the doctor's office yesterday getting the week-long dose of chemotherapy hooked up and a 4-hour iron treatment, so he was bummed that he had to spend one of his days off doing medical stuff, but otherwise is in good spirits.
3. Yesterday I went to Old Navy and found the ONE (1) pair of jeans that they had in my exact right size in the entire store, which of course did not have a tag on it, so I headed to the register and the lady at the counter said "Oh, that's cause it is from online, how does $12.99 sound?" I was ecstatic! If I were to order the same jeans online they would have cost me $39.50 plus $5.00 shipping. I LOVE finding good deals!
4. Another good deal I found today - DSW Shoes. The shoes in the regular store are comparable in price to shoes at Famous Footwear, but they have a MUCH bigger selection. But the great deal is in the Clearance section in the back of the store where they have marked down last season's styles from 30-80% off the tagged price. For example, take a pair of shoes that last season cost $59.95. They are now marked $49.95 with a green sticker. A green sticker means 50% off, so the shoes now cost $24.98 + tax. (Yay! I LOVE shoes!)
5. Today is Friday, and it is 3:25 in the afternoon, that means that the weekend is starting in just about an hour and a half!

Loves!
