Heeeeeyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
So this week was a lot better compared to the last one for several reasons.
Numero Uno) My friend drama was resolved thankfully. He ended up apologizing and things are good now. Everything is back to the way it was, which is great.
So that really made things significantly better. :)
Numero Dos) This is probably the most exciting news. Josh and I got a place in Arizona! It's an off base military owned apartment. It's a two bedroom apartment. I can't wait to see it. I have 3 pictures that Josh took of the bedroom, the bathroom, and the kitchen. Everything looks really nice. I'm suuuuppppppppperrrrrrr excited. I still have no idea when I'm moving out there. But it's a step.
Hopefully I'll get to put my two weeks in soon. I'm very much looking forward to that.
A lot a people have died this week. Ed McMahon, Farrah Fawcett, Michael Jackson... really random and sad. However, as sad as it is I'm not looking forward to the next 2 months of news reports and tributes. Juuuuuuuuuust saying.
I'm not really in the mood to write a lot tonight. I think I'm going to go crash. Mmyup sounds good.
Nighty night

...What can yah do?...
Herrrrrroooooooooooooo
Well it would seem from all my previous posts that Thursday blogs are the new unintentional trend. So I decided to be rebellious and write on Friday. Ooooo yeaaaaah feels as dangerous and fun as skipping class, which I never did of course ;). Haha no. I actually was planning on writing something up last night, but obviously that didn't end up happening due to the ADD.
This week has definitely been a valley on the roller coaster of life. And by that I mean... complete and utter suckage on just about every level. I suppose I'll go with the bad stuff, good stuff approach. End things on a good note.
Due to a series of events I lost a friend this week, their choice. This person decided to blame the way things happened on me instead of looking at the situation for what it was. Honestly, I had no real control over anything that happened, but according to some I did. Apparently if I had acted like a "real friend" my input would have changed everything. I guess I'm fine being this persons scapegoat, giving them someone to blame instead of themselves and the people actually involved in what happened. It's just interesting how someone you spent so much time and did so much for can just turn around and throw you to the curb.
But that's just life for you. Everything happens for a reason right? ...right...?
So that's what I've been dealing with this week. Not fun at all. But I'm dealing and spending time with people who actually appreciate me and don't see me a person to dump their baggage on. Which brings me to the good stuff.
Earlier this week, Joshua feel off a jet onto his back. Yes this is a bad thing, but he's ok. He didn't break anything which is awesome. He just has some back pain, which is understandable. So I dub that a good thing, possible bad situation turned ok.
In other good news, Josh should be finding out about housing hopefully Monday, maybe sooner. The timeline is between Wednesday and Monday. So that is exciting. Also, he mentioned that he might be able to get 10 days leave to come up here, help me pack, and then drive our stuff down. I'd like that a lot more than dealing with the moving part all by myself. Hopefully I'll know soon because I'm growing very tired of "single married life."
I need to get up and be productive. I'm going to start on my thank you cards today I think. I can't believe it's been almost a month since the wedding. It doesn't feel like that long ago. Weeeeeirdddddd.
But anyways. I'm going to go figure out sometime to do with my life. I've got lyrics in my head so maybe I'll write a song? I dunno.
Adios!

Waaaitttttttiiiiiiinnnnggggggggg
Impatient is definitely a word that could be used to described me today.
That along with:
Irritated
Tired
Hungry
Grumpy
Lazy
Frustrated
Bored
Generally blaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
I'm tired of not knowing when events in my life can/are going to happen. Everything is up in the air at this point and it's driving me crazy. No more "I don't know"s; I want answers.
I can't wait to quit my job. I have more than my fill of making overpriced lattes and chills for the rich-and-snobby, who seem to assume their drink order is my highest priority in life. Not so much. I'd have loved to quit right after the wedding but unfortunately I need money. So I'm stuck in Coffeeland until I hear otherwise.
In other news, I have two open houses to go to this weekend which should be fun. My cousin's on Friday and my new sister-in-law's in on Sunday. I was gunna try and be creative with my presents, but I'm not so sure about that at this point. But I don't really think anyone would be disappointed with cash.
Alright well to stop this aggravated blog from continuing I'm going to go scrounge the kitchen for something to eat. Shoving face tends to make a grumpy Amber a lot more pleasant to deal with.
Seee yahhhh laterrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Yet another late night update
Hey there, hi, there, ho there!
So many things have changed in my life since my last blog-a-ma-jigger.
Unfortunately, the time in which I create entries is not one of them. That will change too.
Hopefully.
Maybe.
Ok probably not, but for all intensive purposes I'll pretend like I will someday become a normal member of society that goes to bed at a reasonable hour. A girl can dream, right?
Back to changes.
Biggest and most important change:
I GOT MARRIED :)
Yes indeedy. Joshua and I "tied the knot"* on Saturday, May 23rd.
(*Quick side note: I really don't like this saying what-so-ever. Upon thesaurusing, I found some interesting synonyms such as "conjugate", "drop anchor", "plight ones troth", and "yoke." At least I found them amusing)
Everything was as beautiful and amazing as I ever hoped or dreamed it could be. There were no major issues or mishaps that occurred that day, which was very reliving and surprising as well. I'm so happy with the way everything came to be. I can definitely say that it was worth all the stress and anxiety that came about.
Ben and Alex sang during the ceremony and at the reception. They sounded incredible. It was completely last minute, which is my fault, but they still did it. They have no idea how much I appreciate and love them for it.
The support I received was wonderful and sometimes came from the most unexpected places. My mom was truly my biggest help and guide throughout this entire process. Without her I would've been completely lost. I owe her so much for all her time and effort with getting everything put into place. She made my and my bridesmaids bouquets along with all the boutonnieres for the groomsmen and grandparents. She gladly helped me with anything and everything I asked her. I am truly blessed to have such an awesome, caring, and loving person as my mother.
For our honeymoon, Josh and I went up to Mackinaw City for 5 days. The hotel we stayed in was right on the lake shore with the bridge and island in perfect view, very picturesque in my opinion. There were a couple nice days and a couple of cold, rainy, generally "blucky" days. On the nights that were nice we had fires and roasted marshmallows. We also went to Mackinaw Island and up to Sault Ste. Marie on two separate days. The weather was less than desirable so we didn't get to do everything we had hoped, but it was still fun just being able to spend time together.
It's weird to be married.
Not in a bad way, but just strange I suppose.
Addressing Josh as my husband. Saying my last name as Boyce. It's just foreign and is definitely going to take some getting used to.
Him being gone again is also weird. I mean it's not like I wasn't expecting it or anything, I'm all but too aware of how this all works. It was like BOOM marriage, short time together, then back to "normal" life. I'll be seeing him soon enough though since I am set to move out to Arizona sometime in the next month or so. Which brings me to my next change...
MOVING.
Yes indeed. In some amount of time I will be moving to Yuma, Arizona aka the sunniest city in the USA aka desertville.
The sun and me are definitely not compatible at all. I am a perfect example of a fair skinned, blond hair, blue eye type. Any long term exposure to direct sunlight directly results in my transformation for paleish pinky white to lobster red. I cannot tan and I'm almost certain that it is impossible for me to do so. Due to this fact, I like to avoid direct sunlight as much as possible. Achievable in theory, at least in Michigan. However, I am not so confident that this is going to happen in a place with no clouds or trees to block out my frenemy Mr. Sun. I plan on stocking up on many bottles of sunscreen SPF 100000000. Summer is definitely going to be miserable with 100+ weather, but at least winter will be nice. NO SNOW, which is a definite plus.
Coming back from my random weather tangent... moving is going to be interesting. It will be nice to be with Josh and start our life and house together as a new family. We plan on getting a puppy, which I am especially excited about.
What I really dislike the most about leaving is being so far away from all my family and friends. I've always lived in Michigan and essentially in the same town. I can only imagine how hard it's going to be to transport myself across the country to a completely new environment and leaving my support system behind me. Not that Josh isn't a major source of support in my life because he is. But leaving everyone here is not going to be fun or enjoyable. My family is so close and we all genuinely love and care for each other, "full blood" or not. But I cannot help fearing that me leaving will cause my own alienation and detachment from my parents, brothers, sisters, nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, cousins, grandparents, etc. Anyone that knows me well is aware of my fear of being forgotten and replaced. I honestly do not know how I'm going to react to all of this once I'm out there. How does one deal with the thought or question if their presence will be missed at holidays or get togethers? Or the haunting thought that new or young family members will not even being aware of your existence causing a distance between that person and yourself forever due to the fact you missed out on vital parts of their early years.
I'm not the first person to deal with these feelings and fears, obviously. I know I'll adapt, but it's not going to be easy. Thank god I'll have Josh there to comfort and support me. I'm going to need it.
So yeah, those are the major changes that have taken place/are going to take place in my life.
On a much less important note I got my hairs cut yesterday and I love it. Generally after I get a hair cut I end up missing my long hair and regretting getting it cut. This time is different for whatever reason. It's shorter and lighter (not in color). It's perfect for the upcoming hot summer days, which hopefully arrive soon because I'm tired of 60's.
Alright well I've unintentionally turned this blog into novel. If you stuck through and read all of my blabber you've earned a cookie and a gold star for the day. I apologize for any errors in my writing, it's almost 5 now, and my brain is less than fully functional.
Now it's time to try to fall asleep because I really will feel guilty if I sleep all day tomorrow.
Good night
