month ever.
9:15 PM, Sunday, December 28th, 2014:
 
No, seriously. Are we here? Did we make it? That's about how out of my head I am right now.
 
Apparently the stress of thinking I had bought at best a vehicle owned by someone else and at worst, a stolen vehicle had thrown me into a flu like sick that has zapped every ounce of energy from my body. All at a time when I'm in a race to finish The Journey for the year, start the new year... ugh. This is the crazy time for me. Thankfully it looks like I'll make it. Here it is, our anniversary, and I was able to drag myself out of bed to at least continue our tradition of eating somewhere we've never been on our anniversary. Hell, if we could pull it off last year (literally the day we brought Cameron home from the hospital), being sick should be the least of our concerns:
 
 
How cute is that fucker when he hears music?!?!?! GODDDDAMNIT THAT'S ADORABLE. Ahem, sorry.
 
So yeah, that's the feeling as we get to this moment: "Are we alive?". And I will get into that in greater detail in the final entry on the 31st... but yeah, just surviving this year has been so tough - then add in everything I tried to accomplish? Fuck. Exhausted. It's no wonder I'm sick as hell. Throw-in the absolute "party" atmosphere of eating bad food in November and December - I am genuinely excited about feeling better, running, eating less and weighing less. It's a cycle I've fallen in love with and seemingly the only thing that works. I have to let myself go a bit to start it back up. By March Madness at the end of March? I'll be in great shape. After Halloween next year?  I will relax and get fat again. <shrugs> Sure beats going years without ever being in shape.
 
But alas, it is our anniversary. 4 years ago today I hit "in a relationship" with Talya and 3 years ago today we were married. It's ridiculous we've been married only 3 years and have a 2 year old and a 1 year old, but we have and we do. I really look forward to those two little fuckers being able to sleep in the same room at some point and having our house back, though part of me thinks I'm going to have to build the addition so they can have 2 separate rooms. Cam just wakes up too often and hollers for a few minutes. For the 2 days they were in the same room Vienna heard that, she screamed then Cam REALLY screamed. Cam just doesn't sleep through the night like Vienna does. He may not. Oh well. It is what it is.
 
We're to a good point though. We know we've weathered quite a storm. When you start the year with a 15 month old and a 1 week old... you're in for some shit. We're here. We had a nice anniversary, and we're both looking forward to a bit more of a routine in the coming months.
 
Love you hon. :-)
