Mrs. PorkChop

Hi! Mrs. PorkChop here. Yes, I married that sweet man on September 14th. Best decision I ever made in my life! We have had our ups and downs. His job keeps lying to him, which makes him make lots and lots of promises he can't keep. And he cancels plans a lot....but he's here with me, every day. He's all mine, forever. And I'm pretty darned proud to be his wifey. It's almost time til the season is over, and after him working 14 hrs a day 6 days a week, I am REALLY REALLY READY! I miss him lots. I love him even more than I miss him though.

Bethy has become a rotten lil snot, but I love her as well haha. She's a very strong minded defiant little one, thats for sure! Michael is his normal calm self, comes over once in a while, but always has to ask 'is Porkchop there?' before he'll set foot on the property. Needless to say the answer is 'NO' more than yes, which makes for a lot of "Aww MAN's" from my lil fella. Mikey misses Tommy almost as much as I do I guess.

Halloween was fun. I had a little witch and a little transformer robot to tote around. They had fun at COTC Trunk or Treat. Even won a goldfish to put in the fish tank. It was also kinda a sad time, because Hickory passed away one week, then the next, Papaw Gary was 'taken away to live with the angels'. What a hard time, very hard to explain everything to little minds. Bethy wants the angels to bring him back right this instant.

I've been exploring my spirituality. I really feel like I am not where I am supposed to be. I want a closer relationship with God, and with my husband. I want to be the kind of wife that God intended a woman to be for a man. I'm trying. Failing miserably at the moment, but trying. My patience wears VERY thin with Tommy and his job. It's ridiculous the things that he puts up with. I just pray for understanding and patience every day. So far, my prayers have only hit the ceiling. But hopefully...I just don't see them sneaking out and they are being answered, just slowly. Either way, I am trying to choose to practice love and patience. That's where the LOVE DARE comes in. I am thinking about trying that. I might learn something!

Update 7/17/09

Tommy and I are doing well. We are getting married in September, on the 14th. I've been ill a lot lately..first with my kidneys, then my periods and my back, now my hips are out with my back. It's hard to walk, sit, stand, lay down..everything. Moving at all is just hard. Even sitting here typing this hurts. Tommy has a really bad sinus infection that has sent his sugar up sky high. He had his two off days on Monday and Tuesday, and had to take Wednesday and Thursday off as well because he's so sick. His shoulder is still bothering him since he dislocated it. He's always hurting. His groin hurts where he had surgery, too. My poor feller, he's so strong. I'd probably just lay down and cry. He makes sure I'm always happy, no matter how he feels. July 4th was fun, other than the fact that Tommy didn't get to come home from work til the fireworks were over. We celebrated my birthday together, and went shopping. Just having him with me was the best gift I could have ever gotten. He is such a good man. The good Lord sent me a great wonderful and awesome one to make up for all the pieces of crap that got sent my way before. I can't wait until September. I'm so excited to be Mrs. Amy Pruitt. I never thought I would get married again. In fact, I swore that I wouldn't, because I had never met a man that would treat me right, understand me, and be there for me no matter what. I found one in Tommy...so I rethought my claim of never being married again and here I am. He loves me, loves my kids, and treats us all like we are his #1's. He works hard and I know he does it for us. He's perfection at it's best. He and I are so much alike it's unreal, and he says that I am him with boobs. :) Bethy is growing fast, she'll be 3 on Aug 6. Shes going to see her dad every Monday and Tuesday. When she comes back home she is so hyper, mean and unlike herself that I don't know what to do with her. She doesn't sleep well after she comes back and usually it takes her about 2 days to get back to being my normal sweet baby girl. What is a parent to do in a situation like that? Anyway, Mikey is growing too. He's such a smart lil man it's unreal. I'm very blessed with such awesome kids. Mikey doesn't come home as much now that Porkchop is working all the time. He misses him something terrible. Well..starting to hurt sitting here..I'll post more later!

It's gonna be okay

Tommy came into my life on March 30, 2009. I've been smiling every day since then. Wow that man is awesome. The kids love him, I love him, and we're already talking marriage. I know he's the one I want to be with for the rest of my life. He 'gets' me. He knows how to handle me. He respects me and loves me and treats me like I'm his everything. He's gone to the first day of his new job today. It's exciting because he's happy and I'm happy, and I don't have to worry about him as much as I did when he was driving a dump truck. Everythings going to be okay. Better than okay. Because I know that someone is watching over us. :) Thats all I have for now. Not a lot of time for computer when I'm trying to clean the house up before he gets home...Anyway...LIFE IS GOOD!
