Jake and I have been married for 4 years today! Holy crap! And due to Ryan's recent arrival, I barely remembered that today was our anniversary. I doubt very much that it's even on Jake's radar. That's okay. He'll feel guilty.
Ryan is very awake this morning...
I can't believe that it's been 4 years. Seems long and short, like always. I'm already making plans for 5 years next year, when Ryan is 1 and can handle a weekend with Grandma and Grandpa while Mom and Dad maybe take a weekend trip somewhere fun. We'll, I'm dreaming of doing that anyway. Making plans might be stretching it.
I'm trying to think of something simple to get Jake today, but I don't know if anything will come to me. Once mom gets here this morning and I get a nap in, I'll probably take an hour and run over to Target and then to the grocery store by myself. And it will probably be amazing. But, I should probably make sure that Ryan has something to eat while I'm gone. Just in case he freaks out hungry while I'm out.
I wish I had more to say on this day about marriage and all that, but my mind is totally destroyed by baby stuff. And by baby stuff, I mean, lack of sleep. Being married is good. The first year in the hardest (especially if you haven't lived together before) and after you get past that first year, things seem to get easier, IMO. But, Jake and I lived through the most ridiculous first year any couple could have probably have. So, after that, everything seems easier, no matter what, because it's not as bad as Fall 2005 through Spring 2006.
I'd really like to go to upper Michigan next year. I've never been up that way, and it looks pretty good. Plus, they have cherries. :)

I'll update here too!
So, I did get a good chunk of wedding invites done before Ryan arrived. I have the invite part glued into the fold-y part and glued the jewel decorations on each. I also printed out the enclosure tops and the RSVP card and all of that is stamped.
I just need to wait until June to get the final information for the invites and finish printing and getting them together. Which is good, because I don't think that I would have been able to do this, if it would have been needed to be finished sooner that the beginning of July.
My STD insurance is odd, but they are paying me. I'm just not sure for how much -- probably four weeks and then 3 prorated days, it seems. They said I'm approved from May 25th to June 24th. Which is like four full working weeks, plus a day or two. We'll see what I get paid for.
I guess I don't get my first check until the 15th of June, except I'm pretty sure that the note said my first check was being sent on June 5th, so who knows! It's all a mystery. But, if you managed to go three weeks overdue on this insurance, you would be paid for a lot longer. Today is the last day of my 21 day elimination period, which is why I start getting paid Monday. However, since I didn't give birth until May 13th, there's extra play in the numbers, seemingly. Like I said, we'll see what happens.
So, when I was home Wednesday (the 13th) with my early labor pains, our neighbor's garage was broken into and I heard the assholes doing it -- I just thought it was our neighbor messing around, since it was right around the time he usually leaves. I did ask Jake about his door and Jake did go shut it before he left for work that day and managed to scare whoever was stealing stuff, but they still got away with a ton. I felt really badly about it -- any other day and I would have been all over that like stink on a monkey. Sigh.
Okay, I really need to get a move on the day and then probably take a nap.

Time off from work is good
I like being home. I wish I could be home all the time. That would be sweet. My mom and Jake are not going to want to do that trade off thing forever, so maybe it's worth the investment to try and have me stay home for him (and whatever other children may come along).
I am thinking of maybe taking courses in medical transcription and doing that from home part time, for extra money. And maybe, if it was worth it, working full time at home.
I would like to find a job that I'm not an independent contractor for, like my mom. That's too much. I would want a job where I was an employee.
But, we'll see. The program I found online that a girl I knew from college did (which I should ask her about) is $3000 and comes with a free lappy, which would be sweet. I certainly couldn't use my Mac, but if I was doing that sort of thing, I would want a separate lappy anyway.
The one my Mom did is $3800 and does not feature a free lappy. But, her program was very good and very hard.
So, I'm just not sure. I feel like maybe I should just do traditional classes for that sort of thing too. IDK. Just something I'm thinking about while I'm at home. Maybe I'll go do some more research right meow.
Got nothing better to do.
UPS tried to deliver the rest of Brooke's wedding invite stuff, but we were at the doctor. They will try again tomorrow, but I am thinking of just going to pick it up tonight. Better to have it in hand, since this is the biggest part of the order.
Okay, off to do more things.
