Are we done yet?

This has been one hell of a week.

It started with getting a phone call on Monday to tell me my court hearing had been cancelled... again. The hearing was suppose to be about putting a diversion on the girl's (the one that hit me in September) duii. The reason why they cancelled? Because her attorney wanted to call and offer me money so the charges can be dropped. The next day on Tuesday her attorney called me. I didn't talk to him nor do I intend to talk to him EVER.

I'm really getting tired of this. They have prolonged this process as much as possible and it is causing me much stress and anxiety. This whole wonderful justice system people talk about it, sucks. 3 months later and I'm still dealing with all this. Because they have money and a family attorney they are trying to do whatever they can to make the charges go away. Because they have money they think they can buy their way out of things. Had they not had any money, guarantee this problem would have been resolved already.

I can tell you now I will not settle! I don't care what they have to offer, this girl needs to take the consequences for her actions. I think its ridiculous that there are options for people to prolong the process and fight the system when they clearly in the wrong. During this whole process she still has her drivers license, giving her another chance to drive under the influence. Her parents don't care and in fact feel sorry for their daughter that she has to go through this whole ordeal. She hasn't learned anything from this and she needs to. The next court date is in January. I really hope this gets resolved soon.

Wordless Wednesday: Christmas wonderland!

Last night we got our Christmas tree, put up our Christmas lights and the rest of the decorations. I love this time year, and feel that I'm seriously living in a Christmas wonderland!!

Yes that is Tyrel, wearing our stockings as socks. He liked them because they jiggled...

I sensed you

So the last couple of nights I haven't been sleeping very well. I'm tired, but my body just wont settle down. And even when I did finally go to sleep, I never stayed asleep. I would wake up probably every hour or so.

The reason? (or what I feel is the reason)
On Sundays, Mondays, and every other Tuesday Tyrel drives a taxi from 7pm to 7am. So that means I'm in a bed by myself 2-3 nights a week. I know I shouldn't let that effect my sleep habits but when you are madly in love with your best friend, it's hard to be away from that person

Last night however Tyrel didn't have to drive the taxi and came to bed like he normally does. Last night I slept like a baby. Does nobody else see a pattern here? I was able to fall asleep really easily also because when my head hit my pillow I took in a huge sniff and it smelled like Tyrel! (He had sprayed axe on it before leaving for work.) For some reason that scent gave me comfort and I was able to fall asleep with ease. From now on, that is going to be my thing on nights that I can't sleep well.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Oh what a wonderful Thanksgiving it was. I started the day with going to Tyrel's grannys house. The food was delicious and the company was nice. Afterwards we headed home to my parents house to have dinner. It wasn't a full house like it usually is. My grandparents weren't able to come this year because there was an unfortunate death so they are on their way to a funeral. Maredith wasn't able to make it either because he up in Portland with her dad. But it was still fun. After dinner we played Mad Gab. Never played before and of course my mom's team kicked our butts.

Afterwards Tyrel and I participated in black Friday for the first time.

We didn't really know what to expect so we left at about 10:30pm to head to best buy. We arrived at about 11:15pm and discovered a HUGE line. It wrapped clear around the building and down the street! We finally found the end of the line about 100 meters away from the building.

It was cold and Tyrel almost got ran over by an old man but midnight came around and we got right in. Total mad house. People everywhere. And packed wall to wall. Luckily we knew exactly what we were looking for: A brand new tv! 3 hours, 2 bathroom breaks and 1 LONG line later, we get our tv packed into the back of the car!

We still had a long drive home and even though it was 2:15 in the morning I was wide awake as we hauled it in the house.

One hour later we had it all set and ready to go! It is huge and awesome! Be jealous :)

Who feels accomplished? THIS girl does!

After 2 and 1/2 months of treatment with the chiropractor and rehab, I finally had my last appointment on Monday. And on Tuesday my doctor cleared me of all my injuries and closed the case.

It feels nice to be pain free. I'm able to go back to my regular lifestyle and get back to my usual activities. I felt relieved to be done with the treatment and finally have my life back. I once again have free time after work and not have it be consumed with stressed and appointments. Now if I can be done with dealing with insurance and the court cases, then things can go back to normal.

Oh the best part about finishing up with treatment? I get a cool t-shirt. Which I wore with pride

A sappy love entry

The title should say it all. You've been warned :)

Even though Tyrel isn't smiling, I absolutely love this picture. It shows his true personality and how happy I am being with him. He makes me so happy. He is always there to make me in a better mood, he's a wonderful shoulder to cry on, he is my soul mate and I love him. He is perfect in every way. Ok nobody is perfect, but he's close enough to it. Here's to a year and 5 months, and look forward to many more
