Locked Out!

So a couple of days ago Aaron and I had a really funny experience. I got home from work around noon (another 5am shift!) and Aaron was home! That was a nice surprise! :) He had come home to let the dog out on his lunch break because I wasn't supposed to get home until about 2pm, but we finished inventorying Kohl's a little early. So anyway, Quincy had already eaten and everything so I went ahead and took him out one more time and Aaron followed me out the door to go back to work. Then I headed back into the apartment...only find the door LOCKED! Out of habit, Aaron had locked it behind him. I had been on my feet since 5am and I was tired. I was still wearing my work clothes, badge and belt included, but of course I had set down my keys and my gloves inside. I turned around just in time to see Aaron drive off. So... I was totally locked out in the snow with the dog. I wanted to be frustrated, but I could only laugh. It was a pretty funny situation! So I walked a couple blocks over to my friend and visiting teacher's house. I called Aaron and told him what happened. He not only came back immediately, but picked me up at my friend's house so that I wouldn't have to walk back and wait for him in the cold. I have such a good husband! :) So that was our entertainment for the day, haha.
Ok I have to take a second to brag a little... last night I made my homemade Portuguese soup and I made homemade bread for the first time!!! The apartment smelled so good and dinner was so tasty :)

Five Months Today!

Well as of today Aaron and I have been married for five months. Sometimes it seems longer than that, and other times it seems like we got married yesterday! We're still figuring each other out and figuring our future out as well. We're trying to decide if we should buy a house and that and taking care of Quincy have been the dominant topics of our conversation lately. It will be nice when we have a better idea of what the next few years will look like! I feel like we're kind of in limbo right now. So just FYI, Angels Brought Me Here is a really great song and definitely the perfect song from me to Aaron. I really love it. :)
There's a really good chance that my family will move here this summer and I'm REALLY hoping that happens!! I miss them so badly. I think this is the longest I've ever gone without going home to visit. Modern communication is my favorite blessing lately since I can keep in touch with all my brothers and my parents and sister all the time. Those Andrus people are my best friends :)

Janae is sick and Aaron gets stuck with needles

Well I woke up this morning a little before 5am and got all ready for work. I had my belt and badge and everything, but before I could get my shoes on, I got really nauseous and had to run to the bathroom. This repeated itself twice before I could get out the door, so I called my team leader and asked how badly they needed people. He said they were fine and I should just come back in next week. So I did some homework for an hour and then crashed back into bed until noon. Aaron is working from home today because he got cavities filled this morning and needed to get immunizations this afternoon (he's getting stuck with all kinds of needles today!). He came in to tell me he was leaving and that the dog needed to be fed. So I got up and took the dog outside and fed him and took him outside again. Of course, the resident manager walked by and played with the puppy and asked me what apartment I was in. I heard myself telling her our apartment number before I could think of a way to avoid saying it. (We haven't paid our pet deposit...) So that stunk. I've spent the last hour or so thinking of different things I could've said or done to avoid the question.... Too late. :(
So then Quincy decided it was playtime instead of potty time and I tried taking him out four different times, but he didn't seem to the need the trip even though he just ate, so I've stopped the treks down the stairs and now he's napping in his crate and I'm blogging before I start more homework.
Being sick is pretty miserable. My stomach is really hurting and this nausea won't leave me alone. So I should probably be on the BRAT diet that my mom taught me: Bread, Rice, Applesauce and Toast...well I did have one piece of dry toast this morning, but I'm about to have a sweet potato with butter and pepper for lunch (best meal EVER). Sorry mom! It's so yummy...I can't help myself... :)
Oh I feel that I should clarify...I'm not pregnant! Sorry to raise any hopes with my sickness story :) Ok, time to prep for my midterms.
