Vacation!!!!

I am so very excited that on Thursday Isaac, Meredith (my sister in law), Blake (my brother in law), and I will be going on a roadtrip/vacation to Dallas! It is a very much needed vacation as Isaac and I have been working so very much lately and haven't had any fun time in a while. It's also my last vacation before I start law school in 3 1/2 weeks! EEK!!! We aren't doing anything to special because we're what you call poor...but we're gonna go to the Dallas Zoo, and the Aquarium, and shopping, lots of shopping because it's my favorite thing to do. And we're gonna go out to eat and nice restaurants that we don't have in Lubbock, because what fun is it to eat at places you eat at everyday when you are on vacation? But anyway, Im so very excited to be getting out of town if only for a short time and will post pictures as soon as I can!

A Very Long Week...I need a "vacay"

So this week has been extremely long. Ok, since Thursday has been extremely long, and it's only saturday. And I don't mean the good long, I mean the everything has gone wrong within the last three days. Thursday started out with me getting yelled at by a customer for something I had no control over. Nothing I could do about it. Then lunch, then me getting yelled at by two more customers again for something I could do nothing about. Mainly it was just customers being stupid and incompetent. Fi

Lost in translation....

Have you ever felt so completely out of place that you didn't know how to resolve the situation? How about in your own family? Sometimes I feel as if I am so incredibly different than the Wimberley family and somehow I always feel as if it's my fault. That I am the one with the problem and need to change. But at the same time, I can't change. It's who I am, it's how I was raised, and to be different than who I am feels as if I would be lying to myself. I live with my husband whom I love with all of my heart. There are so many reasons that I love him and married him and chose to spend my entire life with him. My sister in law also lives with my husband and I and I love her to death too! It's just that when the three of us and her boyfriend all get together I feel like a complete outcast. I have a completely different sense of humor than the three of them, and I often get offended by some of the things they want to watch. I want my house to stay clean and she has yet to unpack after moving in over a month and a half ago. Sometimes I feel like they look at me as an outsider and don't respect my opinions or my requests. I know they weren't necessarily raised to be clean but is it too much to ask to put things away after you have used them, or to think that cleaning up what you use in the kitchen doesn't just mean filling them with water in the sink. Sometimes, I feel so out of place I just get unhappy and go to bed because it's not worth it for me to sit out there and feel like an idiot. I don't know what to do anymore to make it better. I guess I just got lost in translation....

Belated Honeymoon Bliss...

By belated I mean I'm way late in posting these pictures. In fact we still have a camera from our Honeymoon that has yet to be developed! We're such slackers. Anyway, these are some of my favorite pictures from our honey moon! It was amazing!



The Picture from inside the building...Im not sure why the picture is fuzzy though...


Another fuzzy view from the building.














Hanging out in our room before dinner during the big 4th of July celebration...That's right we celebrated the 4th of July in Jamaica!












Me being my true self, a complete goober at heart!












The newly weds! Aren't we cute??!?!?!

We Made It!!!

Well, today is it. Our one year anniversary. We made it, alive! I can't believe how wonderful it has been to be married to Isaac this past year. I am so incredibly happy with life and everything that we have encountered. I look forward to so many more happy years of building a life and family together! Happy anniversary Isaac. I love you with all of my heart!

People make the world so difficult...

So, I work for Dish Network, therefore I cannot make decisions on my own and must follow rules and regulations set forth by the national network, which is an umbrella network for all Dish Network Retailers. Let me start off by saying, I guess I was very naive to not realize how stupid some people really are. It amazes me everyday the amount of dumb questions I get or how often I have to explain the simplest of concepts over and over and over. But here is what I really don't understand. Why do people think that yelling and cussing at me is going to change something that I have no control over. I understand that people get upset when things dont go the way we hope, I am the same way, but yelling and cussing at someone who is only doing their job is not going to get anything changed. Especially, when they repeatedly call and complain about the same thing and insult me personally when I am just following the rules of my job. I wish that every person in the world would be required to work in a retail field and deal with customers just once. Then maybe we would all realize what its like to be on the other end of a griping we can do absolutely nothing about other than grit our teeth and try not to hang up on them. This week has been a perfect example. I have had a man call in after hours for two days in a row and when I call him back during business hours I get no answer. He then reaches me today and immediately begins to yell at me and cuss constantly and I explained that we are not open 24 hours a day and that when I attempt to call during business hours I get no answer. He then proceeds to get upset that Dish Network requires a debit or credit card number and a social security number to set up an account. Dish runs a credit check (as do most respectable companies these days) to ensure they are going to get paid. You don't want to spend all of the time and money that goes into setting up an account and dish to not get paid in the end. So this gentleman proceeds to call me back and explain that his sister is going to call and give me the information I need to set up his account. I speak with her and she does not want to give me the information that I need to set up his account, he then calls to see if she has called and I relay what she has said to me and he treats me as if it is my fault. And asks if I told her any information that would make her not give me what I need. I have talked to him at least six times thus far and am just waiting for the next time he calls. I often want to tell people that we reserve the right to refuse service to anyone, and them being rude is not helping me want to help them out.

When You Say You Love Me...

So, I cannot believe how quickly our one year anniversary crept up on us. Monday, Isaac and I will have been married for a year, and it honestly seems like we just got married. I have always heard that the first year is the hardest. If that is true then God Bless because this year was amazing. I cannot believe how wonderful it has been. I am so blessed to have such an amazing and loving man in my life. I know next year will probably be our worst since I will be starting Law school, I just pray we have the skills and love to make it through the worst. This is just what I have been thinking about lately and needed to share.
