And Life Just Keeps Moving

So some of you might have heard, actually all of you have probably heard but the wedding is indeed off. Sad? Definitely. But it was for the better. I wasn't ready and I think we both just jumped into too fast. He was supportive of my decision and I still love him to death and we'll always always always be friends....
On a happier note, things are going really well for me. I just sent in three applications to different hair schools for next June and am super excited about that. Nervous but excited. I love my job and was offered an assistant front desk manager position after only two months! Yay for me! I'm looking for an apartment so I can get out on my own again, which would be really nice. I just need to find someone I can live with that I can stand and that I can trust. Maybe I'll convince my sister to let me rent the room out in her house...Yeah right! No way she'd be ok with that. Anyway, I'm finally back on my feet and happy with the direction I'm going. It feels great. I know my parents are probably thinking I'm still stuck in a hole but I'm climbing out. Slowly but surely. =)
All in all, I'm happy right now. And I plan on keeping it that way.

Tag! I'm it!

So I was tagged by savor-silence-savor-cin...And let me just say I hate things like this but I'll do it because a) I'm really bored and b) I guess it can be kind of entertaining...


Here are the Rules:
1. Link to the person that tagged you
2. Post the rules on your blog.
3. Share six non-important things/habits/quirks about yourself.
4. Tag six random people at the end of your post by linking to their blogs.
5. Let each random person know they have been tagged by leaving a comment on their website.
6. Let your tagger know when your entry is UP.



So here are my 6 quirks....

1.....I'm very matchy-matchy. I have to match. And when I don't feel like I match or when other people don't match it drives me crazy. For example- You absolutely cannot wear black shoes with a brown shirt! And vice versa. And no white shoes with black shirt either! Also, I hate wearing blues together. No blue shirts with blue jeans. Just can't do it. I buy my clothes in outfits. Most of the time I'll wear the jeans I wear the most and pick out shirts that go. I'm the same with my shoes. Everything just has to match.

2.....I cover my mouth when I eat. Doesn't matter what I'm eating, who I'm with or where I am. I just do. I have no idea why. An insecurity thing I guess.

3.....I'm addicted to my....CELL PHONE!!! I know I know it's so pathetic, but honestly I can't go anywhere without it. I feel so naked without it. I'm constantly looking at it too. Always checking it even though I know I don't have a text or a missed call or anything. What's funny is how excited and surprised I am when I walk away from it for a second and I actually do have something. lol

4.....I roll my eyes all the time and don't even know I'm doing it. I get in trouble for it all the time. When I was younger my parents would be like "Don't roll your eyes at me!" and I'd say "I didn't!!!" and then I'd catch myself doing it. It's all subconcious. Don't even know its hapening. What's really funny is that my mom does it too, a lot, and doesn't realize she's doing it and will deny, deny, deny....haha I learned it from watching you mom!!!

5.....I am absolutely terrified of falling. You can get me up as high as you want but do not put me close to the edge of anything! I love hiking and stuff like that but I start to get really dizzy and shaky as soon as I get close to the edge. Rollercoasters are hell for me. I'll go on them because they're fun but I hate them. It's a love/hate relationship. I'll get on, sit down, make sure I'm strapped in (I'll check like 8 times) and be really quiet until the first drop. Then, I'll let out one blood curdling scream and then I laugh hysterically the rest of the time. It's almost pathetic but I'm sure it's entertaining for everyone else.

6.....I have a really long tongue. Enough said.


Ok so I've done it, even though I didn't want to...And I tag...Well everyone I would tag has been tagged by someone else. The madness had to stop somewhere...=)

Wedding Planning....

So have you ever heard the saying that those who can't do, teach? Or those who don't wed, plan? (Yes this is from a movie, just go with it ok?) Well this is why I'm getting married. I can't plan. Well I guess I can, and I've had some pretty decent ideas so far but I'm just having trouble on the decision making part. I just can't seem to fully visualize things and I'm not so sure I'll be able to until we actually put it all together. This makes me nervous. I'm sure that my mother can see it. Or at least I hope so because she stresses out more than I do. (Love you Mom!! But you know its true!) In my head it's beautiful, elegant and everything I've pictured, but who doesn't picture their wedding this way? Duh. I mean who would picture their wedding to be a total disaster? I guess yeah the thought has crossed my mind but it's not like I actually think it will be...at least I hope not.
I have my dress, I've picked out the colors, the cake, the location, the decorations in mind, the food, his ring and so forth. The engagement pictures have yet to be taken but that's ok because we have plenty of time- and no mom I'm not procrastinating, we actually do have quite a bit of time. I haven't had my bridals taken yet but we're waiting until after the engagements are taken to do so, and that's ok too. It's nice to have two families so willing to do so much to help and I hope they all know that they are greatly appreciated. My wonderful mom and sister in law are taking care of my engagement and bridal photos which rocks and hopefully cousin Jason will agree to take the pictures at the wedding. So that's awesome, and cheap. And my soon to be mother in law is doing whatever she can to help too so that's a lot of stress off of everyone's shoulders. Yay! So I guess we'll see how things go. Kevin is being amazing about it all and is being very helpful, except for the occasional non serious comment when I really need him to be serious, but at least he's teaching me to lighten up. Which is where we balance. I take everything too seriously and worry too much and he takes nothing seriously and doesn't worry about anything. Maybe we'll meet in the middle. :-)
All in all I guess I need to really remember what is important. I'm marrying the guy I truly love and we're going to start our life together. That's all that counts. So maybe I should just sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride....hahaha Yeah Right! No way will that happen no matter how much I try....

Angry Old People...And words I can't Repeat

So I was going to try to be super good and write in this every day but since I've got a super fun filing project to do while I've been at work I just haven't had the time. And when I say super fun I mean it super sucks. I work at a hotel and my project, since I honestly have absolutely nothing else to do, was to file all of our registration cards from every day, of every month in room number order. Yay. Really I mean that. Yay. It has taken me almost 3 full eight hour shifts to file just three months worth of cards. And I'm not even close to done! I ran out of file folders so I had to quit. Dang I was really getting into it.
Anyway, I guess I'll tell a little about what is going on in my life right now. I just quit my job at a car wash in town to work full time at a hotel as the night auditer. Why I decided that graveyards five nights a week was a good idea escapes me right at the moment. Maybe it was because I get paid well or maybe its because I don't really have to deal with any guests or co workers. Except when the grumpy old people complain because their air conditioner was too loud or because we don't have any rooms on the first floor because all of the previous old people that checked in before them requested them all. For heaven's sake we have an elevator!!! Two actually! I don't actually know if any of you have ever had a 70 year old man lean across a counter top that's almost taller than he is and scream profanities directly at you (while showering you with saliva,) but let me tell you- it is so much fun. Entertaining in fact. Almost. He was upset because his room was on the third floor and he had to walk all the way down the stairs, with his bad knees, to get extra towels because the maids only gave him two, which is actually what they're supposed to do. I gave him the towels and told him it might be easier on his knees this time if he used one of the two elevators in the building. This brought on a longer and slightly louder string of profanities that my mother would wash my mouth out with liquid soap for saying. I asked him what the problem was and why he continued to scream at me and he said "I didn't see any &%#@* *%!?^$% elevators!!!" Apparently this was my fault. Go figure.
Anyhow, I'm headed home from my last working day of the week. 7 AM!! Yay! My day ends while everyone elses begins....

Well Everyone Else Is Doing It!

Ok so I started this blog because I decided I needed to keep up with the people in my life...You know like family and friends and whoever else I talk to or don't talk to. My adorable sisters both have one and that's how I keep up with their fun and entertaining stories and believe me they are usually all entertaining...And plus I now work graveyards at a hotel 5 nights a week so I pretty much have all the time in the world!
Anyhow, I guess I should tell you a little about myself. My name is April Lynn Suzick and I was born May 25, 1989. (Yes I'm named April and was born in May, make any jokes you feel like making, I've heard every one of them, I promise.) I was born in Lakenheath, England on the air force base my dad was stationed at. Yes i'm a military brat! :-) I have 2 brothers and 2 sisters, Josh 31, Danny 29, Brycen 11, and Madison 9. Yep we're kind of spread out but we have different dads so that explains a tiny bit of it. I have a wonderful sister in law that is one of my best friends and she has given me the most amazing nieces and nephews ever! They're honestly the cutest kids! Owen especially. He has so much personality and so many antics for a 3 year old. Now she has another one on the way. Maybe two. I hope. That would be awesome! Twins! A boy and a girl! (She's going to kill me for wishing that upon her...) I also have an adorable brother in law that I love to pieces and I'm so glad him and my sister finally got married. Now they just need to have babies. My parents are divorced but I live with my mom who I love very much and a pretty great step dad that I think I might have taken for granted, but we'll get into that later. I think I have a pretty great life for being 19 and I'm glad I'm learning to really appreciate it.
I'm engaged to be married to a pretty amazing guy that I met at the end of this last March. We met at work and we've been best friends ever since. I can tell him anything and even though sometimes he can't be serious he always makes sure I know he's listening and that he wants to make things better. He's my wonderful fire fighter and you'll definitely hear more about him later on. The date is set for March 21st and needless to say I'm super excited! My mom is being great about it and so is the rest of my family along with his. I'm hoping things will go smoothly. He's fitting in great with my family which is sometimes hard to do, but I think he does so well because he really doesn't take anything seriously, and that's needed because my family is full of sarcasm and dry humor and every one of us is very blunt. Even my nine year old sister who was coming up with sarcastic remarks at the age of 5 and making us all wonder where she comes up with the things she says.
For instance I was doing a report for my history class my sophomore year in high school and it was during the Olympics. We each were assigned a country on which we were supposed to find out as much as we could that had to do with this country's history and involvement with the Olympics. I was assigned China. Anyway I went home that day and sat down on the couch and asked my parents "What do you guys know about China?" My little sister Madison, who happened to be five at the time pipes up and says "Well they're Chinese duh." None of us really knew what to say and she still shocks us with the things she comes up with. She's adorable and kind of a brat. :-P
So anyway, I think I'm a pretty entertaining person. I'm sarcastic and usually pretty blunt and my mouth has definitely gotten me in trouble! I'm a lot of fun and enjoy all outdoor activities like wake boarding and hiking and camping and swimming and whatever you name it. I'm hoping to try snow boarding this season but we'll see how that goes...I love love love all sports and I'm definitely a football fan. I'm a Green Bay Packers fan and I'm secretly in love with Brett Favre but don't tell my fiancee! But now that he's playing for the Jets and making them look pretty good I might just have to keep up with them as well. We'll see. haha.
This blog is sort of vague, boring and non personal to me, but I'll get more in depth about me and my family as it goes on. I'll probably write almost every day so it'll constantly be updated! Yay! Fun for all of you! Anyhow, look for more entertainment to come...
