The Man of the Hour

Seeing I am new to this whole blogging thing I am a little behind in how to post pictures and all......I just wanted to post a picture of my sweetie - seeing I just sapped about him.



He is just the cheese to my macaroni! Love you honey!

Okay.....turn your sap meter up to HIGH!

I have to say that the past few days, maybe even the past couple weeks, I have felt a little down. It is no secret to friends and family that sometimes I feel a little blue. Well, I have just been feeling depressed, and it may have something to do with the fact that work has been slack lately and I have just felt inefficient. I have never understood how when I am the busiest that I manage to keep the fridge stocked with food, have dinner done when it is my night to cook, have the laundry done in a somewhat timely manner and the bills paid every Thursday; and then when I have a slow down at work - the rest of my life gets put on pause. I can guarantee you that when work does pick up and I am swamped that I am going to kick myself for letting so much time get away from me. Anyway, back to what I was saying......I have been down for a little while.

Anyway, last night I was sitting here with Joshua and was being sad and telling him that I just feel I am not the best that I can be. I think my exact words to him were "I just wish I could be a better wife for you".......I know, it is kinda sickening. But, come on....I am depressed - throw me a freaking bone here, right! So when my lovely husband came home today he was adorned with a dozen beautiful "amber" colored roses. I was flabbergasted!! My birthday IS this Friday, but I was completely shocked by his gesture. I told him I didn't understand and he simply replied "I just wanted you to know you are always the best wife".

Okay, now that you have thrown up in your puke buckets..........isn't that the coolest, sweetest thing you have ever heard? I have to say - I love him more and more every single day.

To you Joshua: I will love you today, tomorrow and forever.

I am so new to this......this is scary!

I have never blogged before. I really don't know what I am doing. I am just going to enter this little bit of information and see what happens.

My name is Amber. I live in Summerville with my wonderful adorable husband, Joshua, and the rest of my mixed up and sometimes dysfunctional family. My husband is the best man I could ever had wished for. We have been together since we were 18 and 19 and have lived a lifetime it seems with each other. We don't have any children, but not because we don't want them - trust me. He is loving, supportive, creative and understanding and probably the hardest working man I have ever met or will ever meet. He is self employed and runs a fabrication and supply warehouse here in South Carolina. I am so proud of him.

The rest of my family means the whole world to me, and if I get this blog really up and running, you will be introduced to them one by one and with all their little nuances as well. They really are the center of my universe.

I am self employed as a title abstractor (hence the name Amber the Abstractor) - and trust me, you probably don't know what a title abstractor is, but if you have bought, refinanced or sold a house or piece of property, you have used my services. I work out of my home and at the county courthouse. I love my job and can not imagine doing anything different. (And I hope I never have to because I don't know how to do anything else. I would have to go back to work at Sonic if I couldn't abstract anymore).

I have two of the best friends a girl could ask for. I met Brandy at a yard sale I was having and she introduced me to Yvonne (whom she met through Craigslist) - trust me, it was all innocent (hee hee). Together we are like the three muskateers. There is not such thing as a "third wheel" when it comes to us.....we feel empty when one of the others is not around. Like Yvonne said....when we are not with each other "It feels like a link is missing from our chain".........how sweet is that?

One thing my friends and I are into, and into with a gusto....is scrapbooking!! Yeah I know - we are nerds, but Holy Cow do we have fun!!!! We love everything about scrapbooking, from the shopping to the cropping, to the shopping, to the organizing, to the shopping and the classes to the...........did I say shopping? Ha!

Now don't get me wrong......not everything about me is peaches and cream. I have a wicked sense of humor and macabre interests, so not everything in my blog is going to be light and airy. I would say my blog is going to be a mixture of sunshine and farts..... (did I mention I love the mention of farts and fart jokes - I can rather crass when I want to be).

Okay, we'll see how this works out and maybe i will see you on the flip side....dude!
