Afternoon cyber-world.
This weekend was extremely up and down.
Myself and Mike had a dinner on Saturday for J as he asked us to, and we had 13 or 14 friends over.
It was great, everyone had a good time, the house was a disaster the next day but that just proves it was a great party.
J had a slight breakdown at one point, but no one could blame him of course. We were just there for him as friends which is all we can do.
So Saturday was great. Feeling a little worse for wear on Sunday, Mike and I went for lunch. At lunch I received a facebook message from a friend that I went to college with. She and her husband lost their baby on Saturday night at 33 weeks pregnant. I can't even imagine. I really, really can't.
I'm not going to post the details as it's not my place, even with how vague I am. This beautiful woman and her husband need their privacy and I know they have alot of friends all over the world.
On the upper hand again, Mike starts his business degree this week, so that's wonderful, I'm so proud of him.
Sunshine, lollipops and love. Especially to K&P and their beautiful angel-baby B, and J of course.

PS: Getting around to the getting to know you post. When life stops throwing huge curveballs and events and whatnot.

Life is unfair.
Hello non-existent followers. At least I can pretend someone is reading this.
Let's call you B. Good solid letter.
Hi B;
This was supposed to be an introductory type post where I tell you about myself (how very narcissistic of me). However, today I found out a very close friend of mine's father was in a motorcycle accident this past weekend. He's on life support, with little to no brain function. :( He's such a nice, sweet, decent man. And hilarious. He doesn't deserve this. No one deserves this. Okay, well, some people. But basically no one.
I said to Mike today, wow, I can't even imagine what he's going through. Mike looked at me funny, and I thought, oh wait, yes I can. And you know what? It's hell. I don't wish that on anyone, to have to sit there and look at that person you love and wonder, are they ever going to look at me again? Will they ever know who I am again?
And you know what else? Nothing anyone says can make a damn difference.
I'm a coper (cope-er?); I deal with things well, I make decisions, I stick to them, I follow through. I'm stubborn and tenacious, which I guess makes me an ideal girlfriend for Mike in the situation he went through in March being incoherent for nine days. (Again with the narcissism!! I'm normally not self-centered.. At least not too much).
I coped, I dealt, I told people off who were being over emotional or hard to deal with, I organized insurance and who was taking care of our house and our animals; and I waited for my boyfriend to come back to me. Because he was going coming back to me. Or I'd go wherever he was and drag him back.
.. Hmm.. Kind of went off on a tangent.
Point being I guess, I hope my friend stays strong, uses the support he has around him and most of all, I hope his Dad will be alright.
If you believe in prayer, please pray for J's Dad, if you don't, please just hope for him.
Today, not feeling the sunshine and lollipops.

First Post Nerves
Hello out there cyber-world.
My name is Alex (yes a woman named Alex, it's a family name). I'm a twenty-one (twenty-two in three months today, yay birthdays!) year old female living in Canada in a city of about 27,000 people.
Decided to take up blogging as a result of my boyfriend being in a semi-truck accident March of this year, and deciding it would be good to vent, and keep sane and positive in a constructive manner.
On March 15th of this year, my boyfriend was involved in a head-on semi collision due to extreme weather conditions resulting in a no fault accident, that broke my boyfriend's femur, gave him ten stitches in his head, a concussion, staples in his leg, and fatty embolism syndrome. (Resulting from fat escaping from his broken femur, and rushing to his brain and lungs). The other gentleman involved in the accident, unfortunately and to our greatest sorrow passed away.
Now, five months later; were still dealing with the consequences of this accident, fun stuff with WCB, getting Mike (my boyfriend, gee I forgot to mention his name!) signed up and ready for college, finishing the basement and landscaping our first house, planning an engagement and wedding, dealing with an insane puppy. And dealing with our equally insane families.
It's not always easy, but it's our life, I wouldn't change it for the world and I'm thankful every day I get to wake up next to Mike and tell him that I love him.
Sure there will be more posts soon.
Sunshine & lollipops to you all.
Alex <3
