Change! No, I'm not referring to Obama's "Change" or the 5lbs of change weighing down my purse everyday....I'm talking about the changes of life, the life of changing. We see, we know, we understand that things change, we as people change, the environment around us change, life changes. Whether or not we acknowledge these changes and accept them or disregard them is each owns individual choice, but we can't hide from it. As a child I easily accepted change in my life, when I was 6 my life changed from being an only child to being a big sister to my younger brother Nick, shortly there after I started school, made friends, lost friends, won games, lost games. The changes I experienced were rather easy. I lived in the same house my entire child and young adulthood, my group of friends didn't change much, everything gradually changed, but was never overwhelming. It was not until 2 1/2 years ago that a wave of change rolled out a new life for me. I had become a real adult, had a real adult job, met a man who has completely changed my life into something truly amazing, got engaged, got married, and now, now we are moving. The time has come to move away from my family and friends, to leave the small beautiful town I grew up in, and start a new life, a new family of my own, and make new friends. This is a change that comes easily for Jason, after all he has spent his entire life moving from city to city every few years, making new friends and a new life for himself. As for myself, I am terrified, excited, but terrified. If it wasn't for Jason I don't know if I could handle this move so well. He is the super glue that is holding me together for these last few weeks of our life here. His love, confidence, and outlook on our new life keeps a positive light inside me. But still, things will change...
I looked over my calendar this morning, counting the number of days I have left at the college (17 work days, 15 if you don't count the 2 work days I'm taking off this week, and 23 if you count the weekends), counting the number of days since we got married (297!!), counting the days until we search for a new house (2), counting the number of days till we make my first trip to Texas to see Jason's best friends (58!), and then realizing shortly after we hit our 1 year anniversary. In 68 days we will be celebrating our 1st year of marriage. WHAT?!?! Holy Guacamole!! And what's even crazier....at that point we will begin trying for a baby...which then brings up the fact that a year from now, if we do get pregnant right away I could be holding a sweet baby in my arms. Someone pinch me please!! I'm riding the unstoppable train of change! I think I need a cocktail!

the uncertain year ahead!
The Holiday madness is over, and I am finding more time in the day to get things done. We stayed here this Christmas to spend it with my parents. After our busy schedule this past year and just getting back from our honeymoon in the middle of November I wasn't really up to jumping on a plane again for Christmas to go out west. Plus, Anne was coming home for a few days and I wanted to be home to see her. It was our first Christmas as a married couple, Jason's first Christmas without his family (last year was my first year without mine), and his first Christmas with REAL snow (I mean snow on the ground and not just up in the mountains in Vegas!). I had a week and a half off from work at the college, but spent half of that time working at the shoe store, which I am no longer working at. Yep, called it quits at the shoe store...I will miss the girls, and of course the nice discounts, but I would rather spend my weekends with my husband. YAY for weekends off!!
And, here we are in 2011. I don't like writing _ _-_ _- 11...it just doesn't look right to me..and I write these dates down a dozen times a day, every time looking at it and making sure I actually wrote it correctly because it just looks so strange to me to write "11". But, it's a new year, and a time to say goodbye to 2010, SUCH A GREAT YEAR! It is sad to say goodbye to 2010. It was such a big year with our wedding and all, which reminds me...I felt horrible the other day. I was signing my name on the clipboard at the rec and talking to Spencer who was sitting at the desk, attempting to talk and write at the same time, which I've now realized I no longer can do...must be the whole getting older thing...and I look down at my signature...WHOOPS! I signed Alicia Van B (caught myself before finishing the Berlo), and of course Jason was standing right there! I haven't signed Van Berlo in over 5 months, and the only other time I accidentally signed Van Berlo was 2 days after the wedding (so that's forgivable right...I mean I had only been Huwyler for a couple days at that point). Yep, so for the past week my husband has been rubbing it in my face that I signed my maiden name :( I'm sorry...it happens! So not only do I have to remind myself to keep signing as Huwyler, but the whole 2011 thing has thrown me off too! All these changes...they're too much!! LOL
So, today is the first day of the winter semester. It's nice to have students back in the halls, these buildings are very lonely when classes aren't in session. I had a few co-workers ask me if I was taking any classes this semester, which I am not signed up for any, and off course they ask why since last year I was working on my accounting degree and only took off last year because of the wedding chaos. I basically just have to respond that I have too much going on this semester and none of the classes work with my work schedule, which is partially true, but basically I'm not signed up for any classes because of the possibility of us moving, but I'm not about to freak my co-workers out with that until we know for certain. Why sign up for a course if there is a possibility that we may not be living here in a couple months?? I'd hate to waste a month or two of a semester of hard work, and then not be able to finish it out. The uncertainty of not knowing where we will be at the end of this year kind of freaks me out. I'm trying to plan a trip out to Denver to see my cousin but I can't do that until we know whether or not we will be moving to Georgia in the next month or two. We also want to plan a trip to see the in-laws this spring but can't do that until 1.) we know when Jason will be scheduled to be out there for a meeting this spring, and 2.) again if we will be in Georgia or not. We have 2 weddings scheduled so far this year so we have to make sure that if we do move we can come back home for those since they are both in northern mich. Then we are planning to start trying for a baby at the end of the summer...I'm crossing my fingers that we will have a better idea of where we will be by then so that we're not in the middle of a move when I'm 7 or 8 months pregnant! So much on my mind to think about this year...2011 is going to be interesting!

a little r&r...
Jason and I decided to take our honeymoon in the late fall when things calmed down at work and temps lowered to near freezing, I mean why go somewhere warm and tropical in August when it's still 80-90degrees in Northern Michigan?! Plus hurricane season in the Caribbean is supposed to be July--> mid October, so early November sounded perfect!
Travel Itinerary:
Destination: The Beaches Resort on Turks and Caicos
Scheduled Days in the Caribbean: Nov. 6th-12th....
Actual Days in the Caribbean: Nov. 7th-13th...
Cause of Delay: Hurricane Tomas (that SOB!) um I thought hurricane season was supposed to be over with?!?!
I was finally packed! My beloved pink coach purse (more like a tote in some people's eyes), my accompanying zebra print carry-on (which probably weight close to the 40lb limit), and a close to capacity pink check in luggage which I had to pack and repack about a dozen times until I had the perfect outfits for whatever may come our way and most importantly until I was under the 50lb limit. I VOTE THE AIRLINES RAISE THE WEIGHT LIMIT TO 55LBS IF NOT 60LBS!!!! If I can pick up my luggage no problem I think the luggage people can too...otherwise they should probably hit the gym!!! Anyways....we were ready, packed, and rearing to go, hoping that Hurricane Tomas would allow us to make it to our destination.
The clock hit 5pm Friday afternoon and I ran out of the college doors as if someone had pulled the fire alarm. Got home 5:20pm...out the door and in the car by 5:30pm headed to Detroit...got a call from US Airways right around 7:30pm.... "we're sorry sir but the Turks and Caicos airport is taking precautionary measures and will be closing their airport Saturday due to Hurricane Tomas which is scheduled to hit the island later tonight..." um yeah...and you couldn't have called us 2 hours ago to tell us this!!! UGH! Spent the rest of the drive to Detroit on the phone with the Beaches Rep, US Airways, and the Westin trying to change our schedule around. We had already booked a room at the Westin for Friday night since we had an early morning flight on Saturday...figured we were already half way to Detroit lets just keep going...fought with the Westin and Hotels.com about changing our bookings around...HUGE PAIN IN THE ASS!!!! but my Jason finally worked things out with them. Probably won't ever stay there again even though it is conveniently connected to the airport...I'd rather stay at the Crown Plaza or Holiday Inn a block away for a lot less and get up 15 mins earlier to catch the shuttle over...at least that way we wouldn't have to pay for Detroit's outrageous parking fees!! FUTURE NOTE TO SELF!! Also even though hotels.com gives you decent hotel rates their Customer Service SUCKS!
Any who! So everything worked out...we were able to push our days back so we could still enjoy the full time in the Caribbean that we had wanted...and an added bonus we got to spend Saturday with my cousin Anthony and his adorable boys.
and this was considered a cloudy choppy day on the waters due to the storms that had gone through....must be nice!!!

Any who! So everything worked out...we were able to push our days back so we could still enjoy the full time in the Caribbean that we had wanted...and an added bonus we got to spend Saturday with my cousin Anthony and his adorable boys.
The flights were easy-peasy! a short flight from Detroit to Charlotte where we had a quick layover then we were off again headed for T&C. As the plane descended down towards the runway (more like an air-strip) at the Providenciales airport (the capital of T&C) we set our eyes on the tiny collection of islands surrounded by the clearest blue waters I've ever seen!
and this was considered a cloudy choppy day on the waters due to the storms that had gone through....must be nice!!!This place is a little piece of heaven on earth!
this time of the year the temps are near 80degrees when the sun rises around 6am...but it never felt too hot and humid because there was a constant breeze all day and night that kept us very comfortable. We were even able to keep our balcony door open at night while we slept. It was relaxing listening to the crickets and tree frogs chirping and the faint sound of rolling waves at night.
Sadly during our 6 1/2 day stay in the Caribbean we didn't have many of these sunny days. It was mostly cloudy with a couple days of rain, but we made the best of it and were able to get a little color the few times the sun did show it's face.
There was surely no absence of eating and drinking on our trip. Being that we stayed at an all inclusive resort the food and drinks had already been taken care of with our package, and many of the restaurants were buffet style. I have never eaten so much fruit and seafood in a week as I did on our honeymoon. Everything was delicious! Fresh Pineapple, melon, mango, kiwi, berries, shrimp, tuna, squid, scallops, clams, mussels, CONCH! for the first time I got to try conch (a snail like shellfish that is the national food of the island....very tasty!) I was also very brave and tried curried goat, which was very tender and a lot like beef steak. Jason's favorite part was the all you can eat Caribbean jerk pork and chicken and soft serve ice cream! That man sure knows what he likes and sticks with it! But I am VERY VERY proud of my OH-SO PICKY HUSBAND! The man who doesn't eat fish, seafood, most vegetables, anything with a cream base or sauce, no dressings, nothing cheesy, nothing buttery or garlicky, and if he can't pronounce it he won't eat it... actually tried some coconut shrimp at the Sushi Bar!!! I had been looking forward to the Sushi Bar since we booked our honeymoon and was totally prepared to go by myself and stuff myself silly with sushi and sashimi, but Jason didn't want me to go alone so he tagged along...thank goodness they had one of his beers there otherwise the poor guy would have been seriously bummed! So yes, we ate....A LOT...but I did my best to eat healthy and filled my belly with fish seafood fruits and veggies! The only time I really went into a food coma was after our candlelight dinner on the boardwalk with a personal white gloved waiter. Our dinner was originally supposed to be on the beach, but due to the high tide and wind we were moved up to the boardwalk which was still lovely! We started with a Peking duck roll appetizer (kind of like an egg roll), followed by a mango avocado salad, and then onto entrees~ I had the red snapper with asparagus and duchess potatoes, Jason had the beef tenderloin with crispy potatoes and asparagus, and for the fourth course...chocolate mousse torte with stewed berries and chocolate sauce (talk about a rich but delicious treat!)...throw in a few glasses of champagne, and a plate of chocolate covered strawberries they brought us as a "Congratulations on your Honeymoon" surprise and we were two miserably stuff and tired honeymooners! Good thing we did a lot of walking around the resort during our week long vacation! Yes, a lot of walking and swimming in the ocean sure kept us somewhat active... Sadly due to the weather we weren't able to all the water activities as we had hoped. The red flag (which meant no water sports or activities would be available other than swimming at your own risk...it was very wavy!) was up on the beach the first 4 days of our vacation and then up again on the last day, and during the remaining day and a half there was a yellow flag (limited water sports and activities available) hung. The only water sport we got around to doing was taking out an ocean kayak one morning and paddled up and down the shoreline. Jason wasn't up for para sailing and I didn't really want to go alone, and the snorkeling was open 2 of the days (one of which Jason wasn't feeling so well), and after the hurricane scared most of the wildlife of the reef away for the week there wasn't much to look at other than some coral (which we could see from the surface on the kayak we took out...the water was so clear you can see everything on the bottom of the reef). Mother nature sure put a damper on things for us, but there was nothing us or the resort could do, still we were happy and completely content to be somewhere warm and tropical, and most importantly away from the cold state of Michigan! The week flew by and before we knew it the vacation was over. The trip back to the states was unfortunately not as easy-peasy as the trip down. We had to wait in the incredibly small and packed to capacity airport, that for some reason didn't have any air conditioning for 2 1/2 hours, with about 300 other people (and several crying children) in an area meant for maybe half the number of people that were actually crammed in with us. A few hours later we had the joy of checking through customs in Charlotte (at 7pm) and for some reason my poor hubby was the only person chosen out of about 100 to have our bags searched, and of course I had to follow him to the searching area since I was traveling with him! REALLY?? I had no idea that my tall very white bald husband would look like suspicious person!! PUH-LEASE!!! We had just over a 3 hour layover in Charlotte...followed by our final flight at 10:15pm (which was slightly delayed) to Detroit....IT WAS THE MOST MISERABLE FLIGHT I'VE EVER BEEN ON!! I was overly tired, cold, had a pounding headache, a back and neck ache from carrying around my carry on and sitting in incredibly uncomfortable seating arrangements that day, a stomach ache, and my ears for the first time since I was a child decided to pop horribly the entire flight (I had forgotten the pain of popping over pressured ears!). I tried to fall asleep...but failed horribly...there were a few unhappy babies around us that were crying heartbreaking cries...I was to the breaking point of tears as we descended into Detroit...and have never been so relieved to be off a plane as I did at midnight when we landed at DTW! I cannot wait for the day when tellaportation is invented :)
All in all the honeymoon was great...met new people...went new places...ate new foods...RELAXED!!! I would definitely recommend going to T&C to others, especially if they want to go somewhere low key, and less touristy than many other Caribbean locations. The staff on the resort and the natives of the islands are some of the nicest people. The water is amazing, the weather is enjoyable even when it rains, the Beaches Resort was SUPERB! They really have something for everyone there...go as a couple and stay in the French Village where we were and enjoy a very quiet relaxing atmosphere...or go with your family and children and hangout at the water park or partake in activities with the Sesame Street Characters that the resort has used as it's younger generation theme. I honestly couldn't believe how many families with young children were there, and how many activities there were for them to participate in! And at the same time if we didn't want to be around kids we could venture off to another area of the resort where there was more of an adult vibe. A VERY VERY COOL PLACE!!! Can't wait for our 2nd honeymoon :)

Back to Life...Back to Reality!
So, I got to thinking the other day (not that I don't normally think...but...) that I MISS WRITING. I don't mean writing papers, writing statements, writing proposals for work and school, but writing. I miss the days of taking a few minutes of time for myself to just write whatever I'm thinking, whatever I'm feeling, whatever flows onto the screen. I used to blog all the time in college...it was my way of letting things out, releasing tension, venting at times, and communicating my thoughts, not to anyone in particular, but just for myself. This morning I woke up a few minutes before my alarm went off so I checked my emails, checked facebook, and thought again about my old blogging days. It took me a few minutes to even remember my login name and password, but looking over some of the old things I wrote about made me laugh. Oh things we think about when we're teenagers. Every post I read over had to do with one of 3 things....1...."boys suck!" (this one came up A LOT!)....2....stress and frustration about college....3....."My parents are soooo controlling and nosey....I wish they would just back off and stop worrying about me soooo much...it's so annoying and I hate having such strict parents!" lol! It's funny to think only a few years ago these are the topics that struck me as so important that I had to write about them. True, it is sometimes important to write about boys, to write about school, to vent about what pissed you off on a certain day, but back them this stuff that I wrote about was overkill.
So, from now on, my blogs will no longer be about 1...."boys suck" because well frankly though many do suck, my particular man (notice I didn't say boy!) is AMAZING! 2...no more stress and frustration about college and courses (I'm done with school and that part of my life....for now anyway)....and 3...no more venting about my overly strict parents...because well, now that I look back I realize they really weren't that strict, they did worry about me, but for good reason, and I love my parents, wouldn't trade them for the world!

Here we go...back to the life that is reality!
Chaos has momentarily decided to become dormant.
Life is slowing down.....
Returning back to normal...well sort of...normal life isn't all that exciting...
Work is back to a comfortable pace...classes are already 4 weeks into session...and the flow of tuition and scholarships going in and out of my office has become manageable....
Business at the shoe store is booming (the economy still sucks, but things are brighter in world of selling shoes). Sadly though, this life will be coming to an end after the holidays. After 6 years of selling hundreds of shoes if not thousands, this girl is hanging up her laces and taking a much needed break from retail. Anyone who has ever worked retail understands when I say it is an exhausting job! Yes, it kept me in pretty good shape having to run up and down stairs with boxes of boots and shoes in hand for several hours, and I now have a great sense of customer service, which everyone should take the time to learn, but it truly is a tiring job. Now that I've been working full-time at the college for almost 2 years, and then working almost every Saturday and a few Sundays here and there I don't get much time to do what I want to do. By the time Sunday comes I have no energy to do anything...all I want to do is nothing, which lately has been a waste of some pretty amazing summer and fall days with my husband, friends and family. So, after Christmas is all over I will have weekends off to do as I please! I CAN'T WAIT!
Enough of work, that's boring...How about what's really great in my life right now. I'M SO VERY HAPPILY MARRIED! It's hard to believe that it's already been 8 weeks since our wedding day. I don't know know where the time has gone this past year, but boy did it go! If you would have told me 2 years ago that I would be married to the most amazing guy I probably would have laughed at you and thought you were insane! Crazy how things change in a short amount of time :) Jason Alexander Huwyler is the most amazing guy I have ever met (other than my totally awesome dad of course). How I managed to meet a southern gentleman from Texas in Northern Michigan beats me, but I thank God for him everyday! If I could clone him I would be a rich girl because I can't tell you how many ladies have asked where I found him and where can they get one too :) Life sure is good. People ask me every day since the wedding how married life is....honestly it doesn't feel any different...still just as happy and crazy in love as we were before we got married, I just tell them I have a new last name (which is kind of weird being called "Mrs Huwyler", I still don't answer to it half the time...just goes right over my head :) haha! Then of course there is the baby question...ask me again next year I say!
Yes, I'll say it again....life is good! And I'm glad to see things die down for a little while so I can take some time to relax, take a deep breath and smile :) Reality ain't so bad, as least mine isn't!
