Well, Im starting a blog. Everyone has told me that once I get married I have to start a blog. That it will help to keep the family updated on all of our doings. Well, needless to say that didnt happen. Here it has been a year and 9 months and I am just starting one. Not going to lie, really the reason I havent started one is because first of all I dont think life here in the Deitrick household is exciting enough to talk about. But also we are having a baby! So this can help me give out some details in a semi public but not awkward way. maybe... I think...
I do love to read blogs. The ones I do read from family and friends are so funny! dang it why cant I be that funny. maybe I will learn to be. Its my goal. So if Im not funny dont hate. give me some time. :) k thanks.
So I guess I can start by introducing us a little bit. Justin and I are the Deitrick family! if your reading this and dont know who we are I have no idea why you are reading this.... I promise it wont really apply to you and you dont care what I have to say. We are the last of the line. I mean Justins parents are still alive and well, but he only has 3 older sisters. All of which are married and wont pass on the name. So glad I can help with that. Also, we are about to have a baby boy! we are super stoked. It is the first grandchild on my side, and the first boy on Justins. We saved the name for posterity. My job is complete. Not that we are done, more of the pressure to have a son is off. Which is super nice. Both of our parents are super excited as well. Not just because its a boy, but because its a new little baby. We have 2 nieces, but the youngest one is turning 6 this year. So it has been a while since there has been a baby around. And my youngest sister is 16 so my mom has been itching for one for a while. This is what Im here for! Here to help.
Anyways, so I graduated this last december with my associates in medical assisting. hooray for me! Lots of challenges along the way. But I am done and couldnt be happier. My dear husband cant say the same... yet. He is studying mechanical engineering. Justin still has about a year left of school. He could be done sooner but the way classes are offered it will take him another 3 semesters. yuck... but on the brightside he only has to take like 3 classes per semester. so the load will be less, the stressload more because of the kind of classes he is taking. I have looked at his homework and some of his word problems. Holy cow he is a smarty pants. He knows much more than I and I just sit back eating cookies while he drowns himself in numbers and figures. But he enjoys it. Even if the actual school part is hard. Someday soon he will be free too!
The purpose of the title of this blog has a lot to do with Justin and less to do with me. But im part of the family so I can claim it too. Justin likes things very clean and a particular way. He is not OCD or anything and our house is definitely not perfect. But we keep it comfortable for our standards. He likes to keep our things (cars and the motorcycle specifically) clean and well taken care of. When he does a project in our apartment he likes it done right and have the measurements be exact as they can be. I guess thats the engineer in him. But my dad was an engineer so really Im used to it. and its a good thing! im not complaining at all. We have deemed this quality the Deitrick detail because we like to take care of things. I like things to be clean and in there place. I hate hate hate having dishes in the sink and a dirty kitchen. I feel the need to clean up all the time. But I currently have nothing better to do so I dont mind at all. I hear babies come with a lot of messes so I am gearing myself up for the "fun." But we keep our cars clean and trash free. We keep then washed and have regular maintenance done. Justin does it himself so that expense is not too high. Love that. We keep things in there place. We may be cluttered on occassion, but we keep it clean.
I feel like I rambled a lot about how we are neat freaks. oops. sorry. I just remember the majority of my home life not always being that way. I definitely have had dirty rooms. I have had dirty cars! in my defense, I shared a car, so we can share the blame. sorry Dani. love you. I know my mom always had organizing projects going on in the living room. Organizing is good! taking 2 weeks to do it and it being laid out in piles in the living room drove me a little crazy. But what could I have done. I could have helped... I could have made it easier and not just complained. I think Im giving myself more of a guilt trip here than making my point. shoot. I told you I was bad at this.
And to make a long story longer, to make my point. I have changed since coming to college. And more so getting married. But in the end this really has to do with the detail of our lives and what we have going on. Apart from waiting for baby its just the usual. Justin is working and going to school. We sold the Ninja 500 motorcycle, but only to upgrade to a Suzuki 650. also red. The ninja was more of a bright red. The 650 is more of a blood red. We have deemed it Bloody Pete. Mostly because that is the first words and ideas that came to mind. I think we were joking talking about it. But it has stuck now so no changing it.
Well I feel accomplished. I wrote a lot more than I thought I would. I hope you have found this profound and exciting. Probably not. I wont promise anything. I never was good about journal writing. But since Im not doing anything I think I can find the time to write down the important things.
