Let's hope this works out.

I hope that I can remember to write in this blog. I guess I should start out by saying "hello!" As, you know, my name is Sara (Hale) Compton, I am married to a wonderful man name Cory. We met on July 3, 2009 while at a YSA (young single adults) slip n' slide party. It was pretty much love at first sight, or at least admire at first sight. We started dating a week after we met, I met his family, his entire family, two weeks after that (that day is a story in of itself) and a week after that, I told him I loved him. We got engaged on October 8, 09 and got married on December 18, 2009. So this last December marked our two year anniversary, and we are more in love today than when we got married. And for those who know my birthday, yes I got married the day before my birthday, and no, I am not afraid of Cory mixing my birthday, anniversary and Christmas into one occasion. I made him promise not to do such a thing.

Ok, enough of the cheese, and more about who I am. :) I love music, it is a part of my daily life. I find it so amazing that music affects our moods, and make our emotions more intense. I love art. I am currently trying to be more artistic. I am teaching myself how to draw, and when I get a home, I want to start painting. I love photography, I'm not very good yet, but Cory gave me a new camera for my birthday, so I will be practicing. I love reading, but the books that I read have to have dialogue for me to get interested, if it doest have dialogue, I need to hear it. I am an aweful speller, so sorry if I missspell things....

Things that drive me nuts: noisy eaters (smacking, moaning, biting the utensil, scraping the utensil against a glass or metal dish, talking with the mouth full, chewing with the mouth open) Pretty much all my pet peeves involve eating.

I am a huge nerd! I can talk for hours about Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, (sadly I havent read the books yet though....not a lot of dialogue, I will need the audio book) and XBOX 360 games, especially the Elder Scrolls games. I loved Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion. And I am currently playing Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim, which is pretty much the coolest game ever. My problem with these games is: I am the biggest chicken known to man. In these games, you save the world from bad guys by fighting them. I can't do that. When a bad guy/animal, or really anything that threatens my life, comes on the screen, I freak out. My adrenaline starts pumping, and my fingers forget how to work, and my character on the screen ends up running in circles, waving her sword around as if trying to swat a bee in the air. Meanwhile, I am holding on to the controller for dear life and whimpering, like it's me who is dying. Needless to say, Cory does the fighting, and I do the "boring" stuff, like exploring, talking to people, getting the quests in the jounal. I'm the same way in old games, like the N64's Zelda. Those little skeletons that come up at night make me go crazy, I forget how to function.

As I mentioned before, we are currently homeless. Cory's job is trying to find a permanent location for him to work. Meenwhile, we have been living in various hotels. There are many, many stories that come with that. I will be sharing an interesting hotel story every so often with my posts. Today though, as I am typing this, there is a little mouse running around the room. Cory and I saw it last night, but it just came out for a small moment and scurried back to it's hiding place. But today, he is more active. While I was combing my hair, I felt a little scratch on my ankle, but I didnt think anything of it. Then I felt it again, only more aggressive, I looked down and the little guy was trying to climb up my leg. It scared me so I screamed, and the poor little thing got so frightened it ran away, trying to figure out which way to go, tumbling and falling in the process. Now that it is quiet, except my typing, it is coming out more often and running around. He doesnt bother me too much. I named him Reginald. For those of you who are completely grossed out by the fact that I am O.K. with the fact that there is a mouse running in our room, don't worry, I told the front desk, and they are taking care of the matter. There is nothing on the floor that little Reginald can hurt, so I dont mind him wondering. I imagine Reginald is a currious mouse, his mother trying to teach him not to go near humans, and to stay in the wall. But Reginald has ADD, and can't stay in one place for very long, he just wants to explore his little world. He doesnt understand why he has to stay in the wall, when there is a whole hotel to explore. He doesn't realize that this hotel is the human's domain. Coming out of the wall was exiting his safe, warm home, and coming into an unforgiving territory, where humans fear and hate mice. Reginald doesnt know that the human he saw today, told other humans, who called other humans, who will get rid of him and his family for good.

Anywho, enough writing for today. Have a great day, and remember, God loves you! Stay tuned.
