Comic Relief

A friend at school told me about this and i was cracking up. It might have been because i was stressed over my test, or this could actually be good, you be the judge.

Invitations

Monday Henry and I sent out our first invitations. We still have a lot to send out, but I feel like we're over the mountain or at least at the top of it. Next on the list, decorations for the church. Any suggestions?

Recovery

Pain is not so much fun...especially when your dog jumps on your stitches. Yes that is right Moe the dog is not my favorite thing right now. He jump on my stitches, walked all over me today, broke the door, put his paws on the counter (which he has never done and knows he’s not suppose to) keeps me up at night with either barking or laying on me. It’s a good thing he is cute or otherwise he would be out on the street. Ok well maybe not on the street cause I do love him.
Recovery time is officially over now; I start school back up again tomorrow, off to the races again.
On the side of good news, I turned in a research paper I had been working on and my teacher thanked me for actually writing on something interesting, WOW, how often do you get a teacher to thank you. Also I just found out that I am now passing Patho/Pharm. I have a 73.33% (73% is failing) so yeah for passing.

Growing stronger

Well i am finally able to be out of bed for a while each day and can even sit sometimes! Wedding plans are coming a long, we have all the invitations all glued together, not to spray them, stuff them, and then address and mail them.. wow that list seems long. Planning this wedding has been so diffrent then what i expected, i knew it would be stressful and difficult, but i didn't think that it would make me so upset and make me almost hate weddings. Maybe that is the best advicate for not getting divorced is you never have to plan anouther wedding. :) I will be so glad when its all over. It hasn't all been bad, i really like buying my dress and getting it fitted the other day, something about my dress makes me feel like a million bucks and like I'm the most beautiful person in the world. I know henry's going to love it, i can't wait to see his face when i walk down the isle.

I have been really emotional this weekend and Henry has been so sweet to me, he brought me chocolate, watched movies with me, let me choose what we did, got me ice, food, drinks, pain killers, and even read to me. He is one of the most caring me I know. He is also one of the most patient people i know, when i'm crying over petty things he gently helps me to regain my composure, he has a way of doing that with me. He hasn't given up on me even though i am horrible at controlling what i say and my emotions, i yell at him, say mean thing, and all sort of other thing, but it doesn't fase him, he takes in all in stride. I guess he read the fine print to this package deal beforehand. I think it also helps that he has two sister. So thank you for making you brother a sweet, caring, and gental man Esther and Patty.

day two

well yesterday i accomplished much i updated my facebook, checked my email, watch a movie and some tv, even decided on a cake topper for the wedding. My big task of the day is i got our of bed and was able to walk around a little bit. It was really tiring so then i laid back down and henry killed me in a board game. Today on my today list, read my research articles so i can write my paper that was due on Tuesday, price steaks for the rehearsal dinner, research columns to decorate with,the biggest of them all is take a shower and put on some clean cloths. I know if have such a hard life :P o wait not i don't. I'll keep you posted on if i can actually accomplish all these things.

Tiny Chapel

I found this poem in a deli way up the Skagit River and really liked it. I just re-found it on my computer today and thought i would share it.





Just a Tiny Chapel

It was just a tiny chapel,
That came upon my way.
No bigger then a doll house,
Where children go to play.
There was something very peaceful,
I felt it all around ,
As I knelt before the altar,
I could feel God’s love abound.
Inside the tiny chapel,
I sat alone and cried.
But they were tears of happiness,
As I remembered why Jesus died.
I could only stay awhile,
But I turned before I left,
To gaze upon the beauty,
Our dear lord had graciously sent.
It was just a tiny chapel,
That came upon my way.
Imbedded in my memory,
Forever and a day

Happy Bday to me!

yesterday was my 21st b-day. Most people would go out and drink right? not me...I decided that instead i would have a fatty lump removed from my inner leg. can i say PARTY! I figured the effects were similar, wake up groggy the next day, spend the day in bed, puke up a bunch of stuff ect. I will have to say that my way of celebrating was more expensive then the traditional way, but i guess i just like expensive things. :)

On a serious note... it is so weird to be the patient and not the nurse. I told all my nurses that i was in nursing school and they all said "good we all want to retire someday and someone has to replace us"
Furthermore it is amazing what humans can do to other human bodies but more amazing is how drugs effect our bodies. All i remember is i was sitting in a chair talking to my mom then the next thing i knew i was laying in a bed drinking apple juice with an ice pack between my legs. My mom said i was pretty loopy when i woke up, I thought i was being very rational...guess thats what drugs do to you (kids, stay off drugs.) God has truly blesses us with the ability to "fix" one anouther. I say "fix" because we as human don't do anything that God doesn't allow. As Proverbs 16:9 says man plans his steps but it is God direct his way (very rough translation, give me a break i had surgery)

It is nice to have this time to sleep and catch up on things, but it is still strange not to be able to run at a million mile per hour getting all my school work done and wedding things done as well.

Please pray i have a full and speedy recovery (i have research paper to write) and that God would use this time to speak to me and grow me.

Dress alterations

I had my first dress fitting today! Its going to be so pretty!!! It reminded me of the newest fasion in tank tops, take a look


What do you think? I was thinking I would wear this all summer long, maybe even to my clincal.

California

My Dad took me to the zoo for my 21st birthday. I LOVE ANIMALS!

We also shopped A LOT and finally found my wedding shoes. I tried to find a picture for y'all but i couldn't :( i guess it will just be a surprise for everyone :)

This has been a busy week for me, I had several meetings with teachers because of some bad exams in a couple of my classes. Furthermore I got my engagement ring. When Henry proposed he had my wedding band and a loose diamond. That way i got to pick my setting and i finally got the BIG ring.

San Diego is a really pretty place and I am glad that I live in a county that i am able to get on a plain and be thousands of miles away in 2 1/2 hours.
