My 26th birthday was wonderful! Nathan made me the best spicy pasta and the best oysters rockefeller that I have ever had! He made me a poster of our inside joke drawings that we had made over the months, and I love love love it! Then on my birthday for real, we went to The Grit and I got their famous Golden Bowl that was absolutely fantastic! Who could have thought that tofu was actually yum?! It was great!
I passed my med math test with a 100! So no more of that for me! Yay!
I had some revelations occur to me over the past few weeks. I never really thought that I would be super motherly and super want the "American dream" of the nice little suburban house and 2.5 kids and a yard and cooking food for my husband, but I have fallen in love with that idea. I really want that. Someday (after I graduate). I hate that I am still in school. :(
Also, I weigh 132. Which is poop.

one more day...
Until my super secret fiance birthday celebration! I don't know what he's doing besides cooking (I don't know what), but I am so excited!!! I miss him too :( It'll be 2 days since I have seen him by tomorrow! It doesn't sound long, but he's my best friend! I just want to cuddle him all the time!
The first day of school went well, I think. I may or may not have made a 100 on my med math test, we will find out soon. I have one more chance if I didn't... but let's just hope that I did! I am ready to start learning again. It makes me feel good (and exhausted at the same time) to have things that I HAVE to do. School, work, wedding planning, and fiance should keep me super occupied! We are having a breakfast for the incoming juniors this morning, which should be interesting! Oh, and everyone asked me a ton of questions about the wedding, and loved the ring, and how he did such an awesome job, etc. :) It was nice! It was also nice to come back with no ill feelings and everyone in a good mood. Refreshed and ready for depletion, like last semester. ;)
I still weigh 130. Poop. I am going to try real hard today since this weekend, all diet bets are off. Food tomorrow with Nathan, and food Sunday with my family! I can't wait!
I guess I better get ready, or something.

excitement!
Things have been pretty wonderful lately! Nathan and I are learning more and more about each other and growing in God. He is reading Wild at Heart, which is giving him good insight into himself and into me, and I am reading about not being stressed out all the time! :) It is seeming to work! I am a lot happier and a lot more calm, not thinking about the things that I used to all the time, and now they are growing rarer and rarer everyday (which I am super thankful for!). I went to the doctor the other day and I am still hovering around 130 (129.5). I feel like mostly because I haven't been sticking to my diet like I should be! Nathan and I have been enjoying ourselves... with food! The other day I took him to a Mexican restaurant that he had never been to, and while the fish tacos were delicious, the pickled jalepenos super hurt my stomach :(
I also bought some new Chacos the other day after much pursuasion from Nathan, and we toured around 5 Points in Athens and ate a lot of pizza at Earth Fare. It was a wonderful, wonderful day! Today after I get off work and Nathan meets me home, we are going for a long walk, and then we are going to eat all of the calories we just burned by indulging in Olive Garden's unlimited pasta bowl. It is my favorite event of the year, except for Christmas. Maybe Thanksgiving, because I get to ride horses. But, pasta, for real. Also, today I looked for more wedding stuff at Goodwill, like I do all week, but I couldn't find anything for the wedding. However, I did find 4 dresses, 2 of which were 3 dollars a piece, a cardigan for me, and a flannel shirt for Nathan that matches my flannel dress that I bought! I smell engagement pictures!!!!
Anyway, we are narrowing down plans for our pre-marital counseling, and wedding planning has gone on hold for the most part. I have to start school on Thursday, and I am not ready! At all! I have a Med Math test that I HAVE to make a 100 on, so prayers would be great!
The end.

devotion(als)
So, Nathan and I decided to start doing a couple's devotional. It's for people who are already married, but we can tweak it to be for those who are married-to-be! We want to base our marriage off of God and His teachings, so we are learning about what marriage is from that standpoint. We were reading about the difference between a contract and a covenant marriage, which was very interesting. We are leaning towards a convenant one ;)
Yesterday was fun! Nathan came over and we were going to go to church early, but we missed the service... we thought it was at 9:30 when it was in fact at 9. So, we got coffee and went to the store to pick up some food (Caprese bagels!) and went back to the house and did our devotional reading together which was awesome!
It's crazy to see how far we have come from this to where we are!
What is not awesome, however, is how flipping itchy my face is.
I have had problems with zits (not entirely acne, and if it is it's not severe) my entire life. Well mostly after hitting puberty. ANYWAY, I am tired of it. I'm 25 (almost 26) years old! So, I went and got the 3 step system from Clinique, which worked wonders overnight, but it super dries my skin out, so my face is red and I want to take a sander to it to stop the itching! But, it looks like it's working, so I suppose I'll deal with it (first world problems).
I also got a Groupon to get my tattoo removed. Well, one of them. One that is tied to the "old" me and one that I don't want to carry into my marriage! It'll be nice to not have to hide my arm anymore! (Tattoos are not fun for nursing students or the professional workplace. I wish the younger me knew that). So, a nice clean (hopefully) slate. I know it will make Nathan happier, and in turn, myself. I've been on a better path the past couple of weeks, reading a lot about growing more comfortable with myself through God and giving up perfectionism and dreading the worst. I'm a happier and carefree-er me! I love love love it.
