Winding Down

This semester is ALMOST OVER! I am so excited! Who would have thought that I have made it this far!? Certainly not me! I am so grateful though :)

To more serious matters, I think I am having a flare up. Of ulcerative colitis, that is. It is the terror that I get most afraid of every time my stomach gets upset. This time, it's for real I believe. I really need lots of prayer and good thoughts! God can do anything.

Tomorrow I get to go with my bridesmaid (sans my Maid of Honor... sad face) and look at dresses! I may get to try mine on while I'm at it! I hope to lose 10 pounds before the wedding (I have a whole year almost). However I did find a beautiful silver/nickel color Calvin Klein gown for cheap today for Nathan and my Christmas at The Fox to see The Nutcracker! So excited!

Then after my measly 2 hours of work, I get to spend time with Nathan :) That's the best part of any day ever. I love him much!

Good Day | Bad Day

I had an incredible day in clinical today. I got to hold babies and squeeze babies and touch babies and burp babies and I love the babies. It's what I want to do.

Then my belly started hurting and I was late for work (almost an hour and a half). I have previous seriously almost deathly history with belly hurts, so I am worried about that. I'm praying its just irritated and will go away.

I need my Prince Charming (fiancé) to hold me close and tell me everything will be ok and carry me away from the hurt and to a little cozy castle cabin where we can live together forever and I can be on his royal health insurance so I can go see the doctor. Dear Lord please make this happen and make my belly okay.

Also I have to be up at 5:45.
With no fiancé in sight.
Saddest day.

It seems like when you really need someone, they aren't there. Not on purpose (or maybe), but it just sucks when you're in pain and there's no one to make you feel ok :(

Ahh November.

I can't believe it's November. I think I said the same thing for October, but really, this semester of nursing school is almost over, Thanksgiving is approaching, and then soon Christmas and my trip to Florida! And New Years! And then... the beginning of the worst 6-7 months of my life. The home stretch of nursing school. Oy.

It's only the 4th and it hasn't been entirely the best month so far. Nathan and I had a fantastic weekend that ended horribly. Fighting is the worst. I felt the worst that I have ever felt, I think. Some things were said that I didn't think I'd ever hear, from both sides. Do we still love each other? Yes. But sometimes I just don't understand why things have to escalate. When you're a little kid all your parents have to do when you're upset it pick you up and hold you and tell you everything is okay. And it is. I just wish that instead of words, that's what would happen to me.

So needless to say, I have been stress eating all day. It's unfortunately what happens when I am upset/clueless. I hate it.

So, I have been looking online at wedding things and house things for my first real home and Christmas things that I want, but cannot have. Ahh life. (I am totally registering at Anthropologie for my wedding, my babies, and anything else I can register for).

Fair fun!

Nathan came back! I am happy and whole again!

We spent Friday celebrating at Longhorn (yummy!) and then we went to the Fair with my mom and brother. We ate boiled peanuts (a first for me (and last)), pizza, corn dogs, ice cream, funnel cake, a turkey leg, and onion rings! Nathan won me a chihuahua (we found out it was actually Desperaux, but I am still calling him chihuahua), a banana, and a cat picture that says "I love you" in Comic Sans. Good, hokey fair fun! He also got me a cowboy hat for novelty value. We rode the Ferris wheel and another ride where I laughed my butt off out of terror. Seriously. It was wonderful!

This is our Fall Break at school until Wednesday, but I have a test Wednesday, and I have to work Tuesday, so I really only get one day off. Lame.

Anyway, I am probably going to meet Nathan for lunch at work today (since it's almost 1 in the morning), and clean my house a bit!

Nothing super exciting, but updates nonetheless.

Ferris wheel love!

Me and my mom!
This corn dog was suggestive...
