If it doesn't kill you...

I'm so not a person to take days off.  This past school year I have taken a lot of days off (mostly for a funeral and my outpatient surgery).

Tomorrow I am taking a day off to write a proposal for Grad school.  This semester has been so tough.  With added personal issues I have just wanted to crawl in a hole and call it quits.  I'm not looking forward to this 30 page paper I'm going to have to tackle and stop procrastinating about. Hopefully I will not turn out a terrible product!!!

April showers

The past month has been a very crazy time.  From getting the happiest news of my life to spending a week waiting for what ended up being the saddest news of my life.

It has been a roller coaster of emotions since March 20th and a "ride" that ended up with me encountering my first hospital visit for out patient surgery. 

The major lesson I learned would be that of faith.  Putting my faith in God's hands and giving him full control has been the only thing that has kept me somewhat sane during this time. The best thing from this ordeal would be discovering what wonderful people I have in my life.  Through it all Justin was my rock, my strength, my hope.  I'm so lucky to have such a wonderful man in my life. He was so strong throughout it all and let me cry, scream, and just be sad without saying anything just showing me love and support.   I had many messages, phone calls and well wishes from those that I love.  I even had the offer from a friend's mom  that she would drop everything and come up and take care of me while mom and dad were out of town.  That showed me how much I matter.  That same friend was in daily contact with me through it all and I hope she knows how blessed I am to have her in my life.  

Tomorrow is my post-op appointment.  I don't foresee that it will be a big deal.  Just an in and out kinda of visit.

Happy Valentine's Day!

I spent the day in class...

Justin cooked a yummy dinner so that made the day of class not so bad.

Happiness

It amazes me how much life can consume us at times.  This weekend was a great example.  After two days of class I was really stressed.  After a small breakdown (or during) I always feel the need to talk to someone that understands me!  When in dire need of a friendly voice I always try to call Ashley or Erika.  

Last night I got in touch with Erika.  Not expecting to hear anything but they same. "Not too much how about you?" I was pleasantly surprised to hear a big smile coming across the phone!  That totally turned my mood from poor pitiful me to happiness for my dear friend!!!  So thanks E for making my long day have a happy ending!!!

Baby it's cold outside

I really hate the cold.  a windchill that does not register in the positive should be banned!  Anyway, yet another snow-day.  We may never finish up this year. 

 I hope it is warm in your world today.

Snow Day

Yesterday was a cold, icy day.  We couldn't make it up the driveway in Justin's car on Saturday night so we did not dare to attempt going anywhere until there was a bit of a thaw. 

This morning we had about 4 inches of snow.  Of course school was out so I called my sister-in-law to see if she wanted me to keep the boys. We spent a lot of time out in the snow, they probably went down the hill a hundred times!  During out afternoon session the neighbors came over and they spent forever wearing down the snow to the grass (maybe even mud!)

 

We wrapped up the evening at Todd and Tracy's where we used inter-tubes to fly down their hill and enjoyed a nice snowy fire and a yummy dinner!

Let's see how this goes

I'm not much of a writer.

But maybe I can find a way to share the little things that are cool to me or I will maintain a pretty boring blog!
