As Time Goes By (a.k.a. I'm A Slacker)

I'm a bloggy slacker.

 So, to the blogosphere,

 I'm Sorry!

 I started my new job

 (YAY)

 and so that has been taking up a lot of time

 with orientation

 and then actually being on the floor (eek!)

 but it's nice to finally be a "Real Nurse"

 (which is what I'm convinced RN really stands for lol)

 even though a lot of days 

 I forget that I'm not a student anymore.

I had a patient who found out I was married to the Air Force,

 and from then on every time I walked into the room he would raise an eyebrow and say,

 "Oh, look. Fly Boy's wife is back"

 LOL

 Made me chuckle.

 Things with the wedding have been going well - 

 I have kind of a dilemma though.

 I have a very good friend from college,

 who I had originally asked to be in the wedding last year,

 but she disappeared off the face of the earth a few months ago,

 and I figured we were at odds over something I was unaware of.

 I tried to re-establish contact, with no luck.

 I shrugged, and moved on.

 Suddenly, she contacted me out of the blue today.

 Problem herein lies,

 that I planned the wedding in the meantime,

 and since I never expected to hear from her again,

 asked other people.

 Sigh.

 What to do?

 BE and I have been busy lately,

 celebrating our One Year anniversary a little early.

 We went to Disney World!! 

 A first time for the hubs.

 We ate SO. MUCH. FOOD.

 Oh my word.

 It was ridiculous.

 But for anyone who ever wondered,

 October is apparently the best time of the year to go to Disney,

 because we didn't wait in a single line at any park over 30 minutes.

 It was bliss,

 especially since I've experienced Disney during the summer.

 Torture?

 Doesn't even do it justice.

 It was a wonderful trip and we enjoyed being together,

 being silly,

 and remembering why we're "bestest good friends".

 I can't believe it's been a year already.

 The best year of my life :)

 Hopefully that bodes more amazing years to come.

We went to the Magic Kingdom early one morning

 to watch Mickey come in on the train and open the park for the day,

 and I started crying when they played

 "When You Wish Upon A Star"

 and welcomed everyone in.

 And my wonderful husband just grabbed my hand,

 squeezed it silently three times for "I Love You"

 and was sweet enough to not laugh at me.

 What's your favorite anniversary memory?

Do you and your significant other have any special little unspoken tokens of affection like our hand squeezes?

 I hope you have a MAGICAL day :)

 

Oh, Wednesday

Well, today is back to Day One with the hubs - CSO school officially began for him bright and early this morning (the alarm went off around 0430 and I wanted to punch him), so I'm left to tackle my NCLEX-RN studying alone, which I thought would be a good thing but in reality has completely and totally killed my motivation with no one in the background like a second father telling me to STUDY! constantly. So Animal Cops Houston has been the majority of my morning lol (Buster watches tv if there are dogs on it, and we're all about some justice seeing as how he was a humane society dog himself). While my husband struggles to survive death by powerpoint, I am left to stare slack-faced at my computer screen for the rest of the day, and try to break it up with chores around the house as I go.

I am pretty excited to be going to see Winnie the Pooh in theaters this Friday - judge me all you want but I LOVE those old stories and can't wait to see what they did with it in movie form. You are never too old for Disney.

One week from today I FINALLY have my GYN appointment. Only took me over a month of fighting to get it. You would think being on your "week" for over a month would be considered slightly emergent - guess not. Luckily I have stopped (for longer than two days this time - WOOHOO!!) and so BE and I are back on the baby-making warpath. I am treating this like a personal battle against my own body - and trying to overcome my faith doubts in the process. It's hard seeing people like Casey Anthony and young adolescents having children and then look at us - married with a home, the finances to support it, and all the love in the world to give - and make sense of it. Sometimes it's easy to convince myself that either God has abandoned me or that he doesn't hear me when I fall on my face and pray. It's easy to waiver in faith when your body doesn't work "the way it's supposed to". Somehow I have to trust that he knows my heart and how badly I want this, and trust that he has the power to make it happen. Fingers crossed that he will.
