This & That

Even though school started back up just yesterday, I am SUPER busy! However, I do have enough time for a quickie blog post.

I don't know why I was thinking about this the other night, but I am extremely grateful Colby is not in the Army, Military, etc. Its not that I don't appreciate what those men do for us, because I definitely do, I'm just glad Colby isn't one of those guys. I can't even begin to imagine how hard it is for women out there who never know where their husbands are and don't know when they'll even get a chance to talk to them again. That takes a special kind of courage that no one wants to have to possess. And imagine if the women had children- how hard that would be! Half of the time it would be as if you weren't even married at all! I'm just so blessed that I have a fiance' that I get to be with everyday. Other women are blessed to be able to say "My husband is the reason you have freedom."

The other night I had such a crazy vivid dream about our wedding. I'm not going to go into detail, but it was quite the wedding! When I woke up and got to thinking about it, I realized that even though it is in January, its coming up so fast! And I CAN NOT wait!! Sometimes just thinking about it brings a tear to my eye, but just about anything and everything does that! Not only can I not wait for our wedding, I can't wait for our marriage either. Mrs. Pierce. I must say, when I write it in cursive my soon-to-be new name looks pretty snazzy. I'm so lucky to have found the person God made specifically for me. These days people throw marriage and love around like its replaceable. And although divorce and remarriage are options, we should not think like that. People need to go into marriage thinking "This is it" and not "If it doesn't work out, life goes on." I'm proud to say Colby is the only man I have loved, and the only man I will love. In a romantic way of course.

I wish I had more to write about than Colby today, but the only other thing occupying my mind right now is how much school work I have, & you don't want to hear about that.

Spring Break

This has been the most uneventful, lazy, boring spring break of my life. I'm glad I had the time to recover, but OH MY GOSH! I'm bored out of my mind every day. I did get out today for a little shopping, but thats the extent of my break. Next year my HUSBAND and I are going to Padre, I've already decided, even if we have real jobs. Well, hopefully we can.

I got a certificate for a shoe store I love so I ordered another pair of extremely cute shoes!!

I've always liked shoes, but I think I've just started to become a shoe fanatic, years after everybody else. I even got a new pair of pink bowling shoes!! Those were more of an investment though. As much as Colby and I like to bowl we were spending way too much on renting shoes, so we both just bought a pair. Can't wait until I'm allowed to pick up heavy things again and go bowl!

Beauty Is Pain

Well, the hard part is done and over with! I must admit, getting a breast augmentation is much more painful than I thought it would be. The day of when I came home I was pretty much drugged up and don't remember much so I was managing the pain just fine. However, the second day was awful. Even with the pain pills I was still uncomfortable. If I was laying down I couldn't get myself up. Colby had to wash my hair for me and help me dress. He was such a big help, I don't know what I would have done without him. It was pretty much the same for the next few days. Today was the first day I didn't have to take any pain pills, until about an hour ago. I still have a hard time lifting anything too heavy and raising my arms, but thats what was expected. Pain and all, I would have to say it was worth it.

Other than that, nothing else is new. I'm so glad its spring break because I have quite a bit of homework/studying and plenty of time to do it! I must say though, I have been going stir crazy! I don't think I could stay home all day every day. If I was going to not work, I would need to have kids to keep me company! Otherwise I think I would go shopping every day. I can't wait until I can drive again so I can go do something!

Thats it!

The Big Day

The big day is fast approaching, and by fast approaching I mean 14 hours! It sort of feels unreal. The nervousness kind of reminds me of when I was about to get my tattoo. I knew it was going to be painful, I just chose not to think about it. And that is exactly what I am doing now, not thinking about it. Except now even when I don't think about it the thought is still lingering in the back of my mind. The nurse called me today to talk about my medication and went over the procedure and answered some questions so that put me a little at ease. I'm just ready to get it over with that way I don't have to wait anymore! I finally told my Grandma, who I thought would be really upset with me, but she just laughed! It was such a relief.

Anyway, keep me and my family in your prayers, they'll need peace (especially my mom). I'll write again once I'm feeling up to it!

Until then..

Just Rambling On

Times like these make me wonder why I even started a blog, I literally have NO time to keep up with it! I don't even have time to read my Cosmo! Thank goodness spring break is in a week and a half! My time will be spent recovering from my surgery that is NEXT WEEK! I'm so excited/anxious/nervous!! I had to get blood work done the other day and that alone freaked me out. So I'm sure as the day gets close I'm going to be a big ball of nerves. I'm really excited about the overall results thought. I've known I was going to do this since high school, I just can't believe I'm actually making it happen. I am not looking forward to hearing the reactions from my family though. I know some will be understanding, but not most. Most will be judgmental and turn their noses, but God will judge them in the same way they judge me so I shouldn't worry about it.

Speaking of God, we haven't been to church in three weeks!! I hate it! I feel like I'm missing out on learning. We were out of town one weekend so I couldn't help that, but the other two times we just overslept. We are going this Sunday though, so that makes me feel better.

Thats about it.
