Just Say it
Why can't I just say it...exactly what I am thinking.
I want to just say:
I want to marry you,
Start a family
And live happily ever after.
Or:
You are the highlight of my day...
Everyday
I think you are wonderful,
you make my heart smile.

Baby Envy...
OK I am guilty...I have baby envy, bad.
I think it has really struck a chord now that I am done with school and have time to breathe.
A few weekends ago, we (Joe and I) were at an informal high school reunion with some of Joe's buddies and I couldn't help having baby envy.
It started out as just a mild case at first when I was reaching into our cooler to grab a soda and I felt someone tugging on my shorts. So I picked him up and made friends with a the little boy. I had no idea who he or his mom were, but we hit it off great and he became my little buddy for a while. He was cute as a button and was much funner than they adults that were there. Later on, I couldn't resist asking some other complete stranger there to hold her baby too. I don't know what has come over me. I haven't ever really been a "baby" person in my entire life...but I am turning into one. Its way weird...I think that my "clock" is just ticking!
One of my BFF's from nursing school just found out she's prego, I have 2 cousin's that just had babies...I am surrounded by them and I REALLY want one of my own.
Now...what? Maybe I should try to get a job in the NICU...or will that make it worse?

The shoe...
I often see the "shoe" on the side of the road when I am driving and I wonder how in the heck did it get there?
Why is it always just one shoe? Who lost only one shoe? How did it get there?
These questions about the road shoe's have plagued me for years. Anyone else wonder about the shoe's lying randomly on the side of the road?
I fantasize about why they are really there...like they are clues for the CSI people to find or some one was trying to smash that annoying bug and oops, they threw their shoe out of the window.
OK...so it is weird, but it makes me wonder everytime I see one.
Today I saw a Nike Shox...who would drop/lose/throw a $90 pair of shoes out the window?

A bribe of sorts...
So while I was on vacation in Florida, we had the wonderful opportunity of being right next door to an outlet mall. Knowing full well of all of this before I left I did some research and found out that they had a Coach store in the outlet. I had some money set aside to buy myself a bribe.
I get to have, use and enjoy this purse...when I lose 20 lbs! Oh yeah and the wallet too since it was such a steal at the outlet. I got the purse and the wallet for $85! Now I just have to lose 20 lbs! UGH! But I am down 3 so 17 more to go!

Almost a year later....
How different my life is from a year ago!
I think back on what it was like a year ago and I am SO much happier now than I was a year ago. I am happy to report that I rarely think of my ex and when I do its not with anything but question about something at the house or some bill I got in the mail.
I do miss my old house though...terribly. With spring coming up I want to see the flowers that I planted and to play in the dirt. I want to sit outside on the patio that I never had a chance to really enjoy...to sit on the patio furniture MY parents bought us as a wedding present. I miss the quiet of the house and the solitude of curling up on the couch with a good book. As I think back on it, I did live with Chris, but I was so alone...a lot of the time. I actually enjoyed it and I miss that now. I miss having a space that is mine the most though, which is why I miss the house. I love my parents to pieces, but they constantly have the TV or the vacuum running. Joe too is the same way...always has the TV on when he gets home from work. I miss quiet...
I do get plenty of opportunity for quiet before Joe gets home, so its nice. I like having the chance to clear my head and listen to the sounds of the house settling. I'll admit though...that having the quiet leads me to a nap some of the time.
School is winding its way down to the end as well. I can't believe I've made it! Despite all of the crap that I've been through I've done it and done it well! I owe a debt of gratitude to my study group for keeping me on my toes in theory. We are all taking a trip to Florida the week after pinning!
I have grown so much as nurse in the past year, that I often surprise myself with all that I know. There is a TON of things I don't know too. I am so proud of myself having successfully managed a case load of 5 patients on the floor that I am currently on and to have done it with ease really. Yes it was busy and at time hectic...but I did it! I took the load of patients that the nurses on the floor take...whew! I manage to suprise myself with all that I can handle on a daily basis. Only 2 more weeks left!!!
My love life is fantastic! Next week will be a year from a our 1st date! Things are going great. I do wonder though...if he'll ask one of the big question's soon? Only time will tell, I am not anxious to push either issue, but I do wonder about it.
In the next few months, my life will change tremendously and I embrace what lies ahead...I can't wait!
