T-Shirts

Today was just one of those days. And also a day I was reminded the Lord puts people in our lives for a reason, no matter how small the incident may seem. 

I've had four tests in a row. Late nights...

 

Today I had 140 minutes to make it to Cheyenne and back in time to take a lab test in class. Why did I go to Cheyenne? To turn in this baby. My dad randomly called me this morning while I was on the road ready to turn the application in and calmed my nerves. Thanks Dad! And Mom texted me too same time!

So yeah, it's in! Please pray for me!


I was just frustrated because I was on a time crunch, and the trip to Cheyenne involves mountains yadda yadda. So when I arrived back in Laramie late to class, I was hiding out in the hallway listening in on the last 8 min of the lecture section of my Anatomy class. Larry the janitor who is just so sweet came up to talk to me right in front of the doorway, and I quickly let him know I was sneaking around... this professor loves to make a big deal when you walk in late, so I was going to sneak in when everyone came back from break for the quiz and second lecture. He was super funny because he asked, "Which class?" and when I told him who it was he did the big "Ohh..." and thought it was hilarious because this professor is so notorious for late-walk-ins. I told Larry why I was late and sneaking around and that I had just had a plain-old bad day. He pointed to his shirt and said, "Well these shirts are free in Student Services, go get one!"

Larry, you are awesome and you don't know how happy that little gesture made me! I had to get the color he had just to remember that!



Ain't that the truth.

Then Austin surprised me with a UW Law school shirt!



One of my close friends texted me today when Austin left for his studies, and when I was feeling lonely. Xoxo to you!

The cherry on top of the day was when my little pen pal Miss Mia (my little sister) sent a letter that I received today. I always begin my letter with: From the Land of the Jackalopes. I asked her to draw me a Jackalope, and I got to open this little guy up smiling at me ;)

I love all you people in my life. You make it the best. 


xoxo, From the Land of the Jackalopes

The Last Stretch

I am on the last little stretch before the surgery! It's amazing how in denial I can still be, thinking that I do not have anything wrong. But then you get a wake up call when your body does funky things you can't stop, and then you fall down the stairs twice. Once I popped my shoulder, and the second I popped a hip and broke my back molar coming down on my side. So I got that tooth fixed ASAP, thank the heavens it didn't damage any roots! At the dentist my mouth was opened for an extended period of time, and needles were involved. Just when you think you have this whole Dystonia thing under control.... another reminder! I got lock jaw while working as a floor nurse! My jaw had increasing pain through the week, and I revisited the dentist. Nothing wrong with my tooth. At work, it sealed shut (and not to be gross) but when you have an intense cramp like that, it causes immense pain. I do in fact throw up sometimes from the pain. Well if your mouth seals... and tons...

Call Me a SAHM in Training

Stay at Home Mom (SAHM)  Besides a medical leave and two maternity leaves, I’ve always been a full-time plus on call nurse mom. I am now almost two months into being a SAHM and I would have to still say I’m training! A lot of you have told me routine is so important, and I’ve been trying my darndest to do that. We do library time or errands in the morning, naptime and quiet time after lunch, and art and outdoor/indoor active  play until dad comes home! Some days it blows up in my face, much like what we’d call a s-tshow at work, haha! Except these are my monkeys and my circus! But mostly because I am learning and loving it, too. I struggle with anxiety and depression. Ever since I was little. My post-partum depression with R was so difficult. I am so lucky to have an incredible husband and health team that honestly kept me alive during that time. Luckily, I was treated prior to giving birth to A too because a) it was known I get PPD and b) it’s better and easier to tr...

Sunday Eats

Finals are upon us! Wish us luck!  So a little about life lately... or you can skip to the awesome food at the bottom lol. Well, we might need that luck especially cause I kicked a stool on accident in the print lab and broke two toes all crazy like. Then proceeded in my 12 hour no-break printing frenzy standing on them dang toes.... and sick.....lol! That's what I get for not wearing my brace. Good thing we are done with Insanity! That's right, you heard us! Done with Insanity, the 9 week program :D We both are going to take our pictures soon and post them! We are doing hip hop abs for the next two weeks as finals are happening (and it's less intense on my toes) then starting Insanity all over. Yes, we are insane thank you ;) We actually were kind of freaking out because this fall, we apply to law and nursing school! We finish in April, but will hear most likely in the winter where we will head out to.  I might wait to apply until Austin chooses a scho...
