Gettin' Things Done By Working Hard

I think the title of this post pretty much sums up the last couple of days. I have interviewed two photographers and just made a decision on one of them. I am very excited to check that off of my list of things to do for wedding planning. I also have a cake baker and that is very exciting also.

Today, I finally got all of my work caught up. I didn't think there was such a thing as "caught up" in the medical field but I only have a few little odds and ends to do for the morning. I hope that I can finally get a systematic approach to my new job responsibilities and tackle those each day as to not leave anything for the next day. We will see how that goes.

I have already gotten all of my things together for Jessie's bridal shower that we are throwing her on Saturday. That is a sigh of relief. But, I just don't know what I will wear? I am usually pretty tan by this time of year because of spring break but since I don't have a spring break and due to the fact that I work till 9 pm every nite but Fridays I haven't had the time to tan and take care of myself. So, my pale skin is definately limiting what I will wear! UGH! I HATE LIMITATIONS!!

Caleb is in Alabama on my family's property hunting. He left Sunday afternoon while I was at Pottery Barn decorating class. He is supposed to be coming back tomorrow night but he always changes his plans and wants to stay longer. He just had to be in Alabama for the opening day of turkey season. Boys will be boys is all I can say.

Last nite, I had the WORST night of sleep I think I have had since I moved into this house which was 3 years ago! Also, I think we have renters for the house so Caleb and I will be moving out to separate residences in May. That is exciting for the new beginning but it makes me very nervous because I know what my life will be changing. I will no longer have a 1 mile commute to work and that is definitely going to be hard! Speaking of hard, we have a couple of hard decisions to make. First, we went to look for a wedding band for me and my ring is custom so I thought I would be able to find something that could at least kinda go with my ring but that is not the case. I think that I am going to have to have a band designed and that is going to be more expensive. Secondly, we have to make a decision in the next couple of months as to if we are going to build a house for ourselves or if we are going to let Caleb's parents build an garage apartment and us just live in it for a year or two till we want to build us a house. There are soo many things to think about and to consider I begin to feel overwhelmed with the uncertainties.

I can't wait for Caleb to return from his hunting trip because there is a lot of work to be done here. I also miss my friends from home and can't wait to see them all this weekend! I miss Amy too!! I haven't seen her in like a month! I want to see how baby Callie is growing! I know she is growing up before our eyes! There is not enough time in the day to do everything that I need to do.

On a happy note, my grandmother who has been battling severe stage 4 breast cancer for a year now got a good report last Friday. Praise god for the "vanishing spots on her lung and spinal column". She still goes once a month for the infusions and takes the breast cancer pill everyday but she is a survivor. She's 80!! She comes from the time when people worked hard everyday for what they have. I don't think many of us work physically hard and are really physically, emotionally, and mentally tired when the day comes to an end. If we were this world would be a much better place! So, I promise that I will always do my best everyday day in and day out. I always treat patients like I would want to be treated if I were in their situation.

Praise to God for the good report and thanks to all who are praying for my NaNa!
FIGHT LIKE A GIRL!
