getting into the groove of things...

things have been weird lately.

i am feeling better (health wise) since the last time i wrote. the doctor figured out what was causing me the pain and has given me medication in hopes that it will solve the problem. we won't know for a month because it takes that long for it to adjust to my body. but yeah, if it works, i'll wait a month.

i am working a lot but that is okay. even though i am working so much, i find myself watching more and more episodes of m*a*s*h (probably more than any healthy person should, but hey, i like it!) i get a lot of homework done, most of the time that i am at the desk so that makes it nice. i am having to switch around my desk hours this semester, but it is all good.

so about a handful of my friends have gotten engaged since christmas break, and not to mention all the ones that got engaged last semster. CRAZINESS! i am anxiously awaiting my engagement, but it will come when it comes. i want to be totally surprise and i don't want to be expecting it either. i am trying not to think about it and get it out of my mind, but it makes it hard when a lot of my friends are getting engaged. but then on the other hand i have a lot of friends that don't even have boyfriends and here i am complaining that kevin isn't moving fast enough when i clearly have nothing to complain about. but that is me for you...

i am going home next weekend and i am really excited! my brother even took off saturday so we can hang out all weekend together! woot woot! dad said he was even going to take us all out to eat, which is great considering the financial situation my parents are in right now (making a little less than hoxie (dad mainly), making TWO house payments, and dealing with a higher cost of living in johnson county) but they are making it through...they are strong! and that is why i love them so incredibly much!

i love everyone and i miss talking to you all a lot! so give me a ring-a-ting! i am free almost every night but tuesdays i am in class..but give me a ring! i would LOVE to hear your voices!! muuahhh!

trying to get back into the groove of things

i am happy to be back in manhattan and i am excited to maybe get to see my first snow of the season! woot woot!

classes are now back in session. i keep telling myself i only have 3 more semesters and that i can do this. lack of sleep and too many things to do doesn't help much but i'll make it through. i always do.

christmas was good. went home with kevin and that was amazing as always. it was a little hard this time because his grandma went to be with our Lord and Savior. it was really a blessing, she was suffering and hadn't been herself for a long time. the day after christmas was the funeral and then we headed to my house. he said for a couple of days, he nursed me while i fought the flu (he is a fabulous boyfriend!), and my family just loves him to death! YAY! here's a few of my top gifts, woot woot:

1. a BEAUTIFUL purple necklace from kevin

2. a watch also from kevin (he finally got sick of me wearing a broken watch)

3. a feather bed topper for my bed (lets just say its...AMAZING)

4. a GREEN eddie bauer bookbag (imagine who that was from...hehe)

5. money (of course that is always good...but sad thing is i had to use it on getting my car fixed...tear!)

6. the best gift of all was being able to spend christmas with the people i love the most :D

having some medical problems (i know i am always having medical problems!)...not sure what just know that i randomly hurt in my back some explanitory some not. kevin keeps telling me to go to the doctor but they are just going to give me medication that is in turn going to make me hurt even more (i'll spare you the details). i do have a doctor's appointment on wednesday (that love yearly woman thing). she is my regular doctor to, so i'll talk to her then. until then, my heating pad is my new best friend! but don't worry, i am strong and i'll make it through. im not dying and i have been in a lot worse pain. heck, my dad is pain all the time with his bad knees and out of wack hips. if he can stand it so can i!

i am missing people i haven't seen in so long. i saw a friend over christmas break that i hadn't seen in 2 years...i hate having to go that long. and my best friend from high school came over to see me and i hadn't seen her in like 3 months and we even live in the same town now. and then there is my beautiful friend that lives in tuscon and god knows how long i haven't seen her (i miss you shannon rose, very much!!)! then there is sarah, we are going on 4 years of having not seen each...way too freaking long if you ask me!! i love you all very much!!

good luck getting back into the swing of school and work! God bless!.
