A Wedding and a Great Friend

A friend of mine from nursing school got married this past Saturday. I usually despise weddings because I think the amount of money put into them is just absurd, but I really did enjoy this one. Simple, sweet, and beautiful. Yummy food too! I'm not usually a cryer, but a few tears did flow down my face when my friend got choked up on his vows. I don't know what it is about a guy crying, but it just breaks my heart! Anyways, I went to the wedding with my best friend, Rachel. We don't get to see each other too much so it is always nice to get together with her. I only have one picture from the day so here it is...she said I make her look tan. I told her that's why I stay so pale, so she can look so tan. Ha! I'm also including some pictures of us through the years...

Brett's Wedding Day

1st semester of nursing school. We had no idea what we were getting into. I look like I just had botox too. (I was on Accutane, the miracle drug, and could hardly move my dried up face.)

2nd semester in clinicals

3rd semester

Induction to Sigma Theta Tau. Yes, we were overachievers. But aren't those the only nurses you would want to have?? Oh and this is also what I look like 20lbs heavier :)

Our best nursing school buds - Brett (the newlywed) and Derek. Our nicknames for them were toilet and bedpan. We don't know why though. Maybe because they made fun of me for 2 years after an incident that happened to me during my first clinical, I don't know!

Yahoo! Graduation! Although we weren't nurses, yet. Still had to take boards. But it was still an accomplishment and yes, we both passed boards:)

    Hey Kelly! Yep, that was me :-) We see Dr. Leeper @ BCC. He's great & funny :-) Love the stroller - I was wondering if you had twins when u pushed them through. :-) Your little ones are too cute. Maybe I'll see you in the dr's office... if not, at one of the POTATO meetings?? (that is when I can make it!) Thanks for saying hi on the blog!

WHAT? It seems that things tragic either happen in slow motion or too quickly and vaguely to even realize what is going on. I'm not sure which is better but the latter happened to me recently. June 5th to be exact. I won't go into details (for your benefit, not that I mind), but after a series of events, tests, and a doctor's visit, it was determined that I had suffered a miscarriage. I was 6 weeks along. Did I mention I had surgery to block my tubes over 5 years ago? Yeah. And I had nothing to worry about for over 5 years. But things can change, and they did. The medical term is "failed tubal obstruction". Ya don't say? What I had suspected was confirmed by my doctor. I wasn't even sure how to feel because my mind was so far from this situation ever happening again, the situation meaning pregnancy. Last time I became pregnant I was planning it, taking vitamins, preparing my body to house another body (or 2) for the next 9 months, but this time, I wasn...

My Dark Day

It happened exactly 3 years ago. I woke up crying. I never cry. I went on about my morning with my two 4 year olds at home. Made breakfast, brushed teeth, all the usual. But I couldn't stop crying. "Mommy, why are you crying?" I heard over and over. They had never seen me cry. All I could say was, "I don't know." My heart was racing, I had a sense of confusion all around me. I didn't know what was going on. I called Brandon at work, still crying. "Come home. I'm really upset and I don't know why." Considering the fact that I literally NEVER cried, he knew it was a big deal and came home right away. My mother in law came and got the kids. And I kept crying. The soonest I could get in to my psychiatrist was around 4:30pm that day. So Brandon stayed with me all day and then took me in. Now let me backtrack. I've been seeing a psychiatrist since I was 18. I've dealt with depression and anxiety since I was 18. I've been on psyc...
