Showers

After all the awesome wedding gifts Corey and I have been getting I can't wait to move and set up our "house!" We had a shower this past Saturday and then one on Sunday. Bed Bath and Beyond in Paducah is throwing Corey a shower this weekend. Yay! I can't believe it's almost here. I was talking to some friends at church on Sunday. They were saying how Corey and I should try to join their Community Group. They just lost a couple and we could step into their spot. That would be awesome! I'm really just rambling but wanted to give an update since it's been almost a month. I've really slacked off on my picture taking here lately. The next update you get will probably be wedding pictures!

Family

I feel so overwhelmed with love right now. I LOVE my family so much. We had a going away pigfest for my cousin Mike tonight. He's leaving on the 31st to go to Iraq for a YEAR. I'm so proud of him but I will miss him and worry about him inevitably. If you think about it, please pray for him and his unit. My family is AWESOME!!!

Soon

 52 Days!  Augh!  So much to do but I'm so excited to be married!  Woot!  Woot!

Snow

I forgot to post this picture I took last week of the snow. I just love how peaceful snow is.

Dreams again

Oh man, the dreams I've been having lately are CRAZY. Very realistic. I always dream more and remember them when I'm getting plenty of sleep every night. So this is a good sign.

I got to spend the weekend with Corey and his family and I really enjoyed getting away from Jackson for a weekend. The drive is a bummer though. We got a suit and all the other suit stuffs for Corey and we got to eat sushi at our favorite sushi place in Paducah. Corey will be coming to visit me for part of his spring break. We need to get our pre-marital counseling done while he's here. And look for a house in Paris.

This coming weekend I'll be on the road with the Fellowship youth group! We are taking a trip to Atlanta to Six Flags, Andy Stanley's church and WinterJam concert in Nashville. I'm super pumped about spending time with some of my girls. Especially since I won't get to see them every week once I get married.

I've been with these girls since 7th grade. I have really enjoyed watching them learn and mature in Christ. They are amazing. I'm really going to miss being closly involved in their lives. But Corey and I will probably be moving back to Jackson once he graduates in May 2010. So watch out girls!

It's been a tough week

Three times this week I stood in the room while the doctor delivered the news. Lymphoma, melanoma and a brain tumor. Three days in a row I watched the emotions run across the faces of three very young individuals and their family members. Three days in a row I had to step in after the doctor left the room and explain what we needed to do next. I almost felt responsible for their grief but I know the images I took could save their lives. We might have caught it in time. We might have.

Sleep

Last night I slept about 10 or 11 hours. Tonight I went to bed early because I needed to get up early to take Dad to have eye surgery. I even took something so I could go to sleep. Here I am at four am wide awake. I think I slept about five hours tonight. Elusive sleep is so frustrating. One of these days I hope to be on the same schedule as the rest of the world. Work during the day, sleep at normal hours. For now, I'm here wide awake at four am.

You know, I'm going to leave that paragraph above. One thing I have noticed lately is my negativity. I don't know where it's coming from but I don't like it. I don't want to be Negative Nancy. I want to be a positive person in all situations. This is the main thing I'm asking God to work on right now in my life.
