December 25th in his eyes

Christmas morning started off different for me... I knew I was going to propose to the woman I was completely in love with.  Although I was certain she would say yes (from the fact of her reminding me constantly to do it) I had never been more nervous and anxious in my entire life!  My proposal plan was in the christmas gift.  I got her a snow globe with our pictures inside of it and a recorded voice that popped the question.  As that would happen I would kneel down with the ring and she would immediately say yes. I was praying that all would be well...There was only one thing on my mind that day, what would happen in the entire minute of that proposal.

When we arrived to the Roseman's home, I tried to find a time when I could talk to Sarah's dad Kelly to ask permission to marry his daughter. When the moment arrived for that, he was in the garage looking for things. As I was about to ask, Sarah walked in and saw us and immediately shut the door. I thought she knew exactly what I was up to... Later would I find out that she just didn't want to help look. HA  As soon as i asked him he immediately said absolutely. He had one thing to say... If you get married, stay married. As he said that 2 things happened to me... 1) half the nerves went away from asking the future father-in-law.... and 2) When he said his advice, I knew what was going to happen that day was exactly what I wanted and knew it was right. It was just another confirmation to me.

So, as we began opening presents Brian starts handing out gifts... about 1/4 of the way in, Brian grabs the present for her. I thought oh no! Its not the right time. He examines the bag and sees no label for who its to and sets it on the table and moves on... That was close!

Getting close to the end, that gift finally gets around to sarah. My palms are sweaty, I feel sick, and yet I'm so stoked to finally be engaged to Sarah. She opens the gift and loves it and i realize she has no idea.. Then she presses that play button on that snow globe. Everything went perfectly according to plan... except the immediate "yes" answer... Her facial expression showed so much shock that I don't think she remembered she needed to reply.  She clasped her hands to her face and started crying and then came and hugged me! I took that as the yes, but luckily I had Sarah's mom Sherrie to remind her to about that question... SHE SAID YES!!

Its been 4 days since and my head is still in the clouds... nothing feels more right... I have never been happier...

Laughter is the Best Medicine

I was really looking forward to "labor" on Labor Day. Michael and my mom were scheduled to work this holiday too which was great because that means meeting up for lunch and enjoying 30 minutes together. It's like our version of verbal communication therapy. Also, holiday pay is a great incentive for me to want to work. However, the census on the floor has been really low so many employees have been getting called off. Well Sunday night rolls around and guess what? I got put on-call. I asked Mike why he thought our census was so low right now. He replied "The hospital needs to quit telling people to get healthy!" My husband ladies and gentlemen; the problem solver. Yesterday Michael went to shoot guns with his mom. I had a lot of homework to get caught up/get ahead on so I stayed home. Later in the night I was asking how it went and when it got to the part where he was telling me about the guns he used, he mentioned using a revolver. I knew I had heard the word

The perils of the laundromat

My day started off like any other day. Woke up at 4:30, showered, got ready, ate breakfast, got dressed in my nursing scrubs and headed to the hospital. But unlike any other day, my nurse I'm supposed to precept with was not there. She traded her shift and worked yesterday instead. So what did this mean for me? I got to go home and snuggle up to my sweet hubby and our heating blanket while watching a movie! I think that's something worth waking up early for. :)  It also gave me some free time to write about our laundromat experiences. Sounds like a particularly boring topic but we've had some experiences that are anything BUT boring.  Experience #1: It was around the last week of September. We tried a new laundromat close to where I lived before we were married We also tried some new detergent. The problem with this experience was Michael could not stop itching the next day. He got some very bad hives and it was crippling his daily activities. We thought it was from

Time

Time doesn't stop for anybody. Not for the businessman who barely missed the subway, the reporter who missed the press, the athlete who crossed the finish line second, nobody. I regretfully admit that recently I have been happy about this undeniably true thought. All too often I find myself wishing time would move a second faster, a minute quicker, and a day sooner. With Michael and I both having hectic school schedules and longer hours logged in at work, I was constantly hoping for another tomorrow. But why? We are newlyweds- barely married for 5 months. I am almost done with my nursing program- should I not soak up every opportunity to learn? We have jobs in our fields of interest- at least we have the means to earn a living in a struggling economy. With the 2012 election ending yesterday, (and it's no secret it did not end in our favor) I feel a new sense of the need to enjoy every moment. Time has not stopped and life still goes on. We are still moving forward. Wh
