The title is just a scrolling scan of what my brain looks like right now.
But besides that.... WOW what an awesome weekend!!!!!!! Our 3-day meeting at Zions Rest Primitive Baptist this weekend was so incredibly blessed. Each message was absolutely spot-on for our church, the singing was wonderful, the fellowship was fantastic, the food was abundant (as evidenced by the tightness of my blue jeans today...)...... I mean it was really, really, really great.
I have to say, while I love the being in church part, listening to the messages and all, I think my favorite thing is sitting in Elder Charles' living room listening to the preachers talk afterwards. There's a lot of wisdom to be gleaned sitting and listening there.

Anyways, it's GO Time. Paper due: tomorrow. Final physiology test: Wednesday.

Countdown: 12 DAYS!!!!

I really, really need everybody's prayers. I'm really struggling physically for some reason. Well allergies and asthma are the reason, but still. Yesterday while undergoing allergy testing I had a bad reaction and started going into respiratory distress - what our favorite nurses, Elyow'eynay and Cal-El, like to call "anaphylaxsis." I won't go into all the details of how it happened and all the crap they gave me to stop it (epi shots are SO freakin' weird), but I'm still having to be thoroughly Benadryled today. Oh, and I had to take a lab final at 8 am in this condition.
Basically, I just need prayers. That's all. I just feel really down and upset about the whole thing, and mostly scared. Because that was literally the scariest thing that has ever happened to me.

Countdown: 17 days.

Praise the Lord!!!

I got a job!!!!!!!!!!! YAY!!!!!!
Dustin and I aren't going to go broke and starve....
not that I was particularly certain we were before, but it certainly makes me feel better that we shall now better be able to fight that great evil of the world:

CREDIT CARD DEBT.

And if Adam gets the job he is praying for, he and I will be co-workers! Yay! So we could form a PB coalition in the ER of the Catholic hospital we work for. Fun.

In other news, Dustin is moving into our new apartment this week. This activity and joy over it makes him so incredibly hyper, I think I might strangulate him. But then he turns and smiles at me and says "Can you believe it? This is OUR apartment!!" and I can't strangle him
Ah the joys of love in times of stress.

Countdown to the wedding: 25 days.

"Wedding-Brain"

I think I'm literally about to go crazy. I think I'm suffering from "nervous exhaustion" as they would have called it back in the 50's (before medical ethics existed...). So my so-called "Spring Break" consisted of 5 million wedding errands, phone calls, and bills. However, we were given a Tool&Gadget Party and a very lovely tea where we were given a lot of wonderful gifts. Much thanks to Emily, Laura, Doris, Laurel, and Aunt Lauretta and everyone else who helped out for that. It was truly lovely.

At the tea Sunday I looked up and saw a familiar face come through the door. I said "Is that who I think it is?" Of course it wasn't, because in my wedding-brain delirium I thought it was Queen Lynn for a second, until I realized it was actually my dad's partner's wife, Lorayne Vague. She was just as sweet as I'm sure Queen Lynn would have been, but still... the mind plays cruel tricks, doesn't it? *sigh*

Side note: Wouldn't you go through life feeling awfully ambiguous if your last name was "Vague"?
