::insert sad face::

well 3 days of work are over.
after last night's AWFUL night... the ER was very empty tonight. thank goodness.
last night it was like a 4 hour wait... just so many people.
i suppose the word got out around town-
therefore causing NO ONE to come in today.
which is quite alright with me.

the coworkers were nice to me as well today... just floated around helping people. which was so good since im sickly. the nose is out of control stopped. pressure in the ears. weak. tired. cough.
lovely. not what i wanted for my next 3 days... but ohs well.

hoping some gooood longggg sleep will help.
and doing NOTHING tomorrow...
except a trip to the post office.

3 days off to enjoy with my hubby
2 days of work.
then home sweet home.
im sooooooo excited!!!!

a week later off to the outer banks.

then a couple weeks later its off to the BFFs in FLORIDA!!!

seriously. life is so good.
God is so giving.
His blessings are just poured down upon us.

love. peace. and health to you!
im off to bed....

sniffles

not exactly a fan of colds...
and i have a killer one.
pressure in the ears. cough. runny nose. sore throat.
ugh. in capital letters. UGH!

and worse of all.... i have two FULL days of work to go.
no fun at all.

oh well. just counting down the days until home... NEXT WEEK!
i do have quite a bit to do this weekend... but it will be fun since after today ryan is home free!

christmas time

i love christmas time.
it makes me happy and joyful.
time to see family.
share some love.
celebrate Jesus's birth.
just an all around great time of year.
i love the music.
the christmas get togethers.
buying presents for people.
wrapping presents.
baking cookies.
lighting candles.
i just love this time of year....

....it was also this time of year- five amazing years ago- when ryan and i became
"an item"
right here. on this bench.



im excited about the fun month ahead-
two big long road trips, our first christmas morning together, seeing our families, christmas eve service, holiday parties, and really just being together and enjoying life

enjoy the month ahead.
forget about stress- this should be a happy time of year.
full of fun & excitement.
i mean it is Jesus's birthday and all.
its time to party! :)

love & peace to you all.

ive been away....

and i apologize.

truly.

but while ive been gone, ive done a lot.

i know... ive missed two "mulititude mondays" so ill be making up for that in the following.

pictures & thankful journal entries.

so my apologies for disappearing for a week...
ill try not to do that again.
hope this december day finds you all well.
much love & peace
