However, if I choose not to, 20 years from now when I google "cozywithtoast" and I am reminded that it ends in 2015, I will be sad. </span><br />
<span style="color: #4c1130;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #4c1130;">So here we go. </span><br />
<span style="color: #4c1130;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #4c1130;">Recap: Last time I updated this blog, I was hoping to pass the NBCOT boards and keep my job at Florida Hospital in Palm Coast. </span><br />
<span style="color: #4c1130;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #4c1130;">Update: I did in fact pass my boards, though taking them was probably one of the worst 4 hour stretches in my life. I was mind numbingly bored but at the same time had to focus on every questions in order to not have to re-live that hell. I continued working at Florida Hospital in Palm Coast in their pediatric outpatient clinic 3 days a week as well as their inpatient acute 2 days a week. I loved it. I loved the people I worked with and I loved my patients. I did not love the 30 minute commute. Living in Lutz now *spoiler alert* that seems like very little time. In Saint Augustine, 30 minutes may as well be an hour. I worked there for a little over a year and then moved to a SNF in St. Augustine literally within a mile from our home on King St. I also loved working there, and I also loved my patients. </span><br />
<span style="color: #4c1130;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #4c1130;">Shortly after starting at St. Augustine Health & Rehab, we found out I was pregnant. This was not one of those times when we just <i>happen</i> to get pregnant. We had been trying. For over a year (which I now realize is not long at all, but when you're in the thick of it and people around you get pregnant like there's nothing to it. . . a year is a painstakingly long period of time). Through medication and drastic diet changes, we FINALLY got pregnant. If you are having trouble getting pregnant and you would like someone to talk to about it/hear what we did/are just curious you are welcome to contact me. </span><br />

<span style="color: #4c1130;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #4c1130;">I told Zach in a sweet way, hopefully I will be able to upload that video at a later time because his reaction was priceless. Soon after I found out I was pregnant (which was already early) I felt horrible and went in to see my gyno. She did a quick scan. With an exacerbated sigh and *literally* her head on my knee, she said, "Oh, I see why you're feeling so bad! Looks like you may be having triplets!" "Well, isn't God funny" I thought. Very quickly followed by tachycardia and, "God is with me, if He has blessed us with 3 babies than surely He has equipped us with the ability to care for them." I text Zach, who was parking the car because I didn't think this check was going to be anything big. As he walked into the room they asked him, "Well, how high can you count?" ---Can I just say that I didn't like this. Why would you ask him that? That sounds like he's going to be having like 9 babies because 9/10 is a high number. 3/10. . .not so high, I mean, it's still below 5. Eventually (about 30 minutes later---30 WHOLE MINUTES LATER) another scan was done on a bigger machine and I was in fact ONLY pregnant with twins. "Twins. . .2 babies. . .well I have two arms. . .I can handle that." Logic, folks. That's how I get through life. Or just blindly rambling on until I am able to catch my footing.</span><br />

<span style="color: #4c1130;">8 and a half months later, Adeline Hazel and James Ezekiel Grant came into this world at a wopping 5.5lbs and 5.9lbs. My c-section was amazing and the most comfortable I have ever felt in my life ( relatively). They were and still are amazing kids. Within weeks of their birth, Zach got a job working in Tampa as Director of Special Needs Ministry. We traded in Zachs Volvo for a minivan (if you scoff at this, you clearly don't have two kids or you opted for some higher priced SUV with worse gas mileage) to which I say, "To each their own." We moved from St. Augustine to a rental (which my lovely parents found for us) in Tampa, lived there for about 6 months then purchased our home in old Lutz. It's on a cul-de-sac, a little over a half acre of land, and we love it. I eventually started working in home health and Zach still has his job at St. James UMC. </span><br />

<span style="color: #4c1130;">We love our little life here in Lutz. We do miss our friends in St. Augustine, however we do get to visit them often. St. Augustine will always hold a strong place in our hearts. It's where we fell in love, where we graduated from and where our babies were born. </span><br />

I love my parents and I love their house. . .but I was not home. I was not home--where Zach is--AND I had a 1-1.5 hour commute to and from work every day. I was not home, I had the horrible commute, AND my second internship was not nearly as enjoyable as my first. Needless to say, those three months were the worst.<br />

But now, not only is internship over with but I also GRADUATED! WOOO-OOOOOO. As of August 19th (graduation conferral date) I am no longer a full-time student. Not only have a I graduated, but I have also found a JOB! The job part actually happened before graduation so that was nice. **pending I pass NBCOT boards** I will be in Palm Coast as a full-time Occupational Therapist working with children in an outpatient clinic and adults in inpatient therapy. I am super excited and really hoping I pass those boards! USA grads have a 98% chance of passing the boards, but I'm still super nervous. I could easily be that 2%. Also, we are all a little unsure if that 98% means the first time you pass or just that you pass after all your attempts.<br />

I take the boards on September 13th, until then I am studying, and realizing how much more productive my life is when I have a structured schedule. I feel like I should be using this time to travel or do something amazing. But realistically spending the money on travel right now would be silly and the <i>amazing</i> thing I should be doing is studying for the NBCOT so I only have to take it once. </div>

Zach is pretty much back to 100%. That whole thing was super scary and I hated every minute of it. I learned that I am not that type of woman who can put on a fake smile and say, "Everything is fine, you will be fine." I learned that I am the type of woman that immediately thinks of ALL the possible horrible things that <i>may</i> be happening and think of <i>all</i> the different ways that our lives could change. Blech. Perhaps over time I will get better at this; staying more positive when/if something scary happens to someone I love so so so much.<br />

I am currently in my last week of my first Level II Fieldwork experience and I am super pumped for my week off! Interning at Brooks Rehab has been an amazing learning experience. I could totally imagine myself working for Brooks but only time will tell! I definitely can't imagine making the drive to Jacksonville every day. That took a toll on me.<br />

Over my break Zach and I are going to spend some time at a wonderful cabin in Andrews, NC that our gracious pastors are letting us stay in. We are going hiking, whitewater rafting, and exploring the little towns including Asheville, NC. We are both super excited and can't wait to get away from everything and just spend time with each other.<br />

After a wonderful week with Zach, we drive back to Florida and then it's time for KAGDUBS! Yes, I am so dang excited. Very few weekends have the ability to top these once-a-year trips with my favorite girls. I am sure hilarious times are in our near future.<br />

In the past year + 4 days since I last wrote a post I have finished the didactic portion of Occupational Therapy school (without having to re-take one practical), I started my fifth (out of twelve) week of internship at Brooks Rehab Hospital in Jacksonville and within the last few days. . .experienced so much stress and sadness.<br />

Love is a wonderful thing. I am so beyond happy that I am married to such a wonderful man and that he loves me and we love each other. But with that comes soon much hidden dependence. I say hidden because I don't realize it's there until something happens. This past week, something did happen. And when it did, my dependence on him became so loud and alarmingly clear.<br />
A couple days ago, 5 to be exact, Zach came home from boxing annoyed because his tongue felt kinda numb. I insisted that he must have burnt it or that maybe he ate something he was kinda allergic to. That numbness slowly spread to his cheek, then the whole right side of his face. That is the point I began to break. One second, he was completely fine and healthy, then the next morning he wakes up with more numbness. WHAT'S HAPPENING!? I suspected Bell's Palsy. . . but also everything else. Because life is scary. And scary shit happens all the time. And it happens to anyone. Even the person you love most. I was at the hospital (interning) yesterday while Zach went to his primary doctor to get some feedback. His doctor referred him to a neurologist. Zach text me this information at work while I was in a hospital room waiting outside a patients room while they showered (not abnormal---it's an OT thing). The moment I read his text my mind started racing and I pretty much broke down. My instructor peaked in to check on me and make sure everything was going well with the patient. I guess he could tell something was off with my "yeahhh" response. . .I updated him/cried in his face because I have no tear-control and told him I would be fine. Needless to say I went home early that day because once I start crying I am basically physically unable to stop. This whole time Zach is trying to keep his cool and is doing an amazing job. Just trying to stay busy.<br />
This morning we went to the neurologist and she confirmed that it (most likely) is Bell's Palsy. She was so certain that she went ahead and prescribed meds for Zach. She still wanted to schedule an MRI to make sure there isn't anything else going on. Unfortunately, that will have to wait until Friday, which to me seems like a year away. So for now Zach takes his meds and continues on with life. Right now he is at youth group and then he will come home. Friday he will have his MRI around three. . .and until then I will try and hold it together and believe it's Bell's Palsy which will eventually subside and everything will be back to normal.<br />
When you love someone so much that their illness becomes your illness life gets so tricky. I feel like at that last sentence Zach might say, "Um, I'm pretty sure both sides of your face are working right now. . " but what I mean is, that damn dependence. . . I depend on him to stay healthy because when he's not. . . I'm not. I get all headachey and cryie and my body feels all weird and tired and everything is out of sorts.<br />
<br />
I love him and I am so happy that we are together. If you are the praying sort (or aren't and feel like now is a good time to try it out) please pray for swift and complete healing. . . and that when Friday at 3ish comes the MRI will show nothing but a completely healthy smart brain.<br />
<br />
Thank you.

I thought that having an Iphone would make me blog more, but I was so wrong. Now, when I take a picture I just post it directly to the internet and so many people respond that I imagine everyone in the blog-world would be bored out of their minds with the pictures if I were to post them to a blog! Sheeshmageesh! But I will type anyways because this is better than studying for Biomechanics. Right now I am in my second term at USA. We actually only have a month left and then (ya know if I pass finals) I will be a third term student! Crazy! May not seem like that far to most of you because, 1,2,3. . .such small numbers. But after third term, comes fourth term. . .which is my last term of classes! Then it's 8 months of fieldwork and then I'm done. That's basically no time at all. This term my favorite class (not at all my favorite practical) is Cadaver Lab. </span><br />

<span style="color: #4c1130;">So fun! It's insane to hold a humans heart/ foot/ lungs/ any organ in your hands and think. . .this was once in someones body who had a whole life. Who had a favorite movie, who was in love, who maybe had a cat. . . so crazy. And there are some cadavers that have had some type of surgery like a heart with a pacemaker put in, or a knee replacement and then there's the knee. . .all made out of metal. Just sitting there. So shiny. The heart is in a big ziplock bag with all these weird wires coming out of it. Those little appliances made this person live that much longer. . .then now they're here. Lying on a table helping future therapists learn about the human body. So cool. The smell though. That's the worst. </span><br />

I am trying to soak up every bit of my freedom (which is coming to an end soon). I realize that I rarely have time to post, but let's face it. . .pictures are all you want. Here is a lovely mixture of (my favorite niece) Emery, Christmas loves, and New Years Shenanigans:</span><br />

<span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I made this cutting board for Cat and Dad because I love them so much. </span><br />

<span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This little diddy was taken before we headed South for Christmas. There are no ornaments on that Christmas tree and our apartment is not nearly as festive as it was last year. This is a direct result of grad school. Still cozy.</span><br />

I went with the good ol' <a href="http://www.amazon.com/dp/1905047959" target="_blank">Celtic Wheel</a> because it's amazing. Everytime I read it I hear something new. Reading it along with scripture from the Bible is quite stress relieving. Save your future self from wandering up and down the devotional isle at Barnes&Nobles and just buy this book. Anywho, I wanted to share a clip:</span><br />
<span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>"Giver of peace, I pray for an end to war</i></span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">These days I am constantly challenging myself to find peace within. Tends to not be an easy task when my stress levels are regularly reaching an all time high. When I decided to trade church in for devotional time and find this passage, I am reminded someone much greater is looking out for me. Those tests and practicals are quite important, but they are not where I find my strength nor my peace. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">

I know, it's been a while. But that is simply because life is insanely busy and school has taken over. To the extent that it's odd for me to go a week without having to suffer through an exam. What the heck, grad school? But we are surviving! Zach has been super supportive and fantastic the whole time. This past weekend we were able to head down to Tampa for a night to be with my family for my sister, Lucy's engagement party. It was a lot of fun. We had a great time talking with everyone and just being around my family. I didn't take one picture though. It's gotten to the point where I feel weird carrying my camera around. I am officially (well and Zach) the last person on earth without an Iphone. I know, not really, but that's how it seems. People at school look at my phone like, "What is that <i>thing?</i>" Poor little phone. Ohwellll!</span><br />
<span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Fun story---this past Friday I had to take an Anatomy exam that I was insanely nervous about because it pretty much decides whether or not I have to retake the whole class. That morning, I showed up to the exam 45 MINUTES late. The professor looked at me like, "What a newb, why are you so late?" I almost broke down right there in front of the whole class. I was shaking like crazy and really thought I was just having a super realistic nightmare. But no, it was happening. Instead of having two wonderful hours to complete this super important test, I was going to have about an hour. I sat down to take the test and my hands were shaking sooo badly, I could barely bubble in the scantron, let alone remember ALL of that information I had learned. I totally lost all of my mnemonic devices, I could barely remember the most basic things. I wanted to crawl into a hole and die. But there was no hole, so I didn't. I finished the exam before the time was up. I was so convinced I had failed I actually left three minutes early. I later found out, that by some amazing act of God I did not fail. I will have to do quite well on the next two tests, but there's still a chance I won't have to retake the class. <span style="font-size: xx-small;">yippeeeee</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">On to happier times. . . .even though we are quite busy we decided it would be in our best interest if we added a member to our family. And heck no, I am not pregnant. Not yet. </span><br />

In thirteen days I start grad school at University of Saint Augustine for Health Sciences. I will be working toward my Masters in Occupational Therapy. I have been looking forward to this day for. . . ohh let's see. . .. three years. At least that's how long I have been either fulfilling pre-req's or filling out applications and waiting . . . and waiting. I am so joyful that the waiting period is coming to a swift end and I get to start school. I know there are going to be days when I miss my friends and I want to do anything but study and do homework. But it's ok. Because atleast I will be doing all of this work with the mindset that I am working towards a specific goal that will turn into a big-girl job. An adult job.<br />
<br />
Ha.<i> </i>An <i>adult job</i>. Sometimes I forget that I'm 27. Not that 27 is bad--just different from what I thought it would be. I think it's better actually. Now in two years I am going to have a great job! YAYY!<br />

<span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This past weekend my dad and I went on a super fun and relaxing trip to Charleston, SC. Thursday after work Dad met me in Saint Augustine and we headed on our way. For most of the trip we were able to ride with the top down which was super nice. Definitely made me miss my old jeep. </span><br />
<span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I was kind of scared I was going to drop my camera for this. Trying to capture the moment.</span><br />
<span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Friday we wandered around Charleston and the local area. Charleston is full of beautiful houses. The area by the beach was so nice. Friday night we went to a DELICIOUS restaurant called S.N.O.B. (<a href="http://www.mavericksouthernkitchens.com/slightlynorthofbroad/" target="_blank">Slightly North of Broad</a>). We sat right in front of the open kitchen, it was fun to be able to watch everyone work. </span><br />

<span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Saturday morning we decided to go and walk around more, just in case we missed anything.

So many wonderful local delicacies and cool art.</span></div>

Ho well. </span><br />
<span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">A while ago most of my best girlfriends went out to the farmhouse for our KagDubsII weekend. It's pretty much one of my favorite times of the year. We relax and laugh the whole time. We catch up with eachother. We vent to one another. It's our supremely safe place and we love it. This years trip was filled with yummy food, swimming in the pool, enjoying the soaking tub, lounging on the amazing porch, playing cards, and going down the slip-n-slide. Oh, and playing Quelf. And painting nails. </span><br />
<span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I love these girls. For those of you who could not make it this year, know that you were missed. We hope you can join next year!</span><br />

<span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">After we got back from the cruise we quickly stepped back into reality. Upon arrival our dear friends, Zach and Jayce, informed us that our sweet little Scooby had passed away while we were gona. We don't really know what happend. Cally was house sitting at the time, so when I found out I immediately felt bad for her. Definitely the worst thing that can happen when you're housesitting. </span><br />

<span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The following weekend Zach and I witnessed a tragic boating accident while night fishing with our friend Mitch. Another sobering reminder that we were no longer on our happy little cruise. The next day I decided to go ahead with my planned trip to Micanopy with Cally and Colleen. I figured it was better to get out of the house than to stay in and ponder the events of the night before. Micanopy is a super cute little town and it's also about 18 miles away from a Trader Joes. Cally, Colleen, and I wandered around the tiny town in search of treasures. We enjoyed lunch (and ice cream) in front of an adorable cafe right in the middle of town. So fun and so nice to spend some time with my lovely friends.</span><br />

It's been a while. I have been less inclined to take my camera everywhere and take pictures because it's battery life is slim. With my old computer I just had to stick the little memory card into the slot and transfer pictures. NOW with this new fangled Mac I have to use a cord. I know---so hard. This means that I just end up transferring pictures from facebook, and that seems super repetitive. But Ima do it. Let's see. . . . .</span><br />

<span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">March 30th my cousin Tricia married a great guy, Kevin and their wedding was beautiful and a lot of fun. Zach and I danced the most we have ever probably danced at a wedding. The food was delicious. The venue was so pretty. Tricia's dress was off the hook--that's right. </span><br />

<span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">This Saturday Zach and I leave for a cruise to the Bahamas! Yayyyyy. A while back (before I got accepted into University of Saint A) I decided that it would be a good idea for Zach and I to plan a trip. Either (A) I would get accepted to USA and not have time for a vacation-trip for the next two years or (B) I would </span><i style="color: #4c1130; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">not</i><span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> get accepted and be very sad and need some type of trip to make me feel not-so-sad. Fortunately A happend and this Saturday we leave and I am sooooo excited. I am mainly excited that Zach gets to eat as much as he wants. Yes, we are going on a Carnival Cruise. So it's either going to be totally normal and fun or we're going to have an "adventure". Which I'm ok with. . . .I think. I prefer the first option.</span><br />

The simplicity of that kind of joy and excitement is a rare thing.</span><br />

I know, it's been a while. But I was just reading a <a href="http://taylorandsarahbrooks.blogspot.com/2013/04/parents-word-about-instagram.html" target="_blank">blog post</a> </span><span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">about kids and instagram and I want to share my epiphany. And Zach's grocery shopping. . . and the cats don't respond/care. I don't have an Iphone (yet) but I already know that I like instagram, but I never really think about the possible negative effects this type of social media can have on us. Especially at a young age. And by "young age" I mean at any age. Despite our best efforts we--as human beings--are always on the lookout for what our peers--or complete strangers-- think of us. No, it doesn't matter how old we get. I aspire to be better at not caring. Or at least caring, but not letting other's thoughts change who I am or what I look like. </span><br />
<span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Moving on. </span><br />
<span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I caught myself wondering<i> how many</i> people follow <a href="http://taylorandsarahbrooks.blogspot.com/2013/04/parents-word-about-instagram.html" target="_blank">this womans</a> blog. Because surely she must have thousands--ohmanIbetshe'ssopopular--. Why? Why do I care? What does it matter? To my satisfaction I discovered that the number of people who follow her blog was not displayed. Aha! What a wonderful concept. No, it doesn't <i>actually </i>matter. The number of people who may or may not follow every step of our lives does not make that life better. Or worse. Or less meaningful. </span><br />
<span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">So, goodbye list of followers. I still love you. </span><br />

<span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Physics has taken over my life. Not really. I mean it is insanely time consuming and it takes me (literally) hours to finish a quiz. But I got this. Even though most of the time you can find me in my little office/guest room sitting in front of my computer like this:</span><br />

<br />
<span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I am doing my best! My last online course was somewhat time consuming but totally manageable. I mean I was still able to have a full time job and go out on the weekends. Turns out a Physics class and a Psych class are very different. Yeah, I knew that. I think I was just hoping they would be more like twins than insane opposites. Ho Well. </span><br />
<span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Oh yeah! Color Run?! Soooo fun. I highly recommend it to everyone. Of all ages. If you are currently living under a rock and have yet to see the pictures on facebook--here ya go:</span><br />

<span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I love the holidays. I love being with my family and exchanging gifts. I love the cozy way my house feels with all of its cute decorations. I absolutely love the way my family still decorates the house in Tampa. So lovely. And well of course the food is amazing. This past holiday season was quite busy. Zach and I started off early by joining our family from Tallahassee at the Farmhouse for an early Christmas, complete with a Christmas tree. Cathy managed to decorate the house so it was Christmas cozy. Though we were only there for a weekend, I managed to feel supremely relaxed. I love the farm.</span></div>

<span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">On Saturday Lucy, Sharkey (Lucy's Beau), and I headed to this super cute place called Wheelers to find some last minute gifts. The place was packed with quirky metal art. I found a red barn bird cage for Grandma and Grampa Grant and a little armadillo for Cathy. </span></div>

After the farmhouse Zach and I headed back to Saint Augustine so Zach could be at Church Sunday morning. At some point in time we realized we should open each others gifts so we did and it was sooo fun! My favorite gift was a fishing pole. Super surprised and so excited to go fishing!</span></div>

<span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Christmas Eve we attended Mass with Grandma and Grampa Grant and had Christmas breakfast with them and the some other Grant Family members at 2am. It was delicious and we had a surprising amount of energy. We exchanged gifts and then headed home for a hot second to pack the car, then we were off to Tampa! I saw my childhood cat, Sylvester and decided it was time for a photo shoot. He's old and I love him. </span><br />

<span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I had to take some pictures of the house in Tampa, these are just a few but I love how cozy and wonderful everything feels. Makes me think of growing up in this house. Oh if walls could talk. There was a point when Dad and Cat made Lucy get up on a stool to prove that a mark on the ceiling was in fact from a party a long time ago and not from her most recent shindig. So funny.</span><br />

<span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Christmas morning was so fun. I love watching people open their gifts. In fact it took a while because we all wanted to see what everyone had picked out for each other. We are all so proud of our little gifts. The rest of the family came over for our annual White Elephant gift exchange, which was hilarious. At times also frustrating--but that's a whole other post. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The rest of the day was filled with relaxing and lounging around the house. At some point in time Cathy treated Lucy, Sharkey, Zach and I to dinner at <a href="http://timpanochophouse.net/tampa/?location=tampa" target="_blank">Timpanos</a> in Hyde Park. It was lovely. </span></div>

<span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">While we were in Tampa we also attended a wedding. My hilarious friend Joey from high school married his high school sweetheart, Courtney. They are such a great couple and I am so happy they ended up together. I had to get a shot of Zach in his crushed red velvet jacket that I am so proud of. I had so much fun at the wedding. It was so great to be able to hang out with some of my favorites from high school. They were hilarious back then and still are now. I love my friends.</span><br />

<span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Right after the wedding Zach and I headed back up to Saint A so he could make it to the church Sunday morning. Needless to say, I was not there. After church and a bit renegotiating space in the car we were ready for our next adventure. Josh, Zach Carson, Jayce, and my Zach packed into Jayce's car and Cally with me in my car. We all headed back to the farm for our New Years weekend. We stopped at Cracker Barrel first obviously. So delicious. Cally and I immediately jumped on the tractor to "take care" of some brush. Dad asked us to move some branches to the bonfire pile and we decided the only way to do that was with the tractor. We joked that the ground was lava and the only safe places were the tractor and the ATV. So fun.</span><br />

<br />
In under a month Zach and I will be celebrating our 4 year wedding anniversary! That's so crazy. The other night we were talking about how long we have been married and Zach said, "We're almost to the seven year itch. . .and I'm not even the tiniest bit itchy."<br />
<br />
I love him.<br />
<br />
Also, I turned in my application for University of Saint Augustine today. Booya!<br />
<br />
Love you.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06984093236176619997noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1684555040543742844.post-11709111427212674842012-12-05T07:38:00.004-08:002012-12-05T07:38:59.668-08:00Faith.<span style="color: #4c1130;">Our memories are fleeting. Oxymoron? Well some are. </span><br />
<span style="color: #4c1130;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #4c1130;">For example, we are currently under a bit of stress. Just a month ago Zach and I both felt like everything was being taken care of and our jobs were enough and my classes were fine and everyone was happy. But then all of a sudden I find we are both going crazy. Though I could speak of Zachs stressors, I know I shouldn't considering this is such a public space and he might not be too comfortable with that. So I will stick with my own. </span><br />
<span style="color: #4c1130;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #4c1130;">If you have read past blog posts you are well aware that I loathe the education system (for the most part) and have just recently found that long-lost Physics class--in NJ of all places. . .and after a small fortune was spent on registering for the class, we still have to shell out for an at home lab kit. Yep. </span><br />
<span style="color: #4c1130;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #4c1130;">Money. Always such a joyful topic. Less then a month ago Zach and I were in such a comfortable place. Money to cover our cost of living (bills, groceries, etc) and even a <span style="font-size: xx-small;">little </span>bit extra for fun. Then <strike>life</strike> school happened plus the casual unforeseen costs of random life things. So stressful! What's good about this is---well no----nothing is good about this----what HELPS during this time is being married to Zach. We have each other, so we are able to take turns being stressed. Today it is my turn. And man do I feel it. The other day it was his turn, and I was there to positively say, "It's ok, Love. Everything is going to be just fine," which is what Zach said to me today. And that's the thing, we both know that it all will be, in fact, just fine. </span><br />
<span style="color: #4c1130;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #4c1130;">Ya know what also helps? Being a Christian. It's times like this when I find myself truly relying on prayer and its calming effects. Now don't go and picture me in a glowy room incessantly praying, all peaceful and warm. That's not how it is. My prayer time is typically found on my drive to school. Normally out loud and maybe a bit sarcastic, yet hopeful. I know without a doubt in my mind that Zach and I are being cared for by a most amazing and constant God. </span><br />
<span style="color: #4c1130;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #4c1130;">Where was I? Oh yes, memories. I was just looking over what money we should have coming in soon and I realize that in less then ten days we will be back in that happy place. Or at least some version of it. But when we are stressed we feel like that horrible feeling is never going away. It's hard to see things in a big picture sorta way. </span><br />

<span style="color: #4c1130;">If this blog post has caught you off guard, sorry. I do realize that it is a bit taboo for me to discuss money (gasp) and religion (GASP) in a post instead of our cute kitties and our romantic life full of happiness. . . but well. . . I don't care.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="color: #4c1130;">Lately I feel like everything I try to do pertaining to the world of education is a pain in the rump. Well, mainly just trying to find a Physics class that I can take in the Spring so I can apply DECEMBER 15th to University of Saint A. I think I might have finally found one but I just don't understand why everything has to be soooo incredibly complicated. Seriously. I mean I have been trying for </span><i style="color: #4c1130;">weeks</i><span style="color: #4c1130;"> to get into or even find a Physics class. I was either not able to apply because I wasn't a "degree seeking" student or because I didn't have the EXACT math pre-reqs (I have College Algebra and Business Calc) but then today God graced me with a nice little lady in the Counseling Department at SJRSC. I broke down in her office (if you know me at all this should not come as a surprise, I tend to break down when I am frustrated/flustered/or have disappointed someone). I then said, "Sorry, you are just going to have to be ok with this *motioning to my face* because I'm just flustered and going a little crazy right now over this whole finding a Physics class thing." She just nodded her head in a sympathetic way--apparently a lot of students must do the exact same thing. Anyways, she directed me towards St. Leo University---the SJRSC campus just happens to house an office for St. Leo University so I just walked right over there. In under 5 minutes a very nice gentleman told me there was a Physics class offered online and I could take it! Badda-Bing-Badda-Boom. Now I am just waiting on the approval from Saint Augustine University--to make sure I don't take a class they don't accept. **While typing this out I got an email approving the class--woot woot!**</span></span></div>
<span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">*Sigh of relief for now*</span><br />
<span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">No matter how stressed I feel at times, the coziness of my living room seems to make everything ok. </span><br />

<span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Yes, we even have 5 whole Christmas presents under that tree all ready! Sitting in the living room with a cup of Aveda's Comforting tea, listening to Ella Fitzgerald Christmas on the record player with the aroma of Yankee Candles White Christmas in the air is perfection. </span><br />
<span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Pray for my continued sanity and for those lovely ladies who are writing my reference letters! </span><br />

<span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Side note: Notice a lack of pictures? My camera died and it's replacement charger is on the way. Clearly I would have taken way more pictures of the coziness of my house. . .but my macbook can only do so much.</span><br />
<span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">**UPDATE** Turns out that "gentleman" didn't know jack about what classes were available. The Physics class he told me I could take was only offered in Tampa.

Baby J (lil' babe I sit for) was a delight, my Bone Practical was finished on Monday so I didn't have anything crazy to study for, and I got to go on not one but TWO dates with my Love. Oh, and today I got to paint something for a wonderful girl who wanted to BUY a painting from me. A-mazing. At some point in time Zach picked up two quite great pumpkins from the Pumpkin Church and I carved the big one. I love carving the pumpkin and I also love baking the seeds! </span><br />

<span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">In other news. Today I painted a picture for a lovely lady, Toni. She requested a painting of her dog. I had a lot of fun painting it, but I was a little nervous at first because I never paint realistic things (anything with a face that does</span><span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">n't involve a line for a mouth and a little circle for the eye).
