(no subject)
First off, sorry that I haven't posted. I'm currently addicted to myspace so most of my entries have been on my blog then on here. But I was getting ready to make a big post to here. So here goes:
I got married almost 6 months ago. I can't believe its been so long already. It truly feels like it was only a few months ago. Married life is definately a lot harder than I thought it would be. It took a few months to get used to living with John and his quirks and I'm sure it was hard for him. Plus we're going through all of it without our family and friends...and if you know me, you know how important my family is to me. But we're working every day at it, knowing that its hard work but at the end of the day, when you can roll over and see the love of your life laying next to you, it makes everything worth while.
We're expecting our first child in January. Yes...I'm 9 weeks pregnant. It came as quite a shock to us, not because it was unexpected or unplanned. We just didn't think we'd be blessed with a child after a few weeks of trying. I thank God every day for granting us the opportunity to become parents, especially when there are so many people who desperately want to become parents and have difficulties doing so. We are so blessed to have this gift in our lives. Although I could do without the morning sickness. Its gotten so bad that I've been put on meds to help me control it. I just keep thinking to myself...3 more weeks and then its all over (most morning sickness goes away after the first trimester). I'll try to update on this as much as I can but I tend to post on myspace because I'm addicted.
We're living in Orlando. I actually hate Orlando with a passion. I'm counting down the days until we can move back home. The actual date of moving back home is constantly in the air due to our new addition because we know how hard its going to be to be up here alone with the baby. Plus we miss our families so much that we desperately want to go back. Every day we discuss a new option so we'll see. Hopefully we'll be back home in March, if all goes as planned. Stay tuned for details.
I passed my NCLEX. I'm officially a licensed Registered Nurse in the state of Florida. I have my license number, I'm on file with the state, and they now pretty much control the rest of my career. I studied my ass off for this test because I was not going to fail it again and have to relive the stress of taking it again.
I love my job. I work at Florida Children's Hospital. I always knew I wanted to work with children but I never knew that it would bring my life so much joy. Children are amazing beings. They see the beauty and simplicity in life that we are too jaded to see. They have amazing courage, far more than most adults I've seen. I love every day that I'm there. It definately is the most rewarding job anyone could have.
Thats pretty much it for now. I've tried to sum the past 6 months up in a little entry and I know I've probably left some stuff out. But I'll try to post as much as I can.
I hope that everyone is finding happiness and fufillment in their lives.
Now I've got to try to go to bed. Good night everyone!!!
