Up and down

Wow has this week been a emotional roller coaster. With stress from finding a job, work drama, Ryan's court, and life in general they also had to switch my anxiety meds. Not at all a good choice... now my brain has been freaking out. Between over analyzing everything and crying over nothing I have felt like I'm broken. But even though I'm crazy Ryan still stands there with me through everything. I have so thankful to have such a supportive boyfriend. He is my rock. Now let's just hope this week is better.

In other news the shop he started building in November is now almost done! Here are some sneak peaks..

Tiffany Please!

Wow did the boy surprise me today! With our Anniversary being on the 8th of January and his birthday on the 22nd of this month we usually don't celebrate Valentines day. Well this year we didn't do much for our anniversary because I was recovering from my toe surgery and he was building the shop. Valentines day wasn't much more exciting as I worked. So as I came to his house today he handed me a "blue" bag. Now this is a joke between us as I always tell him for every Holiday that I want a "blue box". Well this time I got it. When I opened it I found a roll of tape. Not a diamond... not a necklace.... a roll of tape! I didn't know what to do until he pulled out a box. It had the cutest necklace! I love it so much. I have wanted a key pendant for a while. And now I own something from Tiffany's!

Its this one but pink!

Holidays = Stress

Why is it that Holidays bring out the stress in people. This year I got my Christmas shopping done last night. Woot one week before Christmas. I have all the presents wrapped except two and just need to finish crafting Ryan's mom and sisters presents and then find a cute bow. My family on the other hand... seemed to start shopping today. Christmas cookies are not made yet, party plans are in the air and yet brings more and more stress. Oh I love the holidays.

I promise I really do I just wish it wasn't so stressful. Poor Ryan hasn't had time either as he is building the shop everyday which is coming together very fast. Ill post pictures soon. The roof got delayed until Monday and the door and windows till Thursday. So that puts us two days before Christmas. Lovely how construction has set backs.

With my toe surgery I was just told that I need to be out of work for another 6 weeks. This could get interesting as I'm about to run out of PTO. The surgery went differently than planned and instead of putting a pin in my toe they have to put a plate with four screws. This seems to take longer to heel. Also because I can't sit still one of the screws shifted to close to my joint and now has to be removed in a month. Oh joy. :/

For now I'm trying to only be on my feet for an hour at a time and take it easy. This will get boring very fast. I'm am trying to be active and do exercise that does not involve moving my feet. And when my car is fixed (Tuesday) I can go to the gym again!

Despite all these set backs I still love the Christmas season. I'm excited to spend it with my family and Ryan's. Tonight we are going to look at lights and I hope this will help put me into the Christmas mood. If not ill have to make more cookies :)

Surgery Day Three

Today is the third full day I have been home and I am handling it better than I thought.

Things that have made me happy so far:
-Planning a spa day with Katie.
- 20 Questions and candy from Jessica.
- Ryan coming to see me.
- My mom renting me lots of movies.
- Pain Killers.
- Balloons from people that care about me.
- My puppy.
- Cute text messages from my love.

Hopefully soon ill be able to walk around and be back to myself in no time.
I have no energy and just want to craft.

More to come later :)

Time flies by...

Wow! November is going by so fast. I don't even remember October ending. Soon it will be Christmas time. Here are some things I'm excited about or that are happening.

1. Halloween was so much fun. Ryan and I were able to throw a sweet party at a friends house and it turned out awesome! I decided at the last minute that I wanted to be a nurse and the outfit was very cute. Ryan wore his mullet wig and I guess we matched nicely. Katie, Nicole, Jackie, Jessica, and I all had so much fun dancing. The next morning.. wasn't so great.

2. I love the fall. The leaves are beginning to change colors and the air is getting crisp. I love this time of year. When I do getting married I want it to be during this time so that the fall leaves are in all the pictures. (haha I'm such a girl). I'm excited for Thanksgiving and to spend time with family.

3. I am getting surgery on my toe. They have to shorten the big toe on my left foot because it is too long and placing pressure on the rest of my foot. It will be an out patient procedure and then a two week recovery. I can't work for the first two weeks and then will have to wear a boot for six weeks. I hope it is healed by January so I can snow boarding! The time out of work will allow me time to do lots of crafts.

4. I can't wait to start Christmas shopping! This is my favorite time of the holidays and I love getting things for other people.

5. I had an interview Thursday that went really well. I am hoping to get a job somewhere with a normal schedule that allows me to have weekends off and not so much drama. I am going to keep applying as I cant stand retail anymore.

6. It has almost been a year since Ryan's dad has passed away and its becoming hard for him family. It is really hard to sit there and see them hurt and know you can't do anything to change it. Prayers for the family are appreciated. Monday we are going to the cemetery to visit. This will be good as I miss Denney too.

Here are fun random pictures from last month!

Fitness Goals

So its time to get back into shape. With my new found workout partner we have set short term goals for December 18th and long term goals for March 18. I want to become better at running but I don't feel like I'm making progress. I also would like to be more flexible but I don't see any improvement in that either.


The big problem... I don't seem to be motivated anymore.

Suggestions?

October is here!

I love the month of October! I don't know what it is about this month that makes me so happy. It could be because it is the beginning of fall and you can start to see the colors changing on the trees. I also like the feel of crisp air in the morning and warm sun in the afternoon. But my favorite thing of all is HALLOWEEN!

I love to dress up and this year I have the chance to plan a party (which I also love doing). Ryan thinks its crazy that I'm this excited and its only the 1st but I'm a bit crazy. Sunday were going with some friends to check out costumes. I have it narrowed down to two different choices.

The first

And the Second :)


Who will be the winner....
