And five months later...

Yeah, so much for the financially stable. We're still flat broke. Things don't seem to ever work out as well as we planned. We're doing a little better. And we're down to around a year before I'm getting a paycheck that will actually help. Don't think we're fixing up this house though, I think we're going to look around for another one. We really need a little more space, plus I think we're going to stay in this area quite a while, so we'd better provide for family stuff. It's exciting.

We fianally got the wedding plans going too. It looks like we've got Davis Park in Anderson on Saturday June 14, 2008. We're not doing anything big, really. Just a simple ceremony and some picnic kinds of food for the reception. Now that we've got things booked I've started trying to find all the little decorations and stuff for the church. And I've got to order invitations. I'd never realized the ridiculous amounts of money people will charge for the little pieces of paper with a little bit of writing on it. We don't have to bother planning and paying for a honeymoon, we can't afford that at the moment. Nor are we likely to be able to anytime soon. I still have to get a dress and all that good stuff. Since we're kind of going for a hippie theme, I've asked a company I've ordered from before to make me a really cool version of a dress they already have. Haven't heard back from them yet, but I'm really hoping it works out. Chris' outfit should be really easy to put together, since it's basically cargo shorts, a dress shirt, and a vest. I'm growing my hair out, which has already been irritating. Once my bangs get into my eyes I get annoyed, and as I recall that stage lasts at least a good three months. Chris has got a good six month jump on me, since he already started growing his out.

The whole nursing school thing is still moving along too. Don't know quite how I made it through the last semester. It positively sucked. Supposedly the next semester is easy and it won't wear all of us out so badly. We're all really close to graduating. I actually find that frightening. I have almost no idea what I'm doing. I know the book information pretty well, of course. I just havent' gotten to do many procedures. I guess nobody does when they graduate. I'll bet after a couple of months of actually being a nurse I'll have a lot of it down. Just right now the thought of having to take care of patients on my own isn't entirely pleasant. I guess I've got a while longer to get used to it.
