My last post was in November and it is now January so i figured its about time to get updated on here! Since November a lot has happened. Lets start with school, i made it through my first semester of DH school and first set of finals! It was to say the least very challenging. But i can also say, i have learned more in that one semester than i did the whole 5 years i was in Martin. After finals were over it was Christmas break..yay!!!...not so much. 2 days after my lst final i had a tonsilectomy! i was MISERABLE! there was one day that i seriously thought i might die..ok maybe not die but at the time i wished i was dead! everyone told me it was going to be rough the older you are. i was thinkin ok a few days eat some ice cream and pop sicles and ill be fine. no. 2 weeks straight was horrible. i am now in my 3rd week and im still not "back to normal" although i can now eat pretty much whatever i want. i still feel like i have a sore throught. let me tell you it hurt so bad to just drink water. and that is what the doctor kept saying would help the recovery process. Adam had to call the doctor 3 times during the first week, twice to get me more pain pills and once to get me some meds to help with nausea. yes, naseau. i would rather have a broken leg than to be throwing up 5 times a day when i have nothing in my stomach but a little bit of water and popsicle juice! ugh just thinking back makes me sick to my stomach! Luckily i have a totally awesome husband that was by my side taking care of me. cleaning out my throw up can and making sure i took my meds. he is very good a nurturing...which im very glad for our future kids bc i more of a suck it up and get tough kind of person (when its not me sick) :)
anyways right in the middle of all this is christmas and new years. needless to say yes i did loose some weight! the only good thing that came out of the whole process. i still very much enjoyed Christmas with our families. it was our first christmas and new years as a married couple. nothing was really different other than the feeling of it. it just felt good/warm/right. i have no doubts in my mind that God knew what he was doing when we said i do. i cannot wait to have a few little Shelley babies running around. it is just going to make it that much better. but first things first - graduate school and get a j-o-b! :)
i have 3 days left of my christmas break and its back to school! i think this break was much needed and a good break from studying. i feel like my mind is rested and im ready to get back to it! not that im ready for all the studying again but the faster we start the semester the faster its over with and im that much closer to graduating!
so anyways thats what ive been up to. a lot of being sick and miserable but also a lot of much needed rest. hopefully next time i update this blog i wont be complaining too much on how im sick of school!
here are a few pics to enjoy. much love!
