Hello Friends,

October 16, 2008

I’m alive, I’m married, I’m happy, and I’m busy! Our wedding was amazing. Or so I thought, at least. I keep checking my photographer’s website for pictures, but they aren’t up yet. I really want to share those with you, but for now please be satisfied with the pictures from our honeymoon. I am just going to give you the link to Flickr, because I already did a lot of work with the pictures on there and I’m too lazy to choose the best ones to put up here. Except for this one, which is my absolute favorite: We went to Kauai, Hawaii and it was the perfect place. Not commercial at all, completely relaxing, with tons to do if…

Contrasts

September 29, 2008

I just got a call at work today from the husband of a woman I took care of almost every day for a month, who we sent to hospice last week. She passed away this morning, only 43 years old. I’m so glad she’s not in pain anymore, but I keep picturing her husband at her bedside, sweetly taking care of her.

We watched DVDs of “The Office,” indulged in chicken fried rice, and worked on wedding favors. I really needed a night like that. The wedding is in eight days – wow, my heart just started pounding – and somehow I think everything is going to come together. There are still a bunch of details to get out of the way, but thankfully I have this weekend off. Although I do have to work three days next week. Speaking of work, it…

Friday Night

September 19, 2008

This time last week I was sitting at a table in Methodist’s cafeteria, talking to some co-workers and getting ready to head to my hospital room for bed. A hurricane was making a straight shot for us. At this time in two weeks I will be married, soon to head to a hotel room at the airport, and then to Kauai from there (with stops in Dallas, LA, and Honolulu). But tonight I am lounging on the couch, exhausted after a busy day at work and hours of traffic, wasting the time I should be wedding planning on Geni.com and getting ready to head to my twin bed in my parents’ house to cuddle up with my dog, preparing for…
