I mean how embarrassing is it to plan all these things and then no one shows up?! Nightmare. I ended up leaving work early that day. I only work 20 hours a week at that job, so I kind of make my own schedule which is the bomb. Since it's summer, it's super slow, so I try to do as much as I can from home before trekking it up to the office.
I spent the rest of the day snooping around bookstores. I can spend hours in Barnes and Noble and Hastings. I love it. Just walking the calm aisles, searching and looking for whatever I want. It's peaceful somehow. I hope they never do away with real bookstores. I can't stand reading e-books. I want to turn a page for real. In real life. Fold the corners when I'm ready to stop. I don't know. I just really love being in a bookstore. It's actually one of my favorite places to study when I'm in school.
I ended up purchasing a medical dictionary while there. I have a feeling I'm going to be needing to look up all kinds of words during this 2 years, so I thought I'd find a little pocket dictionary to carry in my backpack.
Saturday was awesome. While Justin went to hit some balls with his friends in the morning, I started a pot of coffee and watched a movie I've been wanting to see (Pitch Perfect). It was so cute. Then we met for lunch at one of our favorite restaurants in town and headed home to relax for the rest of the afternoon. We spent the evening eating Chinese food with Justin's family and watched that Identity Theft movie with Jason Bateman. So funny! It was the perfect day. Lots of relaxing. Lots of good food. And lots of good family time. I mostly hung out with the girls before the movie and talked wedding talk. I think I've finally chosen a tablescape for the reception. It has seriously taken me months to figure out what my "colors" are. And I still really haven't chosen. But I'm one step closer with the decision of my table décor. The décor I (think) I have chosen, will go with any colors really so I'm not too worried about it any more.
I love this look. White table, burlap runner, bowls of lemons and artichokes (or succulents), and mixed florals. Fun, bright, and perfect for our April wedding at the museum.
While at the bookstore I found this article outlining which flowers were available in Spring. Going to be very helpful when I got to order my bouquet!
Sunday we slept in. Love it! Slept in till 7:15 that is. Which is sleeping in for us I guess. Justin went off to run the payroll at his businesses and I stayed home, made my breakfast and watched Hotel Transylvania. Yep I'm 10. But I love animated movies. It's the wannabe first grade teacher in me. Then it was off to see a new baby with the family. We had a huge family bbq and got to see the cutest baby to join the family. She's two months old now, but they live in Texas so it was so great to be able to see her in person. And of course I didn't take one damn photo the whole time I was there. So you'll have to use your imagination.
Today it's the first day of clinicals for me. I start with the PM shift at the hospital. So 2-8pm. I'm so excited!! Nervous, but excited. I feel like I have a good grasp of what's going on. My fellow students seem to be shitting bricks about everything and I'm surprised I'm not too. But for some reason I just have this calmness about me...like as if this is something I was meant to do and I'm not worried about it. For once. What the? I mean really. If you really know me, you know that I'm a worrier and a freaker-outer. But not this time. I must say, it's refreshing. I just know that they're going to teach me everything I need to know and I just need to roll with it.
So today will be filled with anticipation while I wait for 2 to roll around. For now, it's coffee and breakfast time.
