So, I’ve been thinking… I have all these random things that go through my head and it’s hard for me to always write in complete sentences for an entire post so with motivation from fellow bloggers I’ve decided to create… RANDOM WEDNESDAYS!.. Happy Things. Sad Things. Irritating Things. Random Things. All in one Place!... Ready. Set. Go.
I love sleep. I love it so much that I am late for work 4 out of 5 mornings. Glad they are laid back here.
My new favorite drink at Stary-bucks is caramel macchiato. I get it in a Grande, with 1.5 pumps of vanilla and 1.5 pumps of hazelnut, non-fat milk and non-fat doesn’t mean hold the caramel drizzle. I like that.
I hate when I comment on someone’s blog with a question and they don’t answer. It makes me want to say “fine, I won’t follow you anymore”.
I feel like I am no longer “up with fashion”, because I can no longer shop for the latest trends. I feel so boring now.
I snapped at one my employees last night. I sarcastically told her she was “a delight to work with”. Not good behavior for a manager, but she has continually given me attitude. BUT that is far from an excuse for my behavior. Don’t worry, I will be telling her sorry when we work together again.

Med School is hard… Coy studies non-stop and even though I see him every night I just feel like we don’t actually have any quality time together. Good news though: He has gotten above a 70% on all his tests and stuff, but it’s honestly because Med School is his life. We have made it through ¼ of the semester and knowing we have a date night each week is what keeps me going. Also, I get to look forward to us going out of town for a few days in November. I keep trying to reach out to spouses going through the same thing but for example, I joined the SAA (this group for Med Students and their Spouses) and Coy and I have not been able to attend any events due to the fact that I work almost every night. I will admit though, me working at night makes it easier on Coy because he doesn’t have me as a distraction.
On a more positive note, I went wedding dress shopping over the weekend and I’ve narrowed it down to two dresses. I have a fitting on Oct.9, so I have to make my final decision before then.
Just to give everyone a glimpse into what is going through my head!
That's it for now!! I think I'm going to start Random Wednesdays, tomorrow! You will see what I mean...
We sent the contract last week, signed and all official. We chose The Spa Wall.. Well, I chose it and Coy agreed.
We will fly out the morning of Friday, May 27 and get our marriage license and then have the rest of the day to hang out and take care of any final details. Then, Saturday morning I plan to sleep in (even though, I'll probably be too excited), have brunch in the room, get ready there and the wedding will take place at 2 with a small reception that will follow. Only family is invited, but no worries we will have a reception here in Tulsa when we get back from our honeymoon... MGM will not only take care of my venue, but also my flowers, pastor, music, etc. It's such a relief! Now I just want the day to actually get here. I can HARDLY wait!
I have been SO busy. I apologize. I’ve been really trying to keep up with the blogs that I follow, but that has taken away any time I’ve had left to write.
Things going on:
·Coy has not only started school, but has become elbow deep in it. He studies all the time and we try to have date night once a week and have successfully had dinner with each other every night, so far.
·We have changed our wedding date to Memorial Day weekend. Which we had originally chosen that weekend (May 28) because everyone would be out of school and it would just work out perfectly with his lease ending at the first of June, but then we realized it was Memorial Day weekend. So, we decided to bump it up to the 21st and just hope everyone could make it. But after a recent discovery of a major problem with our honeymoon falling on a bad week for me, we’ve decided to move it back to May 28.
·I’m ready for all the holidays… Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years, which leads to my birthday, Valentine’s Day, and my anniversary. I can feel it getting close, not only because September is nearly here, but also Starbucks has started serving their pumpkin spice latte. YAY!!
·I love my new job at Starbucks. It has been a month and I absolutely love it more and more each day… Last week though, I worked 9 days straight and ended up sick. This then ended up making Coy sick. Whoops!
So, I was wondering “What makes a friend?”… Because the other night, I had a friend of mine say “we aren’t friends because we never talk anymore”. I’m like “we are talking now and we talked a month ago. So what do you mean?”… I feel if you were once a good friend of mine then you will always be a good friend, even if life gets too busy and we don’t get to talk as often as we used to… Coy works so hard to keep in contact with people. He really puts effort into keeping his friendships alive.I, on the other hand, just assume we will still be friends even if we only get to see or talk each other every once in awhile. I guess I just accept that I am busy and so are you and when we get time we will work something out. What do you think? Let me know.
Once upon a time… a girl said yes to a date with a boy. They had an amazing first date that started with dinner and went on for hours. That date turned into dates, which turned into days then weeks which turned into months and the next thing they knew love had crept up on them. Then this past Thursday night (August 12), after a long day at work, she came home to a boyfriend in a panic saying there was an emergency at her Mamaw’s (intense? I know) and they had to get over there A.S.A.P. But as they arrived she realized there wasn’t an emergency AT ALL! Instead she saw rose pedals leading to candles, flowers and champagne. There he got on one knee and asked her to marry him…. And I said “OF COURSE!!”
I have this obsession, which I had worked so hard on curing while single, but Coy has awaken this monster... So, this past Sunday Coy and I (plus my Mom, sister and her boyfriend) went to the Wedding Show. I have went for the past three years but this year was different, it seemed so official. We registered under Bride and Groom, tried foods, talked to vendors and got a few ideas. I, also, ran into a few people I know and had to tell them the truth, "oh. we aren't actually engaged yet. We just know we are getting married next spring, so we came". It was kind of embarrassing though, because I feel like they are thinking "oh, so you are forcing him to marry you and you think dragging him here will help". No, he came willingly!... Anyway, since then we have made the list of who is invited to the destination wedding (the reception invite list is being put off for now because of the fact it will be long and probably should be typed. lol)... This brings us to, I've started looking at invites and such.
I started thinking the other day and made my final decision last night that our colors will be black, white and green. So, here is the SAVE THE DATE! I don't even know if this will be a good idea since we aren't having a ceremony in town. What are everyone's opinions?
I also found an invite I like too, but I would like to make a few minor changes to it. Opinions?
So, I changed my background which then messed up my previous post. Whoops! UPDATE: Started my new job Monday. LOVE IT! I just pray that I will continue catching on and remembering all the drink recipes. Also, I started my diet Monday. After Coy’s and my vacation this past weekend, I decided that I’ve put this off long enough and if I’m getting married next summer, I need to get skinny again. I’ve been thinking about how I used to be 20lbs lighter but that I’d be happy just losing 10. Then, this weekend I was in a picture a bit tipsy and there is my gut just hanging out. Shameful, I know. Then, to make matters worse I begin complaining to my friend that is like 5’6” 110lbs and her response is “don’t worry I sometimes look pregnant in pictures, too”. After that I decided that once Coy and I got home I was starting my diet and workout plan. So, we have been doing P90X and I’ve been counting calories since Monday. Wish me luck! Coy starts his orientation week this Monday, which technically is classes within a getting to know you week. Then, his family is coming into town for his White Coat Ceremony that following Saturday. So, this means my intermediate family meets his. Yay! Very Exciting... I’m off work for his White Coat Ceremony but he has two dinners this next week for “Med Students and Spouses”, that I will be unable to attend due to my new job. Which sucks, but what’s a girl to do?.. Also, I joined the support group for Med Students and Their Spouses and we had to miss the first event of the school year because we were out of town and I have a feeling I’ll miss many more…. We have decided though, that 4 nights out of the 7 we must have dinner together. My work schedule is four nights 3-11PM, one day from 11-7PM, then two days off each week. So, my three evenings off I will make sure that no matter what we can have dinner together, even if it means bringing it up to him at school. Then the other evening he has to make sure he is available for 30mins for me. The other three evenings it would be great to have dinner with each other, but with our newly hectic schedules we need to be realistic. On the positive note, we do have the rest of our lives together to make up for Med School and the years that follow. It’s just my only fear is if we don’t try we will forget how to communicate with each other. Example: When people have children and put all their time and effort into raising them. So, then when the children leave (for college or they get married) they feel like they have to start over again or they just give up and end it. It happens all the time. Comments and questions are greatly appreciated.
