yeah for lazy Sundays

Well, this week has been quite eventful and productive. the biggest news is that Michael and I found out we are both medically cleared to join the Peace Corps. Now, we just wait for our invitation which will tell us when and where we are going to serve. It is a great weight lifted off our shoulders. It is so exciting. This means we are definitely going to serve in the Peace Corps, we just don't know where or when yet. YEAH for that!!!

This week at work was very tough. There were a few days in there that were very emotionally draining. One baby was very very sick on Wednesday and I spent several hours with the mom and dad providing support. it was a very draining day. also, the NICU translator (who is the best most amazing sweetest woman I know) went to the hospital with chest pains this week. She is ok now, but it was tough for a few days there. That was also very tough emotionally. Anyway, I made it through and i am to my full emotional level today. :)

Yesterday, Michael and I went to my parents house to celebrate an early Easter. It was so much fun. We only planned on staying for a little while and we actually stayed the whole day. We got there around 11 am and stayed till a bit after midnight. It was wonderful. We colored eggs and ate great food. I did some shoe shopping with my mom and sister, while michael and the men stayed home and watched tv. Then, in the evening, I wanted to get some more shopping done since my mom and May (a good friend of the family) were both there. So, the men went to the movies and we hit the mall. Overall, it was an excellent shopping day, thanks to my mom and May. I was able to find my wedding shoe (which is totally beautiful), a wedding slipper just in case the shoes become too uncomfortable, three other pairs of shoes to go with all the amazing clothes we found at Macy's. I feel like I have a whole new wardrobe and it was all so reasonably priced. They were having an amazing sale. :) I have outfits for the rehearsal dinner, for the shower, for my sister's graduation party, my sister's graduation, and for many other events that haven't even been put in the books yet. i hate shopping, but it was such a fun time shopping with my mom and May. It made it so much easier. It is like a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders because i was really dreading shopping for all that stuff. Oh yeah, i also was able to find the undergarment i needed to go with my dress. That was also a big concern. Anyway, overall it was a wonderful day. After the shopping and the movie, we all played some texas hold em. I won $1. YEAH!! Anyway, it was a great day full of family fun and good times.

Well, today has been a lazy day, which is something i really needed. I woke up late and have just been taking care of things around the house, replying to emails and i am going to hit the grocery store pretty soon. peace out.
