Me: Hey! How were clinicals?

Chris: Gooood, I'm sooo sleepy.

Me: yea, me too. Let's go to bed at like........7 tonight.   (joking)

Chris: YES   (serious)

Chris: YEA, like we could watch a tv show in bed or something   (serious)

Chris: ...and then it'll be like 7 and we can just like go to sleep   (serious)

Chris:   doesn't it get dark around 7 now?   (serious)

Me: hahahahahahhahahahahah (laughing at how ridiculous that sounds and how we're way too awesome to spend our Thursday night like that.)

Me: ..............yea, actually, that sounds really good. 

Welp. My hot male nurse of a husband is writing some kind of paper about potassium. So I'll mumble out some thoughts through the fog that is my brain.

I'm home from our first training week in Columbia. Here are some pros and cons to going to training in Columbia every other week:

PROS:
1. It's pretty fun and reminds me of college a bit...people complain a lot but what's new, right? It's actually better than most college classes because it's about stuff I actually like and want to do with my life. Take that, dumb GenED classes.
2. I get to meet a lot of people who also work at DSS in other counties...same heart...same mind. Sike--the crowd is pretty diverse. But regardless, it's cool meeting so many new people who all have the same job you do.
3. I get to hang out with my familia, including my little brother that my parents decided to have SUPER late because they were depressed that their house was about to be filled with teenagers. Thanks for that, guys..Mikey is pretty sweet. The fact that he's so much younger than us means that he can't necessarily drive to see us for another few years..so we only get to seem him when the family gets together.
4. My parents are great and it gives me more opportunities to try and convince them to adopt. Kidding, Mom. You're going to be a great adoptivegrandmother.
5. I get to do fun things like trick Chris into thinking I'm coming home a day later and then surprise him. Not really, this only happened because I drove back here tonight and have to go back again tomorrow..but not for the same training..it's for a different one that we can carpool to.

CONS:
1. This dang lady who tells me that I'm "just a newlywed" when I talk about how much my husband rocks. I said...well then, my parents must be newlyweds too, huh. Hearing about how much people don't like their spouses totally rips my heart into pieces.Truth. Like--I can totally empathize with people in broken marriages/relationships. I can't imagine what it's like but I get that there are so many factors involved. My problem with this lady is that she didn't even have a reason except for that she just loves being away from him and that "at least he's better than husband number one."
Luckily I don't even know this lady and she was just listening to a conversation I was having with someone else. She also mumbled throughout training things like, "You've got to be kidding me, Good LORD, That's ridiculous" and "G_d D**n." So basically...I tried not to let her negativity cross the threshold of my personal bubble. Take that.
2. Being away from Chris, duh.
3. That's kind of it.

I'm going to sleep. I have no idea how I just typed that and Chris is done with his potassiumpaper. Holllllla.

We still have the creeper song stuck in our heads from SNL. Look it up if you haven't seen it..it's hilarious.

It's the 2 day countdown until Chris and I have to sleep apart for the first time ever. I'm making a huge deal about this and you can just suck it up because it IS A BIG DEAL.

I'm just kidding.

But for the record...we've kissed each other goodnight every stinkin' night before bed since the day we got married...now we're going to have to like air-five over skype instead. Whateva.

We had a super awesome celebratory "I'm going to miss you" Friday night event by eating chinese, rearranging our bedroom furniture, and then spiraling down into a vortex of unnecessary photo editing and iPad article reading until we got too tired to stay up any longer. What is happening to us. It's like we're getting older or something. We're totally making up for our lamesauce Friday by going to TWO fall festivals today. Boom shaka laka.

I'm so thankful I have a hot husband who isn't afraid to go to my photoshoots with me to practice. Even though I tell him over and over he doesn't need "practice" because he's a natural. Evidence:


and also:

Just a quick update and some ramblings. I've failed to post lately mainly because I haven't wanted to get on my computer when I get home from work. Not because I have to be on my computer at work, but because facebook and other such sites depress me lately...I've concluded that the only reason I use facebook is for uploading pictures and writing raps on my friends walls mostly. Other than that I basically post my blog link for my weird friends who tell me they like it and then I log off.

Movin' on down...I doubt I'll be posting as much the next few months because I'll be driving back and forth every other week to Columbia and missing my husband like whoah. In the year and 5 months we've been married, we've yet to sleep a night apart...so this is huge. Don't laugh at us. We'll be skyping a lot. Actually, maybe this means I'll be posting more since I won't be able to come home and hang out with him. I'm super grateful that I'll be able to stay with my family as opposed to a hotel, though. Total blessing. :) Plus, my best friend lives in Columbia and we haven't gotten to see each other enough since we went to separate colleges. Bonus.


In other news, Chris is beasting nursing school, we're stoked that New Girl is back, we're still pumped that we don't have a TV, we'll be moving out of our apartment in a month and a half, I love my job, we've been leaving our windows open allllll day due to this awesome chilly weather, andddd we're pregnant.

Just kidding about that last thing.

Remember that time we were going to video blog? That never happened. I'm always reminded of this when I catch Chris singing weird things and dancing by himself. Other than that, our lives are pretty fantastic and we're trying really hard to not be dumb about the winter season coming...it's so neat that we have changing seasons! That way we can really appreciate when the spring comes. :) I'm thinking about doing a winter photography project to better appreciate the season. We'll see.

Peace!
