Great news and a life update

So last post was when I decided that nursing school was not my cup of tea. Well, I feel amazing about my decision and don't regret it in the least. But amazingly enough I was offered a full-time position at work. Two guys are quitting (one for another job and one going back to school) and I asked about it and was given it right away. Just makes me think that things all happen for a reason and maybe they don't make sense at the time but they will in the future.

On a WEDDING note!
     We bought the boy's wedding band this weekend and were happy to find out that it was on sale so of course we jumped on it before we go back on day and they don't make it anymore. We also (almost) finalized our wedding menu! We only have to decide on beef and wine (both things he will be picking because I don't eat or drink either of those things).

At this rate we will be done in record time and will be able to sit back and relax until final payments are due. All we have left are little things, along with flowers, transportation and an officiant. Hopefully we can get these things done before the holidays and then it will just be those little knick knack things are all realize we have about 3 months before the wedding.


Almost down to 1 year!

That's all for now!

Happy planning!

BIG CHANGES...

So this blog started as an outlet for my wedding planning and going to nursing school. I've been doing lots of thinking about a lot of things lately and have come to the sad conclusion that nursing is just not for me. I was talking to a few women at work who told me that I either knew or I didn't and it wasn't something I should be in the middle about. I took that to heart. I know that if my heart isn't fully in it then I can't fully help my patients when they need me. I currently work in a pharmacy and the thought of staying there doesn't sound horrible, maybe moving to a larger company or a hospital but I may stay. My wonder FI didn't take the news well. We don't live together and see each other once a week so this was something I was kind of dealing with alone. He didn't say much but I think it's shock and I think he's a little hurt that I didn't talk to him about it. I am hoping that with time he will realize that this is a good decision for us and the less money we have in debts the better. I can't give my family 40,000 in even more debt when I don't think that's what I want.

The ladies on the knot have been wonderful in helping me realize that this may be the best decision and I'm feeling okay about it. Once FI starts talking to me again I'm sure I will feel better about it.


On a wedding note! We found our caterer. They are wonderful and my future in-laws will be paying for the bar and the food which is great. We hope that everyone enjoys it. They were great enough to even not have us give them the deposit until we do our tasting because they want to make sure we are happy with them. They are a Cincinnati institution so I'm excited to have them helping with our wedding.

That's all for now.

Happy Planning!
