FINALLY, an interview!

We finally received the rest of our stuff today from the Army. Everything made it okay, except for the dishes :/ We ended up with 7 broken dinner plates, 1 broken bowl and 1 broken cup. They told us to keep whatever is intact and they will replace the broken ones at some point. Other than that, everything seems to be A-okay :)

I also FINALLY got a call from a local hospital for an interview on their TCU (telemetry care unit), which is part of the ICU. Full-time nights. This is seriously like my dream, because 1) it's the ICU, and this will help set my foot in the door if I plan on doing the full-fledge ICU later on 2) I definitely prefer nights over days and 3) it's cardiac! which I love.

Now the important thing is, DON'T EFF IT UP! I'm so scared they will ask me something and I won't be prepared to answer. This is my very first nursing interview and I have no idea what to expect! Ahhh!

Please pray! pray, pray, pray!

less than 3 weeks...

The apartment nearly empty :( Both of my roommates moved out yesterday.

Nothingness! My life is in those boxes haha

I'm about 90% packed - all I have left to pack is just random stuff + the clothes that I left out to get me by the next 3 weeks, maybe longer, depending on when our stuff arrives in Texas.

I hate trying to plan ahead like that, because Ohio is so temperamental. It's in the mid 70's right now and will be for the next few days, but it could snow by like the weekend or something. So I have to keep out clothes for that kind of weather, but at the same time keep out summery stuff for when I move to Texas.

The hair problem for the wedding is SOLVED :) I was able to make an appointment with a hair salon today. And they're even giving me a free complimentary run-through this Thursday to try out a style and make sure that I like it! With the veil & tiara :) I'm excited! And I'm glad I get to do this run-through because I'm kind of picky when it comes to my hair, but I suck too much to do it myself.

The cake problem is also solved. $80 extra and 20+ servings later, I have a cake that will serve up to 130 :) I have a feeling we're going to have right around 110 people, but if there is leftover cake oh well. I would rather have more cake than not enough.

Empty bathroom! :(

And would I look good with bangs? I've had this hair style for quite awhile now, I think it's time for a change...after the wedding, of course.

I made an effort to make myself look nice today. I usually only make such an effort when I'm spending time with the hubby but today I just wanted to do something. And my skin has been so red and broken out lately it's embarrassing.

It's amazing what makeup can do. Thanks Bare Minerals & Urban Decay! haha.

wordy wednesday.

My goal today was to start packing, but then I couldn't get any free moving boxes. I waited too late in the day. My wedding bands also came in, so instead I ventured out to have my ring fixed and then spent some time in the shopping area by Jared.

Still a gap, but it looks SO much better in my opinion. I did notice that there is a slightly larger gap in the lower left corner than the other corners, which is weird because the center diamonds on the bands are lined up perfectly with the points on the engagement ring stone. I think that band for some reason is shaped slightly different...but I honestly do not care! Looking at the ring in person, you can barely see it. And I am very happy with how my ring looks now, and my happiness is all that matters because I'll be wearing it :)

The side diamonds match up a lot better, too :) Still not perfect, but the other one went waaay past the side diamonds of the engagement ring. It looked really funny. This still is not a perfect match, but it looks a lot better.

I honestly think the other enhancer took away from my ring. These bands enhance it. This is the closest I can get to the ring without having to do a custom (and with gold being $1500/ounce now, forget it!). I am very happy with it :)

My room is completely torn up from trying to sort things out for packing. You can tell I'm making A LOT of progress hahaha. I'm normally NOT this messy!
