I am sitting here at the office where I intern and am looking at the calendar. I can not believe that February is almost over. I think as I get older time goes by much much faster. I can remember thinking May would never come when I was a kid, and here I am about to graduate college just clinging to these last 2 months thinking- please, just slow down! I also can’t believe that in just a couple of weeks it will be our anniversary! I can remember last year this time thinking, “I am about to be married in like 2 weeks!!” and all of the excitement and busyness and nervousness of those last few weeks… and now I’m here again already?

Time has really flown. Spring break will be here in 2 weeks. I can’t believe it. Its my last “real break” before I get a job. How sad. :( The worst part is that I am having foot surgery the week before and will be unable to do anything that week, the week of Spring break, and the week after… which means that our anniversary will consist of ordering in and spending time together on the couch. No fun. I guess that’s life though. My mom is going to take care of me the first week, and then Will is going to take off the 2nd week. My mom and sister are going to go visit my dad in Kuwait that week. I’m jealous. And I’m hoping that the third week, when everyone goes back to work, I’ll be able to get around some on my own. If not, I will just make myself do it. Whether my body is ready or not, I have to go back to school that following week. Does anyone sense denial on my part?? So I’m gearing up to try to get everything done these next two weeks so I can not feel so guilty doing nothing for three. I think women have some guilt switch in our brain that we feel we always have to be doing something or we feel bad. Like, I could just laze around for an hour but I the laundry HAS to get done this second, when it really could wait an hour. Really, it could. It’s been sitting there for like 3 days… whats another hour? I’m trying to help myself realize these things in the event of my surgery, but I have this bad feeling that I will be on all fours, crawling around doing stupid and unnecessary things. What a hilarious sight. I hope I don’t get that bored. Have a great day all!
