Where did October go?!?! o.o

So, I have been accepted into two schools for nursing. Chamberlain, which was my first choice, and Columbus State Community College. Both good schools, one so much more expensive than the other. Even as an independent student, I'd have to pay over $2000 out of pocket. Give you a hint, I don't make enough to afford that. And of course, the financial aid advisor has continued to try and push me to take out a VERY expensive private loan. Give you a hint, I don't have high enough credit score, nor a co-signer to take out a private loan. So, that's where the other school comes into play. It’s a community college, which there is nothing wrong with, a 2 yr ADN program. After scholarships and grants are accounted for, I’d only need about $1500 covered, and student loans would be more than able to cover that. So, I’m going to a seminar to get the official nursing school application process started, and hopefully, I’ll be able to start there as soon as possible. :)

Hm, I've started the long and arduous journey of looking for a new job. I love what I do, most of the clients, and the people I work with. However, I cannot stand being underpaid, under-appreciated, and working for people that do not care about their clients, or their therapists. The only thing they care about is making money. It's pathetic, and I can't stand it. I need a place that's not so spa-like, not my kind of setting to be quite honest. So, here's hoping I can find something more up my alley soon. ^.^

Other than that, Jon and I got new tattoos the other day. They turned out amazing, as you can see in the pics below. Yay tattoos! xD

And to finish things up here, I shall be seeing my beautiful partner in crime later in the month. It is going to be a glorious 4 day weekend for me. It's going to be awesomely fun. It's been a while since we've truly been able to spend a good length of time together. I miss her desperately, and this is seriously needed. I need a girl's day... several days. xD Shopping and such.  ^.^  

And so, with that lovelies, I bid you adieu. Toodles. :3 

Updatey fun

So, I have come to terms with the fact that no one really reads this blog anymore. Doesn't surprise me. It's nothing great. I don't even have time to update it regularly. My bad. It's called a busy, and very hectic schedule. But I'm still going to post on occasion, at least updates. I may start another section/ blog that is focused on my wedding planning adventures, body positivity, and maybe even one that is focused on massage therapy and my adventures in that along with my upcoming adventures in nursing school. Maybe. Big maybes.

But, as mentioned above, I'm getting ready to go back to school to get my ADN. It should only take about 2 years. Which means, I can continue to do what I do now, and then once I'm done, get a nursing job, and then go back , possibly, for my BSN.. maybe later on down the road if need be. It's all gonna depend on when Jon and I plan to start a family, which I won't lie, we both want to as soon as possible. ( He swears we're going to have twins the very first go around. o.o)  We're hoping to wait until after the wedding, I say hoping because anything can happen. xD

Emm, news on the wedding, as of right now, there is actually quite a bit. Our first choice for the ceremony venue fell through. They were requiring us to have BOTH the ceremony and the reception at their site. However, we've had the reception venue picked out since day one more or less. But, that's ok, we found this wonderful little church in Maumee, and it's half the price that our first choice was. Score. We have our officiant, the wonderful family friend, Mr. Woods. I have my dress, which I'm currently holding off paying for, simply so that I can get another 6 months of them holding on to it. Because the girl apparently screwed up and it was ordered WAY too early. Moron. xD Hmm, other than that, we have some decoration ideas, not nothing really set in stone other than purple, blue, and peacock feathers. Otherwise, it's kinda whatever I find on Pinterest that I find well, interesting. ^.^

Jon and I went and saw my favorite movie on the big screen this past Sunday. Gone with the Wind. It has been my absolute favorite movie and probably book for that matter, for as long as I can remember. Meant a lot to me to have him willingly sit through an almost 4 hour movie ( we'll call it 4, since it's only shy by 2 mins. xD ) and not complain about it.

Umm, other than that. I've just been really busy with work, and such. Added more hours to my schedule, you know because that goes well with school. xD Anywho. I think that's enough for now. Yep. ^.^

Whoot for news

It's probably about time for a quick update. I mean it has been a few weeks. Granted it's mostly the same old, same old.

Work has be hectic, I've been picking up/ covering hours for people whenever I can, the extra cash is nice. though most of it goes right into savings for reasons. Reasons I can't say yet. I'm not exactly allowed. xD Only Jess and Martika know why... but they too have been sworn to secrecy. When the time comes, I'll post all about it on my blog of course.

In exciting news we got a kitten. Her name is Ripley, she's adorable. She's a little brat though, always wants to play when we want to sleep, and vice versa. xD The other cats are still getting used to her, but Jon and I are now apparently official crazy cat people, because we have four of them now.

We're slowing making the house more like a home, finally deciding on colors, and the types of plants we want in the garden. You know, like couples do. It's nice. It's all falling together, even if it does take some time and money to get it all done. Our biggest expense is going to be the new mattress we really need/ want to get. It's a bit pricey, but it'll be worth it for the wonderful sleep we'll get once we have it. 

I've also forgotten how wonderful Netflix is. We finally got better internet service. Everything is clear and fast, we can watch Netflix properly, YouTube doesn't take ages to load, it's fantastic. Such a long overdue little thing we needed to get done. I can watch all those fun documentaries, and tv shows I love. ^.^

I'm trying to figure out where exactly March went. Where February dragged on for what seemed like ages, March blew by like nothing. It's weird. But Spring is on it's way, and it is truly welcomed... I'm done with snow and cold weather. 

For the time being that's all I have to say. That may change, I have a feeling a small rant is coming up, nothing too terrible. I promise. xD 

Bedknobs and Broomsticks ... or something like that

It's kinda about time for another more or less bi-monthly update. It works though, I suppose. Better than before where I'd go months with nothing posted here. The mobile app really helps. xD

Well, Valentine's day kinda backfired on me. I went more or less all out on it for Jon, giant Reese's cups, a sappy card/ love letter, and tickets to see Iced Earth ( our couples massage got cancelled). He however, failed to realize it was Valentine's day. Awesome. I love him to death, but damn it, he can be seriously oblivious to the world around him.

Work has been busy, but it's good. I like being busy, even if some nights I swear it's gonna kill me. I dislocated my thumb years ago, and it's weaker than my other thumb, and it likes to pop and crack a lot. So I have to find ways to work around using my thumbs, and drop more elbows, otherwise, I won't last long as a massage therapist.

Jon and I finally got around to going to Half Priced Books.... big mistake. Jess, if you read this.... it's like Ukazoo... only better. We shall go there when you come visit. Along with Cosi for the Sherlock exhibit and of course Lush in either Easton, or Polaris. Yay adventures! But back to Half Priced Books... we spent hours there, and it was awesome. Found Rant by Chuck Palahniuk, Moulin Rouge, and Chicago all for less than $12. Awesome deals.

I made a random trip to Target ( to find those pjs we saw at the one in Toledo, Jess... neither of the ones near me has them ):<   ) and found the complete first season of Game of Thrones on BluRay for $30... definite score, usually it's like $50, so I'll take the discount on it I can get. Also managed to snag the Targaryen edition of season three from Best Buy for the same price as season one. Should be here in the near future. Excited for that.

I bought Jess her birthday gift, which she knows about, so I can talk about it. It's an awesome t-shirt. See the pic below if you don't believe me.

Awesome, right? Right. xD  And of course, I had to order one for myself too, because it's just that awesome. 

I don't remember if I mentioned it before in my past update, but Jon got me to sit down and watch The Walking Dead. Love it! Sooo much. I love zombie movies, but this show takes the cake. It's fantastic. Gory beyond belief and dramatic. Right up my alley. 

Is anyone else done with the snow?! Yes, I know Toledo has gotten a lot more than the Columbus area, but damn I'm done with people who can't drive in snow and the cold in general. It's supposed to be 54 on Thursday for us, but that means lots of flooding. It was already pretty bad tonight after our freezing rain episode. Can it be summer yet? 

Had a massage today, first 90 minute that I've ever gotten. Needless to say I probably won't be getting anything but those from now on. It was better than a 60 min and allowed the therapist to seriously focus on my problems and it felt wonderful. xD 

Other than all that rambling the only thing I can think of is that I want/ need a kitten. I'm not ready, nor is Jon for babies of our own, so I think a kitten is a nice compromise. Right? A little fuzzy bundle of joy. xD 

Ayup, I'm done. Hope you enjoyed my ramblings and mishaps for the time being. 

Updated awesomeness ... yay? o.O

Well, we're done with the first month of the new year. So far so good. I'm more or less ok with how it's going so far. I wish I could get more hours at work, but that'll come as I get more experience and clients. But alas, such is life. Granted, I have been picking up a few hours for one of the other girls and even if it's only 3 hrs, it really does make the paycheck a little nicer, as do the tips. All in all, I can pay for my car and insurance, and still have a little leftover to cover groceries or something nice for myself or Jon.

Valentine's day is slowly approaching, I'm at a loss as to what to do/ get Jon. I want to do something nice for him, he's always been so wonderful to me. I was considering tickets to an Iced Earth concert ( in April), or going out to a nice supper and a movie. I dunno. Hopefully I'll think of something, and hopefully he does something nice for me too. Hopefully.

I've found that I have a relatively unhealthy addiction to the movie Frozen. Anytime there's nothing on tv lately, it's my go to movie. Not too bad I suppose, I could repeated watch The Phantom of the Opera (like I've never done that before) or Gone with the Wind. I just love the movie so much, catchy music, and lovable characters and I LOVE Elsa... absolutely adore her.

I made a horrible mistake... and my horrible, I mean wonderful mistake. I went to Easton Town Center... it has a LUSH store... I spent more than I should have, but it was wonderful. Bath bombs, and massage bars galore, ok, like 4 bath bombs, and one massage bar.. plus an awesome conversation with one of the employees which landed me free samples. Awesomesauce.

For those of you who actually still read this, I'm hoping to visit Toledo again in probably March. Sorry it's so far away. But I've picked up a lot of hours for the one girl at work, and I have things to do here. Plus, I have to budget the trip. The last one, was not so well budgeted and the last bit of the month was a little difficult, but I made it through more or less unscathed.

Other than that, it's been going well. Jon and I are strong as ever. Work adds a little tension, but we muscle through it all and are happier. It's nice to be able to be with him, to have him want me. Never thought I'd truly find that, I just thought I'd go through life being used and more or less abused. I can't express how happy I am that I don't ever have to worry about that with Jon, because I know he'd never do that.

But I think for now this is a good stopping point, I'm just rambling like I usually do. 

Early December Update

It's about time for an update I suppose. It's been long enough that it's kind of due.

So much has happened recently. And not completely in order.

A few weeks back we went to visit my parents and were actually able to go on a double date with Jess and Charles. We saw Thor: The Dark World, and then had Denny's for supper. It was really quite nice to hang out with them. I needed it. And Jon even enjoyed it. 

I got Jon to finally sit down and watch Game of Thrones with me. He LOVES it. Granted, he wants to stab all the Lannisters except Tyrion in the eye. Eye stabbing of course being his choice of pain. It's amusing to sit there while he watches the show and asks questions, shouts profanities, or simply looks confused as all get out. He's taken to referring to me as "Moon of My Life" and I've started referring to him as "My Sun and Stars". It's sweet and adorable. 

 Jon and I celebrated our one year anniversary on November 9th. We went out the weekend before to a really nice dinner because we were going to be spending our anniversary weekend in Toledo with my parents. But it was nice. It's really awesome to know that we're in it for the long run. We've hinted at and talked about getting married, what we want wedding-wise, an engagement ring ( black diamond all the way), and the 7000,000 Tons of Metal cruise we want to go on as a honeymoon. We're such dorks, but it suits us.

We saw Slayer the following weekend. 

After Slayer, we went and saw Adam play with Siklid at the Fan Appreciation Night at Headliners. It was a good show overall. But honestly the best band was Siklid, I would have been ok with just seeing them play, but it was a free show, so I can't complain. ^.^ 

I got a new car ( new to me at least). It's all shiny and clean. Jon's jealous about it. We drive the same model, but my car is in better shape and it's black. It's awesome. 

 

I decorated our Christmas tree finally. I think it looks good, not as good as when mum and I would decorate our tree, but it'll do for now. 

And of course, one very curious cat inside the tree. 

Everyone should have this sort of Christmas spirit. xD 

I had interview with Massage Envy this week. It went well, and from what it looks like I'll be working there for the time being. It's not exactly the massage setting I want, it's not nearly as medical/ therapeutic as I'd like to work with, but for now, it's a job. It'll pay the bills and help me to get my foot in the door with the profession I love so much. 

Other than that, it's pretty much been normal. Nothing much else to report on at the moment.
