The best birthday ever

Well I will try to do my story justice....As you all know yesterday was my birthday, my 25th in fact. Trevor took me to Bricktown for some good food at Bourbon Street Cafe and then he started to drive down 240. I started to wonder where in the world he was taking me until I saw the sign for Chickasha. Knowing how I love lights, he had decided to take me to Chickasha to see the Festival of the Lights. I didn't bring my camera which is sad...but I have the memories. Anyway there we went on a carriage ride throught the park. Trevor was thinking of proposing to me on the bridge but he saw the cracks in the bridge and decided against. It was actually funny later because at the time I had asked him what he was doing and he said he was " looking at the lights on the water."Yeah right. Anyway he ended up taking me to the huge tree of lights. He went down to one knee and asked me if I loved him and well I think you can figure out the rest. He suprised me so much and I feel so relieved. It' s good to know we are definitely going to get married. Check out Trevor's take on the night.

Ooh...Aahhh

Well I did end up needing antibiotics. Oh fun. But wasn't too bad. I went to two parties on Saturday. Julie and Chris' and 7 and a suprise wedding shower for Megan at 8. I also went to see lights in Midwest City and that was pretty fun. I hope to see more though......

Sick day....again

Well sick at home.... Here's a little rant: why is it that I get sick from someone who won't stay home from work/public but I get chastised from work because I call in sick for being sick? (Maybe that makes sense) I'm pretty sure this is sinusitis, which nurses SHOULD know is very contagious. PLEASE have the common sense to stay home when you are sick. I am home today resting/lavaging my nasal cavities (sounds like fun doesn't it kiddies)/pushing fluids, hoping this won't require antibiotics. Thanks come again.
On a more pleasant side note: I have finished my book (finally) and will start another, and will watch a couple of movies.

Oh yeah....

Oh and I forgot to mention I moved to a new house in Shawnee with the help of my dad, Trevor, Julie, Chris, and Clare. Thanks guys for all your help. Maybe I could do some before and after pictures of the yard for fun.

Lately...

Well I don't think I posted once in the month of November... Not too much going on. The lights and tree are up thanks to my "professional" boyfriend. Well mostly up I should say but we'll get there. I had crazy patients and families at work. Got threatened by a one-legged man... ah yes fun. I rewarded myself by going by the new Wendy's in Shawnee....I'm sure it will be a late night.
