It’s been quite a long time since my last post. I was really
freaking out for a bit about “THE MATCH”. It was better to avoid thinking about it. Sitting at my computer for hour
wasting time on Zillow.com looking at possible housing options depending on
location we *might* move was starting to consume my school work time. Wedding planning
has taken over my worries. My check list is getting shorter and shorter. My
dress came in, save the dates are about to go out, and bridesmaids dresses are
ordered. All is right in the world.
Except for my Christmas tree that only survived 48 hours before I came home
from school with it on the floor. The cat popped her head up from the braches
playing with the ribbons pouncing up and down excitedly as I opened the
apartment door. Nice. Déjà vu. This already played itself out last year. … I have
yet to fix the decorations. Instead it’s propped up against the wall. I’m using
the excuse that it now looks “artistic”. Lol
I am very happy to report that the fiancé has a total of 19

Rank lists are due sometimes in
February. This is getting more and more exciting! I'm drinking more and more Yogi Stress Tea! :) haha But in all seriousness , have prepared myself that we
might be moving away from Columbus. Anger was a real emotion felt for about a
month before acceptance set in. The fiancé has very supportive about me not
wanting to leave my job. It’s so nice just to hear him say that he understands
what I am giving up potentially.
Happy Holidays!
