The wedding on saturday was probably the most beautiful wedding ill ever go to. Sarah was absolutely beautiful, she looked as though she belonged in a bridal magazine. It was so evident that these two truly loved each other. I credit them for changing my pessimistic and cynical views on love.

my uncle married them and taked alot about the Bible and what it says on marriage. He spoke of Genesis, the beginning, when God created the world he made man and for the first time said "it was not good" because man was alone. He fastened Eve for Adam , who was like him. He created someone to make this relationship and love to reflect how God loves us so that we could feel it and become one with one person and create a life with them. He said that there is this one person for us created to reflect God, to show us his love. I thought this was beautiful.

That God so loved us to give this love to us is amazing. to reflect his love. To make us better people.

The reception was beautiful as well, alcohol free but a lot of fun regardless... we had party favors of playing cards because Tad does magic tricks with them and bot h sarah and tad love to play games...i thought this was a unique gift.

it was held at the masonic temple , the servers were all older men , i had ordered lasagna and the man, with his hands shaking, gave me chicken, so i didnt tell him it was the wrong plate, i didnt have it in my heart! i just ate the chicken!

i ended up catching the bouquet!!! which was a fun event, ive never caught the bouquet before!. I danced with my daddy and family and new friends and just had a wonderful time!

It was a great set up to pass the HESI on monday which i totally didnt think i wouild be able to do. I had studied after the rehearsal dinner at the hotel, and while i was getting my hair done, and all day sunday. i cried a lot on monday, including a few times during the exam because i jsut didnt feel as thought it was going well. i was in a office by myself which did take a bit of the stress off, and i took many breaks, never looked at the time. at the end it took me over 3 hours and after i hit the final question i covered my eyes and didnt want to look at my score w hich i was sure was not good! but i passed it!! with a 917!! such a relief!!! Dr. batten hugged me and it felt so good to be done with this chapter in my life.

now comes the job hunt and trying to figure out where to move which is bringing a lot of pressure to me from a lot of people to move certain places. i just need to leave it up to God, i trust that where i get the job is where i belong....

its just proof that things do work out in time! just keep on smiling and trucking along!!

yesterday with my first free day of no studying i went to the pool,. read a book that was completely mindless with no point or serious topic that i havent read in a while, and it was wonderful although now my face and chest and shoulders are bright pink!!! now i start the job search, clothing organzing, room organzing, getting everything done that i put off for a month or 2 while i studied....its wonderful! although still weird! =) ill start studying again on monday but not as intensley in order to keep in the game for when i take the NCLEX In a month or so!

yay!
