Giving In to Boost My Spirits

Ok that is the dress....not on me (In case you couldn't tell). I really like it. I should take the princess dress off of here cause I really liked that one too. I just though a view of it would boost my less than sparkling spirits today.

...this week has been pretty stressful. Johnny hasn't been in to work since last friday and won't be going back for another few days at least.

Here's the skinny: Johnny's back was giving him problems (as usual) last thursday and I made him do some stretches with me. (NOTE: What follows is NOT my fault) The next morning he woke up with INTENSE pain in his back and numbness down his leg and the bottom of his foot. Doesn't tell me he's numb until I was over at his house that night around 11:30 so then I (in my drama queen way) panicked and made him go to the ER. They diagnosed him with sciatica and told him to stretch it and heat it and get to physical therapy as soon as possible. Physical Therapy was yesterday and had not improved...AT ALL. So they said it was a problem with his spine, either a herniated or ruptured disk. His MRI at 7 this morning showed it was herniated. Which sucks...but its good because now we know what is actually wrong and it can be treated without surgery.

It stinks that he hurts and I know he's miserable....but I am really enjoying him being off of work.....that's bad I know but I like being able to spend time with him. [EDITED! Dumb mean comment removed by author!]

Sorry...that was selfish and I like my Wedding stuff so you should be excited Halley coming out there a little. But yeah so that's what's going on in my world. Hope everything in yours is bright sunshine and daisies (which happens to be a lot like my wedding stuff). Have a fantasmic evening! :D

Oh Happy Day....

You know you wanna sing the song...sing it loud and proud!!! I just got off the phone with the director of financial aid at the U and they are pulling my account out of collections!!!! What does this mean: it means that they remove the $1600 + fees that were added to my tuition. It also means that with the same loan I can pay them, pay off my credit card, and my $700+ taxes and still be paying less a month than I already am. It ALSO means that I can get back to school in the fall and FINALLY finish this degree up!! I can not begin to tell you the HUGE sigh of relief I have already begun to breathe.

On another, non-scholastic note: My mom found some GREAT deals on wedding stuff last night! She found a bunch of bright colored, high gloss little buckets with daisy cut-outs around the top that we're just going to fill with a little bit of sand and a bunch of white daisies. They were $2-4 dollars a pop. And she found some bright paper lanterns for the dance floor for a remarkably low price of 2 dolla' THANK YOU HOBBY LOBBY POST-EASTER SALE!!

Also I finally got my New York City Ballet Work-out DVD...and my bum has been kicked! But in the best way possible! My legs were a little tired by the end but I wasn't hurting...just sweating and panting (LOL) but by the time I walked downstairs to my room (a whole 5 minutes) I was feeling it. And I'm still feeling it. I only feel it in my abs when I laugh but my legs are burning and I can feel it in my shoulders and back. Woohoo dance...I'm trying the second workout tonight. I hope I can walk in the morning!!
