I quite almost broke my nose today. Well, actually, Matthew quite almost broke my nose today. Remember the time me and him were having a wonderful day in the snow and he threw me on a pile of ice masquerading as a innocent soft pile of snow? Well, I was about to make a comment to him about it because I could see a quite similar occurrence... occurring... but it didn't. So I didn't. And two seconds later my nose was feeling the back of his head full on. We make up and play a lot of weird games that are very amusing to us... and not to anyone else. Like a finger war of who can open theirs while the other is holding them shut in a death grip. It's hard. Games like that. We were playing such game when he sat down and the back of his head came careening into my poor little nose. Crack. You heard it. He heard it. I felt it. Stars were shining pretty brilliantly in my eyes that time. Ice was quickly applied. And after my eyes stopped watering, I felt around to see if there was any serious damage. My first thought when it happened was, "Oh no! He pushed my nose into my brain and now I'm going to die!" Yeah, I can get kinda dramatic sometimes. Nothing was broken. Nothing is super swollen. And so far, there isn't even any bruising. That's what happens when you don't have much of a bridge to your nose. A blessing in disguise I suppose.

So my head still hurts. And I don't quite know what to do about it. I will soon go to bed for the night. I have so much to do and so little time to do it. Work is being... well... ridiculous. Next week I have to work 38 hours. That's right. So I'm calling in on Saturday if somebody doesn't take my shift. I feel I am entitled to that. That's right, I have a horrible work ethic. Next semester it should be better. I surely hope so. Pray I find a new job where I can have weekends off. I know that sounds too good to be true, but there are a lot of jobs like that. Nannying, schools, daycares, office work. I'll hopefully be able to find something. I really want my Saturdays free. I know, I'm lazy.

I have been falling more and more in love... with my ring! hehe. And the giver of the ring as well. We have been working through a lot of the small details in our relationship that needed to be sorted out before the wedding. This premarital counseling class we're in right now has really been helping. I am enjoying it too. I hope we can find a good couple to counsel us personally next semester. I'm sure in all of Lynchburg we'll be able to find someone.

Josh leaves for Iraq this weekend. Sad. It's so strange thinking that he'll be over there. Really. Everyone please be praying for him and for our family. Jamie will be in Texas all by herself. I definitely was not cut out to be a military wife. I couldn't handle all the moving around. And if he got sent somewhere to fight, I would be alone in the house all the time. I'm not a go outer and meet people kind of person. I'm a loner. People need to come to me. Selfish, I know. And pretty sad. Maybe Matt and I can make a trip out to visit her sometime.

Ok. My nose really hurts now. Bed time. Ok.
