Getting Better

I was finally able to go to the doctor this past week. It wasn't really a big help, but it was a step in the right direction. It's always that first step that needs to be made to get things going. Kasey wasn't able to get off work, but our friend Jessica came with me. I know I'm 24 and I should be able to go to appointments on my own, but it's always nice to have emotional support. And we enjoyed an hour and a half wait in the pharmacy just to get some naproxen and pre-natal pills.

Yes, pre-natal pills; no, I'm not pregnant, yet. We are trying. And I have been having problems for a while now so I wanted to be seen. And of course the doctor freaks me out by saying maybe I had a miscarriage and the problems that were elevated maybe have been because of that. Some of those numbers would add up. He did blood work, but it's been a nightmare to even see a doctor in the first place. I have to wait to hear back to set up an appointment for an OB/GYN. So we may not ever know if I did or not. But I'm not going to dwell on the potential bad news, I have actually been more upbeat and I'm doing my best to stay positive. I don't feel any different than I used to and I'm not going to stay down. I need to stay positive and active and healthy.

This weekend has been really great. It was definitely what we both needed. And it came with good news. Our dislocation came in, and it was more than we thought it was going to be. I'm not saying that money makes happiness and that we can't make it when it's tight. I think it's actually made us stronger. We have had some pretty hard times, and we have come through them. And I haven't second guessed being married with Kasey. This year has flown by, and we have been married 10 months now. It is just nice to have a break. We went out on a date Friday night. We saw the Hunger Games and then got Applebee's to go, and came home and just hung out and watched TV. And on Saturday we got shopping done and went shooting with some of Kasey's buddies. And I held my own! We shot shotguns and Kasey's rifle and then our handguns. My shoulder still hurts and it's Monday, but it's a good hurt. I had such a blast. Then Sunday we just relaxed and then we went out and had sushi! Months later we finally get some sushi! And it was so good. It was just a good treat and a great weekend.

Spending the ups and the downs with Kasey has been an adventure, and we definitely deserved a break, spend some time together, and not worry too much about bills or something that is coming up in a week and a half. It was just, "You want to go shooting today?" "Yes, yes I do want to go shooting today."

I love my husband. So so so so much!
