Faithful Journey

I titled my whole blog this for a very specific reason. Dane and I have been on a pretty rough rollercoaster trying to get into our chosen medical schools ... his pharmacy and mine radiology. At the end of several long conversations we both decided to apply to schools in Houston and then pray like crazy that we both got in.

**At this point I'd just like to note that I absolutely HATE houston with a passion but we promised each other that if we sacrificed these next few yrs in this dreadful town for our future then as soon as we graduate its on to bigger and better things out of the city and into the country ... this statement might not be relevent at this particular moment but I assure you it will further down the road.**

We never dreamed in a million years that either one of us let alone both of us would actually get in!!!

Don't get me wrong I know being accepted and moving to Houston is an unbelievable opportunity for both of us and it can bring nothing but good things for our future and our relationship but .... it couldn't have come at a worst time for me. I love where I live. I love my roommates. I love my job and I was just offered a promotion that I grudgingly had to turn down. I love San Antonio!!!!! I mean I have everything I need here ... doctor, tanning salon, bank, hair dresser, tailor, outdoor mall, camping, great sushi restaurants .... and I'm sure Houston has all these things (minus camping) but I'm already situated here. I have a life here ... granted this life isn't physically with Dane but our relationship has been strong enough in the past to withstand greater distances than this.

My point to all of this rambling is that I titled my blog Faithful Journey because thats exactly what my life is full of right now ... blind faith. And I know that by God leading us down this path that it will be a long hard journey that will open great doors for us in the future. It's just going to be a little difficult for me to leave my comfort zone.

Although I'm not looking forward to moving in the least bit Dane and I both are pretty excited to finally be going to school with a purpose and knowing that at the end of this we will be helping so many people!

"some pages turned, bridges burned but there were lessons learned..."

I promised myself that I'd never write about this or waste time talking about it because its simply just not worth it. But I would, however, just like to say that it's sad when someone you know becomes someone you knew ... although on the other hand I'm glad I found out now that someone I was very close to is nowhere near the person I thought she was. Better to find out now rather than at a really inopportune time (i.e. mine and dane's wedding) ... especially considering the role that would've been played. Nevertheless it's sad and disappointing ... oh well.

On a lighter note I'd like to talk about our recent vacay to the river last weekend. I was able to catch up with an old friend that I haven't talked to since high school. We kinda hung out with different crowds in high school so we weren't "close" friends but after this past weekend I wish we would've. It would've been loads of fun. Better late than never I guess.

Also a couple of Dane's friends (which after this weekend I feel like I can start labeling them as my friends also lol) were able to drive down from AR to come and we had a BLAST with them! They're hilarious!!!! I wish they lived closer so we could have many more adventures. And of course Priss and i ALWAYS have fun together! I must say I'm pretty excited to get to call her a sister one of these days!

Of course I have to note just how cute and down-right-cramp-in-your-side-hilarious my boyfriend is. Anyone who knows Dane knows how sensitive his little feet are. Well there was a little stretch on the river where we had to pick up our toobs and walk over rocks (keep in mind Dane was too cool to get water shoes so he decided to wear his older than dirt Old Navy flip flops). So while everyone else was just cruisin over these rocks wearing their shoes Dane was dragging his toob and the cooler over them all the while trying so hard not to cuss out loud when his flips flops broke with every step and he would stub his toe or (God forbid) the bottom of his feet actually touched the rocks. I was ahead of him laughing so hard that my side and cheeks hurt ... oh and it made me get the hiccups later! lol!

Even though Cade's phone was stolen, we were almost eaten by a snake, we were burnt to a crisp, and the bottom of our feet are prolly skinless (thanks to the rocks) I'd say it was a GREAT weekend!!!!

Bandwagon...

Ok so I've finally broken down and joined the bandwagon with the whole blogging and twitter hype. Before joining I was fairly confident in the fact that it would be simple to set up considering I've had myspace and facebook. HA! Needless to say its a little more in depth than what I thought. Haven't made up my mind if I'm going to keep it yet or not ... mainly because my life isn't that interesting (especially since I'll be moving back to Houston in a couple of weeks) but also because I don't need one more thing to distract me from school. Anyway I figured I'd give it a go...
