Crazy Cycle

So, Caleb and I are in a young marrieds community group and we're reading a book called "Love and Respect". The premise is that God created men to feel respected and women to feel loved....and when men are respected, they love; when women feel loved, they show respect. Well, when you get off this great little harmony, it's called the "crazy cycle". Caleb and I haven't spun in a while, but today was a short little spin....although it was yuck, it was good. It's always good to get feelings out on the table and work through them, even if the "working" through them feels crappy. So, it's good for us to have more of these crazy cycle moments in our life so that I don't bottle it all up like I have a tendency to do. Short and sweet fights leave me refreshed. Does that make me crazy? (Sing here).

Okay, so I promised an update. But, there's not that much going on!

This week was just crazy. Caleb worked A LOT for him. Thankfully, he doesn't have weeks like this very often, but when he does, it takes its toll. I've just had "stuff" every day and night and it leaves me completely exhausted and in a blah mood. I just made stupid little mistakes all week--like, leaving my laptop at the family I work for, and calling and waking her up to see if it's there, then cancelling study group so I could get it. Then, $217 and a numb face later, I got 3 fillings yesterday. Just blah. And then throw the Cavy troubles on top of it all....and although it's not BAD, it's just annoying.

Last weekend was filled with 2 wedding showers (1 in Austin, 1 in Dallas) and a fancy, schmancy wedding. It was great. It was a mini Westwood reunion, and it was actually good to see so many people again. When there's cocktail stations everywhere you turn, the "small talk" isn't near as awkward :).

Still job hunting. I got an email from the hiring lady at Children's saying that she has all my stuff and is very interested in me, but won't know what availability they will have come January. So, I just need to chill. I like to plan WAY in advance, and need to just trust the Lord on this one.

My exciting, nerdy news (which actually isn't that exciting) is that I was on a "high" all day Wednesday because I learned how to change a trach. Now, this may sound way boring, but no student ever gets this opportunity. My supervisor is super cool and let me do this....so, although I thought I was going to throw up b/c I was so nervous taking a trach tube and cleaning the stoma (hole in the neck) of a 12 week (15 week premature) old baby boy, I did it! It was the best sense of accomplishment I've felt in a LONG time.

Camping trip got cancelled this weekend, and it will be so nice to be home. Let's hope that UT can beat KState tomorrow!!! Off to eat fajitas with community group now :).
