I woke up this morning feeling really sick. Well, actually, I started feel gross last night... sick to my stomach, and kind of achy. I tossed and turned all last night due to chills and aches. And then when I woke up, I could tell that it wasn't any better. I was supposed to work today from 9:30-6. I debated for a while as to what to do. I attempted to get ready, but I was so sick to my stomach that I couldn't stand for too long. I also had a bit of a fever. So, I called in and told Hallmark that I was sick today. I took some tylenol, which helped, and went back to bed.

Suddenly, I heard the doorbell ring, and I knew that my dad wasn't expecting anyone. Who walks in the door, but Anthony!! He was supposed to be at work, but he shifted his schedule around so he could come and be with me! He is so wonderful :) So I think we're going to spend the day being lazy and watching 24. Even though I'm feeling lousy, my heart feels happy.

In other news, we started premarital counseling last night with John Dendiu and his wife, Diane. I think it's going to be really great (if you guys are reading, we really enjoyed it)! It wasn't anything too intense... we mostly talked the whole time about our backgrounds and our story. It will be so good to be challenged and have things to think and talk about. It will also be good to have a couple who we can ask our questions to and who can share their insights.

I officially quit Hallmark yesterday. It's hard to tell how my boss took it... she grew really quiet and didn't say much. I do feel bad that I'm leaving so soon after being hired, but I know that it's for the best. I start my job at Bethel on August 11. I'm excited about it, but a little nervous. I hope I meet their expectations. It's still a bit unreal to me that I now have a full time job. Real life, here I come!

Ok, I should go. Sorry if my writing is hard to understand... I'm still not feeling the best, and I can't seem to write easily.

Adios!
