YAY Congrats!

Will made Managing Partner a few months ago, and I got him a card and a few DVD's just as a little something to show that I am proud of him. He is always striving to be better and he is so determined and motivated! That is something I wish I had more of myself!










These were just some little craftey things I did for work for Valentines and St. Patricks day....

A Recap of my B-E-A-utiful Flowers!

Yup these were all JUST BECAUSE he loves me! =)

Sick and Wills Birthday

I went to the doctor Monday after work feeling pretty sick. I do work at a clinic but taking time out of your work hours to see a doctor is apparently not supposed to happen. I tried to avoid the conversations they might have if I went to the doctor during my shift, so I waited until I got off and went to the Direct Care. I was there 2 hours and I have a sinus infection, and pharyngitis (sore throat that is swollen, making it hard to swallow and speak) I was in bed all day yesterday and most of today. I just got up and ate lunch and decided I should be somewhat productive since I never get any pictures uploaded!... This past weekend was Will's 28th Birthday! His best Friend had his wedding the same day so while they were all at the wedding I got my dad to help me make water balloons and had planned on decorating his porch the the appartment with streamers and balloons.






(they kind of look like easter eggs in the baskets!)

We got 250 water balloons made that I put in a blow up football stadium cooler that holds drinks. Dad was a life saver! I couldn't find anyone in town that could help me do this within an hour!

After we picked up all the balloons and fun stuff we went to decorate. We (me and mom) got the front door finished with a gold tablecloth over it with birthday stickers, then had 2 pinatas a army man, and football (since they like to break things! and the pool of water balloons and balloons across the railing) just as I was about to do all the streamers Will pulled up and busted me :( but it all turned out alright, Jody and Brian went up stairs while Will and I talked down stairs...all I heard was hey are these water balloons? then the fight started! they were upstairs and guarded by the balloons we had just put on the railing and we were out in the open! Luckily we made so many balloons we couldn't fit them all into the football stadium blow up so I pulled out a basket from my trunk to throw back! Here are some pictures from my phone since I still dont have a camera, sorry if they are blurry.












After the fight, I went home to get ready for the night, him and his friends went to a movie. I gave him his gifts (4 polo's, 2 pair of work out shorts, and a giftcard to Gamestop, and my parents gave him a gift card to Roadhouse), I was exhausted at that point and went to bed, They all went out to eat for dinner.

Officer ---------------

Tonight is Officer announcments! Tuesday night we stayed for about 3 hours at the belles room until 10:30 or 11 just drawing the sign out. Wednesday night we stayed until almost 1 am finishing the fish and Aerial and then painting and glittering all the letters! Last night we finally FINISHED around 11:30. If only we had another night to do a little more glittering or add a lobster or... well you get the picture. All in all it turned out really well! I took pictures (with my phone) and they look really good I must say! Sometime ....like all the other posts... Ill put pictures up!

Because I stayed up the past few nights I havent seen Will until 12 or 1 am and by that time we were both exhausted and just went to sleep. maybe tonight after announcmentsand when he gets off work at 9ish we will get to see each other! James wedding rehersal is tomorrow, Will hasnt told me anything about the times or what the plans are (since he is the best man) so we will see how everything goes!

WOW

Will just suprised me at work with a gorgeous bouquet of 1 dozen red roses! I was a little suspicious yesterday when he asked me where my office was... I ate lunch with him today at the restaurant and everything was fabulous! I was back at work only 1 hour left in the day; as I was working on some fish and Aerial pictures for Emily's Officer sign I turn around and Will is putting Red Roses on my desk! I didnt even hear him come in the door or anything, complete suprise! (Needless to say all the other girls were jealous!) I know I have a absolutley amazing guy! He is definatley a keeper! My phone is about die, I'll try to get a picture and sometime I will post all of the gorgoeus flowers he has given me! Ah to be inlove!!!

Cute and Ironic

Will and I have been really busy this past week and have harldy gotten to see each other. We hung out last thursday, and then him and his friends went out of town for one of his brothers graduations from the Academy. They spent the night in Austin and came back Friday. Since my knee was swollen I just stayed home with it propped up. Saturday night Will was dealing with some work kitchen problems and I went out with a bunch of old high school friends, it was a lot of fun, but I guess what can you expect even though we aren't in high school there was still a little bit of drama. Sunday I got to see Will and it was so nice to spend quality time with him just watching TV. Monday I felt so sick and was in bed by 8pm and slept until 7am! Tuesday Will had the Carinos Wine Dinner to set up and cook, so he was at work most of the night, and I got a call from Lauren and Debbie needing help with Emily's Officer sign for announcments Friday night. Kinda Ironic that I am making an Officer sign (since I am the only one in all our dance groups that never made it). I drew it out in pencil last night and am helping them paint and glitter it tonight and tomorrow! Hopefully it will look good and Ill take a picture to show you the results! So back to me and Wil not hardly seeing each other... he sent me a text and wanted to see if I wanted to go eat lunch at Carinos today so we could finally see each other! kinda sad because We have been so busy, but I am hoping after I get done with the sign tonight we will get to hangout! He was so cute acting all inlove =) he is normally such a mans man, and its nice to see him just gaze into my eyes. I know it sounds like a romance novel... what can I say, We are Inlove with each other! His birthday is Sunday! the big 28! and James one of his brothers is getting married sunday too!

Well I will keep you updated with the sign and Will, Hope you have a good week!

Work Drama, and Knee Problems

Thursday my knee was swollen huge. This usually happens twice a year and I usually wait for it to get huge before I go get it drained. However; I just got it drained 3 weeks ago and it had already swelled up again. On my lunch break thursday I called my knee doctor (Carney) but he coulsn't get me in for 2 weeks so I tried to see the doctor at trinity clinic (Whitfield) but she was full until 3:00. So I had already built up 30 minutes overtime so I went and saw her at 3pm. She said since she just drained the fluid a few weeks ago she didnt want to do it again. She referred me to Dr. Wes Castle and made me an appointment for Friday at 3:30.

I took a lunch Friday and was an extra hour late because I had to run to mom's work and get the medical payment card she has, and get the insurance card from my brother then go home and get some shorts to wear to the appointment. I called to let the Lead know I was going to be late. When I arrived back from lunch the Lead told me she had sent an email out, she was not trying to pick on me but when you have an appointment you should not take a lunch too. It is not a requirement but it is considered to be the polite thing to do. She told me that the Director came by and because the Lead had let everyone go for lunch it left her by herself for 15 minutes and she had calls back to back. She had blamed it on me for taking a lunch and having a doctors appointment. She said she had to send that email out to cover her back. So at this point I am kinda furious! So I sent an email out to my boss and the Director telling them my story, and what she had told me.

I finally leave for my appointment and get there about 3:20. Of course this would happen on my already bad day... I missed the appointment. Instead of 3:30 it was at 3:00 and the doctor had already left. So my knee is huge still no one can drain it unless I go to the ER (which I am stubborn and wont go). I got the appointment rescheduled for today at 8:30am.

So today at the appointment Dr. Tobola (which looked about 5 years older than me!) did the main assessment, then took X-ray's of my left knee and then right to compare. Just by looking at them she said I have Arthritis of my left knee, and some unusal extra bone growth. She drained my knee and it had gone down a ton! I was shocked she got 30 cc of fluid out of it (usually they get about 60-80cc of fluid) she also got a bunch of blood lab work, and is getting me scheduled with an Rheumatologist, and to get an MRI next week. There might have to be a surgery, but I am just taking things one step at a time. The blood work should come back in a few days so I'll know more then.

I came into work this afternoon not looking foward to the response of the email I sent Friday to the Director. It was suprisingly nice and she told me I needed to take care of my knee and that she was in no way upset with me! (THANK GOODNESS!) So hopefully everything will work itself out.
