I'd Rather Be Busy

Google Reader is going away at the end of the week.  You can now follow me on Bloglovin.  www.bloglovin.com still under the  Some See Sarah name. 

I am currently on a 2 week break from school.  During this time I am trying to pick up more hours at work, but that is hard because EVERYONE is trying to pick up more hours at work.  I am finding that I am a lot more happy when I am busy.  Even though it is stressful to be busy, and at times I hate waking up at 5am and not going to bed until midnight, I am a lot more happy.  I am more happy with myself, with my relationship, with my life, etc.  This week, since I don't have school to worry about, I am finding myself just sitting at home and thinking about life.  This turns into depressive thoughts.  This effects my work, my relationship, my friendships, etc.  I don't know why I think that my life sucks, or that I would have a better life somewhere else, because my life doesn't suck.  I am happy where I am, with my husband, with where my life is going to go.  I just need to keep busy for this next week and a half. 

With that said, you would think I am working out more... I haven't been.  I did go to the Y today because it was too hot to run outside.  I used to think running outside was harder than running on the treadmill, I proved myself wrong today.  I started running on the treadmill and put the towel over the time/distance so I wasn't tempted to look at it.  My run seemed like it was going on forever!  I finally looked down and I had only gone 1.15 miles.  ugh.. this is going to be a long workout.  So now, I did it, I looked, and now I can't stop thinking about how long it's going to take me to run 3 miles.  My mind got the best of me.  I stopped after 2 miles.  Running outside may be physically harder, but I know when I reach the 1 mile, 2 mile, 3 mile mark by destinations, and it is way easier to run towards a destination than it is to just keep running on a treadmill hoping you have gone as far as you think you have gone.  So it looks like I have to wake up early to get a run in because the temp outside will be cooler.  I have a 10k coming up in October and need to be able to run 6.2 miles by then!!

This week I also had an ItWorks! wrap party.  This company has been blowing up all over my facebook so I thought I would try it out.  I did a wrap on Monday and noticed a half inch loss off my stomach.  So I guess it does work!  I ordered more wraps and I also got a greenie drink mix and fat blocker supplements.  I will let you know what I think of them once I get them!

Until next time!

11~11~11

I am linking up with some other bloggers to share about my wedding. 

Nate and I got married on 11-11-11.  The number has has always been prevelent in our marriage, example, when ever we see the clock at 11:11 we make sure the other knows about it (this was even before we were married).  Then we moved into our first house, and the address was 1111.  So we though since it landed on a Friday that year, why not have it on 11-11-11.  Once we decided that I had to get my baptism certificate for the church and holy crap, what day did I get baptised on... 11-11-84!! I think it was fate. 

 

 

As you can see we got married in a Catholic church.  Not my choice.  Nate is Catholic, I grew up Methodist.  I wanted at the church I grew up in, but after a long, long, couple month long disagreement, I gave in.  I will realize in the future, I will give in a lot to make him happy.  That's what being married is all about right??  I am happy we were married there, the pictures are amazing. 

 

Our reception was at a hotel about 2 blocks away from the church and 4 blocks away from all the bars.  Perfect location! 

 

 

This was what our receptionroom looked like.  It was perfect.  I hired a decorator - best decision I made for the wedding. 

 

 

The bridal party consisted of 5 bridesmaids and 5 groomsmen, 2 ushers, flower girl and ring bearer.  I origionally had the girls pick out their own style of dress, but it had to be the same color and fabric.  Once 2 of them picked out the same style I changed the rule and everyone had to wear the same thing.  I wanted either all different or all the same.  I thought this dress they picked out was awesome, and flattered everyone.  

 

 

 

 

The colors were a deep purple,  The guys wore all black with deep purple ties.  Flowers were deep purple calalillies and white roses.  Oh, and the flowers were all fake...yep, didn't want to spend 70 dollars on a bouquet, when I could spend 25 on mine and 12 on the girls'... and I still have my bouquet.. and all the bridesmaids bouquets. 

 

 

The first dance was to "At Last" by Etta James.

 

 

 

Father Daughter Dance was "I loved her first" by some country singer...

 



 

And then the party started!!!

 

 

 

Best day of my life. 

 

 

Our honeymoon didn't really come until February 2012.. but we brought his son and his mom.. so I still think it was more of a family vacation.  It was fun, but not what I think a honeymoon should be.  Hopefully after school is done we will have a baby-making-vacation.  Only us. No mother-in-laws and no children :)

 

 

What would I change?  There really isn't much I would change.  It was about as perfect as it was going to get.  Yes, there were MINOR things that didn't go perfectly.. but I didn't let it bother me.  I think I might have splurged a little more on the photography and got a videographer.  I wasn't too impressed with the pictures and it would be nice to have a video of the day. 

 

After the wedding I really had wedding withdrawls.  I couldn't believe it was over, something I waited my whole life for.  I loved planning it, even though some times it was stressful, and if I looked at one more flower I was going to burst! but I truely missed it.  Now we are married... now what?!?! :)

 

 



 

 

 



 

 

3 miles and hopefully a blog win!



I am entering a contest to try to grow my blog.  God knows I need some help with this thing, so hopefully I can get the chance to win to talk with some of the top bloggers around!!!

This morning I had to take a psychosocial nursing proctored exam.  It went better than I thought, I scored a level 2 out of 3  which is slightly better than average.  That test pretty much just said that if I were to take the boards right now, in psychosocial nursing part of the exam I would pass.  I take the boards in January. 

After the test I went on a 3 mile run.  The run went fine... didn't help I passed about 20 cross country runners... all guys... awesome.  - Or I should say they passed me haha.

 

This was after my run. OH yeah, Nate made me color by hair black yesterday. 

 

Ok, he didn't MAKE me.. but he highly suggested it - and paid for my color/cut (which was MUCH needed).

 

It is still growing on me, I think it's a little too dark, but Nate thinks it's hot.. so we will go with it for a little while :)

 

 

I sent him this picture yesterday when I got home and was still mad about the color haha... that's my I'm pissed face.

 

So I know, this was a random post.. hopefully I can win this giveaway, I would love to grow my blog more while I am on my journey of becoming a runner and a nurse :)
