studying has taken over my life.

Well, not completely. I'm very thankful to be married because my days seem...lighter. I love love LOVE it! Cannot describe how happy I am to be a married woman! I'm so blessed. When people ask how the married life is, I just say "Extremely happy. I feel like all is as it should be." Cannot thank God enough for Kevin in my life.

In other news, I was supposed to take my NCLEX this morning but I wanted an extra two days to study, so I'm taking it on Monday instead. I told Darrel and he was like "You just gave yourself 2 extra days to WORRY. Don't worry. You'll pass." I was like BUT WHAT IF I DON'T??? Actually, as nervous as I am, I'm more concerned that if I don't pass the first time (which is for free and paid for by the school if I DO pass), I'll have to pay hundreds to retake it! I better make sure I understand these things! Bleh. I've studied enough! I can't wait to get this test over with on Monday!

I was studying all day at school then Barnes N Noble :-/ Lame! But a couple of guys came over to eat after prayer meeting....


But Zach is still here (big surprise), the moment you put those two together it's a never ending discussion on theology/apologetics/interpretations on certain verses/the list goes on...! For instance, they were discussing if Adam's sin or sin nature was imputed to mankind. And then Jehovah's Witnesses and Mormons. And then Bonson. And then Sproul. And then MacArthur. And now  Romans 5. I feel like Zach will be a continual presence in this house. Kevin and I don't believe in sleeping early so he's still here...

And he's lying on the floor. And he is always wearing his shoes. And he's lying on the floor.
Kevin doesn't understand why I'm bothered. lol. Those two...

And this is random, but I have found a new interest: country music! If we ever move out of California, I really want to move to a farm. LOL. I've been driving and blasting the radio (95.1 and 105.1 FM, to be exact) and it's so fun! I love listening to the stories! About the way this dude has love for his wife, the way this woman loves her husband, the way they have broken hearts when their kids move to college, how they found out they have cancer...MAN! I am so moved and feel like I've just gone through an emotional roller coaster when I step out of my car lol! Sometimes the songs are about falling in love when you're young, but how they're not together but still think about each other constantly (reminds me of what it was like two summers ago, when Kevin and I had our conflicting emotions when I joined South Bay...sigh! Flashbacks!) Some of my new favorites to listen to: Lady Antebellum, Carrie Underwood, Brad Paisley, Rascal Flatts, Blake Shelton, The Band Perry....

It's almost 2 am. Tomorrow Kevin and Michael are throwing a Lord of the Rings Party, first watching an extended version a movie, then playing LOTR Monopoly...(HAAHAHHAHAHAHHA I love being a Gausselin!!!!) so I'm gonna study again hardcore before people show up. Goodnight!

This Is Us: Why It Hits Home

A little over two years ago, I was crying to my cousin because I had just found out I was suffering a miscarriage. Not only was it a miscarriage of a baby whom I was losing, but it was also the loss of a twin that Elianna would not grow up with. And when a person miscarries a twin early enough, the baby doesn't come out the way a typical miscarriage happens...the baby just gets reabsorbed into the mom and into the twin. "You should really watch This Is Us. The first episode is about a miscarriage too, except the character played by Mandy Moore loses a triplet." my cousin told me through her tears, as she comforted me since the wounds were so fresh. There are a lot of things within the show that I do not relate with: I never lost a dad to an unexpected death. I do not have an adoptive sibling or was adopted myself looking for a birth parent. I do not have an addiction to eating. But I could relate to miscarriage, and I do plan to adopt one day, so that's as far as ...

What's Beautycounter?

For those of you who didn't know, I've actually become a consultant for Beautycounter, a skincare and cosmetics brand that stands out for its mission to get safer products into the hands of everyone. I have truly fallen in love with the products and the ways that they lobby congress, trying to push for legislation to pass so there is more transparency in the beauty industry (each time I see pics of consultants at Capitol Hill, 19 year-old Leigh Ann the political science major comes back out!) And let's be real-I'm all about that transparent life. What you see is what you get when it comes to me... Before I go into my reasons for getting involved with Beautycounter, I wanted to make a disclaimer. I am NOT a beauty guru. I have never been super into make up or doing my hair, or even skincare other than when I am forced to control my finicky skin. I think all of my close girlfriends can attest to watching me get up, brush my teeth and wash my face, and get out the door i...

Our "New Normal"

Evangeline has been home with us for almost a month now (already?!) and we've finally created a routine...it's a "new normal" for all three of us! Currently life consists of drawing up medications, breastpumping, cleaning bottles/breaspumping accessories/syringes, feeding our baby and changing diapers. When Evangeline was born at 6 months gestation, our routine consisted of us going to the NICU for 88 days. It was exhausting and difficult, but it was the only way to see our baby (we can't stress how thankful we are that she's home!) And well, just as we got used to this "new normal," I'm going to have to get used to another "new normal" in about 2 weeks! Why? Because Kevin will be going back to work, since his paid-time off will end soon! Honestly, having a baby is already life-changing as is. But to have a baby with special needs is a lot of work! It's like an overtime job! I always ask Kevin, "What am I going to do when you...
