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!

One Week Left

In exactly one week, Kevin has to decide where he will go for school...will it be Rochester, Miami, or UMass? He's still waitlisted at UMass so we aren't sure about that just yet, but we are actually visiting Rochester in a few days to see how we feel! His Miami trip was stressful to say the least. Evangeline had been sick the entire week beforehand, and Kevin even called the pediatrician to make sure it was okay to leave. The doc had been under the impression Evangeline was sick with strep throat, fever, and cold. But I felt like it was worse, and that it was progressing to become pneumonia. The doc gave Kevin the go, and once he landed in Miami, not only was Evangeline still sick, but Elianna got a 103 fever! It was a hot mess in our home. Both girls went to ER, Evangeline had gotten admitted and was in the hospital for five whole days due to bilateral pneumonia (which is the worst it's ever been!) Kevin was out of town for the first time ever, and it was just exhaustin...

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 ...

California Love

I still remember Kevin calling my cell phone as I volunteered at Evangeline's co-op February 7, 2019. I was worried because he usually never called on mornings, and I thought something was wrong. I immediately answered saying, "Kev, are you ok???" And he shouted, "WE ARE GOING TO ROCHESTER, BABY!!!!" To that, I howled with joy, and started laughing like a maniac. Kevin had been applying for PhD programs the last two months and dedicated blood, sweat, and tears to having a bomb mission statement and working hard for a high GRE score. After a lot of stress and being disappointed in his ultimate score, and over $1,000 spent on prep material and applications, it was a HUGE weight lifted off his shoulders! And mine too... he spent so many days worried that no school would accept him because in his words: "It is REALLY competitive to get into a PhD program...and even harder to get a tenure position after all that time dedicated to school." So he stal...
