Snowed in....

What a week. It's been a week full of ups and downs and I've done a lot of learning and realizing. Realization number one: I no longer have my maid of honor in my wedding. YES! My best friend in the entire world suddenly decides that she doesn't feel "honored" and no longer wants to have anything to do with me. EVER. (GASP) I know. I've been in total shock for the last 7 days. My best friend of 20 years! As you can imagine I have felt very hurt and lonely and even my family is struggling to understand this. I will admit that the last few months have been very rough for me because of my health and I haven't been the best at keeping up with everyone, but who do you turn to when you're going through times like these? Your best friend right? Sure I have Lee here, but I ONLY have Lee here. I can't take everything out on him! Your best friend is supposed to be there for you, even through the hard times..even just to listen. Apparently, according to her, I only call her when I need something or I'm "sick" and I haven't made the effort to see her when I come home. Well since I've been here, I came home only a handful of times...one being her wedding shower, another being HER wedding, and when I came home the other times it was holidays..I had to see my family! I did come home ONE time in October to do wedding-ish things and asked her to join me...but she decided to go to the beach with her friends instead..you can't deny that there was effort involved. I don't know, I guess I'm venting because I DONT have my best friend to vent to. I'm not mad that she's not in the wedding (though, I have to admit that it was VERY crappy for her to just DROP OUT and leave me hanging) I'm sad about losing my friendship. I don't feel like I lost a friend, I feel like someone close to me died..and I have no explanation for it. I tried to talk to her about it and she wouldn't..or rather everything I'd say in response to her, she'd come at me with something else and not even aknowledge the things that I was saying, so it became an endless, pointless, argument. I'm very sad but I'm lucky for the friends I do have. And I know this happend for a reason so I'm willing to see it as God's will regardless of how hard it may be. AND THAT was just Sunday!

On a lighter note..Monday rang in my week with Jake keeping Vienna. UGH, bachelor fans, that's all I'm going to say on that matter.

Just when my new job started to turn a corner..a bizarre twist arises. I had a meeting with Dr. Nuss, Dr. Kelly, my manager, Stacey, her manager, John, and two other guys. Boy, did I feel like a fish out of water.. and also a little bit important. I work in pediatric surgery. There are several doctors. Dr Nuss, who invented the "Nuss procedure" and specializes in Pectus repairs wanted to have the meeting regarding the database for all the pectus patients. (if you're yawning you can stop reading now). I am the only person in the hospital who accesses the database. I go through EVERY single patient and enter data so that the results can be presented every year at the Nuss conference at our hospital. Dr Nuss is world renowned and every year, doctors from all over the world come to learn his procedure so they can perform it on their patients. My job has a fair amount of importance. If I screw up..well..a lot of things are screwed up. Apparently the meeting was about redesigning the database because its MAJORLY outdated. This will cost thousands of dollars. I know that I'm going to have a huge part in this..meaning basically I'm designing the blueprints for the new database. Yay. Enthralled. I know I can do it but it's going to be hard...just another stress to add to my list. I am honored that they feel that I'm capable for the job, I'm just not looking forward to the next few months as much as they are I guess. haha.

Friday night...SNOW SNOW SNOW!! We have about a foot of snow here..which thankfully is already starting to melt. People canNOT drive in Hampton Roads..I can't imagine what kinda craziness the snow would cause. This is really the first SNOW they've had in 10 years.  A few dustings here and there but nothing major. A bunch of the parents at the hospital were talking about how excited their kids were for their first snow! Our kitty cats haven't really experienced snow either, so yesterday Lee and I took them out one at a time and video taped them. It was hilarious.  Pumba tried to climb up a tree he was so scared..Simone immediately ran to the front door and begged to be let in. I think fiance and I are going to go out and play in it today. yay! Im jealous that my grandparents are going on their 4th week in florida right now...BLAH!

Well, that's our week in a nutshell.....hope everyone else's was just as exciting as ours!
