I've been sick since Saturday night. It is discouraging to be sick again. I wish that I could have just skipped this sickness because I have so much to do. The bummer thing is that what I have to do this week involves going out and watching senior fitness classes. But I can't do that while I am coughing up a storm. I also had to miss my internship this morning. We aren't allowed to go in while we are sick. Hopefully I am better by Thursday so I can get everything done. I know that things will work out and I will be done with school soon. In two weeks from tomorrow I will take my last final. In two weeks from Saturday I will be home for Christmas. I know I'm supposed to be enjoying these last weeks of school. But it's hard to when I'm sick and not feeling good. I just want to be home.

I used to wear my purity ring on my left hand. It reminded me of God's love and what He did for me so that I could be considered pure in His eyes. It also reminded me of my promise to Him and to my future husband. Now I wear my engagement ring. It reminds me of Brandon's love for me. It reminds me of everything that Brandon gave up gladly for me. It also reminds me of my promise to him and his promise to me and that we are getting married soon. I am blessed to have his love.

Sometimes love is tested. But true love, when tested, never fails.

I spent quite a bit of time today working on invitations. I have now addressed all the invitations except for twenty-two. The twenty-two consist of friends at school and incomplete addresses. I will finish those up in the next few days hopefully. I mailed a bunch of invites today and am planning on dropping the rest into a post office box tonight.

I still have a bunch of things that I need to organize and get done. But it will have to wait until December.

Brandon and I are driving down to my grandparents tonight. We are all going to be celebrating Thanksgiving together. I'm looking forward to seeing family and hanging out with them tomorrow and during the weekend as well.

My Thanksgiving break has been mostly good so far. My bridal shower was awesome and I've spent a lot of time with family and friends. Brandon and I have had a quite a bit of time together as well.

We bought our rings today. They are being engraved and will be ready for pick up in December. We are having "Love never fails" engraved into our rings. I'm so excited about them. They are simple but will mean so much to us when we exchange them at our wedding. It is crazy to think that we are going to wear those rings for the rest of our lives. Yeah, buying the rings meant a lot to me today.

I still have so much to do and so little time. I don't think that I will be able to accomplish everything that I would like to. But that is okay because I still have time in December, once I graduate, to finish things like cleaning and organizing my room. That is a huge project that will take a few days or maybe even a whole week.

Today was really busy with class, test, lunch, another test, break and then class. My professor was talking about thinking positively and how it affects the brain. She also talked about anxiety and depression. For some reason I left class feeling bummed and depressed. Depression is a new emotion to me. I'm not used to it and at first it scared me. But in class today I realized that I have only experienced a small amount of depression. For some people it consumes them. I'm thankful that I don't deal with that much.

I'm missing Brandon a lot right now. We just talked on the phone for a few minutes but I want to be with him. Only 26 hours left. I've been keeping an hour countdown the whole day.

Right now I'm so tired that I could cry. I wish my Thanksgiving break would be more restful but it's going to be busy and involves a LOT of driving before the holiday itself. My schedule for the break looks like this:

Friday: sleep in, laundry, dojo
Saturday: Bridal Shower and my little brother's birthday party
Sunday: Church and family time
Monday: Chiropractor and possibly swing dancing with Brandon, work on homework
Tuesday: Hang out with friends or get stuff done around the house
Wednesday: Pack and drive down to spend Thanksgiving with extended family
Thursday: Thanksgiving
Friday and Saturday: Hangout with family and homework
Sunday: Church and my grandmother's birthday party, head back to school

Today was a rough day. I woke up really congested and not feeling well. But I felt better after a shower and breakfast. I went to my internship and succeeded in not coughing or sneezing the whole morning while I was there. I don't want to spread my germs around but I also needed the hours. I felt better for most of the afternoon. But then I really tuckered out around dinner time. Dinner was really good. I ate a lot and am now feeling really sleepy. I still have to study for my test tomorrow. So I'll be doing that and looking forward to talking to Brandon tonight.

I hope I'll be feeling better by Thursday...
