And Then Sometimes They Work Out

It's really a great feeling when your plans finally do work out the way you hoped they would ;)

Surgery went great! It was successful, and I recovered quickly. Also, I love general anesthesia. That was the best nap I've had in 3 years!! I didn't wake up super groggy and sick from hours of surgery like I did with my valve replacement. I was way comfortable and felt so stinkin' refreshed! I slept most of that day off and on, and I definitely remember the car ride home as I was zoning in and out. I may or may not have almost hit my head on the dashboard a few times. I don't know. But the next day I was back to work and feeling great!

I loved that our plan that had been in the works for almost a year finally went through and everything went wonderfully! Let's hope our next plan to have another little this year will fall into place. If not, that's okay. As long as I get pregnant at least sometime in the future because we just spent a butt load on surgery ;)

As for the plan to be Coke-free: it's going well, actually. I'm not craving it nearly as bad as I thought I would... yet. I have started craving chocolate like a maniac, though. Substitution? Probably. At least it's less caffeine, right??

Also, this month I have been re-accepted to BYUI in hopes of getting into their nursing program (online classes for this year to prep for applying). I also was assigned the Spring/Fall track that I was hoping for. I don't do well in the snow and cold, and going during the winter last time seriously made it hard to even go to classes, let alone warm up and pay attention :)

All in all it's been a really great month! Things can keep up like this all year; that would be just fine with me!! Welcome, 2014!
