Feel Good Anyway...


So Trevor is leaving me for the weekend. He has a Jazz competition in Reno. I can't come because the school is paying for their transportation and hotel rooms, and he has to share a room so it would be pointless for me to make the trip alone and stay alone in some hotel room... oh well.
This is only the second time since we have been married that we will be apart from each other for more then 24 hours :( The first time totally and completely sucked, so who knows how this time will be. At least this time he will only be gone for the weekend and not 5 days! I better get used to it because I am sure the future will bring many more times where we will be separated. I always thought people were lame for being so complainy when their spouses left for a bit... like "hello, it isn't that big of deal!" And well, I guess it isn't that big of deal... but now that I am married I totally understand. Your life just ISN'T the same for the time that he is away. Life just isn't as great when you don't get to see them, your day just isn't quite right.
Anyways, I shall survive. I have enough studying to do with finals coming up, and I really need to work on not stressing myself out. A couple months ago I got really worked up and stressed out about mid-terms and school and ended up having some actual physical consequences and problems because of it. I had always heard stress can really affect your body, but never really fully believed it. Well I totally do now. So I have been working on not stressing myself out. Doing all the stress relieving things. The past month it really has helped, and my issues went away. I just don't want them coming back again, and with finals coming up I can feel me starting to worry about tests and final assignments. So I am just going to breath, relax, focus, stay in control, haha.
One thing I did this week was pick some BEAUTIFUL tulips we have growing out in our front yard. I read that plants can help with stress, and I really do love having fresh beautiful flowers around. They just make you happier. Can you believe these are all over our neighborhood? I Love it. I also read that people who own dogs have healthier hearts and less stress (This information when related to Trevor did NOT help in my attempts to get a puppy...) So this weekend I am going to stay calm about school and life, not stress out. Hang out with a girlfriend (Lauren, so EXCITED!) to keep my mind of missing Trevor, and get started on some Finals and end of the semester projects. I CAN DO IT!
Hope everyone has an amazing weekend :)



ENJOY YOUR WEEKEND!

  2. Ah my husband had to go on some business trips last fall and he was gone for 10 days on one of them! We had dated long distance England to America for 8 years, and we've gone 8 months without seeing each other so you'd think I could handle 10 days! I was so sad the whole time haha. Hope you have fun with your girl friends though!

  4. I think after the week I've had I better plant a garden in my room. I totally know the physical effects of stress, and they are no fun. Good luck with finals!

  5. Those tulips are gorgeous. I would continue to cut them and enjoy them in your home. You can enjoy everyone else's that are planted outside. Good job on the stress thing. That's what has caused my vertigo the two times I've had it. It is weird how your body can do that even when you think you are handling the stress pretty good. Besides working out you should also try yoga. I hear that's good also. I love you! You'll have a fun time with Lauren and you'll do great on your finals! I'm proud of you!!

  12. You and your husband seem like such a beautiful couple! You are so precious, your pictures just spell out love. I can only imagine how hard it would be to be separated, even for a little bit -- but it will be that much sweeter when he returns :]

    Enjoy yourself in the meantime, good luck with de-stressing! I certainly know how that goes...!

  13. Okay, I get sad when my Husby leaves for work in the morning. A weekend would suck even more. I feel you. I think plants totally help with stress, especially flowers. Love the tulips in your picture. Stress can cause all kinds of physical symptoms, it's so crazy. Glad you are consciously trying to keep your stress levels to a minimum. I'm such a dog person, I'm totally pushing for you guys to get a dog, if for no other reason than you might post pictures of the cute little pup. Have a relaxing weekend!

  21. my husband gets back next weekend and he will have been gone for a whole month! we've had a lot of long distance stuff: from going to college across the US from eachother, spending a half year of our first year of marriage in different states and now business trips. I have definitely gotten used to it but i miss his hugs and can't wait until he comes home!
