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!
