Prednisone

Side effects may include: restless leg syndrome, insomnia, and increased appetite.

Also known as: impatience with your lab group because you've sat their for 3 hours writing a one page paper 6 different ways, witty 6am blog posts, and an excuse to eat as much as you want for a week. :)

I'm a big believer in mind over matter. I think a lot of 'side effects' are brought on because we MAKE our mind believe them. When you look at studies and clinical trials for common drugs, typically if a side effect is "common" between 10-20% of the people experience it. But if you talk to someone in the pharmacy or even in general about their medications its amazing how many people experience side effects. Myself include.
Because really, I'm a college grad student, got no more than 6 hours of sleep every night but TWO in the last 3 weeks, and here it is 6am, 3 hours before I need to get up and I'm wide awake. And have been since 4:30. So I mean I should be exhausted right? If not, I will be in a few hours about 1/2 through round 2 of pharmacy school interviews (which I'm co-chair of this year.)

Ok enough of my prednisone ramblings. What's going on in my life
.
Sean and I are doing pre-marital counseling. And really enjoying it.
We found a place to live and it's a grown-up apartment we are really excited about.

We're praying daily about where God will put us in August. The pharmacy rotation choices are in, it's now up to a randomized number system. (Which He has complete control over thank goodness!)

I am knee deep in school, wedding planning, and bridesmaid duties for 2 weddings in May! I have at least 6 showers this semester, and that's just between the 3 of our weddings! (Two of which I am planning- so much fun!)
And look at that handsome redhead I get to call mine in 5 months and 3 weeks. Just a glimpse at our engagement pictures we got a good while ago that I haven't had time to enjoy yet!

And if you need a photographer or ANYTHING creatively designed try Amber. She is an incredible woman using her gifts to glorify God! (And where our Save the Dates, invitations, etc. etc. are coming from...and engagement pictures!)

I've rambled enough. Maybe I'll go be productive until 9.
