twilight.

"Before you, my life was like a moonless night. Very dark, but there were stars---points of light and reason...and then you shot across my sky like a meteor. Suddenly everything was on fire; there was brilliancy, there was beauty. When you were gone, when the meteor had fallen over the horizon, everything went black. Nothing had changed, but my eyes were blinded by the light. I couldn't see the stars anymore. And there was no more reason for anything."

~Edward Cullen

"To him she seemed so seductive,

so different from ordinary people,

that he could not understand

why no one was as disturbed as he

by the clicking of her heels

on the paving stones,

why no one else's heart was wild

with the breeze stirred

by the sighs of her veils,

why everyone did not go mad

with the movements of her braid,

the flight of her hands,

the gold of her laughter.

He had not missed a single one of her gestures,

not one of the indications of her character, but

he did not dare approach her

for fear of destroying the spell"

~Gabriel Garcia Marquez

something new ♥

I thought I'd share some "love quotes" with you

that I enjoy, from now until Valentine's Day.

Look for the ♥ hearts ♥

"It's so hard to describe.

It's not like love at first sight, really.

It's more like....gravity moves.

When you see her, suddenly its not the earth

holding you here anymore. She does.

And nothing matters more than her.

And you would do anything for her,

be anything for her...

You become whatever she needs you to be,

whether that's a protector, or a lover,

or a friend, or a brother."

~Jacob [Eclipse]

mish mosh

Here's some info you haven't acquired from me

over the past few months, because i'm a slacker....

Gas has gone from $3.97 down to $1.76 here at our local speedway

**********

After hours and hours and day after day of studying for STEP1, I passed that dang test!

**********

We went to Florida with Matthew's family, it was lots of fun

**********

I started third year of med school in what I thought would be my worst rotation--ob/gyn--which has subsequently ended up being my top choice as of right now for my future career. wierd.

**********

I went to Madisonville, KY for my surgery rotation. I was terrified. I discovered that I ♥ surgery. Seriously.

**********

I took vacation and gave myself a pat on the back for Honoring in Surgery.

**********

Matthew and I went to Washington, DC with our wonderful friends Rob & Julia. We'd never been there. We did a ridiculous amount of walking. I hurt my foot--it got better. While in DC i rode the subway for the first time. I became slightly obsessed with subway pics, you'll see these in a few months, lol.

**********

I came home. Started my pediatrics rotation, eager, willing to learn all I could in my then first choice for my future career.

**********

I get up early for work to vote. My guy loses. I contemplate moving to Russia. Decide its too cold.

**********

Thanksgiving break, then back to the grind. A few hundred asthmatics, earaches, and healthy kids later, i was questioning what i was going to do with my life.

**********

I see two little kids for a "sick visit" they both have scabies and lice. They try to climb in my lap while i'm typing their information into a computer. I feel gross. I dislike their mother.

**********

My next patient is a dirty 3 year old, with a runny nose. He takes everything out of my coat pockets and the mom says nothing. I decide on this day I DO NOT want to do this for the rest of my life. Bye Bye pediatrics. Tear*

**********

I pass pediatrics and head home for Christmas break. I have a WONDERFUL time at home. We put up trees, we wrap presents, we eat til we want to bust.

**********

Matt gets a wii. Matt also gets Rock Band. We start to rock. We get addicted to Rock. Wii love to rock!

**********

Tara's birthday....she turns 20. Habachi grill, erin goes hungry. We head home to ring in the new year. We ring loudly. Dad shoots a sawed off shotgun. We=rednecks :)

**********

Erin didn't get drunk so next day.....feeling good. Matthew....Not so much. Tara....her either.

**********

Erin#2 wants to see a movie. She gives me a book to read. I'm officially addicted to TWILIGHT. I read all day. Tara gets mad. I go see a movie. I have to start book 2.

**********

Break comes to an end, I head home early to decompose and unpack. Tree comes down, decorations packed away, house looks bare, erin is sad.

**********

I start Internal Medicine. First rotation is Gastroenterology/Hepatology. I like the subject, the people are great. I hate the work. I don't know what I'm doing. The days drag on and on and on and on.....I'm not a fan. I'm ready for this 12 weeks to be OVER. Seriously.

**********

first weekend off, Erin works on wedding pictures. *you look suprised* Erin gets a lot accomplished, but still not finished. Matt and erin watch season four of lost and do nothing all weekend. Its a good feeling.

**********

Weeks starts with bad news. Otis King, my aunt leisa's step dad has passed away. Please pray for her and her family. Services are this wednesday.

**********
