i gave blood for the first time a few hours ago! i failed the hemoglobin test the first time, but they pricked me again and i made it :) everything went smoothly until i was done and went to go to the bathroom. i started to feel nauseated and dizzy, so i went to sit down. before i knew it, people were surrounding me, a man was holding me up, i passed out, had a dream, woke up, and threw up. but i saved a life :)
on to more fun matters......IIIIIIIIIII GOTTTTTTTTTTTT MY PERIODDDDDDDDDDDDD BACKK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :))))))))))))))))))))))
i literally jumped and cried and jumped and cried some more...it was really emotional for me. my dream in life is to have a family and now it is possible for me. its almost like the final goodbye to ED. i don't miss it at all! oh, and i had a bacon burger for dinner tonight from outback. boo yaahh. so many people lately have been commenting on how great i look and how pretty i am...even jeff, although he does it anyways :) but i actually feel it now, and i know i'm beautiful. when i look in the mirror, i see what God gave me and i appreciate it. i have found a love for myself that is irreplaceable.
the period thing happened while i was in pennsylvania with jeff and his family...but i couldn't have cared less. except the car ride back, which was filled with carsickness and cramps. welcomed cramps :)
pennsylvania was the most awesome trip i have had recently...i miss it so much. we pretty much played in the snow alllllllllllll week. words can't describe, so i'll let the pictures do that talking:
the baby is ruby, jeff's niece. i also had a nice face plant in there, too :)
those are just a couple pictures...almost 400 were taken! i know, i have problems.
time for bedddd!!! giving blood took a lot out of me...and probably being on my period didn't help ;)
ciao bella!
