Gah!!

I will never say I'd rather have someone be sick, fall, or be horribly behind in my med pass again over coworker conflict.  I got dealt a good dose of all of that except the fall on Monday.  Monday didn't go smoothly at all. I just hope today goes smoothly for me, I really do.

Oh, and that care manager who made me cry?  Was told to shape up, because I wasn't going anywhere, and she needs to learn how to get along with the people she's working with or else she won't be working there.  My boss was kick ass, I must say, and it made me feel good that she stood up for me.

Mikey's graduation was last night, and I was so proud of him walking across the stage!!  I was panicking before we had to leave to pick up his mom because my schoolwork was taking WAY longer than I thought it would and left me rushing to get ready.  But we made it there in good time, and all was well.  The ceremony went pretty quickly, and then we got to go out for a celebratory dinner. Mikey even let us get pictures this time around! :). I am just so happy for him, and he is just such a great man.  I am such a lucky girl.

Speaking of that, our big 5 year anniversary is a little over 2 weeks from now, and we are both looking forward to it!  We have to work on our anniversary, but luckily I work day shift that day, so we will go out for a nice dinner and then we both have Saturday and Sunday off to spend together.  We have left it pretty open so far (a.k.a. no time to actually sit and plan it), but it will be nice just to have 2 whole days off together which rarely happens.  It is hard to fathom that we were just young stupid kids basically when we first met, and have grown up with each other.  This can often cause couples to split, as growing up puts them on separate paths.  We are very fortunate that our love survived that phase of our life.

We fight here and there, but it is usually because one of us is moody, and it never lasts more than a day.  We are on the same page when it comes the the big stuff like money, when to start a family, etc. We both simply support each other, and make sure the other is taken care of, and the rest falls into place.  Even when we do disagree, we are able to compromise or talk it out without blowing up at each other.  Or we respect the difference  in opinion while giving each other a lot of playful crap.  It's Care-ah-mell, not Car-mull, Mike, get it right or pay the price. :)

We both listen to each other vent even though what we are talking about is Greek to the other.  I can talk about giving lantus subcutaneously and carvedilol and lorazepam, while he talks about gear shifty things, and hinges, and back axles, and make-car-go-things, and things are 8/16 or whatever.  We listen to each other anyway, even if we have no clue what language that is.

So we are going on 12 years of knowing each other, 9 years of having met in person, 8 years when we started officially dating (when I moved up here), and 5 years of happy marriage. I have been so incredibly blessed to have this man come into my life and make I couldn't be any happier than I am with my husband. :)
