M to the O to the NO!

That is right! But if you didn't get the cleverly put title I will start from the beginning...

I believe in my last post about going to Kentucky I may have (I will have to actually check later) said something about me not feeling that great. Well it only got worse. The flight home from kentucky was actually horrible because of a ragging fever with chills and sweating, headache, stiff muscles, sore throat, runny/stuffy nose, achey all over, so tired, and just plain miserable. The next day and it is back off to school misery and all, except when my fever came back and ballet had to take a back seat, the day went fine. It still felt bad but I rested a lot and thought that the next day would be better, but I was wrong... another fever later and some missed classes I ended up in my bed most of the day... until the last bit.
For the first time (in a lONG time) I felt 'better'. Better but tired and with a slight nose irritation... but nothing some pepto and sudafed couldn't take on. So Hannah (roommate) wanted to go out to eat and since I was feeling SO much better I went with. It was a debate on Arbys or Taco Bell... well we are not exactly decision makers so taco bell won purely (i think) because then we wouldnt have to walk 100 more feet.
We ate and enjoyed, headed back to the apartment and started on homework. And then... to end the 'feeling better' moment, my body decided it did not like the taco bell (specifically the coloring) and I had an allergic reaction. Dopped up on benedryll I crashed in bed until 3 when I woke up in such pain I debated the ER. Just a side affect of the allergic reaction is for my gut/ stomach to HURT, bad. Well that combined with not being able to breathe with the nasal thing, a Headache and a sore throat to impress ... lets just say sleep was on the rare side. Somehow I made it to school and even did ballet. Thursday was the same. And then friday I started to feel better as in my stomach did not hurt, no more pink eye but my throat was so sore that eating was a pain and when I looked at my throat it my poor tonsils were swollen with lots of pus on them... yummm. So finally after Jared had to scare me to the Dr. I went to BYU Urgent Care. Took forever but finally they got my test results...

Strepptococus- Negative (Dang!)
B-lymphocytes- Abnormal
White count (normally 4-5) - 50
Mononucleosis- Positive

NOOOOOOOO! Not now not with a HUGE Chem test on monday and finals in less than a month and a wedding to still get read for! Not now. NO NO NO. But oh yes. Mono. I totally have mono. The Dr. was nice and gave me prednisone (steriods) and a pain killer, and told me to sleep 8-10 hours and take vitamins.

This took some investigation but after questioning Jared... and I know I have never kiss anyone else I came the conclusion... It happens. Probably on the plane to Kentucky in February or on campus somewhere some person coughed on me and ME being a college student that never has enough time... was probably not at the peak of immune system health due to lack of sleep.

So yes, Mono. I'm exhausted all the time, sleep 9-10 hours in the night and still feel tired in the day. Oh boy. Well at least Jared is not around to catch this 'Kissing disease' from me!

The trip to Kentucky.

The kentucky trip. Wonderful Kentucky. As you know from the last post we are going to be living in Louisville, kentucky for the next 5 years while Jared learns from the pro's how to be an orthopaedic surgeon. (I'm proud of him!)
The match was the main reason why I went to Kentucky. I got in at midnight the night before match (or i guess the day of) slept and it was off to match. It was fun to finally get to meet people and to put names to faces. After socializing we finally got the letter and opened it to find the match at Louisville. That night we went out to dinner with 3 other families to celebrate. It was weird to be the only couple that was not married and obliviously did not have any children, but it was still good and fun.
We also made a trip to Men's Warehouse where the lady that worked there was ... unprofessional and well Jared was called a pimp... which would leave me being....? It ended up being that Jared had to deal with that lady because she just kept making me mad but it got done.
And on Saturday night (i wish i would have gotten a picture) Jared and I got all business casual dressed up we went on a date to a mystery dinner theater. It was really fun although the subplot made it the real plot hard to follow. The actors were funny and very witty. They would come around while we ate our meals and we could ask them questions about the murder. It was fun and the drunk couple across from us were funny too! What can I say... I plan great dates!
On Sunday Jared gave a GREAT talk that was perfectly long enough and very well done while I got to sit on the stand and do nothing but look pretty :) They let me sit up there just because I did not know anyone else. We even made our own Easter dinner (with minimal burning) and got each other some candy for Easter and on the way to the Airport it was snowing! A change for Easter when the bunnies are supposed to be hopping around and flowers are blooming.
Overall it was just really really fun to get to see Jared again (especially because of match day and the Honduras trip). I always have lots of fun and smile tons when I get to be with him. I love him so much! Everyday I learn something new about him. The more we get to be with each other and get to really talk about the good and bad I realize how much he loves me and I him.
But enough with the mushy stuff... Seriously anyone that wants to visit us when we are in Kentucky... you now have the invite! I would love company and I'm sure Jared would too!

THE RESULTS ARE IN!!

Match day has come and gone! We know where we are going now! How excited... I'm assuming you may have already heard from one of us or someone we love. SO.... Jared and I are officially saying out in LOUISVILLE, Kentucky!!!!!!

It will be great! At first, I have to admitt that we were confused and thought... ya that is the school... and then realized.... OH! that is the MATCH! We are happy and get to look for a place to live :)
I am excited I get to see life lay out just alittle bit clearer!

P.S.
ANYONE.... is invited to come out and see us in the next 5 years!

MATCH DAY.... And the results are.....

Ok so I don't have the results YET for where we will be living for the next 5 years but I just wanted to get a start on the blog because as of Last Monday Jared found out he DID match. phew... now i am just excited nervous.... and on my way to Kentucky in just a couple hours. Hopefully everything will be smooth sailing and NO delays like last time.... Ugh

Good-bye Utah and HELLO Kentucky!

(Dang my chemistry class...)

Mmmmm M&M's

What a wonderful sweet man I have. I know I am always talking about him, in fact when my mother was visiting I asked what I used to talk about because all that came out of my mouth was "jared this... jared that... Jared Jared Jared"
Well I almost forgot to blog this but Kate caught me in the errors of my ways and here I am.

So last February 25th was the mark of Jared and I dating for 6 months and Jared thought to do something alittle special. He kept asking if I had gotten my package and everyday it was no, (due to late shipping) but then finally they came. A box decorated with colorful M&M pictures all over it.

I opened it to find a couple bags of personalized M&M's. Blue and green (our favorite colors) M&M with the messages

Jared and Jenny

and

Smudgy I love U

What a sweet sweet man. I love Jared so much for everything he does for me. Most is the unseen unheard things that he does for me, but every once and a while he pulls something even more special. What a sweet heart! :)

Where did last week go?

Well well well... where to even start?
So the last couple of weeks have been crazy busy. Crazy busy. From Midterms to wedding shopping to the ER.
I guess I will just start at the beginning.
Last week I had all my midterms, a very stressful thing to me, but somehow I pulled it all off, finishing with 2 tests (D&C and BOM) on friday afternoon so that I could go and pick my mother up at the airport. Yup, she was hanging out in lovely utah for the weekend to help me with wedding stuff. I picked her up and we got right to work. That night we got invitations and thank you cards. And Saturday was just as busy, we found a florist and have everything ordered, picked out food and cake, and got Bridesmaid outfits. Sunday was much more relaxing with a trip to Heber to visit my Uncle and then we just vegged. Monday I had classes but we still got lots done! finished finding the skirts, got white shoes, and we registered at Bed bath and Beyond. I ran my mother into the ground. When we got to Bed Bath and Beyond she was a zombie. So I convinced her to go and get something to eat with me. I knew that she was out of it when she stood at the window next to the door, waiting for the window to slide open... I couldn't stop laughing about it, and still chuckle just alittle.
It was a late night on Monday al late late night. My mom and I had just gotten back to my apartment at about 11 with some coldstone creamery ice cream. We had not been back but 30 minutes when my roommate came out of her room crying, and going for the door to leave. I asked her what was wrong and where she was going. she replied that her back was hurting so bad that she was going to the emergency room.
Long story short I took her and we made fun off all the people in the ER. Including the 7 missionaries. (quickly, one of the missionaries had dislocated his jaw when he was yawning during the prayer... hahahahaha) So we waited and then she finally went in, and i waited in the empty waiting room watching LAME late night disney channel shows until the nurse changed it to lifetime! woot woot!
And then Hannah came out ready to go home at 3:30. I feel so sorry for her she can't go to school and just sits around in pain all day. But now she has drugs at least!
And finally Tuesday arrived and skirts were bought, plus a cute flower girl dress, and I took my mom to the airport!
It was sad to see her go, I love having my mom around. I liked having such a sweet roommate, but I will get to see her again in April.
The last week was so exciting and it really was so much fun to have alittle piece of home in my home.
