One month and counting

It's 3:48 am, my co-worker is snuggled up with her blanket on the counter beside me, there are other sounds of bloodwork being drawn, vitals being taken and the other music of the night that is our ward.  I have had a treat - a shift with 5 relatively up and about patients - nearly unheard of the last few week.  Ever since returning to work after our honeymoon, it seems that most shifts have been full of crisis, panic and lots of hard, hard work.  Oh, i don't complain about hard work usually - its good to get out there and work hard and feel fulfilled after a long day but it's totally different if you're overwhelmed each and every day.  So yeah, tonight's a relative treat - but i won't say too much since the night's not done yet and that might give someone an idea to pull out a tube, fall on the floor or think up some other mischief and trouble!!  We are also two weeks into electronic documentation - for a person like me who loves to write everything down - it's been a challenge to be sure- nothing like having paper chart in front of you to read - i find the computer a harder place to compose a patient's story but hey, that's the way modern technology is going so i guess i'd better keep up or get off the bus (and believe me, there are plenty of days when i would love nothing better!)
And where has the last month put us?  We were married last month on the 13th so i suppose that that puts us at being married for the grand total of 1 month and 1 day!!!  And sadly, we had to spend that time apart as i was working a stretch of two nights which leaves us no time to see each other in between shifts - very sucky!  So it was a note and a text and we'll see each other tonight... i suppose i should probably come up with something yummy for dinner eh?  Any suggestions? 
I'll do a post about the wedding soon, i promise.  I have no idea why that hasn't materialized yet but hopefully soon - thank you cards are in process, not done but we're working on things slowly.  Timothy unpacks a box every day or two and that's good too - we're slowly trying to weed out some stuff that we have doubles of or don't need and that's resulting in lots of work for our local garbage men - thankfully they're being very helpful in taking all our stuff.. i'd imagine a few more weeks of this should have our basement looking a little more like a home and less like a storage vault! 
We have both been adjusting to married life quite nicely and it's kinda like a duck taking to water - it's a bit foreign at first to know that someone else shares your space and house but it's a good change to be sure!  We both love our time together whether thats talking or reading or just doing chores in the same space as each other.  Oh there have been adjustments with little things, shower arrangements, how to do dishes, who does what chore but i've certainly been happy to surrender doing grass cutting to a professional!
And being an encouragement to each other, building each other up and learning the other person's habits, likes and dislikes and how to be a hand and foot to them!  I pray that we may continue to do that for many more monthly and yearly anniversaries and that we may do that not in our own strength but in the strength that we are given by our good God!
