Miracles and food poisoning!

Wow, so I think I have food poisoning..

I ate at BJ's a few days back, had the chicken ceasar salad. Cold chicken on a bed of (I'm sure it was unwashed) lettuce. Yum. Top it off with a nice ceasar dressing (complete with egg whites) and you have a perfect recipe for a food-born illness. Lovely. I am still sick.. today at least the abdominal cramps are few and far between.. it's just heart burn and incessant nausea.

Beautiful. Just how I intended to spend my Valentines/Anniversary week. Hopefully I'll feel better tomorrow.

Speaking of anniversaries.. Baron and I are celebrating our 5th wedding anniversary this week! God is so good!

On another God is sooooo good note, I received a bill in the mail today for tuition. Turns out they processed my loan refund before I had completely registered (doh...) and I now owe them money. Lovely, I was thinking.. This is perfect. That money, while not spent, is our living allowance while I'm in school this semester. If I have to pay that back, I have to get a job. That is not a good thing while taking 15 credit hours in the area of my major. So, I prayed, called Baron, told Baron, prayed.. and then went to the financial aid office to apply for a short term loan. The lady came out about 3 minutes later telling me she had good news. I was very happy thinking that she was able to give me the 60 day loan so that I could get my ducks in a row and figure out how I was going to make it through the next 3 months of school, when she exclaimed, (once we were in her office) that she was able to award me a GRANT! HoLY MoLEY! God is soooooo good to me. So not only is it covering what was left over in tuition, but we're getting a check in the mail this week for just over $1000 to help with more living expenses! Praise God! Jehovah Jireh provides for His children! Of course, being the emotional woman that I am, I immediately broke down in sobbing tears and thanked her. I don't think she realized that she had just handed me the miracle I asked for not 20 minutes prior. I want to make her cookies or something... but she might think that's creepy seeing as it's just her job to do things like that. Who knows.. maybe I'll do it anyway. creepiness or no.

So yeah, I am going to get to sleep. I am exhausted, and I have class in the morning!
