It Had to Happen Eventually, Right?

It's official! Today.... I really feel "MARRIED".

A little backstory...

Steve applied for a new position with the company we work for a couple weeks before we got married. He waited and waited to hear back after his interview, but never heard anything. He basically gave up on the job and had pretty much forgotten about it.

Until a couple weeks ago when he got a phone call that HE GOT THE JOB!!! WOO HOO!!!

So today at work, Steve comes by my office to chat for a minute. As he is standing by my desk, a co-worker of ours walks by and says, "Hey... Congratulations!!" in a really loud voice. (I say "really loud" because this person doesn't know the meaning of the term "inside voice".) The two of them chat for a minute by my desk, Steve goes back to his office, and all is said and done.

About 10 minutes later... I get a phone call from another co-worker of mine. She is beyond excited and says, "OMG... CONGRATULATIONS!!" I said, "Oh, thanks! Steve is really excited!"... Kinda wondering why she is congratulating me and not Steve.

Then she says, "And how about you? Aren't you excited?! You guys are going to have such a cute baby!"

This is about the time my jaw hit my desk.

Once I was able to pick my jaw up off my desk, I said, "Um.... WHAT?!?!"

It became quite obvious to me that she had completely misunderstood the "congratulations" she overheard, and I had to spend the next few minutes explaining to my very embarrassed co-worker that we, in fact, were not having a baby.

I've heard stories about this. I've been warned by numerous people about this.

Seriously... I am SOOO not prepared for this!

To Wait, Or not to Wait...

So... It's been a year. One year since I had Gamma Knife Radiosurgery.

My doctor called this morning and told me to schedule a follow up MRI to see how things look. They told me it would take up to a year to see the full effects of the radiation. Well... that year is up.

And I'm scared.

Part of me wants to call, get the MRI scheduled for next week, go in guns a-blazing, and just get it out of the way. The other of me wants to continue to live in ignorant bliss... Simply ignoring whatever is (or hopefully isn't) living in my head. Why is it that after all the crap I've been through up to this point... This is what freaks me out?? This is supposed to be the easy part!

I have the number to call and schedule. I'm just having a hard time dialing.

To wait, or not to wait... That is the question.
