Tomorrow... very emotional stressful day

My mantra for Saturday the 7th will be "I can do all things through him who gives me strength."  I have a bracelet with this quote on it and I wear it especially on difficult days.  I have this bracelet because my best friend Kate had one when she was in the hospital.  Tomorrow is the third anniversary of her death.  On top of this, I am the crazy one who signed up to take my GRE tomorrow as well.  I remember the day she died and the days following very clearly in my head.  It's not a place I like to go back to.  However, I also found out I was pregnant with sweet Amelia Kate that day.  What does it say that I registered for the GRE on this date and didn't even think about the actual date?  I knew I needed to take it before school started and have enough time to study and I picked this day.  Someone I was talking to said perhaps I suppose to take the GRE on the 7th, ensuring Kate would be on my mind and that she would be there with me while I take it.

I miss her so much.  We had been friends since we were 4 and best friends on and off through out that time, but for sure the last 7 years of her life.  I just simply can not believe she is not here anymore and that it has been three years.

Giving this a shot...

I've thought about setting up a blog for a long time.  I decided while procastinating studing for the GRE to set it up today!  We'll see how it goes!
I have 6 days unitl I take the GRE and a busy week of professional development as well.  Looking forward to next Saturday at about 4 pm.
