Last!

I had my last maternity clinical this week- woooohooo! Now on to preparing for finals and wrapping up this semester!! Then I'll be done with classes for my BSN coursework! :-)

This summer I'll be doing an immersion program in West Virginia. I'm very excited because I'll be working with a rural geriatric population- my favorite!

Day 18 - A picture of your biggest insecurity

I don't know how you photograph it, but I'd say the fear of failure is my biggest insecurity.

I think it's going to take me three months to get through this thirty day challenge, lol.

Impact

Day 17 - A picture of something that has made a huge impact on your life recently



We all know nursing school runs my life! Still counting down the days till May break!

Justin started a new job. Loves it!

That's all for now :-)

This Time of Year

Today is gorgeous and I'm dying to go outside! Too bad I'm stuck inside studying for an exam tomorrow. We came to Hartwell this weekend for a birthday party and a wedding (big thumbs up to both!!) and I used up my free time yesterday. I keep looking out the window longingly. Justin is out on his kayak and my parents are working in the yard. I'm counting down the days until my ten day summer break, and I plan to live outside during those days. We're hoping to go camping during that time so I hope that works out. I also really want to go to a Braves game! I love this time of year!

Inspiring

Day 16 - A picture of someone who inspires you

My daddy.

I can't tell you how much my dad inspires me. He is such a hard worker and he always puts his family first. He's taught me so many things about life through the way he lives his own. He'd do anything to help someone else, and I always know that he's there for me. Always. We have a terrific relationship, it's definitely one of my most valued. As humble as he is, he would talk himself down if he read this post, but he's definitely an inspiration to me.

We danced to "You've Got a Friend" by James Taylor. He used to sing it to me all the time when I was little.

Before I Die

Day 15 - A picture of something you want to do before you die

On a sentimental note:

I want to be a mom. (In the more distant future).



On a career driven note:

Become a Gerontological Nurse Practitioner.



On a for fun note:

See the world! Particularly Ireland. And going back to Australia wouldn't be half bad either.

Sadly...

my Spring Break is drawing to an end. Man, it was good while it lasted! I did NO school work (despite needing to) and got lots of rest! I dread going back to the grind tomorrow. The next seven weeks are going to be very busy.

Day 14 - A picture of someone you could never imagine your life without

I can't imagine my life without Justin. He really is my best friend, and he's so good to me. Nine years and counting and it only seems to get better! I am very blessed!

It's here... finally

My Spring Break has arrived. I really think I could sleep for an entire week. And I've officially decided pediatric nursing... not my thing. Not that I didn't know that going into the rotation, but it was 100% confirmed. After Spring Break, I'll start my maternity rotation- labor and delivery, mother/baby, and NICU.

In other news, today is my mama's birthday! :-) So glad that I'm getting to spend it with her!

Day 13 - A picture of your favorite band or artist



I really don't have a "favorite" but I've always loved Jewel, especially her older stuff and her Christmas album is beautiful.
