My Mom used to tell me that playing house was a lot different than owning that house. Well, she's right! It's not all fun and games (although, it has been recently:)) Phillip and I have a new respect for each other that we've gained by "playing house" for about 3 months now. Whether it's a good thing or a bad thing, we are both 100% ourselves now in OUR home:) It's always different living together in your parents house than it is living on your own. We were warned by EVERYONE that it would be different, difficult and that we would see each others "bad" side. Well, they were right about the different part, but honestly in these 3 months of living here we are the most happy we have ever been!
This upcoming Monday (October 1st) we will be celebrating our 4th anniversary! I can't believe how much we have changed in 4 years, or even from high school when we dated (oh how things have changed... for the good of course!). Things are so different and we have grown so much together! OK enough with the mushy stuff:)
Yesterday, we received a piece of mail addressed to both of us (doesn't happen much yet). It was the wedding invitation to our very good friends, Cali and Sean, Wedding! The invitation was gorgeous!!! I couldn't be happier for them! (Totally makes me want a wedding even more lol, but anyways...) There are so many weddings happening in the next 6 months! Jesica and Trevor are getting married next weekend at the Florida Aquarium (how freakin' cool!) and then Cali and Sean in November. Finally, Lyndsey and Derek are getting married in March! I couldn't be happier for all of my friends!
A big Congrats to our friends Cat and Pat on their beautiful baby girl Sofia Isabella! She is absolutely precious!!!
My reality: I am studying my booty off for the next 2 weeks amongst hanging out with all of my friends and all of their events. I sometimes wonder how I juggle it all:/ Nursing school is kicking my butt right now and (not to be all debby downer) this is probably my least favorite and most challenging quarter of nursing school. Phillip has even come to me and asked me if I have any drive to do this anymore (becoming a nurse)... That question in itself made me kick myself into gear, put my big girl panties on and get the heck out of this quarter. Did I mention that I will be GRADUATING in ONE year?????!!! I am so excited! I struggled the first couple years in college trying to figure out what I wanted to do, I even thought about making Wells Fargo a career, or as I told my friends "I was going to OWN Wells Fargo" lol. THANK GOD I went on vacation with the family last July and made the decision to continue what I started in high school! I owe so much to Phillip, my family and my friends (and the government lol) for all the support they have given me! I probably would still be in banking if they hadn't encouraged me to follow my dreams.
High school picture- (not so flattering) on my way to clinicals!
I got to spend the day in the Cardiac Catheter Lab at Manatee Memorial Hospital!!! By far the coolest experience yet! I have a love for Cardiac:)
The person that keeps me somewhat sane... I don't know if he knows the task he took on trying to do that:) I am a little crazy haha:)
Well, Now I have to stop procrastinating and start my Microbiology paper so I can finish it in time. Oh and study my 25 chapters for Med-Surg (I so wish that number was an exaggerated one:/ but it's real, 25 freaking chapters....INSANE!)
