Dream job... check!

Dream car... check, check!!

Yes it's come true.  I got my dream car and even better than I could have imagined! I feel so blessed.  I wasn't even planning on buying a car and it just happened.  I guess that's how great things in our life happen sometimes, right? Unplanned.

Introducing: My 2007 Toyota Camry LE:

(I just want to stare at it all day!)

Next... dream vacation!

Instead of Paris, I'll be going to Italy.  This makes me happier because I have more of an interest in Italy than Paris.  Plus, I cannot wait to eat real Italian food!!!

Then, the ultimate dream... my dream house! 

But that's waaaay down the road.

So until then I'm going to enjoy this.



And I apologize for how jumpy this post may seem.  I'm just a little happy today :)

Starting Over.

My job is fantastic! I've been in training the last 6 weeks and now I'll be on my own starting Sunday... yikes! Wish me luck.  Handling six patients has been good and I'm surprised I'm handling it, but I don't know how it'll be without someone there with me all the time. 

But that's not what I want to talk about.  I decided it's a good time to start over and I'm referring to my wardrobe.  I kid you not, I have not been clothes shopping since starting nursing school!! I never had time, money, and I didn't really care about it because it sucks to shop when you don't have money coming in.  Of course, I may have bought an occassional few items here and there in the past, but looking at my clothes now you'd never know it because they're falling apart or stained or both (I really am not a great caretaker of clothes apparently).  Now I've decided to slowly replace old clothes with new ones!

Also, all I have bought with any extra spending money I have is scrubs.  That's great and all, but I don't live in the hospital.  So I decided since I never shop just for myself, I can justify in going... and I'm loving it.

Better.

I realized how negative my last post was and I just wanted to update.  Feeling much better and finding things in my life that are better than I could hope for.  It's just taking me a little effort and a lot of prayer.  

The end.

Brick by Brick.

It was really weird today.. I got an email from school stating that I need to come in as soon as possible and start my graduation submission forms. Wow. I can't believe that day is actually coming up. I feel like I just started school here. This road has been hard, but faster than I could have imagined. Kind of scary that I'll get to be a grown up soon with a grown up job and have to do grown up things like pay real bills and live by myself... But I actually get to graduate! I'll be walking in December though since you can't walk in the summer. Which I don't mind as long as I'm still here. Not sure how the job market will be by then. I'd like to stay in Vegas for a bit, but we'll see. I definitely could see myself living near a beach though...

Well, it's been a little rough getting back into the swing of things. But so far it hasn't been like last semester when I've had to study literally to midnight every night just to keep up. I actually should be studying now.... oh well.

This year so far has been great. I feel happy and I feel like I am starting to have some what of a balanced life even though it's a Friday night and I'm currently at home... but I'm playing tomorrow so that counts :)

The end.

And then there were three...

With much heartache and joy, I passed my first semester of nursing school!! Yay! I learned so much about myself these last 15 weeks. It's a great relief to know I was never alone even when I thought I was. I needed this experience. I am truly blessed!

From what I've been told, next semester is the toughest out of all 4. If I can survive it, I can survive the rest. Thank you all for your prayers, love, and support! Hope everyone is doing well!

Spluuuuurrggeeee!!!

He he. I had saved some extra money and was planning on doing some type of shopping spree with it next weekend, but I decided to start early and get me an I-touch. I ordered it last night. I'll give it a test run and see how I like it. I plan to put some nursing applications on it so I thought it would be useful and practical in the long run and that it would make me feel less guilty about splurging lol.

I also plan to get my hair finally done next weekend! Much needed.

So the splurge continutes :)
