#bragpost

Sorry, but I have to brag for a second:

I feel like the luckiest girl in the world.
I love my school, and my cohort is the most awesome group of people. My classmates are all so fun and so smart! We are a very supportive and cohesive group, and I could not have done this accelerated program without them.

I LOVE my job, and my boss tho? #bestbossever! She is one incredible lady herself, let alone one incredible manager. I don't know how she manages to juggle everything on her plate. My coworkers are the shit too! I'm so lucky to have such great experience in such an amazing department. Did I mention I was rated as the number one CNA by my peers, and number two by our nurse team? #braggingrights.

My boyfriend's perfectness cannot even be described in words. He is beyond my wildest, most extrodinary dreams. I fall more in love with him every day. Every time I look at him I am impressed how handsome he is-- and that smile tho, wow. I can tell him literally anything, fart on him, and he just looks at me like I'm the most beautiful girl in the world.
Every girl needs a David.


I have the best friends, they are so supportive and way too much fun. I can't wait to be done with school so I can see more of them.

My family tho, like whoa. They are my rock. [They must be the reason I am so freaking cool too.] I love having such a tight family with such good, positive people. Plus, my cuzzies are the freaking cutest. It is so cool that I have gotten so much time to spend with my Grandma, she is such a great role model for me. Also, I don't know what I would do without my mother.

I've received a lot of compliments on my "sunshine" lately, and I can literately feel it shining out in rays. I feel so lucky and blessed every single day, and that must be where all my happiness and sunshine comes from. I am a true believer if you want to be happy -BE HAPPY.

What are you feeling especially blessed or thankful for today? If you are feeling down and out, I challenge you. Every night when you crawl in bed, think of three things you are thankful for today, and three things you want to accomplish for tomorrow.
Think happy thoughts, then sleep on them, and make the best of every day.

Howdy!

Hiiii there!
I thought I'd update while between semesters and I actually have a weekend off, and of course I have a severe case of writers block.

Can you believe this summer is over already? It's definitely been one of my favorite [and busiest] so far.

David and I just celebrated our one year anniversary, and it's crazy how much I am still falling more in love with him everyday!
I also am HALF WAY DONE WITH SCHOOL! ahhh, I can't even believe it: I'm going to be a nurse!! :D. Sorry for neglecting you, my sweet little blog. I've been on a Sex and the City kick lately, maybe I will find some writing inspiration for my zero readers :).

& F*ck cancer she did!!

My mom is beyond incredible. I am so impressed with her strength for the last few months. If I am half the woman she is when I grow up, I will have succeeded in life. I just love her more than anything, and I'm so happy she is getting better every day.

Walking into her last radiation treatment:

The radiation machine:
Ringing the celebration bell:

Her favorite techs.

Isn't she beautiful?

I'm proud to work at a hospital that delivered such excellent care, and I'm looking forward to my future in helping heal others.

F*CK CANCER.

My mom has breast cancer.

I know it's only a little bit.
I know she is going to be just fine.
I know it could be so much worse.

But it's my mommy!! : (

Whoa, I cannot believe I am 26 already!-- Where does the time go??
I want to be a nurse already so I can pop out some babies! -only kind of kidding..

Anyway, I think this past year has brought on some good change for me..
[Some silly little things like:]
I've gotten a new boyfriend..
a new school..
a new cell phone..
a new car..
& I've switched to night shifts, and I might never go back to days..

In the next three months of summer I am looking forward to:
California,
my best friends wedding,
and too many shifts and classes in between.

It's going to be the best year yet..
[I know, I always say that.. but it really just keeps getting better.]
