Friday Photo Dump

Hey, it's actually friday for once!!!

Things are starting to move along. I finally got my authorization to test for the NCLEX and I scheduled my test for Feb 13. Unfortunately I've still got lots of studying to do!!

But we're headed to Ft. Myers tomorrow where its supposed to be 83 degrees when we get there!!  WOOHOO! Here's hoping the weather is okay and we'll be able to take off. So very excited and I'm sure I'll have a lot more to post next week!

Friday Photo Dump

I seem to have a complete inability to post my friday photo dumps on friday! 
Whoops. Well I worked a bit last week. Hung out at a friends for new years.. Then we got snow. And now we're getting even MORE SNOW. DAMN MIDWEST. 
Other than that its been lots of NCLEX studying and putting together some classes for work. Guess its a good reason to stay inside and work.

And hey, I started a 52 week project this year! One self portrait a week for the year!

2013 - The Year in Review

Well, this year is almost over! I can't believe it! I'm pretty glad though I guess because 2014 is probably going to bring lots of exciting firsts.

Some highlights from this year:

- Attending 29 births for work this year!! Was so hoping to get to 30 this year (and 40 total!).

- Successfully passing all my classes for nursing school!

- Surviving clinicals that I thought I would never make it through

- Discovering a love for critical care (ICU) nursing that I never thought I would have.

- Lots of time spent outside this summer reading or hanging out at the pool.

- Really working on going to the gym a couple of times a week

- Going to Chicago in May with Kayla Fane! I love Chicago

- Seeing Darren Criss in concert!

- Going to Symphony on the Prairie twice this summer and then two indoor symphony concerts this fall!

- Time spent exploring the IMA with friends this summer and taking pictures there with my niece and nephews!

- A trip to Birmingham in August!

- Making lots of great friends, and becoming closer to a great group of girls from school!

- Seeing Sara Bareilles in concert in the SECOND ROW!

- Spending the last couple months of the fall studying my butt off so I could…

- GRADUATE NURSING SCHOOL IN DECEMBER!!  I thought the day would never come. But somehow it did. Earned those three little BSN letters after my name.. Now to add the more important two, RN.

- Heather coming to visit in December and then heading to Birmingham again!

- A restful Christmas at home. (after welcoming an early morning Christmas baby!)
