My wonderful boyfriend bought me this today! Unexpectedly.
We were at a really nice jewelry store getting a diamond tennis bracelet we found in Benny’s safe deposit box appraised and I decided to “look at the shiny stuff”. I made a comment about how I liked this necklace and how it was really different from all the other pieces because it was smooth, instead of cut stones.
Next thing I know Will is asking the clerk what the price is and says we’ll take it! How fun! :)

The hotel life is a real struggle sometimes.
Struggle to get out of bed!

Will and I drove up to South Carolina today. I was finally able to come up here with him and help work on clearing out his uncle’s apartment. You see…he was a hoarder. Like the hoarders TV show, hoarder. With lots of dust…Luckily he only had a 1 bedroom apartment and not an entire house!
I had seen the pictures before today, but to actually see the place was an entirely different story. Lots of work ahead.

The six of us did some site seeing today. We decided to take the lazy way up to the top of Stone Mountain and looked around there for a little bit. Then we walked around the park, did some shopping, took a train ride, and got some food. Good times!

One step of my nursing journey is now complete. It was a strange feeling though. To be at the pinning ceremony with all my other classmates, listening to them talk about graduation in a couple of days, knowing that I will not be there with them. But still feeling proud of what I’ve accomplished so far. I’m very glad that my family was able to come up and be there with Will and I.

Pinning rehearsal today…boy, what a mess. A collaborated effort of unorganized nonsense. SURPRISE!

I finally had some time to decorate! It felt so nice to work on the house and make things “pretty”.

Tonight took an unexpected turn down memory lane. Wow…I’m only 32 but I’ve already had so many great memories and wonderful people in my life. Looking through old pictures can be bitter sweet, but overall I love seeing those that I loved and those who loved me. Even if some are no longer in my life.
Here is just a microscopic snapshot of those who have impacted my life and who I will always love and cherish.

Today was my last day of the semester. I had 2 outcomes: pass with an incomplete or fail. I failed. But, I expected to at this point and I’ve accepted it. So things are ok, well they will be ok.
I had to update my “Graduation Party Facebook event today…which sucked. I received some really nice support from friends though. Love them all! And the next party will be bigger and badder!

Tomorrow is potentially my last offical day of nursing school…but most likely it will only be the last day of this semester. I have my final exam tomorrow that basically determines my future school agenda. Either a nursing miracle happens and I somehow pull out an 80% or I don’t.
At this point, I’d actually rather not pass this. I’m not ready. I want to take advantage of another semester and prove to myself that I can properly learn all this material and be confident in myself as a registered nurse.
Nursing school is hard.
Ask anyone who’s tried.
The past few years I’ve taken it all for granted. I’ve gotten by with A’s and B’s because I’m a smart individual. But I’ve cheated myself by not giving the material the respect, time, and dedication it needs. I “learned” the material I needed to pass the tests, and then it disappeared out the window.
Not anymore. I want to be a great nurse. I want to be someone people look to for guidance and trust. I can’t get to that point without a solid foundation. Next semester I’m rebuilding my foundation. Next semester I’m going to be proud of myself and all that I’ve accomplished. Is it going to be hard? Hell yes! But that’s ok.
What doesn’t kill me…makes me stronger.
