You've heard the expression, "When it rains, it pours." Well I'm in a freakin' monsoon.

Monday, my mom found out her cancer is back. She has a spot on her ( Read more... )

I haven't posted in a while because life has gotten in the way. Nothing bad, just busy. In the last few weeks, I've begun to feel the first flutters and tickles of this little one growing inside of me.

Monday turned out to be a wonderful day, though at 10:00 am I wasn't so sure it would be. I was supposed to be at work at 10:30 am but at 8:30 they called and said they didn't need me until 3:00.

I've learned alot about being a wife this year. I've learned how much I have to learn about having a serving, submissive, respectful heart. I've learned to pray for my husband like I've never prayed for anyone. I've learned that nothing hurts like watching a loved one in pain, and not being able to do anything about it. I've learned when I think ( Read more... )

On May 12, I officially became an Alumni of The University of Alabama Capstone College of Nursing. I wrote out the long name because not only will The University always be a part of me, so will the nursing school. From Bryant Denny to Russel Hall, my experiences at the Capstone have helped mold me into who I am today. I have always and will ( Read more... )

I think back to my freshmen year...so much has changed. People who I hung out with all the time have moved away (Jess, Allison, Kyle G., etc.). Those that haven't moved away are grown-ups now with jobs and responsibilities. I've gotten married, and so have some of my best friends. Others are engaged (Still screaming for Becca and Kyle). Some had ( Read more... )
