So, my darling Valentine [a.k.a. Carissa Ratz] has demanded that I update.....and update I shall [do you see my little Valentine how our little hierarchy scale is working here??....if the boyfriend has asked, it would've been a "no"....haha]

Anyway, school started 2 weeks ago....nursing school that is. And the only beneficial thing about all the stress is that I'll probably loose some weight from not eating well and binging on coffee [or i could go the other route and eat away my stress.....but then the stress wouldn't be so benefical.] It's VERY exciting though. I can't believe it's really happening. I met my first patient and did an interview with him.....I did my first health fair yesterday where we took Stroke risk assessments and took blood pressures and checked pulse rates and checked carotid arteries for Bruits [yes, I have nursing lingo =0)]

I also have a boyfriend, which I see only took one wednesday for the entire youth group to find out and ask me if it's true. Very exciting. Oh how I love them all. And yes, the boyfriend is Kenny and he has moved back home from San Diego.....which I'm sure all of you know. How could I let you forget?? =0) So, yes....it has only taken us 2 yrs. to finally make it official, but whatev.

So, everything is going pretty well. Which pretty much means that I'm dying. LoL. But God has blessed me so much. I really could not have gotten this far with out Him, in everything, and I know I won't be able to do the rest without Him. Example/praise report: I am broke. Costs for books and my scrubs and stethescope and BP cuff and nursing sneaks and just everything under the sun, has put a major dent in my pocket. And God knew it would. So over the summer I had received a letter about a program that I had been selected for to attend a two-hours class once a week where they would help me with study skills and time management and all kinds of things, and I would receive a nice chek every month as well as a 10=pack of free tokens, and in return I would have to give......NOTHING. Just two hours of my time a week and even in that I get something out of it. So, of course I forgot about it......then got broke.....then worried some and reminded myself to trust God......and then I had the first meeting this past Thursday and realized just how God is going to meet my need. HOW AWESOME IS HE?!?!?

So, yeah. I'm excited.

well, i don't really know what else to write. But this entry was fun. I guess a long time overdue. Maybe I'll post some pics of San Diego [for those of you who didn't know...I went to San Diego for a week....Sooooo much fun and soooooo beautiful....DID NOT want to leave....but luckily the most important person there ended up coming home a month later. I win! LoL]

Peace out.
