Been aWHILE since an update.....

I'm now in my junior year, still in nursing school and its quite a challenge (go figure). I'm actually avoiding studying for my cardio exam to type this post..hehe

I have realized this semester which depts. i DO NOT want to work in when i graduate and they include med surg, diabetic unit, transitional care, and oncology....ALL of which we are working on right now...yay...I've had patients ranging from boring (only in for knee surgery) to psychotic (today). But the class is still the hardest thing...I've never had such a hard time with any class before but im really learning what nursing is all about and the more i get used to the tests the better ill do i think. We'll see monday!

I'm still in physical therapy...my ankle is 99% to normal according to my therapist but my knee is still far from where it needs to be so we are trying some different treatments/exercises mostly to help the pain so that i can exercise with less and less pain and get my strength back in my right leg.

Chris and I have almost made it to 2 wonderful years as a couple (as of next month) and I can't wait to see what the next 2, 3, 4......years will bring us! He has been an incredible encouragement to me over the last 10 months and I've been truly blessed for that....and for his effortless ability to make me laugh and relax when I'm stressed out with school.

I feel like I've been spending more time with my mom lately too (maybe i havent but it feels like it)...we have had some really good conversation and I'm learning many things about life from a very wise woman :) I can't wait for our next coffee date!
