104 days till graduation!

I blogged last in May? well that's just ridiculous.
So much has happened since last May!  So, let me borrow from my sister and do a few bullet points

  • made A's in my 2 hardest classes last semester
  • went to see Lisa and Paul in Arizona right after the semester finished- a much enjoyed break.
  • Worked like a crazy person when I wasn't getting canceled- I did 8 nights in a row one week. that's intense.
  • Caught up with some old Denton friends at a wedding, and also had happy hour with my instructors from my LVN program-- good times:)
  • The world did not end and the rapture did not come to pass, and patient's still had chest pain during med pass.
  • Applied for graduation!!!
  • Started running in the morning. I think that lasted for 2 or 3 weeks?
  • Got another kidney stone that landed me in the ER.  From now on, I will always have ant-emetic's on hand so I can take in fluids from home, and not by an IV.
  • Went to California for the first time ever for Lisa and Paul's wedding, and fell head over heals with running a couple miles down the road to the ocean.  Freaking 70 degrees.
  • Watched my oldest sister get married to an awesome man. I may or may not have cried.
  • Went to a few winery's and learned how to pronounce 'viognier'.
  • Said goodbye to my friend Becky who moved back to Mass :(
  • Went to the lake with my awesome nursing school friends and had good food, good drinks, and fun in the sun:)
  • Flew to Seattle, and enjoyed the Pacific Northwest while my cousin Rachel married her love:)
  • Had super awesome espresso made for me every day by my cousins and uncle
  • Enjoyed an incredible boat ride out on Puget Sound, singing random sounds as loud as we could with my cousins
  • Flew back to Texas, once more leaving my heart on the West Coast
  • Read the Girl With The Dragon Tattoo series, and fell in love with Bon Iver
  • Flew to SC, and spent a long weekend at Lake Lure with my Corso family, enjoying incredible food, drinks, wine, and laughter:)
  • Went to Portland, Oregon, to visit my Aunt and Uncle-- and fell in love with Portland.
  • Cried when I boarded the plane to come back to Texas.
  • Started looking up application processes to all hospitals in the Portland area.
  • Worked more before school started, and reunited with my nursing school friends!!
  • reached a 20lb weight loss since last August! and a SBP at it's highest of 142 down to 107:)
  • Started P90X! [i'm a day from the 3rd week!]
  • Went to my last 1st day of school

I think that hits most of the high points- I'm sure I missed a few:)  
Went to Dallas today to have lunch with my mom, dad, and my sister.  So glad I went.
Did my P90X tonight, and discovered I have a one and a half pack of abs! that was pretty exciting:)


work comes early, and P90X comes even earlier.  Hopefully it won't be 4 months before I blog again.
