Life Lately

Why hello my loves! Long time no see! Well, for me at least. For you, it's only been a spotty week for posts   but I want to let you in on a little secret.

The posts you've been seeing were written by me in January. Yep. That's right. (Well, except the Shop my Closet post and the Bloglovin' Post but those don't count)

So, now you may be able to see why it has really been a long time. So what have I been up to? Well, grab a cup of coffee or some other tasty beverage and find out.

Okay so you caught me. Mostly what I've been doing is school, desperately trying to keep my head above water. In my nursing school, I'm in what has long been hailed as the hardest semester and boy, they were not joking! I have never spent so much time with my head buried in a textbook or had as many breakdowns from stress as I have had so far this semester.

I got so stressed, that Cody, the magnificent husband that he is, scheduled a weekend at the Opryland Resort in Nashville, TN for us to get away a couple of weekends ago. I spent three glorious days surrounded by scenery like this.

Obviously I'll tell you all about it, but that leads me into my next point. I haven't been blogging because honestly, when I'm not studying, I've been throwing myself into my real life friends and relationships. I've been able to spend some real quality time with my friends, my husband and family. It's been a blast to feel like part of the real world when I'm not in class or clinicals. My best friend just got engaged and I am sooo happy for her! And I'm so happy that instead of blogging, I was able to go out to eat with her one night so she could tell me all about how she was pretty sure he was going to propose!

Nursing friends are the best because you spend your entire life with them.

That doesn't mean I haven't missed you all, because I have. I have missed blogging and being able to respond to your comments. I have an entire folder waiting for me to respond to you guys right now actually and as much as I want to, at the end of the day, I'm too tired to stare at the computer screen. I feel disconnected from you all and that makes it even harder to open that folder and respond. And I'm still wondering how a lot of you have the time to chat on twitter all day.

My birthday came and went and if you sent me birthday wishes, thank you so much for them!! The picture above is one of my presents from Cody. I'm possibly the last woman on Earth to own a pandora bracelet but I love it so much!

The picture on the left is the cupcakes that my best nursing friend brought to clinical on the day of my birthday! They were so delicious (Thanks again Stacey and Mari!)

Other than that, life has been going pretty well! I'm slowly starting to work out more (Which means instead of working out once a year, I work out like...five times a year. Hey, it's a start!) I'm struggling to pass a class so I stay buried in my notes. I got into an honor society, which is pretty dang awesome. AND....

I graduate in August!!

I do have a couple of posts I hope to crank out in between studying and cleaning for the rest of my spring break, but until August, the posts may be few and far between. I truly apologize for that. I can't wait until I have more time to spend with you all!

How have YOU been?
