Geessh it has been such a long time since I have blogged. I am going to jump right into some MAJOR updates!!

We are moving to Denver, Colorado in less than one month, for starters!! We close on our home on December 3rd and we could not be more pumped!! We will be about half a mile from Coors Field (where the Rockies play) and Bryan will be within walking distance to his work. Our house is in an area called Five Points and it is in Denver proper. I love our house and cannot wait to make it a home and I cannot wait to show pictures!!

I graduated from nursing school, praise the LORD! And I passed Nclex. Wowzas. I was working at WakeMed in the Chest Pain Unit and absolutely loved my time there. Because we are moving in less than one month, I am not working anymore. I worked as an RN for about 4 months and cannot wait to be working again in Denver. Nclex was no walk in the park. People have asked me what it was like and I really cannot remember a single question. I think that I have blocked it from my memory-for realz. Any nurse that I have ever talked to about it says that you leave the test thinking that you have failed and they are right. I thought there was no way that I passed that but by God’s grace I did!

Buuuttttt I am still in school. I am getting my BSN from UNC-Chapel Hill. It is a program that is completely online other than 1 clinical portion. I will do my clinical at a hospice place in Denver during the Spring semester. It is a really great program. UNC is legit and it has not been a walk in the park. I am learning a lot about leadership in nursing, research in nursing, etc.

Penny is officially a one year old! I joke that she has a zest for life as she drags me around the neighborhood. She is about 85 pounds now and is sweet as can be. She has not met a dog that she doesn’t like (this is not mutual unfortunately) and she has adjusted to apartment life really well. She is still incredibly playful and not all dogs are crazy about playing with a puppy but this has not stopped her attempt to play with every.dog.she.sees. I will post some pictures soon of the Pennster. JD joked about having dogs as idols in your life on Sunday morning….she is definitely not an idol but she is just too cute for words.

Thanks for your patience with me if you are reading this post….which you are. I just got back on Twitter this week and according to WordPress, I haven’t blogged in nearly half a year. See you soon….definitely in less than half a year.
