Rambling

Since I'm on Spring Break and have a few extra hours, I thought I would finally update this and make a promise to myself to not wait a year for the next post. Shawna you should be very proud of me. In light of the fact that it's been over a year, I will just try to summerize the past few months and maybe have a real post next time...

Obviously, I am in my sophmore year of college. This, I'm pretty sure, is the year that all the professors want to weed people out of the nursing program. I am constantly asking myself why I am in this major, and then I remember it's because God said so and I continue on.

Overall this has been a pretty hard year academically, emotionally, and spiritually. I think Satan decided hitting me full force was a good idea, and to be completely honest it was, on his part, a good idea. Between homework, leadership meetings, clinicals, classes, and just being available to people, I am worn out. God is teaching me about perserverance, and it's coming at a high cost...my sanity! Just kidding, it's not that bad, but there have been a few days I've prayed "Is loving people and trying to be a good nurse supposed to make me go crazy?"

Having this break has been heaven for me. Until today, five days into my spring break, I have done nothing for school, and it's been amazing! The bad part is that I am now thinking about how much I have to do and I only have three days left. Oh well...

Onto the fun things of my break.

This past weekend I went to Chicago with a friend from school (Sarah) and hung out with an old friend (Tracy) who lives in Chicago. Sarah and I got to go to a Derek Webb concert, which was so amazing! Although he has been around for a while, I never thought I would like his music, until I actually listened to the lyrics. Now that I have, all I have to say is, it's too bad he's already married. Sad days.

The other highlight of my break is that I got to see my childhood best friend, Liz, and her amazingly adorable baby! Christopher is quite possibly the cutest little boy I have ever seen. Here are some pictures of him right after he was born.

Isn't he just precious? He has grown so much in the past month. He's gained three pounds and is eating like there's no tomorrow. Needless to saym, he is a joy in my life.

Well, the books and laundry are calling my name, so until next time...
