update

So...I realized that I tend to not post until I have a big long blog about something that I feel is a huge issue or whatever. I am going to try and post more often just about my daily life along with the big important (to me) posts :)

So, I finished my 3rd semester of nursing school. It was difficult in different ways. Instead of being really academically challenging the hardships came in the form of bad communication between teachers, and just not really knowing what to do. I felt as if this semester they just kind of threw us out in the hospital practically on our own and didnt really explain what was expected of us. Somehow I floundered my way through it and my patients recieved the care they needed...I just felt like I needed to take some ativan before every shift :)

Anyways, I have been working as a CNA now for about a month at a home health agency. At first I really hated it, but I have started to see some benefits from me working there. It has helped to be more thorough with my paperwork and I am learning how to take care of people in their homes, which I think is very helpful.

I have not been to church in about 3 weeks. I told my work that I was ok with working on sundays because my church offers a saturday night service. I have been scheduled every sunday from 7:30am-7:30pm. Every saturday night something comes up or I end up spending time with Sean instead of going to church. I realized that I actually do have a problem with working on sundays so I am going to ask for them off starting in august. I didnt think I would have a problem but getting to church on saturday nights is just to hard for me.

We are planning on going to see our good friends in tennessee next month. I am very excited to have a week off work with my hubby and our good friends!

Speaking of good friends, I am so grateful for the women God has placed in my life. They are such good friends and our random girl's nights are very much needed. Even if all we end up doing is go to wallmart...it is still fun.

On another note, I have decided to try and go completely organic. It was a hard decision for me because I am seriously such a cheapskate. I have been buying organic whole chickens and organic ground beef. And almost all the veggies and fruit I buy is organic. It feels good knowing that I am making food that hopefully wont harm us in any way. I have always had a passion for nutrition and eating healthy, so using organic foods fits my personality and lifestyle pretty good.

Some posts that all 3 (hehehehe) of my readers can count on are, 1. My review of the book, "The Shack," (just so you know...I loved it and think it is silly that so many people think it is a horrible book). 2. More stuff about body image...and much more.

Thanks for reading. I love you all!

Parenting

I am not a parent so I obviously don't know as much as some. However, I do believe I have a little more experience with kids than most people I know who are my age without kids. I have been babysitting for a long time now. About 12 years to be exact. I have witnessed families with incredible parenting, horrible parenting, alternative parenting, and really strange parenting. I have realized that it really doesn't matter what form of discipline or training you use. Consistency is the key. I was once given a copy of the book, "To train up a child," by Micheal and Debbi pearl. I was about 19 years old when I started reading this book and to be honest I had to put it down after the first chapter. I was sickened. They start out by comparing children to military personal. Here is a passage from the first chapter. " When headstrong young men join the military, they are first taught to stand still. The many hours of close-order-drill are simply to teach and reinforce su

Turning over a new leaf

So, when I got a gym membership about 10 months ago I agreed with my husband that I should be working out about 3 times a week to make my gym membership financially worth it. I was doing really good until about 2 months ago. I think that finals, along with getting a new job, new schedule, and my own laziness has really got in the way. Lately I have been lucky if I make it to the gym 2 times a week... The interesting thing is that I am finally at a place in my life where I am comfortable in my own skin. I have learned to finally embrace the way God made me and realize that no matter what my outer appearance looks like the true beauty comes from a heart after God. I have comes to terms with what a real woman looks like. Not the woman on the cover of Cosmo, not the woman in any victoria secret catalogue. Those women are beautiful...but they are fake. They have no ounce of cellulite, they NEVER have stretch marks, their skin is perfectly smooth. A real woman, no matter how physically fit t

mother's day

For mother's day this year, my husband and I decided to gift my mother-in-law with a night at her house. We would provide the food and we would just hang out. My mother-in-law LOVES to have people over to her house and it doesn't happen very often because she lives about 1 hour from all of her kids. Recently I made a Mexican casserole made out of mostly leftovers. I just threw a bunch of crap together and it was very delicious (I am pretty confident in my cooking skills :). While we were eating I asked my husband what he wanted me to make for dinner and he said he wanted the leftover Mexican casserole .  So today I tried to recreate the yummy dish...except using all fresh ingredients, instead of leftovers...I really have no idea how is is going to turn out. I couldn't remember everything I put in the last one. I also made a peanut butter cream pie with an Oreo cookie crust. I got the recipe from pioneer woman and it looks sooooo good. I am sad because my camera batte
