Three down, One to go...

You may remember my post back in May after my first semester of nursing school (One Down, Three to Go). Well, if you can believe it {I hardly can}, I just finished my third semester of nursing school and will be entering the FINAL semester come January. That means graduation is nearing, folks!!

The Sweet Sister God Gave Me.

In the spirit of Thanksgiving {getting a head start...}, I wanted to take a minute and share how incredibly THANKFUL I am for my lovely sister.

Words I want to live by.

I wanted to take a minute to post a link to a song that has encouraged me greatly the past few days. I heard it for the first time on Sunday, and I fell in love. I sat still just listening to each word. It was exactly what I needed to hear.

The Last Two Months

I finished the second of four semesters of nursing school on Friday. YES! It feels so good to be at the half way mark. It has gone by so quickly, and I am sure the next half will fly by, too. It's amazing how much knowledge they can shove into our brains in such a short period of time! Graduation {May 2014} will be here so soon..CRAZY.

Love my Daddy

Today and every day, I am SO thankful for the wonderful Dad that the Lord has blessed me with :) Daddy, I love you bigger than the world! You inspire me every day. Thanks for always making me laugh, for always supporting and encouraging me, and for the amazing father that you are. Best Dad in the whole world. I love you, Pops!! Happy Father's Day!

I want to remember this...

Yesterday I was introduced to Zach Sobiech's story. He was diagnosed with terminal cancer (osteosarcoma) when he was 14, and he passed away on Monday at the age of 18. Instead of living his life dreading when his final moment would come, he chose to live each day with joy and focus on making the most out of his time left here on earth.

Anniversary #2!

Happy 2nd Anniversary to my man :) 

2 years already?! I cannot believe how time flies. It seriously feels like we were just shoving cake in each other's mouths. Such a fun day :) LOVE being married to you, SPH! I feel so blessed. I love growing with you and just going through life with you. SO thankful for the sweet man God picked for me. This love is bigger than us :)

Our tears will be no more

One of the pastors at our church (The Village Church) has been doing a sermon series on suffering. We missed last week's since we were out of town, but I listened to the audio today and wow. I was brought to tears. So much truth. Most of the focus was on Romans 8 and Revelations 21.

Graduation // Mother's Day

This past weekend was filled with lots of fun, family, friends, and food :) My sister and her boyfriend both graduated from Texas A&M on Saturday morning - WHOOP! And in only 3 years! So proud :)

One Down, Three To Go..

Wednesday, May 1st, marked the completion of my first semester of nursing school. What?! I cannot even believe how quickly time is flying! A year from now, I'll be graduating and starting my career as an R.N. Crazy. I thought I would share what I've learned this semester (and by that, I mean more than just what I gained by flipping through the pages of a textbook).
