Almost Forgot I Had This

Oh, hello blog! It's been awhile! Hilarity must not have ensued lately. I can relate - it's been a boring, stressful run. Lets go over recent happenings...

Nursing School
I'm done! I graduated magna cum laude on August 11th and after a very wonderful two week hiatus I am back to studying. My boards are coming up and let's just say this material is BORING. Chances of failing: unfortunately high. Just can't seem to focus, especially when studying consists of reading hundreds of pages in a giant book followed by watching an extremely repetitive online lecture. Yeesh.

Prior to graduation, let's just say I was kind of a hard case. I did get to spend the summer in the ER at Norfolk General (my dream job) and it was everything I hoped it would be. Maybe if I'm lucky they'll let me work there. We shall see.

The Dogs
Rotten. Absolutely rotten. I love them anyway.

Ben
Away a lot on weeklong trips to get flight hours. He's also known to disappear when hurricanes are forecasted. I think I should be awarded a medal of honor for valor in the face of 115 mph winds. A girl can dream, right? Last night Ben went through all possible scenarios and where I should go in case of this and that and blah blah blah and I looked him square in the eye and said something to the effect of, "Honey badger don't care!" You're going to have to see this to know what I'm talking about. Poor Ben.

Ben also surprised me with a brand spanking new Nissan Xterra Pro-4X. I think I'll keep him forever. I had been driving a 2002 Xterra and absolutely loved it. The new one came with leather, blue tooth capability, 4 wheel drive, and a million other improvements from the model 10 years ago. Pretty stoked.

Other than that, it's life as usual. We spend our weekends stand up paddleboarding and weekdays studying and working. Hopefully things will get funny soon. I can't take much more of this studying and seriousness!
