So Much to Do, So Little Time

Wowzers. It's been awhile since I've last written. But what can I say. . . life will do that to you! Remember in my last post how I said I had only gotten through the first two weeks of the semester but at least I was two weeks closer to graduation? Fast forward to today, and now graduation is only a month away.

WHERE HAS THE TIME GONE?!

Visiting AJ during our Utah trip

Had an ultrasound done on my leg to make sure there wasn't a bloodclot

Well I'll tell you. In the last two months, I've taken at least 15 nursing tests, completed over 100 hours of clinical, almost finished my preceptorship in the Labor & Delivery department at the hospital, applied to a few hospitals down in Salt Lake, gotten sick several times, taken care of a sick husband, completed thousands of hours of homework (okay maybe not thousands but it feels like a lot), went to the doctor too many times for various health reasons, took a trip down to Utah, had a dog, sold a dog, celebrated four birthdays and Halloween, went to a ton of football games,

helped grandma babysit the cutest boys and slept when there

Goofing off at a football game

was a little extra time. Oh and we've been spending a lot of time with family watching The Walking Dead. So yeah, that's where the time has gone.

One of my many injuries/health problems this semester

It still hasn't really hit me yet that I'm graduating from college soon. It probably won't hit me until I'm walking across the stage at graduation haha.
Maybe I'm just denying the fact that I have to actually become a real REAL adult in a few weeks.
Am I ready to be a nurse?
Am I ready to leave all of my nursing friends and work on my own?

I think I am ready but it's still a scary thought sometimes. However, I know that God has everything figured out already because things are starting to fall into place. Jordan and I found a very affordable basement apartment down in Salt Lake that is in his mom's ward, so that will be nice as we're transitioning. Jordan has a job lined up for when we move down and I've applied to a few jobs already. And of course, we'll be living near family which will really help a lot.

That's about it for us. Crazy to think that in less than a month my best friend will be home from her Provo mission already as well. Time definitely flies when you're busy. I can't say that time flies when you're having fun cause it's not always fun haha. But we've made some pretty great memories through all of the chaos and I wouldn't change anything.

I honestly can't wait for my family to come down for Christmas and graduation. I can't wait to move down to Utah and I can't wait to become a nurse. But I'm not going to wait to be happy until those exciting things happen. I'm going to try to find happiness in all of the tests, the homework, the night shifts, the bills, the snow and the sickness. Because life is too short to wait.

Happy Thanksgiving!
