Taking a Little Blogging Vacay

I'm so sad to say that I think I'm going to take a bit of a blog break.  I keep thinking that "tomorrow" I will start blogging again but, it's been about a month and it still hasn't happened - so, I decided I should probably take a break.  

I've really missed reading everyone's blogs - we just have so much going on these days that I simply haven't had a chance.  

Once we move and get settled, I fully intend to pick back up.  I hope everyone has a wonderful summer - please know that I will be praying for all my wonderful blog friends!!

Happy Summer!!!

what I've been up to.....

Happy Friday Blog Friends!!!

When I graduated nursing school I envisioned my summer would be filled with long, leisurely days poolside with a cool drink in one hand and a good book in the other...well, I was a bit off. Mostly because the weather is sooooo not cooperating - at all! Today forecast has a high of 71 and all day rain is predicted - in the middle of June?!?! On the bright side, it is leaving plenty of time for preparing for our upcoming PCS/move - yay!

Lately, I've been....

Online house hunting. Surprisingly is proving to be more time consuming than I ever imagined it would be. I'm willing to be patient though, I'm completely convinced that Kevin and I will be blessed in finding an adorable little place. :)

Ah, the job search.....actually, this has been the most frustrating thing I've been doing lately. I can't seem to find a nursing job that doesn't require experience, and since I'm a new grad, I don't really have any experience.

***While we are on this topic, if any of my wonderful blog friends know of a place (in the Columbia, MD area - any place) that would like to hire a friendly, out-going, hardworking, quick learning new RN grad please let me know. :) ***

Did I add enough glowing adjectives to describe myself??? Lol!

Ahhhh, the Red Box. I honestly don't know how I ever lived with out this wonderful invention. I may never step foot in another Blockbuster!! Last week, Kevin and I rented two movies and watched them both Saturday afternoon...yeah, it was awesome!! It's really the little things in life that make me happy.

Yay for catching up with friends!! There is very little that beats catching up with a friend over a yummy cup of coffee...especially friends with babies!!! Seriously, it seem like all of my friends are having (or just had) babies - soooo fun!!

Visiting the Spa, one of my most favorite things to do!! Last week my estician told me that she and her husband were moving to California and that she had just put in her notice - tear! But....since I'm leaving too I guess we would be parting ways anyways and I know they will have an absolutely blast in California. She has come to be a great friend and I will miss her. It's times like these that I'm super thankful for facebook!!

Well, I'm off for another fun-filled day of internet hunting!! Happy Friday everyone!!

Is it Summer Yet?!?!

I'm so, so, so done with this cold weather!! It's been in the high 20's A L L day L O N G! Plus, the sun hasn't come out either - very sad. Even though is only February, I'm ready to head out to the lake, lay out, go to the pool, see the sun out past 6pm, running outside again (because I'm a wimp and don't like to run outside when it's below freezing), outdoor concerts, not to mention that I'm so ready for some summer clothes! Oh yeah, I'm absolutely ready for sun dresses and my Old Navy flip-flops (aren't those just the best!?!?).

Now, don't get me wrong, I'm hardly bikini ready....I have a few more Pilates sessions to go before I can even talk about a bathing suit BUT, I'm definitely ready for a warm Spring day. Something warm enough for an outdoor meal. Oh! In fact, I know just the place! There is a super cute restaurant in Omaha's Old Market where I'd like to celebrate my first outdoor meal of the season - the restaurant is called M's Pub (but, it's not really a "Pub"), they have really yummy food and an adorable patio/garden area in the Spring and Summer....hmmm, I'm not sure how I just transitioned into food but, that maybe part of my not being "bikini ready" problem - ya think?!?

Well, I should probably go back to my clinical paperwork, but....day dreaming about warm weather is much more fun. ;)
