Simple Things

Today, before going into work I just took some quiet moments to myself. In my quiet apartment, with nothing to do, I just sat and enjoyed this moment in my life.

Between graduating college, passing my boards and becoming an RN, accepting a new full time RN position at one of the top hospitals in the world,  Nick getting baptized, moving to a new apartment, getting married. . .  I'd say I thoroughly enjoyed 2012.

There were some hardships as well; friends moving away, family members with health issues,  job rejections, financial struggles, not to mention the crazy number of national tragedies our country has experienced.

There are so many more pictures i could post, between having game night every week with our best friends, trips to visit long lost friends, new babies being born in our family, new pets, grandparents  wedding anniversaries etc.

I just can't believe how much has changed from last year at this time. Some of it good, some of it disappointing. But overall I can't believe how much I have changed.

Looking forward to the start of a new year and many memories to come.

xo.

What are some of you favorite memories from this year?

Tis da Season

Wrapping Gifts



There is no better feeling than when all the gifts are bought,  wrapped, and under the tree. Well I guess there is one better feeling. . . .  getting to open them! I will be celebrating Christmas this weekend since I work both xmas eve and day. (cue violins).

Tis da season. Enjoy the chaos of this holiday season. For not all chaos is bad.
