I am not a very good blogger. It has been over a year since I last even wrote a post. I debated starting over and making a whole new page but I like re-reading what I wrote. It reminds me of memories and some pretty good eats that I need to remake! There are a few reasons why I wanted to start writing again. 1. I am becoming a different person, a better person and I would like to write down my blessings and my everyday joys. I have realized that I was way to focused on being happy in my future that I let the present rush right past me. I wasn't being a very good person and I now realize that, it is almost like I am awake after being asleep for a while. I realize small things around me and how much I love and appreciate them now. I am not perfect at this "new me" yet but I have the tools I need to keep working on myself and so far I really like what I am learning about myself. :) 2. When ever I can save up a little money, I want to buy a camera to take nice pictures. I want to be able to capture these every day things that I love and put them up for me to remind myself of the beauty I saw in them. 3. I am a total girlie girl and I LOVE makeup, hair and pretty much any kind of product and I want to somehow incorporate that in some of my posts. Also on my wish list is a nicer videocamera to do videos with because I always have so much fun making videos on makeup and products! 4. I like to write, it is a release for me and I like that I can go back and read things that I experience at certain times. It helps me to remember my joys in life, like cooking! After re-reading a few of my old posts, I realize how much fun I had while experiencing new recipes and I want to do that again! 5. I am in my last semester of nursing school and CANT WAIT to finish but I don't want life to pass me by anymore, this helps me to s l o w down and focus on what really is important in life. Nursing school is not allowed to be the definition of me this semester like it has in the past. I also took some time off of work (which is why i have wish lists! haha) so that I can have a few weekends to actually have fun and be with my girlfriends and enjoy my twenties!
Today I am thankful for the combination of dark chocolate and red wine, it has been FOREVER since I have had the two together and my goodness did I enjoy it tonight! I didn't over indulge which is another reason why I think I enjoyed it so much. I savored every single bite and every single sip! So SO good :)
My sister Catherine has been living with me while my other sister Allison is in Ohio for work. I miss Allison so much but Catherine has been such a joy to live with! She has such an incredible way of making me laugh and we can goof off for hours and just crack up at each other. She also has such an amazing heart, last week she bought me the most beautiful sunflower cake (my favorite flower is sunflowers) and the cutest leopard top! (I love leopard print anything). She just has this way of making me feel better about life and I love her for it!
The gorgeous cake my sister got for me :)
Today after class, I got to day drink with my two best girlfriends from school. I don't know about yall but I LOVE day drinking. Once again, I didnt indulge, but I had a couple beers while sitting outside in the sunshine. It was lovely, especially because we had a test this morning and our brains were fried! We are so different from each other but I feel like I learn so much about life from them. We have all had different experiences and therefore we live our lives in different ways and it is always better to get a different view point on certain topics. I am still so young and often can be narrow minded but they help me to see things in different lights and I am very thankful for that!
