Tonight I'm sending out lots of birthday love to the most important woman in my life. My Mom has been more than just an inspiration for all these years, she's been my rock my guiding light, and most importantly my very best friend. I can honestly say that my Mom has shaped me into the … Continue reading Happy Birthday Mom
Quinoa and Sweet Potato Chili
Apparently adding my most recent favorite recipe at 2:30am is what I do when I work night shift... Now, those who know me best know that I don't cook often, and even when I do, rarely are my kitchen creations edible or tasty. But this...THIS recipe was finally a success! If there's one thing I … Continue reading Quinoa and Sweet Potato Chili
Meet Jaggs!
We've had our dear Jaggs for about two and a half weeks now and I'm just getting around to writing a post about him. Not because I've forgotten or haven't wanted to, but because I just couldn't find the time with this little guy running around! Getting a puppy has turned out to be much … Continue reading Meet Jaggs!
Our Oklahoma Home Sweet Home
After a few months of being here we've finally had a chance to settle into our new apartment. Here's a sneak peek of our Home Sweet Home: The other day it was finally below 70 degrees, cloudy, and rainy here so of course I got into the fall weather spirit.

A Vermont Visit
After you've been away for a long stretch of time, even just the four months I've been gone, home is no longer quite what it was when I lived there before, it's simply just not the same. Yes, of course, there are many things that are familiar and the same- the layout of the streets, the houses … Continue reading A Vermont Visit

Flight Suits and Flight Lines- part I:
I've been here in Enid for about 3 months now and the one thing that, for me, takes the most getting used to is constantly tripping over boots and flight suits sprawled out on the middle of the floor. My first month here I spent quite a bit of time on base and even on … Continue reading Flight Suits and Flight Lines- part I:
She Believed She Could, So She Did…
My NCLEX Story: (Warning: Long post ahead) The Nursing Program at UVM spent all four years of nursing school preparing us, or better put "scaring us," for the NCLEX. The all dreaded NCLEX. The NCLEX-RN (National Council Licensure Examination) is the test you have to take after you've graduated nursing school to become licensed as … Continue reading She Believed She Could, So She Did…
Great Adventure Ahead
It was finally decided, we would leave for Oklahoma Wednesday June 3rd and arrive Friday June 5th. I had a job interview scheduled for the 9th so I knew I wanted to have a few days in Enid to get settled beforehand. Once the dates were scheduled, things started to get a bit more real. For … Continue reading Great Adventure Ahead
In Full Bloom
Well, I did it. While I always had the idea of starting a blog as soon as I finished college, using this as my main form of social media to update family and friends on whatever my new life brings, I never actually thought I'd follow through. The biggest reason for that is that I … Continue reading In Full Bloom
