Day 24-Something you've learned

Something I've learned ...

Well in the past year I've learned that my life -or just life is amazing. I've been hard on myself the past year about not getting into nursing school. At certain times I thought my life was over & that I was never going to achieve my goal of being a nurse. Now I know that I WILL be a nurse!! No one/nothing can stop me! It might not be the quickest/cheapest route but I WILL achieve my goal. After getting denied I was depressed & cried (for a while) but things are starting to look up! I'm applying to Ivy Tech for their RN program. I went to Ivy Tech in Lafayette & loved it, it was such a good experience! Applications have to be in by April, but in the mean time I have to take a test called the TEAS & get a good score! I will take the test in Feb & again in March (to try to get a better score). :) So I've learned that even if you think your life is not going the way you wanted it to & maybe you are getting discouraged ALWAYS stay positive & think about how blessed you are.

I never really realized how lucky I am to have the life I have...I'm healthy, have great friends & family, an amazing husband, a warm apartment, food to eat, money to spend (Ryan doesn't always like this) & many opportunities .

Life & opportunities are all what you make them.
When things get tough, the tough get going.
Decide what you want ... believe you can have it, believe you deserve it, believe it’s possible for you.

Love the weekends!

I started this 30 day challenge on Nov. 21st so technically I should be done today but I got behind a couple days. I guess I could double up a couple days but I have to say I AM PROUD of myself for keeping up with this. I really hope it keeps me blogging after I am done.

This weekend was great!!!
Friday: Ryan & I had dinner & played the Wii w/ Jake & Rox :) We had a blast. We all went to the Cheesecake Factory & then they came over to see our apt. We ended up playing the wii! Rox & Ry are very competitive & they kept beating each other in this soccer game. It was hilarious to watch them go back & forth. I believe Rox ended up winning, she was so excited not to be the first loser (that's what Ryan says about 2nd place)!! We played a lot of games & it was so good to hang out with them!! Rox is by far one of the cutest preggos I've seen! Their baby Nora is going to be so cute & SO loved =)
Saturday: I had lunch with my Aunt Angie! She lives in Indy & we barely get together! We went to Le Peep & it was so good to talk to her. We actually stayed there for 2hrs & didn't even realize the time. She is so supportive of me & I love that! She is a nurse & great inspiration to me! She has one of my dream jobs...to teach nursing!! Then I SHOPPED UNTIL I DROPPED... I got everything on my list!! I felt so accomplished lol **Side note--One thing I did notice when I was in the mall is HOLIDAY SHOPPERS ARE CRAZY!! I think there is something that happens to people & they lose their marbles. I saw two ladies fighting over a parking space, I couldn't believe it! Then after one lady got the parking spot the other stayed in the lane & bashed her as a person & called her every name in the book---As she blocked traffic! Not to mention the lady who didn't get the parking spot then found one 4 cars down!! ** After Ryan got off work & I was done shopping we made our way to Monticello for my mom's side of the family's Christmas!! This year they wanted to keep the night simple, we had pizza, chicken & noodles & enough desserts to feed an army :) It was delicious. Then we played LCR & I DIDN'T WIN :( Ryan did though so we didn't lose money!
Sunday: I went to the Colts game w/ my dad & Amber!! It was such a great game!! My dad has been a season ticket holder forever so he has great seats. They're on one of the end zones & only 3 rows up! You can hear the plays & see the players up close! COLTS BEAT THE JAGS & now continue their road to the playoffs!! After the game I picked up gyros for Ryan & I and we spent the evening together watching 2 movies!! It was a great ending to a great weekend!

Day 23-Favorite vacation

I don't want to be repetitive so... please refer to DAY 8!!! :)

Day 22-Favorite city

My favorite city is hard to narrow down so I will do my 3 favorite cities :) (its my blog ... I can do what I WANT)
1. Lafayette, IN- our hometown, Ryan and I have so many friends & family members that live there. I love driving down a road that has 2 lanes & that's it (this barely happens in Indy), I love dognsuds, I love Arni's, I love that you can drive from one side of the town to the other in approx 15 minutes, I love the simplicity of the town & PU
2. Clearwater, FL / Indian Rocks, FL- Ryan's grandparents have a condo here & we love to visit this city. For a while we've visited them on spring break & have a blast. Their condo is great!!! It has an Olympic size pool, the inter coastal is right out their back porch & across the road is the ocean. There are great restaurants & fun shopping.
3. Indianapolis, IN - living here for the past year has been great! I am ready to buy a house & call this city my own :) or maybe Fishers or Carmel -it doesn't have to be in Indy. I love all the restaurants, stores & great things to do in this city. The only thing I don't like is how big the city is & all the highways/interstates. Oh & I love the COLTS, GO BLUE

Day 21-Picture of yourself

I dont have many pictures of just me!
