Currently Reading Give Me a Break: How I Exposed Hucksters, Cheats, and Scam Artists and Became the Scourge of the Liberal Media... By John Stossel see related

Well hello all. Hope life is sane for everyone, but where is the fun in that? I passed boards, which was a minor miracle. I am living in a great apt. next to some fun friends. I am working full time, which is definitely a change. I quit Ann Taylor for the time being (goodbye to cute clothes!). And I am definitely still adjusting to all the change. Which includes Ben of course. Gentlemen, you have no idea the havoc you unwittingly cause. We females love and curse you at the same time:) Life is wonderfully challenging at this point in time. I miss you all..please call at some point. I realize I will miss OBU for the academic environment as well as the friends. Living alone is quite a change. Learning more and more about Christ's grace, Gospel, and sovereignty. Learning how working with dying children increases one's hope of heaven. Learning a lot! Do call.

Ahhhh. Its been a while, I confess. Life has been full of changes, mostly good. My body is slowly adjusting to night shift, only to switch to days next week. The PICU is challenging and thought provoking...still wondering about nursing as a career. Med school just needs to disappear as an option.

My apartment is great...do come by. Wood floors and good music work wonders for a stressful day. I even have food now! Still enjoying church, walking/running in my neighborhood, Annie, my sisters, old movies, new movies. Still a transition. I am learning a lot about self and the Gospel, which is much needed. The Gospel, I mean. I wish I could retain Sunday mornings every day of the week.

Other than that, I am studying a lot, and missing Ben. Both take up some time:)He is doing well, for all of you who know him...studying postmodernism/modernism and its effects on the church. Reading a lot/listening to sermons/lectures, studying Derrida lately. And apparently eating mac and cheese in the Alps. Life doesn't get much better than that!

OK...signing off for probably the next month. You all know my number. Please use it! And rejoice in His redemption.

Currently Listening For All The Saints: Indelible Grace III By Various Artists see related

I am officially an adult. And I am not so sure I like it:) I am all moved into my new home. Please come by and visit. It is a weird feeling to move from living with three best friends to living by yourself. And realizing that you are now officially done with all education. Until a few years down the road, that is. I got to see Maggie over graduation weekend, which was WONDERFUL. I love my new home...wood floors, green walls, crown molding, yellow kitchen - it is great. I am definitely still adjusting though...I don't really like coming home to an empty house. Work has started and boy is it boring (just the orientation part). I have realized that I have ADD when it comes to sitting for long hours. Anyway, I have next week off, I go to Houston (with Ben!!!) for Kim's wedding (woohoo - we are going to get henna tattoos and do a little belly dancing:), and then I'll start work on the PICU. And I am excited. Please call...I want to hear from you all.

This post is dedicated to Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Clark. Ya, that's right. I don't have anything to say, but oh well. Taco Bell is fast becoming a good friend of mine, as is the idea of sleeping for a really long time. Finals are in full swing and I am almost finished. Oh there will be partying in the streets, my friend. I may even wear my new gold shoes to my final finals just to commemorate the event.

Grey's Anatomy consumes my life. I am not going to lie. I love that show. Except for how ridiculous some of the medical stuff is. But I even like that.

Guys...I take two exams, graduate, move into a new apartment, and start a career all in the space of seven days. Stress is also a good friend. Praise Him for the Gospel.

Clarks, it was a blast...we should do it again so this time I can win:)

Currently Watching The Chronicles of Narnia - The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (Widescreen Edition) see related

I like margaritas...pizza...hard questions...maggie miller coming back to me...bright flowers...the color blue....and red for that matter. I like candles...stairs...needles...vintage pictures...my cargo shorts...scrubs...chapstick...fresh sheets...shaved legs...the smell of rain...flying...belly dancing...french baguettes...communion...music that stirs the soul...the reality that there is something more noble than my mere existence...my black and white dress...mashed potatoes...Aslan...cherry vanilla cokes...fresh coffee...reading in bed...reading about the explorers (Magellan, Cook, etc.)...reading in general...laughing really hard...change...well, maybe. I also like vodka and tonic...pearl earrings...the sound of airplanes flying overhead (the best place is I40 near Tinker)...

Ok...enough. I can't think anymore. I'm doing well, all. And possibly looking for a roommate. Possibly. I don't really know. And an apartment for that matter. Still learning quite a bit about myself and life in general. Which is a good thing. Enough for now.

Except, please, never wear a fur choker/collar thingy.
