Taking a Little Blogging Vacay

I'm so sad to say that I think I'm going to take a bit of a blog break. I keep thinking that "tomorrow" I will start blogging again but, it's been about a month and it still hasn't happened - so, I decided I should probably take a break.


I've really missed reading everyone's blogs - we just have so much going on these days that I simply haven't had a chance.


Once we move and get settled, I fully intend to pick back up. I hope everyone has a wonderful summer - please know that I will be praying for all my wonderful blog friends!!


Happy Summer!!!

What I've been up to.....

Happy Friday Blog Friends!!!

When I graduated nursing school I envisioned my summer would be filled with long, leisurely days poolside with a cool drink in one hand and a good book in the other...well, I was a bit off. Mostly because the weather is sooooo not cooperating - at all! Today forecast has a high of 71 and all day rain is predicted - in the middle of June?!?! On the bright side, it is leaving plenty of time for preparing for our upcoming PCS/move - yay!


Lately, I've been....

Online house hunting. Surprisingly is proving to be more time consuming than I ever imaginedit would be. I'm willing to be patient though, I'm completely convinced that Kevin and I will be blessed in finding an adorable little place. :)

Ah, the job search.....actually, this has been the most frustrating thing I've been doing lately. I can't seem to find a nursing job that doesn't require experience, and since I'm a new grad, I don't really have any experience.
***While we are on this topic, if any of my wonderful blog friends know of a place (in the Columbia, MD area - any place) that would like to hire a friendly, out-going, hardworking, quick learning new RN grad please let me know. :) ***
Did I add enough glowing adjectives to describe myself??? Lol!


Ahhhh, the Red Box. I honestly don't know how I ever lived with out this wonderful invention. I may never step foot in another Blockbuster!! Last week, Kevin and I rented two movies and watched them both Saturday afternoon...yeah, it was awesome!! It's really the little things in life that make me happy.


Yay for catching up with friends!! There is very little that beats catching up with a friend over a yummy cup of coffee...especially friends with babies!!! Seriously, it seem like all of my friends are having (or just had) babies - soooo fun!!


Visiting the Spa, one of my most favorite things to do!! Last week my estician told me that she and her husband were moving to California and that she had just put in her notice - tear! But....since I'm leaving too I guess we would be parting ways anyways and I know they will have an absolutely blast in California. She has come to be a great friend and I will miss her. It's times like these that I'm super thankful for facebook!!

Well, I'm off for another fun-filled day of internet hunting!! Happy Friday everyone!!

Today my little brother left for boot camp.....

I bet he will be doing lots of these.....
I can't believe my brother is left for boot camp today!!! He joined the National Guard on his 17th birthday ( - I was surprised to learn that one is able to join the Guard when one is ONLY 17!!) and has been drilling with his unit for the past six months. Luckily, there are 4 other people in his unit going to boot camp with him. I'm soooo very proud of him!! I cannot express how much he has grown (spirituality and mentally) in the past few years. I would so appreciate it if you all lifted him up in your prayers......and maybe his older sister (me) who is experiencing some pretty intense bittersweet emotions ;) Well, I will leave you with some pictures of my "little" brother

Hmmm....I guess he was in a serious mood.....so not like him - he's always smiling :)


Don't mind my Mom's yellow Bug in the background - lol! ;)

Heading to DC

I'm offically on my way to Washington DC where I will be spending the week with my Aunt - yippee!!

I must say though, even though I'm only 2 hours into my trip, I already miss my boys - terribly. They have lots of "guy" stuff planned and I know they will have an absolute blast with whatever they end up doing!!!

Happy Wednesday!! Hope everyones week is going well!!!
