The Dress

I have sworn myself off from shopping until I received my first paycheck. This happened in December. So the whole month of December, January, February, March, and thank you God this will end April 4th. Seriously - I knew I had a problem - but - I felt like an addict. It was incredibly hard - HOWEVER - it needed to be done.

Now, during my obnoxious spending days and must have purchases - I order the dress. This dress was purchased at a sample show back in November - one shoulder, chiffon, floor length, and a beautiful blue color. I was so excited / scared that I would not still like said dress and it would not be the same as when I looked at it in November. I went to the store and picked it up, but do to time restraints I could not try it on. This evening, I decided it was time. Eyeballing the dress with much speculation - I slipped it on. And wow. GORGEOUS.

First off, this dress was purchased with the intent of wearing it to a formal spring wedding in Lexington, Kentucky. However, after putting this amazing dress on it had me thinking. I want to save the dress ... for a special occasion, like my wedding rehearsal dinner. One exception - I'm not engaged. Nor will I be in the near future. When I was looking at said dress in November, one of the ladies working told me how she almost ordered the dress for her rehearsal dinner - and was going to chop the bottom off to above her knee. Clearly her thoughts had me thinking ... even four months later.

Ohhh what is girl to do ....

Time for Something New

New job, new directions, new life goals, new blog.

For the past two years, I have been focused on graduating from nursing school and moving far away from my home town. However, it is funny what God has in store for you ... and how what you thought was your life plan, turns out not to be God's life plan.

So here I am. Recent nursing school graduated who has landed her dream job at one of the top hospitals in the country and is part of the number one heart programs in the world. Yes - in the world. It is time to strap up the boot straps, it's time to go to work. Orientation has begun and I think my stress level has hit all kinds of levels...but I know this is to be expected. I am just very ready for it to be June/July and hopefully settled into some kind groove.
