So, big news! D and I are officially homeowners! That’s right! We decided to bite the bullet and buy the biggest investment of our lives. Oh sure, we are now hundreds of thousands of dollars in the hole, but you guys- a house! That we can do whatever we want to! It is fairly obvious [...]

I have a lot of things in my life to be thankful for this Thanksgiving: I got out of my own bed this morning, on my own two feet. I had plenty of clean, warm water to shower with. I had lots of food to pick from for breakfast. I have a nice warm house [...]

When I started college in 2006, 2010 seemed SO far away…several lifetimes at least. D and I had just started dating, and I was beginning my first semester of nursing school. Fast forward to today, December 31, 2009. D and I have been dating for 3 1/2 years, and I’m about to graduate with a [...]

A Happy Birthday post for D: Twenty-eight years ago, you were born. All 10+ lbs of you. You were supposed to be a Halloween baby, but you insisted on hanging in there for another few weeks, the first signs of your lifelong habits of stubbornness and taking your sweet time. I wouldn’t change either of [...]

As some of you know, my sister V was in basic training a few months ago- I hadn’t seen her since August! Well, now she is out! We got to go to her basic training graduation and family day last week! The long weekend of fun got started last Wednesday with a drive to South [...]

Apologies for the hiatus. When I started this blog, I wanted to write everyday, but that just doesn’t always happen. A busy week this week! I started back to school, got fully settled in the new place, and did all the first week back-to-school book buying and homework and stuff like that. I really like [...]

Today I looked at my student account for school, where it lists your total charges and what you’ve already paid and everything. Do you know how much it has cost to put me through 3 years of undergrad? $27,257.30 I really should buy my parents a present. I was lucky though, I have recieved $18,201 [...]
