That's a wrap

2014 is almost over....in like 2 1/2 hours. This has been a crazy year. I started 2014 at one job, one nursing school and one house. I'll ring in 2015 at a different nursing school, a different job, and in a different house.

The job and the school are definitely for the best. I truly enjoy my job working with patients....despite the fact it drives me crazy at times.

In November we had a fire at our house. It was started by the dryer and engulfed the whole house. It didn't burn down, thankfully but we are in a rental house for a few months while they completely redo the inside of our house.

Being inside the house while it was on fire was terrifying. I still have panic attacks thinking about it, but it's getting better. Our German Shepard was trapped in the house but thankfully she pulled through. I wouldn't be able to live with myself if she hadnt.

About a week ago my grandmother was taken to the hospital and they discovered she has a cyst in her brain. She's now at a SNF getting therapy. Its a very new situation that may bring a lot of change in the new year. Prayers for her would be appreciated!

There were good things that happened too. Namely, I got two brand new adorable nephews. I love being an aunt!

I start at my new nursing school in a few weeks. I'm terrified and excited.....

I've been blessed in other ways this year too. I'm still with the man I love, I've been healthy all this year, and my friends and family are happy and healthy.

Over the summer I was elected to the Board of Directors at Woodruff Fontaine House. I'm so excited and honored to get more of an opportunity to help preserve this beautiful gem and become a part of its ongoing history. I know I'll serve at least 2 years. I knew they wouldn't be able to get rid of me ;)

I'm so glad this year is almost over. I'm ready to start fresh and really start to heal from the trauma of the fire.

I'm trying hard to articulate a resolution...so many come to mind. I guess it can all be summed up as "Be better" Be a better friend, girlfriend, sister, etc. Be a better person. Learn more and grow more.

Now its 1 hour and 55 minutes til midnight.

Happy New Years friends!
