HAPPY....new....year! :)

I can still say happy new year right!??? lol It doesn't have to be Jan 1st to say it! Although it would have been ideal to do so. 

HIIII! :) 

Long time no see! I have been gone for a while because my computer has not been with me lately. It has been blessing another soul....(kevin) haha. But I have it for today! :) 

I hope that you had a great Christmas and New year! Hope that the resolutions are still marching forward! :) The new year has definitely started and flown for me already! I mean, come on, we are in the middle of the the first month already! I think it's funny how business is, as soon as December is gone, Valentine's decorations and things start popping up! Soon enough it'll be Easter and so on with the speed of time! Such is life though. 

I wanted to do a little recap on how my new years get-together was for me and show you a little of what went on. :) So hang in there and bear with me because here I go:

Made a balloon drop people! :)

So this balloon drop was intense! A few days before the 31st, I was sitting on my couch just thinking. I suddenly looked up and the idea came to mind! I had never heard or had ever seen one of these before. There I was, trying to figure the whole thing out, how it was going to hang, what I should use to sustain the balloons, etc. Then I decide to tell Kevin and ask for ideas for my brilliant and awesome "original" idea! 

His response: Baby, I'm sure there have been several people who have done this before. Look it up on pinterest and I'm sure it'll be on there. 

(world came crumbling down...) exaggerated much? Yes. 

Well, I thought it was funny because according to myself I thought this was original, and for some reason thought no one else in this world had done it before. ha! So much for that. But I still count it as an original self idea and it turned out to be fun which is what counts. :) 

People were ready to bring it down!

And there is went! :) 

There was some dancin'

And some of this! :)

With my K!

And with some of the ladies :)

Overall, it was a great time. So then on the 1st we decided to go to Thomas Jefferson's house in Charlottesville. It's called Monticello. Beautiful from the outside and the inside! Love that house! And your cool fact of the day (which you might already know) is that this is the house our nickels have imprinted!  :) That man was a genius. 

Now, I am excited to start my real job and see how this whole commuting situation works for me. If I hadn't mentioned it, my job will be 45 minutes away. A bit scary for the days I'm dead and have to drive back but good because I know friends who live in the area and can totally stay there if there was such a situation. Nurse Beverly.....:) Hi! That's me! :)

I start on January 28th so it's definitely coming. The "good life" is coming to its end. I will miss my little Jacob dearly, but will be seeing him around. But I am ready to embrace this new journey of the nursing world. :) Comfy scrubs, tennis shoes....come on! Doesn't it make you want to be a nurse?? :) :P

I also wanted to quickly tell you that I have joined this bible reading plan that has a blog and is on instagram! :) Very neat! It is called "She reads truth" and if you click here, you can take a look at it and see more of what I am talking about. It is awesome! I would encourage you to join if you haven't already! You can do it anywhere you have internet! :) I'll have to tell you tomorrow how the Lord used one of the passages from this plan to teach me a lesson and show me love through it too. 

But anyways, I hope you are having a great start of your week and hope you have a good rest of it! :)
