Lately

The year has started off pretty good for us... lots of plans in the works for 2015. It's been a struggle trying to decide on items to decorate the house with and really I have been just one tired lady lately.....When I'm not working, I'm glued to either my bed or the couch.

Absolutely no energy.....

But I guess that's to be expected when you are EXPECTING.

You guessed it! I am carrying our first baby and we are sooooo excited about it! I've been wanting to say something for a while but...my computer is all the way upstairs compared to where my bed and the couch are so, you know.... just hadn't gotten around to it lol

I don't have any postworthy belly shots yet, but they will soon be coming! I had started working out by doing prenatal yoga and going to the gym, but I hadn't been keeping up with it. Surely don't want that to come back and bite me so I need to find somebody's energy to start back up again.

That's pretty much all I've been up to lately. What about ya'll?

What I've been up to lately

So I mentioned in my previous post that I've had a lot of things going on the reason why I had been so absent on the blog scene, but I wasn't specific at all so..... Guess what time it is? Sharing time :)

Some of you know back in October I finished RN school after a long 2 yr mind torturing session journey and not even two weeks after I finished I received my specialized code allowing me to schedule my test...... so I did and began studying for the state board exam (NCLEX-RN). At the time I felt as though I was ready and my pinning ceremony was coming up so I decided that scheduling my test in early Dec would be good timing as I could already be an RN when I walked the stage. Hmmp, wishful thinking. Long story short, I ended up not passing my board exam and to rub salt in my wound I had to keep repeating the results to everybody that knew I had taken it. It was hard blow to my pride man! I really wanted to be working by the beginning of the year...... but I guess that was out of the picture.

After waiting my mandatory 45 days to retest, I was able to schedule another exam and this time around I was a lot more calm and mentally prepared for the test. I felt very confident in myself and it showed while I tested.......and for that reason (and by the grace of God) I am now a licensed nurse!!!!!! I am thrilled to be able to start my career as an RN and I can't wait to share work stories :) 

THAT'S NOT ALL......

In the midst of my studying and preparing for the test(s) we decided to take the plunge and look for and purchase a house. It went fairly smoothly, our Realtor was phenomenal in helping us find a home that we could grow into....... but the loan process was absolutely terrible. Let's just say I am more than glad it's over and done! So most of January was spent studying/packing and now we are currently still unpacking and getting things settled into our new home. I'm no interior designer so decorating the house may prove to be a bit of a challenge for me; thank God for pintrest lol

So I am a new nurse and new home owner, that's what I've been up to lately...... What about you? How you guys been? What you been up to?
