Here's how the house is coming along....

Living Room After

The majority of the work on the main floor is complete and now we're starting on upstairs!!!

I want everyone to know....

I REALLY HATE BOX ELDER BUGS!!!

Here's why:

• They're on my kitchen walls...


• and kitchen floor.


• They line the doorway to my house


• and fly in whenever I open the door.


• Today, one decided to go down my shirt


• and another crawled on my arm.

This is unacceptable behavior and it must be stopped!!

Childhood Dreams DO Come True!!

I remember the Bloomfest Pagent question, "What do you want to be when you grow-up and why? My quick answer was always, "I want to be a nurse because I like caring for sick people."

How about the many years I dressed up as a nurse for Halloween...Practically everyone!

Or what about my doll who had more holes in it than swiss chesse, from my many IV attempts on it's head, feet, and wrist. Oh and I can't forget how I used mom's blue eye liner to draw veins for those IV's. This same doll received IV fluids through IV bags given to me from nurses at the hospital. (Yes, I played with this doll much longer than is socially acceptable)

Well, now I no longer have to just play nurse because it's real!! I passed NCLEX-RN! This is the national licensing exam for registered nurses, and quite possibly one of the most nerve wracking tests known to mankind.

So a little bit about NCLEX...this test can range anywhere from 75-265 questions and may last 6 hours. The test starts out kind of basic and builds or drops depending on how your doing. Then when you're done the screen just goes straight blank! My screen went blank at question 75 which meant I either failed miserably or passed. Then you must wait 48 hours to pay to find out results or wait a few weeks. This dillema was a no brainer for my sanity. I spent a few dollars to relieve my anxiety to see the word PASS.

I was laughing and crying just to know everything I've worked for finally was there and my dream was now my reality!

Now for the job.......


I am officially a Registered Nurse!!!!
