I have wanted to blog for some time and debated on it. Today, I decided to go ahead. I am not sure if this blog will have a theme for its postings (knowing me it will be a giant mix of topics). I am a full time nursing student at IU in Bloomington and love it - pretty sure I could be a student forever! During the school year, I work as much as possible, but this summer, I am working at Bloomington Hospital in the Special Care Nursery - our NICU. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it! I have finally figured out what I like! I work night shift, 7p-7a 3 nights a week. My internship is only 12 weeks long and is halfway over :( I am trying to soak it up and enjoy it while it lasts because I won't be able to work in there after my internship is over. Ryan is super busy with work this summer - which is great! He is great at what he does and he loves his job. Good thing I have Molly here to keep me company when he is away!
About Molly: She is a beautiful boxer/pit bull/who really knows mix that we adopted from the Bloomington Animal Shelter on February 1st. She has brought a lot of love to our apartment and tons of fun and laughter. I can't even begin to tell you how great it is knowing that we are giving her a better life than she had before! She is the sweetest girl imaginable - although she is a big girl. She is quite the schmoozer and seems to get everyone to rub her belly! When we first got her, she did not play with toys, at all. Now, she has FINALLY started to play with all the toys we have picked up for her in the last few months. It is so fun to watch her run and play! She tries to get several toys to fit into her mouth at once, but it never works! She loves ice cubes - sometimes I think she loves them more than life itself! Anytime we are near the freezer, she is on our tail and ready for one. Her all-time favorite treat, though, is banana! My have you ever seen a dog get so excited! Not a whole one of course, but if I am having one, I break off bites for her too. That is the closest she gets to people food - and its a fruit. Who knows, this blog could end up being all about Molly and how much I love her!
Ryan and I have been trying to get ready for this wedding we have coming up...I think it is 32 days away. WOW! We have been engaged for a year and a half and that has flown by! We thought we had plenty of time for this wedding planning business and it turns out that we didn't! We have all of the important things - well important to me anyways - food, music, and cake. That is all I really care about. If nothing else gets done, we have the essentials. Tomorrow we go meet our baker for our cake tasting and I am pretty stoked about that. The rest I don't really care about. If I had it my way, we would be on a beach at sunset with casual clothes, our feet in the tide, and a flower in my hair :'(
Today has been hotter than you know where, so I tried to take Molls out for short lengths of time so she didn't get too hot. She is just like her momma and hates this heat! She and I are both hoping for some storms tonight. Other than that, I just ran to the store to get a few things that I forgot on Friday and got a Coke from Steak'n'Shake during happy hour - they have the best Cokes!
I will end my first post there. Hopefully I will be back tomorrow - and someone reads this!
