Where do I start!

Well, its been at least a month, if not more, since my last blog posting. So much, yet not much, has happened recently. Winter quarter has been over for about three weeks now, thank God, and I am now enrolled in an online nutrition class. Compared to my recent chemistry rendezvous, nutrition is just a walk in the park. For me, my winter chemistry class was extremely trying; physically and emotionally. I was so blessed to receive a fairly decent grade though:) I was also extremely lucky to find that one of my good friends, Emmy, majored in science, BioChemistry I believe, and that was similar to what I was doing. She was an absolutely amazing tutor and I couldn't have done it without her! It was the first of many science classes I will encounter while trying to become a nurse. In a way, that class set the tone for what I will be going through over the next few years. These classes will continue to be a challenge and I am trying to prepare myself for a tough road ahead; but boy do I want it!

Another adventure coming up here in the near future will be completing the STP with my sister this July. (Thank you very much Alli for signing me up, you will be responsible for dragging me through the last 50-75 miles, lol!) So of course you would think I am in major training mode right now, right? Not so much, but I'm workin' on it! I just recently joined the gym again and have started taking their cycling classes. Signing up for this summer bike ride was actually a great incentive to get myself back in shape, both physically and mentally. Here goes nothing!

I'm so grateful for so many things in my life right now: three amazing children, who are doing great in school, a supportive and very helpful husband, a leisurely quarter for me as well, a bright summer ahead with lots of fun activities planned, a new niece to be born this May, lots of great girl-friends to have fun with, my sister coming home in 5 weeks, and just always being surrounded by an awesome family!

More to come soon...!
