Blonde Moments

Happy Friday!! 

Wednesday afternoon, I arrived in Jacksonville to see my honey while he works on another store opening for his company. Luckily, this store is only about two and a half hours from where we live so I was able to come see him on my day off! 

While I am waiting for him to get off,  I realize some things. He and a friend of his who helped him get on the team have only been doing this working-away-from-home lifestyle for about 3 months now. It hasn't been the easiest of transitions for me but we've survived and gotten stronger, each trip gets easier. I have come to learn about the other guys on this team through him and come to find that most of them are single. I realize as I think about all this that not every couple can survive this kind of lifestyle. It makes me proud and scared for us. Proud because we have grown together during all this, but scared because I know that there are always insecurities lurking around the corner. I am so proud of babe for all the hard work he does on the job to get these stores ready for grand openings and for helping me through all of this. I am not the best at changes, actually, I'm probably the absolute worst! Not even going to try to sugarcoat that one! God definitely sends us people that will help us through the hardest times in the way we need them to, not the way we want them to. I got to witness all the blood, sweat, and muscle that goes into an average work day for him. I believe that a girlfriend/wife should be able to do what I got to do; see what their guy does for work, it was very eye-opening!!

Thankfully, I have a man who is focused on creating a better life for us and supports me no matter what. He may not be the most sappy, romantic man in the world but he's the kind of man who will work hard for me and for the little family we have become. I think I'll keep him around! Now, this post has been pretty sappy. Hey I'm a girl! You can't blame me, that's my excuse! It is okay to dote every now and again!

Macaroons and Memories

We didn't know we were making memories, we just knew we were having fun In the last two weeks, I've gone back to my hometown for appointments and family events. It is always interesting going back. When I'm at home in O-town, I always feel like I'm missing "back home" and want to return. Then I return and am reminded why we left; there is nothing wrong with where I am from, I just love where I am going! Centennial Park in Downtown Fort Myers My sister arranged with her photographer friend to have some family photos taken. My mom has been dying for them so we appeased her. After all, you never know when you'll have the chance again! We color-coordinated our crazy bunch and they will hopefully be great! The photog sent over some sneak peeks after and they look great so we are looking forward to seeing the rest! My sister and I My mama and her girls Since we live in the theme park capital of the world, we have annual passes to most of the par...

I'm Made of Glitter, Water, and Anxiety

So over the last few years I have struggled with admitting and treating my own personal demon of anxiety. I have many friends who have a similar struggle and agree that prior to becoming it's prey, we thought anxiety was a total joke. I mean, when I would witness an anxiety attack I would just think, 'come on, pull it together sister!'. But now that I tend to deal with it on the daily, it is a very real monster. To have your own brain betray you as such is a difficult thing to grasp. Going from a perfectly rational person to trying to prevent anything and everything that could possibly happen, you look at yourself and think 'jeez! What a nutcase!'. Treating my anxiety wasn't an easy task, especially since I began treating mine at the end of a relationship and while being completely alone. It was a daily struggle and I really didn't feel like anyone would understand without being judgemental. I also used substances as my release, we all know I love my wine....

Onto the Next One

I have posted before about my career and what happened that curbed my journey in nursing school. It has taken a long time, alot of research, and a good amount of courage and support to get my heart and mind ready to return as a student. Thankfully, I have the best motivation and I know I can definitely do it now. The first half of this year handed me my pride and visions of where I swore I thought I'd be at this point in life. Perhaps that is why it has taken me so long to feel prepared to return and accomplish what I set out to do 5 years ago. I am looking forward to continuing on but I am really going to have to swallow my pride and go back to square one. I have been in the medical field for nearly 10 years, I have done the CNA thing in the hospital, I have seen babies born, held the hand of a mom-to-be who lost her baby, I have talked to someone who was delivered news of a terminal illness, I have seen a lot. This is the pride I'll need to "suck" up as soon as I ...
