The past few weeks...

I saw a delivery for the first time

I saw a C-section

I held sick babies and cried

I decided that I am going to be a labor and delivery nurse

I experienced the love parents have for their newborns 
I started my first IV!!!

I went to a Jack's mannequin concert with my beautiful cousin and my new friends

I saw old and dear friends in Utah

I spent time with people who mean a lot to me

I spent Valentine's Day in a hotel room...all alone

I fell in love all over again

I realized that I am more grown up than I thought I was

But more importantly...

I decided that I'm ready to grow up

 HOW LUCKY CAN ONE GIRL GET?

Last week I got to celebrate my HALF WAY mark of nursing school...woohoo!

And where did I get to go for my break?!!

Sunny, southern California!

Yep, thats right!

No rain, no mudslides, no clouds...

Someone just KNEW I needed some warm sunshine and 

the beach.

My little, busy world got lost in that big ocean and I felt unbelievably

calm and happy...

Ok, so I felt slightly envious when I saw something like this....

  

sigh...

But its ok.

I never feel lonely on the beach.

I had a fast and crazy love affair with it....

Just in time for Valentine's ;)

Just what i needed.
