Mr. and Mrs. Salls

I LOOOVE Wheaties. I am ALWAYS in the mood for a bowl of Wheaties.
I bought 10 boxes for 17 dollars! Is that a steal or what! I wish I had bought 20 boxes at that deal!

4 nurses were laid off at my facility. I am so grateful/thankful that I still have a job. I still love working nights- besides that fact that I now have trouble sleeping at night. (I can sleep anytime during the DAY though) I feel a lot of job satisfaction too. I feel like I really get to make a difference in people's lives. I try really hard to spend a little time with each patient talking with them about other things besides medicine and treatments. Being a nurse is a really hard job too sometimes (almost always)-physically and emotionally. It can be so stressful and you don't get to go the bathroom or eat and your back and legs hurt all the time.

I bought some songs on iTunes with some giftcards I got. Its really fun to have new music to listen to! Speaking of music-I got a keyboard for my birthday! It is very fancy and has its own stand!

I got my face lasered for some left over acne scarring on my cheeks! I have been wanting to do it for a long time. They don't really bother anyone else, but they bug me. A few years ago when I was having a particularly bad bout with acne I got a blessing. It wasn't about my acne, it was just a back to school one, but I remember one part talking about how my face would heal completely and look like it did before I was having acne problems. I was kind of surprised about that being said because I was not expecting it. Anyway, the point is it's amazing how life works and that all these years later I am now actually fixing those scars! One treatment down...a few more to go.

And lastly...I am in love. Just in case you were wondering.

I had 1 month off from school. PERFECT...oh wait, I have a job! It was really nice not having to go to school, but reality hit as I could not take off for home for all of my school break. I had to work! Somehow I was lucky enough to get Christmas Eve AND Christmas off!

We had such a great time! I loved spending time with my family and Jeffrey for the holidays! One of the high lights was rock climbing with the fam! I think that maybe it should be a new tradition!

School starts in a couple of days. One more semester to go until I have a bachelors of nursing! I am really glad I did it when I did. I have no regrets, but I am anxious for it to be over. It is going to go by fast! April 29th (graduation) here I come!

My birthday is in a week. I will be 24. Did anyone picture me being where I am, at 24? I certainly did not. Life is amazing!
