Hello Friends! Happy Monday. Here’s to a beautiful week ahead of us.

Work is going awesome! The one hour and twenty minute, one way, drive totally sucks, but cruise control and sirius are my new best friends…but, the alarm needs to learn that 4am is much too early to wake me up.

23 years ago today, February 22nd, was the due date of my first child. Shortly after midnight on February 23rd, a beautiful and healthy little girl was placed on my chest, and 23 years later she continues to take my breathe away. Can’t imagine my life without her, and so very thankful to be her momma! I love you Toni.

Time to cuddle with my electric blankie. Until next time.

Hello and Happy Thursday friends!!

This afternoon I was offered a 11p-7a position as the RN supervisor, on the Long Term Care unit at a Continuing Care Center and I am excited, nervous, and frightened at the same time. I will begin orientation the second week of February.

And then…I see my daughters post on Facebook, that she is excited that I have found a RN position, but she wishes it was in North Carolina. Of course I cried. I miss her so much.

It has been a wonderful today, and I am looking forward to this journey. Catch you tomorrow with a new layout share.

Hello Friends! I’m still on the search for additional ‘time’ to get everything accomplished that I want and need to.

Today I focus and find beauty in the ordinary.

I forgot to share my card for Saturdays Unscripted Sketches

This morning I had an interview at a facility for a Charge Nurse position, and it looks very good. Excited, and nervous at the same time. Now just need to wait for the HR Department to complete my background check, and call me and officially offer me the position.

The beginning of this month I applied for a Design Team position for Log Your Memory: Real Life 2010 Collab Project, and today I received word that I have been chosen. I am excited, and looking forward to meeting the team. If you are interested in having your work published, Kristin posted this information: 365 Chances To Get Published! And, if you aren’t a member of the Log Your Memory Community, what are you waiting for?

I’m working on the charms, and ATC swaps that I signed up for. Hoping to have a picture or two to share before the end of this weekend.

Well friends much to do, so I am going to run along for now…talk to you tomorrow.

[please excuse the appearance of my new blog template, we are still working on the design and layout]

Today the Unscripted Design Team is hosting an Unscripted Blog Hop.

I hope that 2010 brings each of us, our families, and loved ones,

  Peace, Love, Happiness, Health, and Everything Good!

The last few months of 2009 found me busy with life. Studying for the NCLEX exam, and stressing about the exam took up a lot of my life in my journey to become a Registered Nurse, but now I am ready to find my mojo and begin some scrappy projects!

In yesterdays post I have listed my Resolutions/Goals for 2010, and my word for 2010.

Project Share: As I am working on being better organized and getting rid of extra ’stuff’. I went thru every scrapbook magazine that I had and ripped out ideas and things that caught my eye.

I cut out and glued everything down and added to a Rolodex.

It sits within reach on my worktable and I love it! I am planning on covering the dividers with patterned paper and labeling my sections. I freed up a huge amount of space on my bookcase. Love when an idea comes together!!

Blog Candy! Two sets of acrylic stamps and one acrylic clear mini block.

Sign up to follow my blog. Leave a comment in this post, and come back on Saturday, January 9th at 6pm EST to see if you are a winner! I will use Random.Org to choose the winner.

Be sure to stop by Jeryns Blog. Visit Unscriped Sketches for the list of all of the Designers participating in our 2010 Unscripted Blog Hop!

Have a wonderful day friends, and here’s to a beautiful 2010!

The mailman delivered me a wonderful envelope today…

I started reading Stephanie Meyer’s The Host last night, and I am already enjoying it. Played around organizing my scrapbook and rubberstamp goodies today. Hoping to have my studio pulled together by the end of the weekend.

What an awesome feeling it is to ‘feel human’ again!! No stress, no anxiety, no nausea, no tears, no studying, no fear of failure!! I am just so elated I don’t even have the words to describe this feeling. I am truly blessed…

…Breathing in and out’s a blessing can’t you see.

 Today’s the first day of the rest of my life.

 And I’m alive and well. I’m alive and well…

And I am a RN.

Dreams do come true!! xo-Jenny
