The Beginning.....

So, I just got home from working a 12-hour shift in the SICU and instead of hopping into bed, I am sitting beside my roomate, Hayden, and we have just decided to join in the world of blogging. I am hoping this will keep me in close touch with my amazing family back in Knoxville, TN and my friends for whom I cannot see everyday.
My life is a worldwind right now, passing by right in front of my eyes. I work as a full-time RN at Princeton Hospital and am in school full-time for Family Nurse Practitioner. I am living with two of my favorite people: Hayden and Megan. They are not only my sorority sisters, but have become two of the best friends I will ever have. I love living in Birmingham, but would never have thought I would live here for an extended period of time. While I do miss Knoxville and my AMAZING parents, I know this is where the Lord wants me right now. I am learning so much about myself and what I want for my life. Being independent is both scary and exciting, but I am loving every minute of it....
I work my last 12-hour shift of the week tomorrow and then I'm looking forward to a few days off......
