Thankful

Being that it was the season of THANKSgiving. Here are a few things I'm thankful for... (in no particular order)

• My amazing wonderful family
• My fabulous friends in Springfield and getting to live right next to and with my fave people
• High school friends and the fact that it seems like no time has passed at all when we get back together
• All the members of my extended/adopted family - The Garrett, Kinman, Spalding, Bates/Dieke, Adams, and Dobyns families
• My job - it may drive me crazy, tire me out, be incredibly frustrating & intense sometimes, but I could never do anything else. I know this is what I am supposed to do the rest of my life.
• My coworkers who I absolutely love to laugh with! They are so awesome!
• Everyone involved with Youth at Kings Way - even most of the kids :)
• Bearcat football
• Green bean casserole - YUM!
• Having a garage in these upcoming cold months
• My adopted niece, Scout
• My newfound love for coffee since working night shift
• Oklahoma
• God's constant love and presence
• Sweet tea
• Antwone
• My bed - it's the most comfortable ever!
• Gloves - need I say more... they keep my constantly cold hands warm and also make it so I don't have to touch nasty things with my bare hands
• Netflix - couldn't work nights without it, I'd be bored out of my mind watching infomercials
• Music, especially Christmas music
• My Chi
• Raspberry margaritas

I have so much more to be thankful for, but these are just a few... I'm so blessed!

Life

Well, I've had a busy, but mostly fun last couple weeks!

Been working... A LOT it seems... which has been frustrating, exciting, joyous, and sad all at the same time. I've been able to take care of some great patients who are so sweet... and some that are not so much. I've been involved right in on the action with 2 code blues. Which were both scary and sad. I was right there, which is really intense. I know I said that in some strange way I want to have my own code... but I'm really not looking forward to it.

Got to hang out with some of my nursing classmates, which was great catching up with them and hanging out drinking and playing games. Went to dinner at Olive Garden with the gals from work. I'm so lucky that I work with such amazing people! They keep me sane on my horrible nights at work. And just last night I went to the DARIUS RUCKER concert with Alli and Rob!! It was a great time with my brother husband and sister wife. :) I love Darius so much! And of course hanging out with my very best friends!
