top of the world

I am officially an RN. Years of work and one stupid 3 hour test later, I have passed and joined the ranks of the Canadian Registered Nurse. No more hours spent worrying about my test results - behind me those minutes lie!

It feels good to be DONE. Now just to find a permanent job, as opposed to this casual business. I'm really blessed in the fact that they pre-book me for shifts, but when I am called 3 times in one day to cancel some of my shifts... it starts to become a little bit more treacherous territory - with a new house, and a wedding, money is not just something thats "kind of" needed these days.

Oh yeah, new house. Just a home inspection this sunday, and we are good to go. Ah, so exciting... now to tell my current landlord.. I'm so not good at confrontation. When it comes to people I love, great at confrontation. But people of so-called "authority" not-so-much. God give me strength. Cute little innocent, soft spoken blonde seems to come out on the cusp of confrontation. Other than that... kind of bitchy, opinionated blonde (still pretty cute though?) seems to come out. In the future, I'm going to try and find a balance between the two.

I honestly feel on top of the world. Fiance, puppy, amazing family and family to be, RN status, new house, new job, wedding in 114 days (totally not counting). What is there not to be thankful for? Well, getting rid of this snow might help as well.. but no one can have that much going for them at once, right? I just stopped today and thought... even though there are some (pardon my french .. btw, kind of hate that saying) really shitty things happening, I have so much in my life that I need to give thanks for. God, or whomever is up there watching over me, is good. Great, really. As I am cleaning my house today, I'll remember that life is good, even though cleaning really sucks. I want a maid, so badly.

I've decided to share another picture I took with this post. Maybe I'll try to keep sharing pictures I've been taking with every post - seeing as how I love it, and maybe it will help me to become better at actually taking some. Who knows, maybe it will actually become a hobby of mine, this whole picture thing, instead of something I love, but don't do very often.

I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle.

then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best"
