First post of the new year!

So many things have changed in one year. My life has taken a completely different path & I'm excited for this new adventure. This time last year I was preparing for a three month trip to Italy; Today, I am preparing to begin nursing school in May.

My days of travel will be postponed for a year while I complete the accelerated BSN program at Bellarmine University. I am, however, hoping to take one last trip in April before nursing school consumes my life. If you know of any cool places I should visit, let me know! I have no idea where I want to go!

Meanwhile, I am a nanny for a sweet ten-month old baby boy. I absolutely love it and the family is awesome!  He will be going to daycare when he turns one though, so I decided to substitute teach until I begin the nursing program. I've considered being a teacher in the past, but decided it's not quite the right career path for me. However, I am super excited to be a sub for a couple of months. I applied with the Bullitt County district & have orientation January 14th. If you're a Bullitt County teacher (elementary or middle) and ever need a sub, I'll be ready come March!

One of my goals for this year is to run the Derby Mini-Marathon in April. I've wanted to run it for years & was actually signed up to run just last year. Unfortunately, I messed up my knee in Italy, so I wasn't able to properly train. However, this is my year! Let me know if you plan on running too!

For anyone who's curious, here's an update on my pup, Egypt:

[We're finally in the home-stretch. She is completely off one medication and only takes the second medication every other day. They'd like to keep her on meds for 8-9 months after the initial diagnosis of ITP. So hopefully by March/April, E will be completely off all medications. There is still a chance she could relapse, but the vet said she is handling the weaning process really well. Egypt's taking it like a champ and is doing amazing!]
