try, try again...

i did it!! i put my nursing application in once again! so the hurry up and wait is here again. i will not know till the end of october if i made it in this time. patients once again.

school is going good. i am really enjoying my algebra class. who knew!! chemistry is another story. the professor is really out there. but i will make it through!

this is such a strange time for me. i feel like i am getting further and further away from getting into nursing. this is the first time since i went back to school that i am not in classes for the nursing program. i have been surrounded by other students wanting to be nurses or in other allied health care fields. it is so hard to keep my focus. i am still feeling a little lost and confused.

i have found comfort in God's word. i was having bouts of insomnia for the first time in my life. i am usually out in minutes of laying down so i find it unsettling to lay down and my head just won't stop. here are some verses that have really made a huge difference in my nights.

psalm 32:8 i will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go. i will counsel you and watch over you.

psalm 25:4 show me your paths and teach me to follow.

psalm 25:2 in you i trust, o my God. do not let me be put to shame, nor let my enemies triumph over me.

psalm 37:5 open up before God, keep nothing back, he'll do what ever needs to be done.

psalm 4:8 i will lie down and sheep in peace, for you alone, o Lord, make me dwell in safety.

psalm 5:3 each morning i will look to you in heaven and lay my requests before you, praying earnestly.

i pray God's will be done!!!

Mother daughter day...

Today Taylor had her first pedicure. She thought it was so much fun. Of course she has very ticklish feet so she cracked up half the time. Taylor has been wanting to do this for a long time, thank you Jazlyn and Jackie for the idea. The boys are doing VBS in the mornings and she did not have golf camp so we seized the day!! Now she is hooked.

Taylor got cute flowers with jems on her toes. Now we are ready for a day at the beach to show off our cute piggies.

The Bridal Shower

My oldest nephew is getting married in September to Megan. Megan's bridal shower was last Saturday. Kyle is in the Air Force and they are going to Alaska!! I know they are both excited and nervous. It will be a great adventure for 2 Floridians. Ryan is so excited to be the ring barrier.

Kim made these cute clothes pins for one of the games.


A couple of years ago I started making cookie bouquets. I really enjoy making them it gets my creative juices flowing. I am always surprised when they come out so cute.
