Ok. So I completely forgotten to update this--even after I promised I would. Nursing school consumes your life just in case you were wondering. So I will update you quickly on my year thus far since the Charleston Trip :)
Take a deep breath. Sit back. Buckle Up. Here we go.
January:
After I got back from Charleston, I worked a whole lot. In the midst of all that working, I was able to take time and experience my first courthouse wedding. On January 24th, my precious friend, Ally, from work married her childhood sweetheart. Since it was both of their second marriage they decided to do it courthouse style with a small reception. It was precious. They both looked so incredibly happy. She sparkled and he was grinning like a school girl the whole day. I was blessed to be able to be apart of it. I was also able to make their wedding cake! We had a reception at Ariella in Russeville, KY. It really was a beautiful day.
February:
During February most of my time was spent working, but I was able to sneak in a couple of breaks with my time off. (I'm becoming excellent at making the most of my days off) Starting with the rodeo. Confession time: I'm an absolute sucker for the rodeo. I haven't missed it in four years. I started asking people if they wanted in December knowing that it wasn't until February. It always falls around Valentine's day in BG. This year I went with a few friends and we had the best seats I have yet to purchase. We were two rows from the bottom and by the gates. We laughed and enjoyed the view of Wrangler's pretty much all night ;)
This Valentine's Day aka Single's Awareness Day--I was single just like all previous V-Day. This is not an "awww, Amy" moment, because I got to spend it with two of my awesome friends. We went out to dinner, ate girly food, creeped on people on the internet, watched a movie, and took absolutely ridiculous quizzes. I wouldn't have picked any other way to spend it
To wrap up February, I spent the weekend at CYC. It's definitely not my favorite convention--not even close--but I did have a lot of fun with my brother and Jessica. We all went as chaperone's. I really do love Alvaton's youth group. They are a quirky group of kids, but they work and they love God and that's all that matters. I really have so much respect for Ryan and Melinda and all the work they do.
March:
I am beyond blessed every day of my life, but I feel like in March I have been especially blessed. I got to see George Strait and Vince Gill in concert, I went on a cruise, I've applied to work AS A NURSE at a couple of hospitals, I finished up a bi-term class(WHICH MEANS ONLY ONE CLASS STANDS BETWEEN ME AND GRADUATION), and the month's not even over yet. I know I am just giving you a taste of what happened in March, but I feel like the concert and the cruise deserve their own post so for now I am going to leave you hanging.
Have a Blessed Day!!
