A Season of New beginnings... :)

Well im sorry for the long absence! I was able to go out of town to chicago which was soo much fun to get to see Peyton and Parker, awww oh how i miss them....i just wish they could live closer, but its always fun getting to go see them! But Ive recently decided to go to Grad school, OH WOW, i seriously never thought i would say that! hahaha, but this last weekend, I was talking with shari (my nursing friend) and we were kind of just talking about slowly leaning that way, and how it would just be awesome to eventually Nurse practitioners, and I think GOd really laid a seed in my heart that night. It was weird cause i knew God was on the verge of doing something in my life, and i really didnt realize it til after i had really thought about going back to school and becoming a nurse practitioner, it just made sense! Im so excited, i know GOd is doing and going to do great things! I dont know if i told you about a guy from work that was just really hounding me (he's a tech) about going back to school, and would always ask me if i REALLY wanted to stay a bedside nurse my entire life.....which at the time, i HAD NO CLUE, you know, im just doing this til that feeling changes you know? but when i was talking to shari, maybe God was just trying to slowly enter this idea into my mind and then when talking to shari, it just confirmed it! wow, i still cant believe it.....there's SO much to do to even be ready for grad school! oh geez...lol but i have a few friends that are getting their masters now so i think i'll ask them too about the GRE and everything...

but as far as food in general, halloween was a little hard, but it was SO much fun to go trick or treating with peyton! i'll put pics up on facebook this week sometime, but yeah, but halloween night which was parkers bday party, so i was able to enjoy some cake and bit of candy, but i think thats normal, i dont think i should deprive myself of that, if i like it, but its all about CONTROL.....lol, which i have to admit sometimes is hard obviously, but i feel like now i have more control and a better idea of what makes me feel good OVERALL not just at the moment....but im looking forward to losing weight through all this, im LOVING all the salads that ive been eating so much texture and flavor! who would have thought?! but im having fun keeping things new and trying new and different things! but im defintely going to have to start saving for grad school! which it wouldnt be a problem paying for it as i go, but i would like some cushion....lol so i CAN have a life for the next 3 years.....lol, so we'll see! anyways, i guess thats all for now! talk soon :)
