RIP Dr. Detweiler

As you may know, my neurosurgeon committed suicide in November of 2011. What compelled him to do such a thing, I'll never know but it makes me sad. This man literally saved my life. He took a young, terrified girl's fragile life and gave her a second chance to live. And for that I'll be forever grateful. Thank you for saving my life and allowing me to see the beauty in people and things. It's because of this man's skill I am still here. RIP, Dr. Karl Detweiler.

Hello to you :).

I've been a busy bee. Work and school. Work and school. Wash, rinse, repeat.

I'm adoring vintage valentine's right now. They are so cute!

Life is absolutely wonderful. School is going fantastic and it's hard to believe the first semester of nursing school is almost over :).

Don't worry, be happy now.

I am crappy at blogging. Crappy. But I'm happy and stuff so everything is all good. What makes me happy? Knowing that I'm living my life the way I want to and knowing I'm going to achieve good. "If you work hard and you are kind, amazing things will happen."- Conan O'Brien

Something else that makes me happy? Cupcakes. Especially pretty pink ones with glittery sprinkles.

Nom nom nom.

I hardly have people that I needed to know 'cause you're the people that I wanted to know.

Bye bye, Honors Program. Thanks for the memories.

A weekend in pictures.

This weekend kind of started off rough and even ended kind of rough but I can't imagine a better group of people to spend the rough times with.

what if.

I've been having a rough time lately for reasons that I will not share. I've been working on making myself feel better. I've been keeping myself occupied, eating healthier, etc. etc, to keep my mind off things. My favorite musical artist is a sister duo called "Meg & Dia". I seriously can listen to just them for days on end. Today I have had this song, "What If",  on repeat because it really speaks to me at the moment. You can check it out for yourself below:

I also drew a picture to go with the song at work today.:

Sometimes you just need a reminder.

Jamie meets Brace Face and survives :)

Fact: I have braces (They're clear !!!) :D

Fact: I have a best friend, Jamie.

This is what happens when aerial Jamie collides into my metal mouth.

Sorry, girl ! I love you even though my braces sure don't !

Happy Tuesday, everyone ! I'm going to get to work.
