A life of Jewels: Happy rather than Sad

Happy rather than Sad

I would rather focus on the happy stuff going on in my life right now instead of the negative. I haven't blogged in a long time because of everything that went down with the last blog I posted. Geeze that was so ridiculous! If you don't know then don't worry, I deleted most of it. So I would like to move on and start blogging again.
I had a fantastic summer. One of the best on record. I had the opportunity to grow in so many areas. Not all of my experiences were happy and positive but I still grew SO much from having gone through them. I was a Doula at the beginning of the summer and then had the chance to work with Stephanie as her student midwife. I learned so much from her and I am so thankful that things fell together the way they did. I also took a five week summer course on Psychiatrics (came in handy for the next series of events with my family). I loved learning about the different disorders and ways to understand them. Like I said it has come in handy! I also met and began dating someone new. Shocker I know :) We met in May through Meagan and Roy but did not really start dating until a month ago. I have to say, it has been fantastic! I have been so extremely happy with him that it has made life's trials and hardships very bearable. He overshadows them with giddyness, positivity, hope, and dare I say..... Love :) I look forward to being with him all the time. Nursing school, my first true love, has become the vain of my existence for the simple fact that it keeps me from spending all my free time with him. It is so much harder to focus on reading and studying now.
We were able to go to Bisbee Arizona for the labor-day weekend and I loved every minute of it! That town is such a blast! I never would have expected it to be that entertaining. It was SO romantic!! Gosh, I swoon just thinking about it :)
