hawaiian pizza & fairytale houses

I had a fantastic and a rough weekend at the same time. It can happen, amazingly enough. And when it's rough, it can be over in an instant, like a quick storm. Lots of tears, and lots of hugs, and lots of everything will be alright.

And it will.

I have a week of class left, and then 3 days of finals. All I can do is thank GOD and pray that He helps me to pass my med surg class. For some reason, I am having a really hard time in there, teetering on the edge of failure and passing. My professor seems confident, but it is terrifying to me that I could fail. After finals, I have a couple of weeks until my internship starts. I will absolutely relish in the time that I have off to do absolutely nothing! However, I do have two classes that I have to take this summer. Spanish II and Public Speaking. Two classes I am not thrilled to be taking. However, it will be time I need away from the stress of nursing school and to focus on my relationships and God and taking in life and being appreciative rather than complaining of burnout.



I am working hard to be thankful.

I am so thankful for my boyfriend, who sees me through my darkest times, and I'm thankful for my friends and family, and I'm thankful for support. I really want to eat a hawaiian pizza with Nathan and look at our dream houses (cabins in Sautee) and relax and listen to him play guitar and hum and sing me songs about our coffee shop and hold hands and just be. That's my favorite.

It's super windy outside right now, and I love it! I just want to be out there in the midst of it and just take it in, but it'd look really odd for me to be out in the middle of the parking lot just chilling in the wind. Also probably not very safe. So instead, I'm blogging and looking at houses for when I get married someday and eating peanuts because there's nothing else in the house. Where's that hawaiian pizza?

I just want life to be easy. I know, life isn't easy. I know that all too well. But sometimes it can be a lot easier than others. I truly think (and I'm praying) that this Summer will be at least a little break. I'll learn a lot during my internship, and get paid, and save money for things to come, and spend more time with the people I love, and prepare for another brutal semester of nursing school. My last semester of nursing school. It's funny and scary to think and say that. I will be a senior in a week and a half. I will soon have a career (if God sees fit for me to pass). I am so excited to start my life!

I saw this in Twitter earlier today, and it fit my day so perfect that I cried. Literally:

I HAVE to get back to church. I have no excuse. I am too lazy to get up and go. It's terrible. When Nathan finishes his music playing in Gainesville we are going to find a church to go to together. Him saying that is one of the most important, romantic things I've ever heard. It didn't hit me until just now, but that's a big deal. I want to grow spiritually with him, especially if he is to be my husband one day (which I want very, very much!). To be with your best friend is amazing; to know that he is a wonderful man is even better. I am truly blessed.

Our usual at Sweetwater: Iced chai tea and coffee that Nathan stirs with a noodle stick... and then eats it.

Handsome Nathan playing guitar and mancala :) This was like a month ago, but I love it.

Beautiful in Sautee!

And this is why my boyfriend is SO cool! He shaves like an old man :)

I need to take more pictures. That will come soon too.

Sleep tight and night nights!
