What's New?

It's been a very long time since I have written a blog post and I wasn't happy with my blog name. So I changed it (again) to a name that kinda reflects where I am right now.

Nursing: Well, I'm a Registered Nurse and I may share somethings about that.
Gardening: I am an old soul, hence my nickname:Grandma. And I LOVE gardening; flowers, veggies, fruits, herbs, all of them! I may share about what I'm gardening.
Riley: I bought a little Christmas puppy named Riley! She is a pure bred Yellow Labrador Retriever and she is naughty!
Wine: I love to drink wine and I may do some whining every now and then on here!

So what's new in my life? Well I am still working on 7 North at St. Joe's and I have good days and crazy days. I'm always learning new stuff every day and don't know how I would stop learning at my job. Every situation is different. Which makes my job NOT boring.

My parents instilled in me that money does not grow on trees and I shouldn't be handed everything. Anything I own I have pretty much saved up for and bought. They have helped, of course, but I was not just given everything just because it's the trend or everyone else has it. Why do I say this? Because since I started working in June, I have saved a pretty penny and I am now seriously house hunting!!! It's exciting that soon Riley and I may have a home of our own!

Riley! She was born on November 11, 2014 and I got her from Arrowcreek Retrievers in Hammond, WI. It was a snowy/crappy day on December 21st when my mom and I drove the 7 hours round trip to bring home my Riley baby. She's learning, but she still has a long way to go before she is a "good" dog. She is all puppy. Copper isn't too thrilled with her, but they love to play tug-of-war with their toys. Riley is bigger than Copper now and she's always jumping over her. Copper is awaiting the day Riley moves out, I'm sure.

I'm proud to say that I binge-watched Gilmore Girls this winter from the Pilot to the Finale. I will do it again, I'm sure. I am not ashamed.

I'm looking forward to this summer, a new house (I hope), getting to play in the dirt, taking Riley swimming and whatever else this summer may bring!
