Something kind of cool happened today. I was working in the newborn nursery, and there were a whole lot of babies in there. I didn’t have much to do right away, so I chose a baby that wasn’t getting any direct attention at the moment and I picked her up to calm her down because she was crying a little bit. Eventually the nurse and I began to assess her, and that’s when we realized that she was a VIP baby. She was adorable, and I took care of her all morning. (If you haven’t figured it out yet, you need to click the link to see whose baby it was I took care of. I just feel weird about…

I know I haven’t been updating as regularly lately, and I do regret that. Because other than using this website to stay connected to friends and family, make new friends, hopefully entertain someone who reads it, and have a place to express myself, I also want this website to contain a record of these years of my life.

The other day I showed up to my indoor soccer game and was waiting for the previous game to end. A few minutes before the game my dad showed up, gave me a hug, and sat down by me.

What is it that my dad so desperately wanted from her? A book. Courtney works for the…

So I heard on the radio the other day about this guy who ran 63 marathons in 63 days to raise awareness for a rare childhood disease. My first thought was, “That is insane.” My second thought was, “This makes my training for the Texas Independence Relay look so weak.” But then my next thought was, “That is insane.” And I feel perfectly fine about my running aspirations.

So I’ve been out of town the past three weekends, and this past week I was house-sitting for half the week. In the meantime life went on, including work and school, and all of it put together left me quite frazzled. No more, my friends! I am back home and settled. Here are the things that I am most excited about right now, approximately in order: 1. Being able to spend more time with my wonderful boyfriend. 2. Getting to see my family and my boyfriend’s family regularly again. 3. Spending more time with my dog Cleo and taking care of her again. 4. The full apartment deep clean that my roommate Amanda and I did yesterday. 5. The $100…
