Now what?

I know, guys. I'm absolutely horrible at updating my life on this. But I'm going to try to make a good effort in doing so.

It's hard to believe only one short year ago, I had no idea where my life was going after I just graduated from my nursing degree. I had no idea where I would end up, the people I'd meet, etc.. So much has changed and I've learned a TON of lessons along the way.

Rule #1. Make an effort to keep the good people in your life and ignore the ones who aren't kind. Life is too short to spend time with people who are just going to bring you down.

Rule #2. Always stay positive. Even when times are grim, the sun will always come out tomorrow!

Rule #3. Do things that make you happy. (Same goes for being around people that make you happy)

Rule #4. Do what YOU want to do, even if to others, it makes no sense.

Rule #5. Take risks (within reason). You won't know until you try.

Rule #6. Always, always, always follow God!

I have accomplished lots of things and have learned so much. One big recent thing off my bucket list:

I FINALLY HAVE MY DRIVER'S LICENSE!!!!

Not to mention, a spankin' NEW CAR! ;) Yes friends, I am now the proud owner of a 2013 Kia Soul.

Now that I have that goal achieved, I have made myself a couple lists of short and long-term goals:

6. Grow out my hair pass my shoulders by Christmas
7. Get a job closer to a big city
8. Get a job in an area of nursing that I'm content in
9. Make new friends
10. Take some music theory courses

Long-term Goals:
1. Get married
2. Own a small farmhouse in an acreage on the outskirts of a city
3. Have my own fruit and vegetable garden
4. Go on a missions trip somewhere
5. Visit Israel / rest of Europe
