My first blog

I have gotten on the blog bandwagon! This blog is going to be about what all is going on in my life. I am a nurse on a mommy and baby unit. And i absolutely love it. I knew i wanted to be a nurse my whole life. When i was 16 i started working in a nursing home passing ice water and making beds. I loved all the relationships with the residents. After high school i became a certified nurses aide and continued on to nursing school. Nursing school was one of the hardest things i have ever done in my life. But I am so glad that i made it. After nursing school i worked on a med-surg unit for 18 months and then went over to take care of new moms and their sassy but oh so adorable newborn.

I adopted a black lab mix named Chloe Grace almost 3 years ago. She provides me with endless entertainment. I had to give her a middle name so she would really know when she is in trouble.. When i am yelling at her it is more effective when i use all 3 of her names.

I started training for my first 5k ever last week. I am using Couch to 5K podcast on my ipod. So far it is going good. Today i start week 2. A little nervous about it. For those of you who know me know i am not a runner. I am not sure if i can even run 1/4 of a mile at this point. But i am going to try it. I have also been going to the gym quite a bit and it has been so fun. This week i have been to bodycombat, bodypump and tonight i am going to pilates along with running and walking every other day.
