Let me begin by telling you my not so good news.
I did not get into nursing school at my current school and first choice school. It is very competitive and being a transfer gave me a VERY slim chance of getting in. I was disappointed at first but now I am really just a little stressed about my future. Where am I suppost to go and do?
Being the laid back person that I am has helped me to just go with the flow and pray that it all works out. I have been on an emotional rollercoaster for weeks and I am truly just ready for summer!
Tonight was senior night for the social tribe I am a member of at school. A social tribe is like a sorority, only better. It is a group of sisters that really just serve and love the Lord the best we can. I have learned so much in less than a year from "my sisters" than I did in 18 years of being at home.
Anyways, it was amazing and reminded me how much I love my christian school, and the tribe. I am always encouraged everytime I go to a meeting. I feel so much better when I leave because of the decotion of learning about Jesus and the love I feel from girls I barely know.
Our tribe poem is I Made Her Because I Love Her. It is a beautiful reminder for any daughter of God!
It was read tonight because when you get accepted into the tribe it is read over you by the president and tonight was senior night so it was read over the graduating seniors tonight.
I am so thankful for the constant encouragment and love i feel because of so many true women of Christ. I pray that one day I will be half of what my sisters in Christ are!

It's been...
one of those days. The one's that make you wonder about the future. The one's that you can barely keep the tears in for a class period. The one's when you call your mom to talk and just end up crying for 45 minutes. I hardley ever have these days but the past few weeks have been hard and I am glad that I finally got some relief today and let a lot out.
I am so thankful for my amazing life. I have a close family, money, food, shelter, I am so blessed. But, I still have those days every so often.
After the phone call to my mom, crying for 45 minutes to a friend, running, and eating two much chocolate, I am feeling a lot better!
Yesterday I suprised my ex-boyfriend and we drove to a hockey game 3.5 hours away in Louisianna. The game was crazy and our team from home lost but it was still a fun adventure. The drive back was long and I was exhausted! We finally made it back to school at about 1:30 A.M. I am the kind of girl that needs atleast 9 hours of sleep to not be a monster the next day. I got a little less than 7. NOT GOOD. I made it through my first class, went to an easter egg hunt, had lunch, went to another class and then another. I was exhausted and so hungry by 2:45. The past few weeks I have had drama with my boyfriend/ex-boyfriend/friend and some of our family menbers and that came up again today. It was the reason for my meltdown and I am just glad it is over.
I want to enjoy the Easter holiday with my loved ones and remember what we are celebrating. Jesus died for us because he loved us. We are to love because He first loved us. He died willingly for you and I and I know that I fail Him every single day but for at least this weekend, I just want to focus on his life, death, resurrection. So I will be forgetting about all of my problems and difficulties over the next few days and focus on thanking and worshipping my King.
I hope that you all so the same and have a blessed day and weekend!

TGIF!
It's finally Friday!
Thank God this week is over.
I had 3 major tests and other assignments due. I'm just glad it flew by and now I can relax at home with my family.
Last weekend was a good one filled with running and perfect weather around Memphis. Saturday morning I woke up dark and early at 5 AM to volunteer at a Dirty Girl 5k. I worked for 5 hours, got a bib and two shirts for free. It was a great expierience. A lot of women wore costumes and had a muddy good time. The course had about 10-12 obstacles that required climbing over things and sliding into mud. Everyone was very entergetic and loved this run.
After volunteering and running, I came home, got ready and headed downtown to the Mudbugs Festival at a small park. The weather couldn't have been better. I don't eat crawfish but I love BBQ. I loved just relaxing outside listening to the bands. It was a very good Saturday.
Sunday was filled with church, and driving 3 hours back to school.
Then the week began and I was so busy studying that it FLEW by. It seems like I haven't even left home.
OH, on Monday there was an awful hail storm at school. The boy and I were standing outside talking and it looked bad outside but we just thought it was about to rain. Well, all of a sudden people start running everywhere and huge, baseball size hail starts pouring down. We frantically ran inside and as soon as we did the power went off. It was so scary. I couldn't send out texts or call anyone for a good half an hour. Thankfully, my car only has several dents compared to hundreds of cars on campus that have busted out windshields! It was definently an evenful week for me! I loved it!

Finally
I am writing a blog post. I have wanted to do this for so long but never got around to it until now! I am so excited to share stories of my personal life, fitness life, school life and whatever else with you. I am not a particularly good writer but lets just pretend I am.
I have been reading blogs everyday for a while now and wanted to join the club so here I go. I hope you enjoy my disfunctional, random life as much as I do!
As you probably observed from the title of this blog, I am a runner(wanna-be) and I am trying to be an RN if I make it through school! I go to a small christian university and love everything about it besides being three hours away from my home and all of my family. You will learn to love my family while reading my blog. They are controlling but amazing and selfless at the same time. My mom is my best friend and I have one special boy in my life, Michael. Also, I love Jesus and try to serve Him in all that I do.
I think that is all you need to know for now!
