Everyday brings a chance for you to draw in a breath, kick off your shoes and dance!

Emerson once said, "Insist on yourself; never imitate...every man is unique." I hope to be that way in every breath that I breathe, in every song that I sing, and every dance that I dance... My dance has taken me on quite the journey over the years! Right now I am living in Terrace, BC with my best friend and husband Matt and my little sister Heather... we're better together... I work at the hospital as a RN and am working toward my nursing specialty certificate in Critical Care... a journey for sure!

only...

19 more sleeps until I get the keys!!!


So its been almost 10 days since I last posted... and now in only 19 sleeps I get the keys to my new house!!! I can hardly wait - but I am working crazy hours so that I can buy furniture to fill my house... so you all can come and have a place to sit and visit and yes... have many many parties!!!
So that leaves me to work tomorrow morning... super sorry to Henny and Tams - I was going to come and help out where I could with your moving! I will stop over as soon as I am finished at work - just in case you need more help!! AND -I will update again on life on my next night shift! Ciao for now mis amigos!

It's mine!!

It is with great excitement that I report to the blogerland world that I got the house!!! The financing came through just before I headed in for an overtime shift!! yahoo!!! Ok, so I am just a little teensy bit excited! Can't wait to post pictures - can't wait to have you all over!!!

So yes, working overtime right now... was looking forward to having the night off... but I am a sucker for the OT - and I really don't like leaving the people short-staffed! Just two nights ago, I showed up to a super short-staffed situation - and I had to be in charge! It was crazy! Every department was short of RN's... so I had to bite the bullet and take charge of the floor! Good times... ha ha ha

Hmm... what else is happening in life...???

Oh - I guess I haven't reported in a while about my love life... still going strong with the big man - although the amount of time spent together is somewhat lacking - I do wish I could have more time... I really love when I am at work and I hear him whisper some random thing or another... its good to know that I have him... smiles

It is super late right now, and yes, I am tired! I think I might actually sleep on my break tonight cuz this night is going by sooo slowly!!! Miss you all - hope you are all coming to the wedding shower for Devin and Moneca on Friday night!!!!

a good one...

It has been a while since I have posted a good post. Really it is mostly due to my laziness - yes it is true! I have so much going on - and yet have no idea where to begin!!
Let's start with right now - working overtime! Yesss!!! I am hoping and praying to be a workaholic for the next month and a half... why you wonder - because I am buying a house!!
I put in an offer on Friday - and after a few counter offers back and forth - we settled! Now, we have to go through the contract and remove all of the subject to's... ie: subject to financing, subject to buyer (thats me!) obtaining satisfactory insurance, subject to satisfactory inspection... those kind of things!! I dont' really have any concerns though - so *squeals* I am super excited about that!
My closing date is September 17... so I have to work work work so that I have all of my downpayment, then I also am going to need absolutely everything to fill the house up - kitchen wares, furnitures, lawn care... all the joyous things that fill a house and make it a home!
I am thinking that I won't move in right away (I will be housesitting for my old preceptor anyway) but that I will do some painting first... the kitchen is perfect! I want to paint the bathroom, the master bedroom and who knows what else yet! I just figure that it would make the most sense to paint before the furniture arrives! Painting party anyone????
Ok - so that is my biggest, hugest news!! Next up, white water rafting on Tuesday - woot woot!!! Super excited about that - I love the sense of adventure that it instills in me... I love the wide open world that is before me... yahoo - rapids here I come!!
Also on the go right now... planning a shower for Devin and Moneca - it will be a joint shower, guys and girls all mixed in together - August 24th @7pm(kind of last minute but I couldn't let the girl go without a shower!!) If you are interested in coming let me know and I will fill you in on details!! Let's bless the socks off this couple!!
So now, that this has become quite a rather lengthy post, I am sure you are wondering - at work????? Yes, I am at work - don't worry, on a break!! Patient load is good, not too heavy - cant complain... actually I love my job!

home and back...

so not a lot of time (what else is new!) to update you all's on my adventures... but I am home from the Charlotte's - yes still alive to tell the stories!! - and I am back to work right off!!! Right now just waiting for laundry... then need to catch some zzzz's before work... but oh - so many stories to tell!!! I will touch base with you all in blogland soon... even post pictures!!!
This just in... Starla asked me to be a part of her labour team! Truly I am honoured Starla, that you would consider me and invite me to be a part of Lily's arrival into this beautiful world... can't wait!!!
OH - one more thing... White Water Rafting trip planned for August 14 (tues) - anyone want in??

my bag is packed...

and I am ready to go??

In just a few short hours I will be finished my last night shift of this set... why is that important you may ask? It means that in just a few short hours, my outdoor adventure to the Queen Charlottes with my gum girl will commence!
We have spent the last week or so planning this trip - for her birthday - to the Charlotte's... we are taking our bikes, our backpacks and a tent over on the 11am ferry and trucking (ok biking) around the island for 4 days... we will be back the night before our next set starts...
I am not really sure what to expect... and I am not really sure that I am as prepared as I should be - but meh! It is our outdoor adventure!!
We are planning on hiking up to Yakoun Lake, basking on the beaches, checking out the half-carved canoe, the fallen Great Golden Spruce (or whatever kind of tree!), the old shipwreck, and the balancing rock! Its gonna be full of fun - freedom - and fresh air!
So... if you dont see me around for the next few days... nothing to worry - I will be over the waters... and returning on Monday evening.... enjoying (hopefully) some much needed time off!!
