May 3, 2013 was one of the best days of my life. The whole weekend was one of the best weekends, in fact. It was right up there with the weekend that Louie and I got married. See, I can now officially call myself a graduate of the University of Nebraska at Kearney! The weekend was … Continue reading »
I’m really proud to say that I graduated from UNK on May 3. What a weekend–more on this soon! And so…now what? My biggest fear as graduation approached was that I would lose momentum and never start the licensure process, thus never accomplishing my professional goals. However, I don’t think that’s going to happen–I have … Continue reading »
Things got a little backed up this week, so I didn’t get to put up either of the posts that went out this week. The good news: This was due to finishing some big projects at work as well as finishing up for school. Oh yeah, and graduation is in 5 days!! First up, last … Continue reading »

I try to observe everything around me–nature is always changing, and I … Continue reading »

The convention center slumbered across the street, ready and waiting for the 2013 ACA conference to begin! Here’s a little recap of the past three days. It was a whirlwind, but I’m already figuring out how … Continue reading »

It’s a huge conference so I have no idea what to expect, but here a few things I do know. First, I applied for … Continue reading »
Remember this? Well, 30 days has come and gone. And Louie and I are still alive to tell about it. In fact, we’re doing better than ever! We embarked on the Whole 30 on February 13, meaning we finished on March 14, and the final results are generally positive. Obviously, it wasn’t the pure magic the … Continue reading »
