Rants, Recipes, and Running

It's a little crazy around our house right now. Okay, so it's really crazy. Thinking about these next 2 weeks gives me a little bit of an ulcer. But, it's exciting too!

It was a great weekend. :-) I will not be blogging much for the next couple weeks or so, most likely? Started my new job this week! It's going.... overwhelming & crazy well. :) I feel like my head is going to explode so happy to be learning so much and using my nursing skills! Finally !!!! This leaving the hou...
