Lucky Me

I'm blogging- it's been awhile- I know, shame on me. But just like everyone else in Connecticut I'm hunkered down glued to the weather channel (at Chris & Aly's). School was cancelled, work was cancelled. But because I haven't blogged you don't know that I'm totally- 100%- abso-tively okay with with this weather. After a very busy few weeks it feels good to have zippo on the agenda- and because I know "Sandy" won't last forever I'm savoring every minute of it. 
Since the last time we've talked so much has happened. Skinner Ranch Rodeo has come and gone. Fall is winding down in preparation for winter. Work has been crazy busy which is nothing new and nursing school has officially taken over my social life hence the lack of things to blog about. 
It's really ok though- because last week made up for every short coming that has ever been thrown my way (well maybe not everything) but I'm serious lately I've been feeling like the luckiest girl in the world and heres why--- 
It all started last Monday when I aced my big nursing exam. Then, Wednesday Daddy-O surprised me with a brand spankin' new 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee- yes, you read that correctly. And to be exact, he actually brought me to the dealership and told me to pick out the one that I wanted- holy moly- it's fancy- lucky lucky me. Then, if that wasn't enough excitement, Friday I got a 100% on another nursing exam. Wowie, what a week- is this really my life?!
& some snapshots of my October.
