10 Secrets

I'm going to try this. First off is 10 secrets. :)


-One- 
I often wonder if I'm making right decisions...I second-guess myself every time I make a decision. Ugh.


-Two- 
I hate being confrontational-HATE IT. I do not do well in situations where I have to be confrontational.


-Three-
My biggest dream is to have my BSN(Bachelor's of Science in Nursing) and work as a RN in the nursery department at a hospital.


-Four- 
I want to move out of the town I live in and move to Omaha, NE by Janaury 1, 2012...

-Five-
I cannot wait to have babies, even though I know it's probably at least 3-5 years away.


-Six-
I don't speak my mind like I should--most of the time my thoughts are kept to myself.


-Seven- 
Ice cream & Sunkist are my addictions. Ask any of my friends. :)


-Eight-
I consider my mom one of my closest friends. Even though I only get to talk to her once or twice a week and she lives 2,000 miles away from me.


-Nine-
My best friend's family feels more like my family than my own family does most of the time. Same thing with my boyfriend's family.


-Ten- 
I feel that my life is boring and I am not content with where I am at--I want to better my life and myself and my experiences. 

Venting time.

Forewarning : This post is all me venting about the stress in my life. That being said...

- I need a new mirror on my car. Not sure how much it is going to cost. Not really sure if I have $ to fix it either-seeing as how I'm going to Vegas this summer. Sigh.

-School. I HATE not knowing if I'm going to be able to do school this summer or not. Sooo frustrating. And it's getting down to the end too--classes start May 24, and I don't know if I'm going to get my grant or not. Arg.

-Work. All I do is work anymore. I'm soooo tired of working. But yet, I continue to say yes to more shifts or coming in early. Ahh! But, must have money to go to Vegas. 

But alas, I know that God is good, and that He has everything worked out already. I just get a little impatient sometimes. :/ 

Day 2, 3, 4 =]

Well, I'm kind of failing so far at this, haha... but things have been busy!

Day 2 -- A person I've been close with for awhile

This is my best friend. We've been through thick and thin together...she's somebody I always go to when I need to talk. She's a great listener. We've been friends for 11 years..since we were 10 years old. She's more like my sister than my best friend.

Day 3 - A picture of the cast from your favorite TV show.

I was never a huge fan of this show until this year--now I LOVE LOVE LOVE it. It's the one thing I really look forward to on my days off...and the best part is my boyfriend loves it too and watches it with me! =]

Day 4 - A picture of a habit you wish you didn't have

Biting my nails is such an awful habit--I would love to be able to have pretty nails and wear them to work without getting fake ones... but I can't :(

Thanks for reading.. I hope you are enjoying getting to know me a little bit better!

30 day Photo Challenge...

okay. I'm going to attempt this 30 day photo challenge thing. it's been super popular on facebook... so now i'm going to put my own spin on it! =]

Day 1- 15 facts about me

1. I am the youngest of 5 children. I actually have a nephew who is only 3 1/2 years younger than me!
2. I LOVE country music. That is probably an understatement, really. Country is the one type of music I can really listen to with any type of mood I am in.

8. I'm going to Vegas in August with one of my best friends and her parents--can't wait!
9. I have a job that most days, I adore. It actually helped me realize what I want to do with the rest of my life--become a nurse. :)
10. I looooove flowers. Especially roses and gerber daisies. 
11. I despise scary movies. I can hardly watch them..but my roommate and boyfriend love them. urg.
12. Right now, I live in a smaller town, but eventually, I think I want to move to a subarb of a city, where it doesn't take 2 hours to get to a real mall.
13. Ice cream is my comfort food. haha.
14. Running is my coping skill after a bad day.
15. I love to laugh!


Hope you have enjoyed this and getting to know me a little better! I will try to keep doing this every day but I can't promise...but will do the best I can!

Life..

Well.. it's been quite some time since I last posted.

Not much new here. Besides... I decided to take some time off from school, to save money and such.

God has now made it clear that this fall(hopefully), I will be going back to school to become a nurse. I'm so excited about it! I can't wait!

I'm sorry if you read this blog.. and it's boring. I have a pretty boring life. I go to work and come home. Not much fun at all...

But then again, I'm only 21, and have no kids, so what do you expect?

If you read this blog... please comment and tell me what you write about if you don't have kids--I really would like to hear your ideas! :)

Show Us Your Life - What Is Your Typical Day Like?

Well first off, this is only my second blog post :) hehe. and if anyone could tell me how to get a FREE layout and a new color of font--that would be AWESOME. :) thanks!

My daily life consists of school and work.

9-10:30am - Wake up. Depending on the day, it's either off to school or work on homework. If I go to school, I arrive about 11:00 and review before class at 11:15 from 12:35. Then I either go get lunch, or come home and cook. Then I either watch tv, check e-mail or study a little bit.

2:30-2:45pm - Finish getting ready for work, usually go to the gas station to get a pop, gum and a snack :)

3:00pm - Start work. I LOVE my job. I work with individuals who have disabilities -- it is so rewarding! I wouldn't have it any other way. I wish I could work maybe 7-3 but otherwise no complaints!

11:00pm - Get off work. Depending on the day, I either come home and finish what homework I don't have done, go over to a friend's, or go to bed.

I don't really have an exciting day, nor too busy, but it keeps me busy enough so I have no boredom.

Like I said, I love my job, it's pretty much awesome. I wouldn't trade it for anything! :-)

And there we go, the typical life of Dawn ;)

Football Saturday :)

Today is Saturday.

I generally do one thing on Saturday's...watch football. Today is also my good friend Emilee's wedding. I was going to go, but there are a couple things which make it so I can't really go..sadly.

But...the Iowa Hawkeyes are now 7 AND 0!!! Which is totally awesome. :) My Huskers are playing today too...hopefully they win!!

Obviously, I'm a football fan...as you can tell. I will watch just about any game that is on :)

Quite honestly...I'm just a sports fan..period. Football, basketball, baseball..love it all. :-)

Hope everyone is having a GREAT Saturday and if you are watching football, hope your teams win!! :) Unless however, you are a Texas Tech fan....since you are playing Nebraska! ;)
