20 Months Old!

It’s been a long time since I’ve posted and I have a lot to write about, but it is going to have to wait. School is killer right now and I’ve been spending as much time with the family as I can.

Amen, Tina Fey!!

While at Borders this past weekend, I saw that Tina Fey has a new book out. I didn’t think much of it other than it being ANOTHER celebrity attempting to cash in on writing their own “memoir”. However, after reading the excerpt below, I am really rethinking my previous opinion. If the below is any [...]

Feelin’ hot, hot, hot!

Today was HOT. I check the outdoor temperature around 10AM and it was already reading 91! Reagan decided that 6:45AM was an acceptable time to wake up on a Saturday morning so we spent the better part of the morning doing chores around the house. Ash was in Nashville doing a bike race, so I [...]

Music Monday: Spring Break

I’m on my spring break right now and let me tell you, it couldn’t have come fast enough. School was starting to take its toll on me and I was ready for a break. We’re not doing anything too crazy this week, although my 30th birthday is tomorrow. We celebrated this weekend and I will [...]

Spring Break…here I come!

Vandy’s spring break is next week. If we were independently wealthy we would be going somewhere exotic and sunny. Some place like this: So that I could use some of this: And drink some of this: But instead I will be staying here: Doing a little of this to the guest bathroom: lots of this [...]

A year ago today.

It’s amazing how fast time goes by. THEN: Just learning to sit up on her own. No hair. 4 teeth. 15lbs. 25 inches long. Wearing 3-6 month clothing. 5 bottles a day. Sleeping 10 hours a night. NOW: Barely able to keep up with her. Loves to run, crawl on the couches, chase after the [...]

Music Monday: The Oscars

I usually enjoy watching the Oscar’s but with my schedule the past week, I was unable to give it my full attention. A paper, exam and two care plans due in the next five days. YIKES! BUT, next week is spring break, so at least there is some light at the end of the tunnel. [...]

Music Monday: Get Moving!

Good morning! Another Monday is here. I can’t believe that it is almost Monday. I re-started by Couch-2-5K last week and I can honestly say that I’ve missed it. I realized that when I started it in December, I picked a really bad time, with finals right around the corner and Christmas vacation. We have [...]

Here’s your sign…..

Over the past few months, I’ve mentioned that I am thinking of changing my specialty from pediatrics to acute care. I’ve had a lot of questions as to whether this was the right decision for me. Ever since I was a little girl, I’ve wanted to be a “baby doctor”. Changing from pediatrics to acute [...]

Hi! My name is Erin and welcome to my little slice of the internet. I'm a 29 year old OIF veteran, lover of Patriot football, Zumba addict and full time student. I started this blog to keep my friends and family informed on our growing family. My husband is on active duty and the Army has us stationed far away from our families.

In August 2010 I began my graduate studies at Vanderbilt University. I am studying to become a Pediatric Nurse Practitioner and plan on graduating in August 2012. It has proven to be a tough exercise in time management and balance, but anything worth it requires hard work!!

Thanks for stopping by!
