Gave birth, finished nursing school and went to the Altar, all in one year

I keep telling myself that I m going to start blogging, tonight, during my break, tomorrow. Finally I have a second to give you a crash course of life during the last year. My last post was in November of 2013. my daughter was 2 months old. Now she's a beautiful, adventurous, sassy little 17 month old whol is going on 16 years old. I Finished nursing school in May 2014, took boards in June, landed my dream job as a labor and delivery nurse in October. And married my prince charming in November 2014. life has been busier than there are minutes in a day. But I wouldn't have it any other way. Excited to get back to the blogging world and relieve some daily stress and share my adventures. Until next time.... Xoxo B

Thankful November, Thankful Challenge day 3

I m two days late for Thankful November! So here it goes.. Everyday for the month if November I will write about what I am thankful for that day. Today I am thankful for my husband. He is the most supportive, caring and loving man. Without him I don't know how i would have survived my first month as a new mommy. He helps me out so much around the house, so that I can get my study on for school, or even if it's just a few minutes for myself he will go above and beyond for his girls and his family. I am blessed to have him in my life. He's an amazing father and husband and I am beyond excited to see what kind of adventures our life as a little family takes us on. Xoxo B

Where to start...

If I fell off my blogger horse before now... I m curious to see how long after this list I will write my next... So here it goes life in a nut shell... I got engaged to the love of my life, my rock, my number one cheerleader on December 23rd 2012... Proposal will be posted soon... Got marred through the court on August 2, 2013 and have set the date for our Big Mexican Catholic wedding for August 2, 2014.... Details soon to come... Planning is in full force and are going full speed with the wedding train! On January 21, our life changed for the best!!! I found out we're pregnant.... I regret not blogging my first pregnancy experience but I will definitely be talking about some highlights later on... On September 13, 2013 after 22 hours of labor, we welcomed our beautiful Baby Girl in this world. Sophia Gabriela Sanchez was born at 12:51am 7lbs 5oz 21.5 in. Till this day i wish I could go back and relive that moment, it was by far the most exciting time in my life. It all happened so fast! My baby will be 6 weeks on Friday and I am dreading going back to work on the 4th. So I am enjoying every last minute. I am currently in my second to the last semester of my nursing program. Up until this semester it has been pretty manageable. I have hit an new level of busy and stress. So hopefully finding time to blog during my 2am feeds will help relieve some stress! I m excited to share my adventures with blogger community and hopefully start following some of you awesome writers out there!!! Xoxo B

So much I want to write!!! I ll be back soon bloggers... xoxo B

The Jouney to Success Continues

Here I am once again. I ll probably fall off again but I am going to make myself a promise to try and blog as much as I can the next 20 months...kinda like a stress reliever. So for the past nine years...literally... I have been working on and off towards becoming a Registered Nurse. After high school I tried the retail world and enjoyed it very much, didnt enjoy the part where my check went right back to my company. I pursued that career for about 6 years. After moving back from San Francisco ( where I went to college) I decided Women studies what I majored in and Working retail was not what I wanted to do the rest of my life. I knew in the back of my head I would become a nurse. Just took me a while getting there. In June of 2009 when the economy hit rock bottom and sales at Nordstrom were horrible, I decided to leave and pursue my career as a Nurse. So where does a girl with no medical experience and 6 years of Retail even begin? I was so lost and had no idea what to do or where to start. I had Anatomy and Physiology done and needed one more prereq to be able to start a program. But no Hospital wanted to hire me with 6 years of Nordstrom Expereince. So what I did next was probably the best move ever!

I decided to become a CNA!


Stay Tuned for my journey as a CNA... :)

Belated Weigh in Wednesday for 05/09

Lately I have been getting a day off in the week which has been pretty nice, because I could use some me time. Last Wednesday I weighed in at 162.4 I had gone back up from the 158. But I didn't feel bad about myself I sucked it up and carried on. I decided to go on a long run. It was amazing and such a nice day out. It was just me and pandora.I ran 7.12 miles... Pictures below to show you... It felt so good to get out there and run. I came home with a nice sunburn. I called them my battle wounds. Until next Wednesday... xoxo B
