I truly am Blessed

The past seven days have flown by, especially since Thursday. Thursday was my first Clinical experience and I enjoyed the opportunity to get to know the person I was assigned to.  They were just a delightful person who loved and gloated about what a wonderful family they had.  It was nice to hear someone talk about their family in such a postive way and made me even more excited about all the company that was coming through town this weekend.
This weekend our house became the local Holiday Inn! My dad and stepmom passed through on Thursday night and in just enough time to strip, wash and remake make the beds, my mom, stepdad and my fiance parents arrived  at our door a few hours later on  Friday afternoon. We hosted an FSU Football get together with the family and some friends on Saturday and then I had a mom and daughter date today; needless to say it has been nonstop . 
Five pounds heavier from all the food that was cooked and eaten,
the wedding dress purchase checked-off my to do list (Yes, We Found the ONE on Saturday) and lots of laughs and memories made, I sit here reflecting on my clinical experience and have come to one conclusion...I am truly blessed.
I just hope during the next two years as we continue to make our way from a student nurse to the real thing, we don't forget to make memories, laugh and sit back and remember what really is going to matter at the end of our life.... however, it's time for me to focus on the upcoming Midterm...I wish everyone the best of luck on Wednesday!
