Hey everyone,

It has definitely been a good while since I last wrote a journal on here. I've just been so busy lately that I haven't had the time to sit down and actually type anything up.

I am about to finish my first semester of college at my local community college, and I have already signed up for next semester's classes. I am working towards my nursing degree, thank God that my community college has a nursing program, or else I'd have to transfer. ^_^ This semester has had it's challenges, just I am sure this next semester will have it's challenges as well. Though, it truly is all worth it, because I cannot wait until I finally have my nursing degree.

My boyfriend, Chris, and I are about to hit our 8th month of being together this next month on the 4th. I'd have to say that this man is very amazing. He has definitely helped me out so much. I find myself actually careing more about myself, trying to be more optimistic, and not giving up. One thing that truly helps is the fact that he has promised me that he will stick by my side through college and always be there to support me. I'm positive that this is the man that I am going to marry once I am done with college. He's amazing and we work so well together. If you don't believe me, ask my friends Mat and Amanda, (better know as ~StarDragger on here). ^_^

My parents aren't doing to bad these days. My mom is still really sick, and about two weeks ago my dad pulled a muscle in his back and then repulled it two more times. So needless to say he is in a lot of pain, but he is getting better. Hopefully within the next couple of weeks his back will heal and he'll be able to start exercising again.

All in all my life does have it's crazy and hectic times, but it also has it's amazing and relaxing times. My life is definitely worth living, though sometimes it doesn't always feel that way. I wouldn't change my life for the world, and I wouldn't change the people in my life either. ^_^ <3
