I'm Back

Hello blogger friends :)

Not sure who all is here..but after my successful two posts months and months ago, I'm going to take a spin at this again. I am an avid blog reader and seriously follow so many great blogs and now it's my turn to take a try at this for the second time!

So here I am...about one week away from graduating with my degree of a bachelors of science in nursing to become an RN. I had my last test today of my undergrad college life and it was a weird feeling. I finished my test and came and sat on my couch and just realized that after I study and take my boards for nursing (the NCLEX test)...I will have nothing more to study for or homework to do...and that is a very strange feeling for me after being in school for mostly my whole life.

These past few weeks and upcoming weeks are being spent with my best friends in Winona doing things that we love doing and also things that are on my 'bucket list' of things that I want to do:

1. Enjoy the beautiful lakes

Dani and I enjoying a walk around the lake on this fantastic day we had.

2. Go to Penguin Zesto for ice cream :) 

Alyssa is like me & never turns down ice cream, so we jumped at this idea last Saturday night and enjoyed some hot fudge sundaes at one of the local ice cream shops in Winona.

Those are the two completed items on my Winona Bucket List and things that are left to do include:
3. Run around the big lake (in preparation for the 10k I plan to run in July!)
4. Climb Sugar Loaf
5. Kayak on the Winona Lakes
6. Take a long bike ride around the town

I was able to spend a great weekend in Winona

Fun times at the bars with great friends

Mangos for drinks with my favorite ladies

This is kind of a long blog post for my first time back...but it is just a small glimpse of my week and there will be more blog posts to come...stay tuned for a layout and title change..I need to personalize this thing and make it unique for me!
