Hi, I am still alive.

Because I am a white girl that loves Target I was seduced into buying this lovely doormat. Since cutting back on work to go to school I have exerted every effort to avoid that store but you can only go so long, ya know. I walked in.. this walked out. It's fine.

Spring is the word of the day, people. I was rather bitter about the whole crappy winter we had, because I am a weirdo and love snow, but once all the flowers started blooming my attitude changed rather quickly. Prior to my nursing ambitions I dreamt of being a florist. I love flowers and therefore my table has had continual tulips on it for weeks. 

**fun fact alert** Did you know that if an sick/injured/sad person has flowers in their room it can lift their mood and therefore promote a more speedy recovery? Mood and attitude actually has a very significant impact on the healing process. Give your friends flowers!!

Several weeks ago my family went down to St. George for our annual Shamrock (formerly Spectrum) 10K. We run it every single year and it truly is a joy, assuming that you properly trained for it. The scenery is nice anyway. This year I was not my fittest, however I am happy to announce that I did indeed survive the race and I wasn't the last to cross the finish line!

AND, my mother signed me up for the Disneyland Half Marathon again this year. I can't argue with her. I love Disneyland and I am willing to sacrifice my legs for a summer in order to go there. I have fallen off the bandwagon since, well... #nursingschool and I haven't seen the gym in weeks. I don't plan to see it again until after finals. Hopefully three months is sufficient to train. It should be, right?

Throwback to last year's Disneyland trip! I have been pinning Disneyland pins like crazy because I'm kind of going through withdrawals. Judge me. I also may or may not have been listening to the Cinderella soundtrack from the movie that just came out. I am such a cheeseball, but I absolutely loved that movie. I seriously may never grow up.
