Sometimes marriage sucks.

Yup...you read that correctly, sometimes marriage sucks.. Michael and I are coming up on our seventh month of marriage. Shortly after our first month, we made a huge life decision, leaving some family, and turning our life in a completely different direction than we had ever planned. Before I continue, let me add that with all the stress our decision has made for us, it’s not one that we regret. We are incredibly grateful to be where we are, and fully believe this is where God has intended for us to be. With that being said, it has not been easy. It has been trying in all directions of our life. I am not one to ever pretend my relationship/marriage is perfect. We are human beings, both with different personalities and thought processes. Our relationship has never been perfect or easy. Michael and I started out dating in high school, at 16 years old and have been together nearly 10 years. No one could realistically expect that to be a beautiful walk in the park everyday, and let me t...

Finding a new balance

-
HELLO EVERYONE! First I would like to apologize to everyone for being so absent lately! Michael and I have had a whirlwind of a summer to say the least. As I stated in a recent insta post I can't quite yet share all the new changes to our lives...but I will soon! I have been beyond blessed with the opportunity to do whatever I want, and who wouldn't LOVE that right?? Just a few short months ago when I was employed full time, in school full time, and getting very limited sleep or family time I dreamed of the ability to be at home and decide my own schedule. Now before I get into this post I would like to add that I am incredibly grateful to be in the position that I am and to live the life that I do. But as with all big changes in life you have to find a new balance and that isn't always as easy as one might hope. In the past when thinking of, (excuse me dreaming of) the possibility of being a stay at home dog mom I only thought of the luxury of getting to stay home, not wo...

Hellllllo you guys!  I know I know, it's been a minute...or two. May was an insane month! Ahhh, so sad it's over. My husband and I flew to Mexico three days before our wedding and we were in PARADISE!! We stayed at the RIU palace in Cabo San Lucas and it was so beautiful. Because we were the bride and groom they upgraded our room to a two story balcony with a jacuzzi! We drank, ate, and swam until we couldn't anymore! Our families arrived in Mexico just one day after us and let me just say I am one fortunate girl to of married the man I did, and gain the family I now have! This was a first for us to take a family trip altogether and it was filled with so many laughs, stories, and love. My husband and I are truly blessed with such wonderful people in our lives. Okay, I know you're probably reading this just to hear about the wedding lol. I was filled with so many nerves. I have been with Michael for nearly nine years yet I was so anxious to see his handsome self and off...

Have I totally lost it?

-
Hey hey you guys!  Welcome to my blog. This being my first blog, I wanted to introduce myself and let everyone know that yes, I in fact have lost it! To anyone that currently knows me personally, understands why, and by the end of this read I'm sure you will too! My name is Jessica. I am a nursing student in Michigan. I work full time over night in a hospital near me as a patient care technician (basically CNA) and have been doing so for over two years. Despite the long hours, long nights, and sometimes awful patients, it is where my heart lies and I know matter of factly its what I was called to do! I plan on going to grad school immediately after I graduate to pursue my DNP-FNP. On top of working full time and going to school, I am getting married to my high school sweetheart! I know, I know...you don't hear that often. It hasn't been the wonderful fairytale most people think of when you tell them that. It has been really hard, trying, frustrating..but also amazing, a...
