I finally got some new checks.

And they're girlie!! My favorite kind.

February 1-7

I've been avoiding updating this blog for the last few weeks.  I've missed a lot of pictures and almost felt like giving up on it.  I've just had a rough couple of weeks.  Work seems like the only good thing I have going for me right now, but I only work three days a week and sometimes that doesn't seem like enough to escape. 

Don't get me wrong, I love working only three days a week, but that can cause problems at times...

Also, postgrad life can be a little bit not so fun afterall.

Oy.

Well, I've been thinking and I have a lot to work on.
I can only depend on myself for my happiness.  

I need to move forward and not let the little things get to me.

I need to learn to be ok with myself again.

I need to be more giving without expecting anything in return.

I need to be brave.

Good way to start off the new year I'd say.

Also, do you see that cute scarf I'm wearing?! It was a Christmas gift from the cute girl next to me.
I love my life.

I love New Year's Eve.  Not that you can't start over whenever you want, but ringing in the new year always helps put goals and the desire to change in the front of your mind.. at least it does for me.

This was a gift that Leah got me one year for my birthday.  It has been by far one of my favoritest gifts because of the message and she gave it to me when I was struggling the most.  Plus, I thought this quote was fitting on how I can face the new year and how I sort of faced the last one.

I went to a party all by myself New Year's Eve... that shows bravery!

I started going to the gym again... that shows strength!

And I conquered nursing school... that's where the smartness comes in!

Ok, so I'm being a little sarcastic here because I don't think I'm any of those, but I can still work towards them this coming year.

So... Here's to a new year!

Curry.

My brother served his mission in India and this was the dish he ate there all the time.  He loves it and decided he would make some for the family.  It wasn't that bad actually in spite of what it looks like here...
