My own version of the Lion King

So I bought a new sweater yesterday and I'm in love with it. Soft. Comfy. Perfect length. Perfect colors. You name it, it's awesome. Too bad I got a hole in it this morning. Except for...THE HOLE WAS FROM A BABY LION!! That's right, homegirl got to play tug or war with a little cutie this morning. Where you may ask? The Gentry Wildlife Safari Drive Through Zoo. Aka the best thing ever. Going to Africa is still my top "real life lion king" experience (because it actually was), but they don't let you play with their lions out there and they could also eat me so I don't know that I would have wanted to. So today, not only did I get to fall in love with Kova and Kiera but I saw a baby kangaroo and all the usual zoo friends and then ended the trip by riding a camel with my nephew. How was your Sunday?

Then just when I mentally prepared myself to spend the next 12 hours doing homework, of course Mother Nature decided to through a wrench in my plans. I got out of the car to go to the library and of course the weather was insanely beautiful and I just knew I couldn't stay inside. Thankfully, one of my amazing littles was free so we decided to cruise up to Devil's Den to go hike for a little bit. The views always get my but my oh my with the leaves changing. BAM. Serious take your breath away type material.

Happy Fall Y'all

Welp, it's been a while. Days, weeks, months have come and gone and it all seems like a blink of eye. To say this semester started off a little rough is probably the understatement of the year but don't worry, I'm still kicking;) Speaking of kicking, nursing school has been definitely kicking my butt. My day to day consists of class, study, eat, sleep then repeat. Thankfully I've started to become way more adjusted so I get to toss more funsie stuff in there. Speaking of adjusting (segways on segways!), I've had to do quite a bit of that myself these says besides just school but trust me, I'm working on it (slowly but surely). Now to catch myself up on everything that has happened since school started would probably be close to impossible but I have some pics so don't fret.


A few things I can catch up on, my beautiful family! So in addition to the two fantastic parents, three amazing brothers, two sweetheart sister in laws, two chunky nephews, and two perfect pup dogs, I now get to add one darling little niece and one more on the way! Thankfully, I got to meet baby Quinn just a few days after she was born and I just wanted to hold her all day she was so adorable. It makes me even more excited to meet baby Sloan in February. And the nephews...keep getting cuter and cuter. Its almost embarrassing how much I talk about them but I can't help it, they're just little bundles of joy!

Even though we see each other just about all day everyday, somehow we haven't killed each other yet!

That's all I can mange for now but maybe if I get back into the swing of posting, I won't have so much to catch up on!
