Helloooooo adulthood!

Ringing in my ears are the endless voices saying "enjoy college, because pretty soon you will be out in the real world." Well, I kind of like the real world!

A lot has been going on recently. First off, I am working as an RN now! I got a job at a family practice office in Madison, and I LOVE IT! While I make a fraction of what an RN makes elsewhere, I am getting some great experience...from 8a-4p...with no weekends!

In our family, every first day constitutes a picture in the driveway. So, of course, Mom had me in the driveway early before work! She mumbled something about needing a picture of what all their money has gone to over the past 4 years. I knew she was proud :)


Another first in my adult life...I bought a new car! My little Grand AM was struggling along, and now that I am in a place I can afford something, I went for it! I was not planning on a new car, but my dad mentioned that the used car I was looking at cost about the same as a new car with a great warranty. Off to the Kia dealership we went. And that is where I found this!
My 2011 Kia Sorento! I drove it off the lot when it had 29 miles! I love it!!!! And if anyone is looking for a new car, this is a great one, and the man that sold it to me was wonderful!

And no conversation about adulthood could be complete without a WEDDING UPDATE! With 3 months left, there is still quite a bit to do. But, I picked up Eric's ring last week (after a lengthy battle with getting it the correct size, and finally convincing the jeweler that maybe the man that will wear it knows what size is most comfortable on his hand) and it is perfect! Now all that's left is to put it on his finger!

And that's adulthood in a nutshell.
