What's that smell?

Today I am blogging about smell. This is odd I know, but trust me when I say it is going somewhere. It started this morning in the shower, and I know that right this moment you are thinking that I must have been really stinky this morning but this is not the case. I was no more or less stinky than I am any other morning and I like to think that as a general rule I smell pretty unstinky most of the time. In a vain attempt to grab my own body wash, my clumsy hands knocked Jordan's(my husband) body wash off of the shelf. It hit the floor and the to popped off of it, and suddenly I smelt him. Foolishly I closed my eyes for a second and pretended he was there. And for a second he was. For a second he was there with his arms around me right where he belongs. Isn't it amazing what a smell of something can do. Like coming home from a long crappy day, ticked cuz you don't feel like cooking dinner, and walking through the door to be greeted by the smell that reminds you you put a roast in the crock pot this morning. Or smelling your baby's head after a bath and thinking to yourself everything would be alright if you could just sit and hold that baby.This could go on and on, all I am saying is that I am so glad I have a fully functioning nose( except when Jordan eats mexican food) :)

An AHA moment...sort of

Ok so I know anyone who has ever pursued a college degree has at least one time during college thought "Can I really do this?" "Should I do something else?" or "Am I cut out to do this?" Well I was kind of having that hought yesterday as I sat in Biology with the most dumbfounded look on my face as the teacher was explaining ligaments, tendons, and joints. I felt stupid to say the least.Flash forward to last night after dinner. As some friends and I were headed back to my house from the park an ambulance and fire truck pulled into a neighbor's house whom I know has kids. I thought to myself "I don't know what I'd do if something happened to my baby like that." Then suddenly realized, well in a few years I will know what to do. I will know exactly what to do. :) So there goes AHA moment numero uno...

First Attempt...

Well I am kind of new at this blog thing, but decided that it would be nice to jot down my thought as I journey into the life of a military wife, child-rearing, and the intimidating task of becoming an Oncology Nurse. The posts may be about any of those things or about nothing in general, nevertheless, I hope you you enjoy...
