A New Start

I know I attempted to restart my blogging last fall and clearly failed miserably after just two posts. I cannot believe it has been so long since I've written anything, so much has happened to me in the past few months I still can't believe it at times. When I started this blog I had just graduated from college (and nursing school), and was still living in Omaha, Nebraska finishing out my lease getting ready to take my nursing boards (the big test you take to become a Registered Nurse), and basically building up the courage to say goodbye to a city that had been my home for four long years.

After taking, and passing my boards at the end of July I packed up my car and drove back home to Portland, Oregon to move in with parents, with no job and no friends left over from high school, it was definitely a dark few months. In a way though, being unemployed gave me a change of pace, a chance to spend quality time with my parents, and get to know people in my life that I hadn't really had the opportunity to spend time with.


On January 10th I trekked up to Seattle for my first, and only official interview for an RN position. About a week and half later they'd offered me a job, and on February 15th I moved up to Seattle. I found my roommates on Craigslist and have been pretty happy with my new home so far. The past few months have proved difficult and rewarding at the same time, and I am looking forward to restarting (hopefully with much more success than last time) Let Me Blow Your Mind, and using this as an opportunity to share things I love as well as my experiences and adventures. Thanks for reading, and stay tuned for more to come!
