Running, Favorite Running Playlists, and Kitty Cuddles

So here I am drinking some coffee and trying to catch up on my recap posts. I'm trying to catch up on school but I still want to be doing these posts so I can look back and remember this year. 

Last week (week of 17 January 2017) was a pretty good week. I've been keeping up with my running, my workouts, and I got all the Christmas decorations down and decorated the house for Valentine's Day!



Tuesday I decided to go for a run. Although I have Amazon Prime Music, I still love running to Spotify's running playlists because it detects your steps per minute and gives you great music that matches your pace.


My favorite palm tree in the neighborhood is so magnificently tall. You can't really tell in this picture how tall it is though.



After the run Lando wanted to go outside with me on the front porch while I had my protein shake.


Later that night I decided to take down the upstairs Christmas tree. Lando wasn't having it. He decided sleeping in the box was the best option to prevent me from putting the tree away.



Wednesday I took down some of the other decorations in the house, did some schoolwork, and cuddled with Lando.


Thursday and Friday I focused on school and fitness. 


That night it was a bit cold so Lando decided to sleep in a ball under the covers lol.


That weekend it snowed on the mountains just west of here! 





With the nice cool weather I decided to go for a run. I, however, forgot about the wind. My ears were hurting so much from the wind. I had to stop and put my hood up part way through.




The view was worth the bitter wind.


It was a pretty good run. I can feel myself getting stronger every run and they're getting easier and easier.

Later that weekend I took down the massive tree we have in the living room and set up the Valentine's decorations.

Externship Update

It has been a little over a month since I started my externship! I have learned so much in the last 5 weeks and I'm excited to learn so much more. I really hope I get hired at my externship site. They have been hinting at hiring me and a few things have been said but nothing official has been said yet. If I don't get hired there I'm still thankful for the opportunity and am sure I'll get hired somewhere in the area. Since the externship started I have progressed more than I thought I would. Things I didn't think I'd be doing right now but am: *sending out samples for results *doing some callbacks to see how patients are doing *taking a client and patient to a room and then getting a history and TPR on my own *drawing blood *monitoring in patients and patients coming out of surgery I still have more ways to go but I am really proud of all my accomplishments so far. I will be publishing an official post once I'm done with my results but I just wanted

Warrior Challenge Obstacle Course and Mud Run

Today my husband and I completed the Warrior Challenge Obstacle Course and Mud Run! We got there at 07:30 bright and early. Before we went I ate a little bit of fruit and packed some things we might need (lots of towels, baby wipes, eye drops, snacks for afterwards, water, and electrolytes). I really enjoyed myself and it was empowering to accomplish it! Jake and I did it together all the way through. I'm so thankful that I have such an amazing husband that is so patient with me and helped me all the way through the event. The event was just short of 6 miles. It had over ten obstacles and included mud pits and a run through the woods that was very muddy! At the end we got some free water, Gatorade, fruit, snacks, and beer! I was very surprised but my Fitbit Surge held up pretty well! The only thing is when we got sprayed with water at the end, the force of the water must have hit one of the buttons and it turned off my Fitbit. That was as we were crossing the finis

Arizona 2.0

Since I've last posted there have been a few major changes and events that have happened. I have vacationed in the Bahamas, we have moved to Arizona, have bought a house, and have donated my hair. I've been meaning to update this blog for a while but now here I am watching Rome, drinking some cranberry juice, and typing on my laptop. Jake got a position in Southern Arizona as a contractor so we moved here and decided to buy a house. We looked at houses online for about a month before we found this one. It had everything we wanted in a house which was difficult to find. We did a virtual tour before deciding to put down an offer. It was accepted! Then we flew out to Arizona to walk through the home twice before going back to Tennessee and packing up all our stuff. After three days and both mine and Jake's cars breaking down in Texas we finally made it to Arizona. We lived out of a hotel for about a month. Because we were staying there so long, we received a special ra
