Some {Exciting} News

I am so excited to share some amazing news with all of you! If you follow me on instagram then you have already seen the exciting news but if not, I officially got into nursing school! I applied to two different schools and have been patiently waiting to hear back from both of them. The day before I left for NYC with my best friend Jamie I got my first letter! I am so so excited and feel very blessed to finally be on the path that I have wanted for myself. I should hear back from the other school either this week or next week and I am very anxious! The Lord has definitely provided and I am so excited to see where this takes me and what the future has in store!

And if getting into school was not enough, I received a letter yesterday stating that I have been awarded a scholarship for each year! I could not be more excited and ready to get back into school and start working towards my RN.

{Lace} Details

I have to admit I am a huge sucker for lace! It is so elegant and timeless, you can never go wrong. I was so bummed after editing these pics that you can't see the lace detail on these pants. Guess I will have to wear them again soon..darn!

{Merry Christmas}

Merry Christmas everyone! I hope you had a fabulous day with your family and friend's, I know I did! I was so excited for it to start snowing when my family and I left for Christmas Eve service on Monday night, meaning we got to wake up to a white Christmas yesterday! I feel so blessed and truly grateful for being able to spend Christmas with my family, especially my brothers, since we rarely get to all be together.

I have recently realized how fashionable turtlenecks have become this winter. I never thought I would actually own let alone wear one again but here I am rocking it for Christmas! What are your thoughts on turtlenecks? I would love to know!

{Motivation} Monday

I can not believe that it is officially Christmas eve! This year has flown by so fast and the fact that tomorrow is Christmas is just blowing me away! I have always loved Christmas because it is one of the few times of the year that my brother's and I actually get to spend time all together. Of course it is my favorite holiday for other reasons, I mean i love any excuse to eat make cookies, decorate my house, get dressed up, open presents and spend time with my family. Now that we are all adults and live in seperate states we don't get to spend as much time together as we used to as kids. We don't even care about opening presents anymore we just enjoy being together. 

This quote is so true because love definitely fills the air on Christmas morning in our house. I love waking up with my family and just spending time talking and laughing and telling stories of when we were kids. I am so amazed and grateful for God's love and protection over my family and feel so blessed to have them safely here with me. Its a special day to celebrate the birth of Jesus and really worship and honor him for all of the wonderful blessings he has brought to my life this year. Each morning i wake up with an open heart ready to worship the Lord and tomorrow will be extra special.

On a side note I saw a few people on instagram the past few days that started doing the 26 acts of kindness and decided to start it for myself. It is a great opportunity for you or your family to go out into the community and help those either in need or less fortunate. It doesn't take much to make someones day better so any little bit counts!

I hope that you all have an amazing Christmas with your family and friends.
