Under the Sea

Coming from a life-long Disney fanatic, I am super pumped about them releasing The Little Mermaid on DVD.  Of course, I grew up watching it on VHS and still throw it in the old VCR on occasion, but I will get to add one of my all-time favorites to my DVD collection.  We added Cinderella for my birthday and now this!  I have had people tell me that I am getting too old to love Disney as much as I do, but those are high quality motion pictures and they take me back to simpler times when my parents did everything for me, I didn't have bills, and I didn't have to stress out about tests and finals.

With that said, I apologize for my lack of a post in awhile.  It's been a little hectic at school with the teachers throwing everything on us all in the last two weeks.  Thanks a lot!  I have an exam Monday and skills check-offs basically every day after that.  We could've spaced it out a little. As those of you who have experienced nursing school know, it is not the most organized thing and often things just happen when they happen with not too terribly much notice.  I would much rather have spaced out all this junk throughout the semester.  However, I do have to take a moment to thank my wonderful husband for being such a willing participant in helping me practice my skills.  He is a great patient!

I can't thank God enough for putting such a wonderful man in my life.  I know I mention my husband quite a lot in this blog, but I really am such a lucky girl!  In watching the news the past day or so, I realized how scary his job can be.  Lots of times, he and his firefighter friends brush it off like what they do is no big deal, but I am so proud of my husband and his crew.  Many firefighters and emergency personnel ran into the flames that engulfed a West, Texas fertilizer plant this week rather running out.  Several of those brave men lost their lives and their families lost them too.  I can't imagine getting a phone call or visit like that, but that's the risk my husband runs every day when he goes to work.  I tell him often that while everyday does not involve dangers and massive life-threatening fires, you never when that one day comes and they get called to the big one.  The one that will cause him and his friends to risk they lives to save others.  For any of you that know, care about, or love a firefighter or emergency responder, give them some extra love today and every day and make sure they know how much you care.
