1. Seeing where my first year of nursing takes me.
It has been an exciting few months as a new nurse, in a unit that I really enjoy working in. As I grow in my career, it will be interesting to see where I am a year from now and if I still enjoy working in the postpartum unit.
2. Running my first half-marathon.
Five years ago, I never would have thought that I would be a runner, much less attempting to train for a 13.1 mile race. My training plan for this year is to run a 10k in the early spring, a 5k in late spring, and then train for a half-marathon in the fall. I'd love to get a group of nurses from my hospital floor together to run a Ragnar as well next fall (I've already got our team name: We Are RNs = Ragnar Nurses. Cute, right?)
3. Watching Noodle transition to high school.
This is one thing I have been dreading for 13 years and it is rapidly approaching. A typical high school setting isn't the most beneficial for his autism, so we are going to be applying to several charter high schools and I pray that God has my boy in His plans and will send him to the best school for him.
4. The possibility of buying a house/moving.
I am SO over renting. I dislike being beholden to a landlord and not having a say in what happens in this house (which I'm not very fond of anyway). I am desperate to return to our former stomping grounds. I feel like that is where we belong and if it is in God's plan, we will not be at our current address a year from now.
5. Seeing my family again.
Nursing school has prevented me from going to family functions and this year I will not miss out anymore. I am lucky enough to be able to set my own work schedule, so I should be able to work around attending a possible wedding and maybe a baby blessing or two this year. I miss my family and can't wait to laugh and make memories with them again.
