It's been a while...

I promise I'm still alive! Ha ha, just been VERY busy the past few weeks, mostly because my work schedule has been crazy and all over the place. Which, by the way, I do not like one bit, but there's not really anything I could do about it, unfortunately. Anyway, update time!

First of all, I'm soo glad it's finally getting into the cooler fall months! Definitely my favorite time of year. :) I've been shopping LOTS lately, lol, and got some new jeans, sweaters, and pretty much all the other essentials for when it gets colder outside. My favorite thing I bought, though, would have to be my boots! They're mid-calf length, have a bit of a heel, and are biker boots! Also, I got them at Payless for about $30. This is what they look like:



I absolutely love them! Especially since I've been wearing a lot of skinny jeans/jeggings lately...these look really great worn over those, no matter what top I'm wearing.

Second, and this one is kind of random...I'm pretty sure I talked about going to see "The Help" back in a previous post. Well, I've been reading the book, and it's awesome. I definitely recommend it to everyone. :)

Third (also random): I've been trying to eat healthier and exercise more here lately. Back in January, after I was finished with RN school and the holiday season was over, I started doing that, and between the months of January and August, I lost almost 30 pounds! Very proud of myself for that, and I really like how I look...but I would like to lose another 20, because that will be at least 2 pant sizes down, which is where I feel like I need to be. I know it'll be difficult with the holiday season fast approaching, but I'm doing it the healthy way like I did before, so I'm sure it'll work. I'll try to keep updated on that.

Now the fourth thing that's new with me...I got a new phone! And...it's an iPhone 4. :) I LOVE it, and I've only had it for 3 days. The phone I had previously was a HTC Droid Eris. It was okay, but in my opinion, Android phones have nothing on the iPhone!

And now for the last thing, and I definitely saved the best for last. :) I'm dating a new guy! We've been seeing each other for about a month, but we "talked" on and off for nearly a year and a half before that. I'll have to write more about him and how we started dating in a separate post. He's amazing, and I'm definitely falling hard for him. :) He makes me sooo happy! And yes, he has a name, ha ha. His name is Mat. :)

I do believe that is it for now. Sorry for not posting much lately, but like I said, my work schedule has been crazy! Hopefully from now on I can write at least a couple of times a week, but we'll see.

xoxo, Brittany
