The Life of a Working Student


Yes, I stole this picture from Jenny.
No, it is not the most flattering picture of me, but Cole looks adorable sporting his new do!
I miss Cole, Pearl, and Jenny.
I never knew how much seeing them everyday would mean to me, but now that I'm lucky to see them once a week, I miss them terribly.
My sister is my best friend.  Pearl and Cole are literally like my kids.  But ever since I got a full time job and started nursing school, I feel like I'll be lucky if they even remember who I am!
I'm constantly worrying about them and thinking about them and wishing I could go see them or do something for them.
I'll admit, I cried a lot over labor day weekend because I was stuck working while my family was at Bear Lake.  
I miss my family.  I miss being able to go up to Logan on the weekends to hang out with them.  I miss being able to go to Bear Lake for every holiday over the summer. 
What was I thinking taking on a full time job and full time school?!  Don't get me wrong, I love my new job, and I'm enjoying school, but I feel like all I do is work, go to school, come home, go to bed, and wake up the next morning to do it all over again!  I barely even see Nick anymore, because when we are both home, I am so exhausted I usually just sit and fall asleep in the chair or go to bed at 8:00!
Eh, its just the life of a working student, right?  Someone tell me it will get better!

It will get better I promise! And it's worth it! Trust me... after finally finishing my Master's degree it will be worth it. Of course it sucks during the whole process though.

And we miss you more! I'm so excited to have another best friend... one that isn't attached to me at the breast!
