You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown

I was hoping this next post was going to be a "Hurray! I got into CRNA school!" post. But alas, it is not. Cue the sad Charlie Brown music now.. 



I thought I had a decent interview at MSU, but apparently strike 2 proves otherwise. I will admit I was a bit discouraged and disappointed for a few days, but I think that cloud has passed over me now. My past disappointments always seem to prove to me that there is something better for me out there. So I will embrace my loss and await the next big adventure. 

I am not giving up on CRNA school. However, now that my required statistics class is over 5 years old, I will need to retake that before I can apply to any more schools. (whomp, whomp..) That being said, I will be on a short hiatus from "Operation: CRNA School" until further notice. So that's where I stand with that. 

On a happier note, it is FINALLY warm outside!! Sunny and 88 degrees. I will take it. Cannot wait to get out on the water and enjoy a TC summer for the first time in a long time. Very stoked. 

Despite the little wrench of rejection in my "life plan", I am wildly in love with my life right now. I am dating the most amazing man on the planet and my life is full of amazing and supportive friends and family. I am a truly blessed person. To think over a year ago I was panicked about the thought of being eternally single. (See Quarter-Life Crisis) Silly Dani, quit worrying about the future so much and try to enjoy being 26, free, and totally clueless as to where your life is going. What is for you will not pass you by.

Insignificant Updates

For the first time since starting this blog, I have failed to produce at least one post a month. Sorry, April, it's nothing personal. Although, your constant surprise snow showers certainly did not make me any more fond of you..

Things have been going well and we are finally beginning to have days of nice 70 degree weather here in Northern Michigan. Small victories. My job is a job, but the people I work with are great, so that is a nice bonus. And things with Paul continue to constantly exceed my expectations. He is just absolutely amazing. I could write for hours about how ridiculously awesome he is, but I'll save you the time and you can just take my word for it. It's funny to me how one simple decision to go to a bar with my sister could result in bringing me this much happiness. Life is funny like that.

Don't really have much else to update. Paul and I have been doing quite a bit of home repair on his place and are planning to schedule our skydiving trip for some time this summer. I have another exciting piece of information, but I will share that with you at a later date.. I don't want to jinx anything.
