Caitlin's questions:

1. What is one of your favorite items in your home?

This wall art that I got at Kohl's just a few weeks ago. We hung it above our bed. 

2. Favorite country song?

Hmm, oh my gosh I haven't listened to country in ages. Probably Two Black Cadillacs by Carrie Underwood.

3. When was the last time you did something for the first time?

Tough one! I went to Arizona for the first time in May. That's the last thing I can think of!

4. What would you fight for?

Any of my family and my friends.

5. Who are the 5 people you hang out with the most?

My friends Marlys, Beth, and Stacey and also probably Donaldo and my mom if they count ;)

6. What are your long and short term goals?

Short term goals include: volunteering for HALO (a homeless shelter in my town), finishing my tasks for and be inducted into NSLS (my honor society) in April, graduate the PN program in May, pass my NCLEX exam in June, and have a job as an LPN by the end of the summer.

Long term goals include: graduating as an RN in 2014 (& in a perfect world be at least 6 mos. pregnant at graduation LOL), have kids immediately after, pass the NCLEX-RN, find a good job (in OB, most likely) that I love, buy a house, and eventually go back for my BSN and MSN to become a Nurse Practitioner someday.

7. Other than family, who is the biggest role model in your life?

My friend Beth. She is older than me and she is such an inspiration to me. She is the most caring person I've ever met in my life and she is a wonderful wife and mother. 

8. Are you living your life to the best of your ability or are you settling?

I get up everyday and I am so thankful for the gift of life. I thank God every day for another wonderful day on Earth, and I never take life for granted. I have high hopes and dreams and I won't settle for less :)

9. What are your travel dreams?

Oh goodness. Number one on my list is I want to go back to California so badly. I went there once when I was 16, but it was only for 5 days and I couldn't really do anything I was with my family. I want to see ALL of California, honestly. Other than that, I really want to go to Europe, mostly Switzerland, Austria, Germany, and maybe Italy. I'd also like to go to Alaska sometime. 

10. If money wasn't an issue, what would your dream job be?

I actually love nursing so I'd probably stick with the same career. I'd love to be a stay at home mom too, but oh my gosh I'd probably go crazy since I'm so used to working.

11. Favorite holiday

Thanksgiving! <3

I'm not really going to tag anyone because I only have 7 followers haha :)  But thanks Caitlin this was fun!
