A thing called the “Cupcake Theory”

April 8, 2022

Almost every ending in my adult life has included cupcakes. It started in 2016 when

Four years, three cities, two tenacious pups, and countless adventures later, I couldn’t be more thankful for you and our little life together. You are the most wonderful partner, amazing dog dad, and best bourbon buddy I could have asked for in this lifetime. Happy anniversary, my love. ❤️

Life lately? It’s been hectic these past six weeks, to say the least.

So here’s a photo dump and highlights because this damn biology midterm has to happen before my next novel-length blog post can.

👩‍⚕️ Went with my gut and changed my career path from an RD to an RN. And eventually, a PMHNP.

📚 Started prerequisites at Western Oregon University with a full-time course load that put me on track to apply for nursing programs this winter.

💐 Watched one of my best friends marry the love of her life. And had the honor of standing by her side while it happened in beautiful Central Oregon.

📘 Passed my two-part exam with the Oregon State Board of Nursing to earn my Certified Nursing Assistant license.

❤️‍🔥 Discovered a sort of resolve and capacity I didn’t know my soul was capable of mustering.

👭 Connected with some of the most amazing humans through every experience—as mentors, as friends, and as team members.

💖 Cultivated an even deeper love, appreciation, and gratitude for my partner who has wholeheartedly supported me wholeheartedly through all of these life-changing decisions—and my grouchy transition to night shift.

🛑 Embraced the discomfort that can come with setting boundaries with the people I love and letting “no” be a complete sentence.

❤️‍🩹 Finally recognized that healing from deep trauma and abuse is never going to be a straight line. And even what feels like regression can be beautiful growth.

🧦 Found a new shopping addiction when it comes to @wearfigs and good compression socks.

Soaking up the lingering rays of sunlight and dust

Soaking up the lingering rays of sunlight and dusty hues of the new season. Happy #SummerSolstice, friends. 🌻🌿
