another day

its been almost a month since i've moved here to iowa. i can honestly say i'm thankful to be here and i'm really enjoying my time here thus far.

here a few of my favorite things about being here:

1) being close to grandma milly & grandpa marv

2) being in a bachelor's degree nursing program

3) having to get out of my comfort zone and actually be "the new person". not having all of my friends that i love "down the street" has been stretching but its been a good experience for me on a lot of different levels...

4) having my own little place (even though i share it! : )

5) not having to sit in traffic

6) cooking a lot more

7) having a coffee shop other than starbucks that is insanely amazing

mind you i really miss people from back home... not so much california (except the sunshine!). i'm learning a lot in so many areas its a little overwhelming. school, life, who i am, where i want to be...

oh and side note: i have to share my new favorite breakfast:

lavender oatmeal. don't say gross, i think everyone should try oatmeal with lavender flowers, flaxseed, slivered almonds, and agave (or honey) on top. : ) i made it up yesterday and i'm stoked about it. its my attempt at domestic-ness.

i'm so proud of you that starbucks is no longer a part of your daily routine.
