Hi, ho there, everyone. Happy 2013!!! Hope you guys all enjoyed yourself, and are nursing some worthwhile hangovers!

Thanks for all of the comments on my STUPIDLY LONG blog, that was so long I had to divide it up into three separate blogs (not surprising, given I was recalling virtually EVERYTHING that had happened from the time I moved out here to California, back on June 7th, 2011, all the way up until just yesterday, December, 31st, 2012)!

Part 1

Part 2

Part 3


ALSO: Pearl Lioness, shot by WWaikiki has finally hit 900 comments, and it's sitting well at 96%! Thank you SO much, everyone!


Today is the final day of Kwanzaa, and I really appreciate all of the great comments and questions you guys asked me about it. For anyone who missed it, you can check out my blog describing all of the principals of Kwanzaa, why I celebrate it, and a short rundown of what the holiday is.

Given that today begins the first day of the new year, and the last day of Kwanzaa, I can almost see why the final, celebrate principal of the Nguzo Saba (The Seven Principals) is none other than the principal of Imani .

Faith.

My personal belief is that having faith is a reason to continue to believe in something, even when there is no reason to. That being said, keep strong in your beliefs, in your dreams, and in the goals you want to achieve and will achieve.

Have faith even when all seems lost and you'll find yourself a much stronger person at the end.

That being said, I spent today reflecting, relaxing, cleaning up, cleaning out my Friends' list on facebook, and once I'm done with this blog, I'll getting ready for more of the P90X Insanity work out today (because two days later and I still can't move).

Some of the big upcoming events for the next few months are:

*Starting my sleeve on the 11th of this month! I found an AMAZING tattoo artist here in California, who studied beneath to of the most prominent Japanese horishi families when he was in Japan, so this is going to be epic!

*Getting through the rest of my time in school, and my clinicals. I'm hoping I do SO well in the nursing home where we're doing them that they'll hire me, and that'll be even greater, because that means I can start working the day after I get certified.

*I take my state Board exam at the end of this month!!!!!!!!!!!

*February 1st through the 3rd, there's the Shootfest in a Vegas mansion with some awesome babes (hosted by Alicee and Bradley, AND that same weekend, Bradley and I will be celebrating our 24th Birthdays!

*Back to school to finish up the last of my two extra classes, ie, Home Health Aide, and Restorative Nursing, which is thankfully, less than a week and a half.

*Assuming I impressed the people at the nursing home, I'll have my first real nursing job, and will be able to save up money for the next big event happening in April:

*Moving to Maui with Milloux!

Now, I know everyone's like, "WHAT?! What happened to you going back to Chicago to help out your mom?" Well, that's STILL happening. Milloux and I have decided to spend six months in Maui, living it up, having some good life experiences, and originally, when she asked me to go with her, I though she was kidding, and I felt guilty even THINKING about going with her.

But, given it's only for six months, which means I'll be back in Chicago by October, 2013, and home in time for the Holidays, and can get everything set up for my mom, AND have the money to do it, I'm very, very excited for both of those new adventures. I've never been to Hawaii, much less Maui, so I'm stoked to spend half a year baking in the sun, and working, and I can only imagine how impressive it'll look on my resume when it reads, "Worked as a nurse in Hawaii".

So, come April, it's bye-bye California, Hello Maui! Moving on:


*Living in Maui/Big Island Adventures for half a year.

*Accumulate more tattoos in that time.

*Straight to Chicago in October.

*Make good on my biggest resolution to my mom. I told her about Maui and she threatened to kill me if I didn't go. ♥

She's very proud of me, and assured me she'd be fine for the next few months, which made me all the more ready to go. I'm very excited for these opportunities! That being said, here's to a great 2013, everyone! Cheers, my dears, and here's to everyone achieving their dreams and goals in 2013!

Kisses to all the misses, and pitched tents for all the gents!
