Friday Love List & #backthatazzup

I remember when I looked forward to Spring Break. No school, sleeping in until 10 am, watching The Price is Right and ordering pizza with my brothers. That one week stretch was the bright light in the second half of the school year.

Now, the only reason I look forward to Spring Break is because I take PTO at work so I can study all week.

Oh, the life of a nursing student.

Being up by 8 or 8:30 so I can drag my butt to Starbucks to study isn't the most fun thing to do, but the exam I have next week (that I would prefer to kick ass on) is motivating me.

Anyways, here's a few things I loved this week.

Riley was very happy to have me back after being gone for 4 days. He and I spent most of Monday snuggled up on the couch.

Tuesday was the anniversary of the Boston Marathon bombings. Throughout the internet, survivors shared their stories, this year's runners shared their motivation, and there was an overall theme of perseverance and hope. The running community is not to be messed with.

My little brother and I hit up the Milwaukee Art Museum on Tuesday afternoon. He wanted to check out some exhibits and I have never been there so I figured it would be nice to spend some time with the broski. The above picture is the main lobby where local yoga studios host free yoga sessions every once in awhile. The view of the lake is stunning and all the natural light made me pine for summer.

Oh. Em. Gee. How many of you watched the Scandal season 3 finale?! My heart was beating out of my chest and I barely even touched the popcorn I made! I don't want to post anything specific in case some of you haven't watched it yet and I would hate to ruin it for you! Cannot wait for this season to be on Netflix so I can binge watch it!

This is how he begs for my english muffin in the morning. How can you ignore that face?!

Al's Run is a local race that raises money for the hospital I work at. This year, I'm my unit's team captain and I'm hoping that we can be the unit/team that raises the most money! :) I have lofty goals, but I'm motivated!

This is my "I'm driving with the sunroof open!" happy face! First time this year!

And of course, linking up with Whitney for #backthatazzup Friday!

This is our current abs song in BodyAttack and it's just SO DAMN CATCHY!
