KEEPING UP WITH KOLBIE

Hi friends, welcome to Wandering West! No, this is not an April Fools joke, I have FINALLY started my blog. I can't wait to give you a peek inside my life in Nashville! From honky- tonks to girls nights in, nursing and dealing with anxiety, I look forward to sharing a piece of me with each of you!

For those of you that don't know me {yet}, my name is Kolbie and I am a 26 year old Pediatric Oncology and Pediatric Intensive Care Unit nurse in Nashville, Tennessee. I moved here in June of 2019 after years of daydreaming, saving money and gaining nursing experience. I lived alone with my mini- goldendoodle Nashville in Pensacola, Florida and even though I was minutes away from my best friends and family, my wandering spirit wanted more. So I did what any other millennial would do... I joined a Facebook page for girls looking for roommates in Nashville. Y'ALL. After only being on the site for 3 days I hit the roommate lottery! Kierston is my roommate and quickly became one of my best friends- you'll meet her and my sweet God- dogs later! I finally felt like things were falling into place and God was opening doors that I had been praying for {and banging on} for years. Kierston lived in Indiana while I was in Florida and the two of us traveled back and forth to Nashville- separately- for months touring apartments and having FaceTime dates. In May of 2019 we both fell in love with the apartment complex we currently live in. Neither of us could have imagined what this 900 square foot apartment with two girls and three dogs would mean to us. The lessons, the laughs, the breakdowns and everything in between.

Fast forward almost eight months- H O L Y C O W- and here we are! I can't wait for you to be Wandering West with me!
