Long Time Coming

I did it! I finally passed my boards and I am officially a Registered Nurse. I am so grateful to everyone who helped me out, especially our families, and of course Riley, he had to deal with nursing school the most. He says he should get an honorary license for having to put up with the late nights, early early mornings, and having to work for free, ha ha he doesn't know the half of it. He actually could probably pass most the tests just listening to me study and talk about things out loud. I just can't believe I actually made it, this has been my dream for so many years, it is what I have always wanted to do with my life. I couldn't believe when i saw my name on the dopl website, it was very surreal and dream like (it was pretty late at night when it posted so it could have been a dream). Just to make sure I wasn't dreaming I got on this morning and there it was again! Oh so thrilled! My next step is to continue working in Float Pool at the hospital, except as a RN, and see what happens from there. I graduate tomorrow from school, and will update with that soon. YAY! I am a RN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Prayers Please!

I won't go into detail but I would appreciate saying prayers for me for the next little bit. I will explain in my next post! Thanks so much!

Scrubs Burning Party

Since we are officially done with nursing school we had a scrubs burning party with some people from nursing school at Lisa's house. It was so much fun and best of all we are DONE with school! Can we say FINALLY! To celebrate the fact that we never have to wear that smurf blue scrub outfit again we held a burning party. It quite the fiesta, we had food, and family, and fun. It felt liberating to burn those scrubs. I am just going to miss those people, they became a big part of my life while we were in school. Here are some pictures of those awful colored scrubs burning!!!!

Keep on reading after this post I updated a few times!

Some of the group, not everybody could come to the party! We had lots of fun though! Wish everybody luck with the Boards! We will be great nurses!

Me burning my scrubs! They burned better than I thought that they would!

Hands down the best picture ever!

Jami's little boy was the first to throw in, he did a mighty fine job!

Riley and Me before burning the scrubs, we got to play badminton, and I showed off my mad skills on the trampoline, it was so much fun to just hang out and not think about having to go back to school ever again! YAHOO!!!!!!!!!

First day of school!

Riley's first day of school was on Aug. 22. He wasn't to thrilled to be going back after his summer working but hey somebody has to be making the money when we get older. He is taking alot of classes for his major, taking lots of PE classes. Shouldn't be to hard of a semester for him, just lots of busy work. It was also his birthday this past week, he had to go to school and work, so afterward we went to dinner and had some fun. We went golfing for it as well. Riley shot his best score in golf yet. He got binoculars from me for his birthday and he plans on getting some waders from both our parents. So I think it was a pretty good birthday for him. Well for him it is back to the grind of school work during the day and working in the afternoon. He will do great this semester.

This is Riley on his first day of school! So excited!

St. George

This summer we went down with my family to St. George to spend a couple days down there, we went to Tuacahn, and saw The Little Mermaid, which was so much fun, I loved it, it was done so good. The next day the boys went golfing and the girls went to Vegas, it was my first time there, I didn't really want to gamble so I hung out with Shelby and Abbee, who aren't 21 yet, and we walked the strip, talk about an eye opening experience, but it was fun all the same. Then me and Riley went and visited Aunt Elaina and her family, love that little Kabitu, she is so freaking cute. On Sunday we came home and did family pictures with my family. Here are some pictures of the weekend. Thanks mom and dad for taking us, we loved it.

Abbee, Shelby and me in front of the M&M factory! Right after that we got caught in a down pour. So much fun!

Abbee and Me in front of a guitar statue.

Shelby and me, on top of the M&M factory, don't look down we were a long ways up. Kinda scary!

Riley and me, at Tuacahn, waiting for the show to start, they had the misters on at this point and Riley really wants some of those to help keep cool.

Shelby in front of the stage, we were goofing around til the show started at dark.
