Fun Day

Today I woke up @ 1:30, I meant to get up at noon, but I did not wake up to my alarm clock and Chris didn't have the heart to wake me up. He and I got to hang out for a bit, then he had to work :(
Then Kellie called me and her, Jill, and I went to Target where they bought a bundle of clothes. Then Mom invited us, along with Julie and Ryan (aunt and cousin) over for din din, which was very yummy. After eating us 6 cousins, Me, Brice, Gavin, Ryan, Kellie, and Jill were all outside together. That was pretty cool since that hasn't happened in a while. Then the parents came out and Jenny and Hunter as well. It was a joyus time, just sittin' around chatting. My Christopher had to work though, so I wish he could have been there! After everyone left, Kellie and I went to DQ and chit-chatted. She's about to go off to college, well not until August, but pretty soon! I will miss her!
Now I'm home and here are some fun pics from today!

Bored Outta My Brain

I'm at work and I'm so incredibly bored and I'm not even 1/2 way through. I ended up floating tonight because we don't have enought patients on our floor. It stinks to leave the peeps I know on our floor, on potluck night of all nights, to a floor where I know no one and I have 5 patients who need nothing and are just going to sleep all night. BORED.

Also, my blog is really weird. I wrote a blog last night and when I go to my blog to see it, it's there sometimes and then not other times, but I'm guess you people can see it cuz three people commented, so yeh, that's weird. I wonder if this blog will work.

Okay, I'm going to make up something fun for myself to do, cuz you guessed it, I'm bored.

I'm gonna type out the alphabet and write things I like that start with each letter. You must do the same and put in on your blog, but you have to have a different answer than me!

Things (insert name here) Likes A-Z

Acrobatics

You!
Zoos!

Hmm, that only took one minute, what else can I do....

I could tell you about my day. I slept from 8:30am until 3:30pm. Then Chris came home and we hung out for a bit and caught up on life since I haven't seen him in what feels like days. Then we went to Target to get somethings for the work potluck (which I am missing!) and then to Applebees, yummy. Then I pretty much had to leave for work. Seriously, 12 hour shifts are for the birds. People like them because then you get one more day off a week, but then the days you are at work consume your life! At least when I work 3 days in a row 8-hour shifts I have the night or morning off! If I work a 12-hr weekend, I come home, go to bed, and come right back to work! Benefits of a 12-hour are less days and every 3rd holidays rather than every other. But another bad thing about 12-hours are the night shifts, if I switched to 12s, I'd have to do nights more often and then you all would have to listen to me whine about them!

Okay, well, I guess I now have about 5.5 hours left to do NOTHING!!! I have a bag of antibiotics to hang at 4:00, a pill to give at 6:00 and 7:00. Hahaha, if this floor only knew how busy they'd be on my floor...

Bye all you loves.

Humans are meant to sleep, I'm just sayin'...

Hello all. I wrote a long blog the other day and it got deleted, so I got angry and have not written for a while.I am currently at work, my overnight weekend. I have no meds to give until 2:45am, so here I sit at 2:01am. It's been pretty busy, but has now quieted down.

It's been a nice week. I had wed-fri off and did some fun things. I forget a lot of what I did, but I did start my honeymoon scrap book. It's turning out good, it's so nice to finally start it!On Mon/Tues. I watched Chris play softball for our church league. It was really fun to see him play. I've watched my dad play since I was like a baby, so it's fun to go watch my very own husband play too! Chris and I have taken up an interest in tennis. We went out and bought the cheapest Target rackets and have been playing a lot at the park near us. We're getting a little better, but by the time we're 50, we will be great!

Cara and I hung out a little. Can't remember when, but we went to the movie Georgia Rule and it was took, we also went to Bilotti's in the pouring rain and it was fun! Last night, Kelsey, Casey, and I went to Pirates of the Caribbean! It was good/confusing, over-all good though. After that we saw Kel's newly done kitchen. The cupboards are white and the floor is now wooden in appearance! It's beautiful and adds a good $10,000 to it's value (ahaha, I have no idea what I'm talking about) I just know it looks good! It was nice to hang out with the girlies and chit-chat. Casey drove me home and we rocked out to J-Timberlake, hahaha, it was f-u-n.

Keith, Chris' very good friend who was in Iraq during our wedding got to come home for 2 wks and today he and Chris hung out. I bearly saw Chris today, but I'm glad he got to spend so much time with his friend! It was nice to see Keith and hear stories. He's a mechanic near Bagdad. I told him I picture him in like a grass hut in the desert, but he said it's more like he's in a city, hehehe.

I tried to sleep in today, to prepare for tonight and then I hung with my fam. I watched a show about sharks with Dad and Gavin. Then Dad fixed my old bike and we took it to my place. Then I ate din with the fam. minus Brice, who was off galavanting. It was delish. Mom made hambergers and such. Thanks Mom! Then I had to go, to come here, to work. Bah.

I am proud of my brothers, they are newly employed. Brice has had difficulties finding the kind of job he wants in the citites, but just got employed by Jimmy Johns as a sandwhich artist!My baby brother Gavin just got his first job! I am proud to say I took him to his interview! He now works at Taco Bell-Pizza Hut, fondly referred to as Taco Hut. He look cool in the all black outfit. He had orientation Sat. morning and I think he starts a real shift on Wed!

I'm sure I'm leaving out important things, but my fingers can't type anymore.

I cannot wait for 7:30am so I can go home and SLEEEEEP!!!!!!

Love, Peace.

This blog is for my King

I am not skilled to understand, what God has willed, what God has planned.
I only know at His right hand, stands One who is my savior.

Christ died to save me this I read.
And in my heart I find a need, of Him to be my savior.

That He would leave his place on high,
And come for sinful men to die.
You count it strange so once did I.
Before I knew my savior

He who lives to be my king, once died to be my savior.

Thank you Jesus.

I'm So Proud of You!

My dear husband Christopher is done!!! He's done with the year of school and with RCTC. I'm just gonna say that he graduated with a 2 year associates degree from RCTC (even though he's one class short). However, that one class is not needed cuz he's transferring on to Ausberg this coming school year and when he's done, if all goes as planned, he'll have a bachelor's degree in Business/Finance. I'm so proud of my husband. He studies everyday, almost all night and sometimes early in the morning. He worked so hard and now he's getting his grades back and they are so good! It can be hard to see him work so hard when I don't have to do any studying anymore, but Chris rarely complains about it and just gets down to it. Way to go babe!!! I love you so much! And now, you have a nice break :) YAY!!!

Here's my boy in his spot, where he does the learnin'

The Day With My Mum

***Today was my day off after the weekend of work, which wasn't too bad after all.
***Today Mom and I went to Winona. After a visit to the bookstore (for reasons that shall remain secret) we went to the flower place near East Lake and I got some flowers for my place! We ate at Jefferson's and went to Rogan's shoes, Mom got sandals and I got much needed tennis shoes for 1/2 price (thanks Mom). We also went to Walmart there and got some gardening supplies for me, like a dandelion getter outer.
***We came back home and Mom helped me plant some flowers in the garden-ish area and in a pot. I'm not sure if I'm allowed to plant flowers here, since we don't own the yard, but I did it anyway, besides, I'm making to look better. I also put on my new pretty table cloth and the awesome watering can that Mom bought me when it caught my eye at Walmart! Mom started to get dizzy so she went home and I got out all the dandelions.
***Then, Dad called me and asked me to come stay with Mom while he and Gavin played church softball (they were both needed or they'd have to forefit!) He said he didn't want her to be alone, since she was getting super dizzy (vertigo) and seeing the room spin and throwing up! I hung out with her and over about 2 hours, she started to feel more normal. Poor Mama, I hope and pray she'll be okay now!
***Now I'm back home and talked to Chris for a bit, but he's working his booty off finishing up his last week of RCTC!!! He's got so much to study, so he's doin' that.
***Last Friday was pretty sweet. I went to Winona and met up with Casey and Amie and we went to watch Kelsey graduate (I did that one year ago now!). Afterwards we ate at Chula with her, Sharalyn (her mama) and Jeff (her husband). It was fun. Then, when taking Casey home, we both realized we had nothing to do. So, we hung out! We went to the mall and Casey let me pick out outfits for her. She ended up bying two! I felt like I was Stacey on What Not to Wear, minus the talant in fashion. But, we did good and Casey looks very cute as usual. She needed teaching clothes, so she let herself splurge a little. Then we went to her place and watched The Holiday.
***Welp, I shall now let ya see some pics....

Glorious Week

I have this whole week off, Mon-Friday. I won't go about explaining how that worked out, but it does have to do with the fact that I do work this weekend and bunch after that and I magically got Monday off. So, it seems like a dream come true, but I'll pay the price for it next week, oh well.

So, I have been keeping myself fairly busy. I've been exercising everyday, I scrap booked once, I cleaned, I went to see Heather and Casey in Winona, which was very fun, I hung out with Gran and Mom, and I'm sure I did some other things but I can't think of them. And of course, I got to see my very wonderful husband quite a bit. He's working hard, finishing up his last couple weeks, so he's studying a lot but we still have time to have fun together. We ate supper outside for the first time at our place last night. Susan gave us patio stuff so we ate out there, fun fun.

Yesterday, when visiting the girls in Winona, Heather asked me to be her Maid of Honor! I was very excited and honored of course and said of course! Heather, for anyone who doesn't know, has been my good friend since 9th grade and is getting married to Eric on March 15th 2008. She just got engaged a few weeks ago. Casey and I have decided we shall have a party for her in January, before Casey goes to Australia! G'day mate.

Oh, I also got to see my sweet little cousins Sam and Jensen this past weekend. They were staying at Gran's and I came and hung out with them. Well, Jensen got most of my time, we played hide and seek, doctor/surgeon (I taught her that it's important to ask about a living will and code status before surgery, heehee), chalk, computer puzzles, and other games in which she is the movie star/fashion star and I have to announce her coming out on stage, ehehe, she just never gets tired of it. I love spending time with them!

Welp, Cara's home from Cinncinatti and about to come pick me up for lunch, so I better get ready.

Love ya all.
