Carving Pumpkins!

We had so much fun yesterday carving pumpkins as a traditional halloweenish activity. I am sad to say that this was my first time EVER carving pumpkins and it was so much fun! Mine is the smaller pumpkin on the right and Jerry's is the big pumpkin. Happy halloween everyone!

We just had some fun taking some new pictures of us :)

Post wisdom teeth and NICU clinical day

So.. I haven't written anything in a while so I thought I would take a minute and write a blurb about what's been going on with us. I have just been going to school and working (i know, really boring) and about the same with jerry. I did get my wisdom teeth taken out last week. For some reason I didn't think that it would hurt as bad as it did after the surgery. Crazy delusions I guess? I don't know. But everything is great now. I did my clinicals in the NICU (newborn intensive care unit for those of you non-medical people :) .. anyways. It was the coolest experience. I have enjoyed clinicals so far this semester. I mean, the not getting paid thing kind of sucks but, when you get to hang out with cute babies all day, why not? I had the best nurse to work with today and it was an awesome day! It is kind of coming to reality for me that I really only have six more weeks of class (not that I'm counting or anything) and then another semester and I will be able to take my state nursing boards and be done!? That's only 7 months and a couple days away! Crazy how life flies so fast at ya!

White scrubs, peanut butter, and crystal light?

White scrubs, peanut butter, and crystal light. That was how my morning began this morning. I started out with my completely white nursing school scrubs to go to clinicals this morning. It was a little early and so while preparing my water bottle of crystal light I splashed pink spots all over my scrub pants. Now, this was at five thirty AM and I really didn't have time to change. So, I thought I could deal with a few pink spots. Then, as I was getting into my car with my peanut butter english muffin I dropped a splotch of peanut butter on my pants. Great huh? I'm sure my patients will love that I have food all over me all day! So, in my head I thought, If this is an indication of how my day is going to be today I shouldn't have even gotten out of bed. So, after arriving to my assigned unit for the day my instructor found out that too many students had shown up today. I told her I would be happy to make her day easier and leave (not really I just said I would go home) and she said, OK. So, moral of the story, maybe spilling food all over white clothes helps you get to leave early from work/school? Who really knows, but it worked for me. So, I get the day off today, WOOHOO!

Sunday Drivin'

Today we went for a nice Sunday afternoon drive up on Cedar mountain. We drove past Navajo lake and up by Duck Creek lake. We had a nice little picnic and sat in the sun. The weather is so nice up there and it was perfect weather. The breeze made it a teeny bit chilly but other than that a perfect afternoon! We both love the outdoors so it was a perfect day.

First test of the semester!

I had my first test of the semester yesterday and I am so happy about how well I did! I was pretty stressed about it because I was really tired from all my clinicals and work and only really got to study in the evening of two days. The test was on a lot of OB and Mom and Baby stuff along with Psych. Anyways. I got a 90% (that means I only missed 5 questions!!!) and they are probably going to add more points because one of the questions wouldn't let you pick the correct answer. So I got an A on my first test! Yay for me! :) 

Congratulations Baby

So, Today in the mail we received a letter for Jerry. We were so excited when he opened it up and found his Associate of Science Degree certificate. I am so proud of him and he has worked so hard to get this done. He is so awesome! Sometimes it's really hard to work full time and go to school full time. I am so proud of you honey!
