My first photo shoot!!!

Kristen, Tanya, & Jason are some great friends that I have known for quite some time now. They are graduating this year and considering I needed practice and they needed pictures, LOL, we thought it would be fun to go on campus and get some shots. It turned out to be a lot of fun and I am pretty happy with what I got! I wish Meg could have been there with me...can't wait until we can do a shoot together! Photoshop was a little bit of a struggle but I'll figure it out!

Almost there!


























So I have one day of clinicals left...EVER...and only one semester left of nursing! I am now just that much closer to being where I want to be. I cannot wait to finally be a nurse in the NICU and be apart of saving babies lives...I cannot wait to be apart of something bigger and giving back to the community! Random but I just thought I'd share:-).

Funniest Thing!

So I was talking to the lady I nanny for about how darn smart little kids are. Her 4 year old son always says the darndest things and this one I just had to share! The mom was driving with the little boy in the backseat..and the little boy pointed to something outside the car and said "Look Mom! It's the money you could be saving with Geico!"!!! He was pointing to this billboard! OMG, I couldn't stop laughing when she told me this...HILARIOUS!

Meg and Mark's Wedding!!!

My BEST FRIEND did it! She finally tied the knot after 7 long years, LOL! Their wedding was absolutely gorgeous and I am so thankful I was able to share in the day! My speech went well...I shed only a few tears but I can't say so much for the rest of the day...I had tears streaming during the ceremony and of course during her father's speech! It was an amazing day and I am so happy that they are husband and wife!!!

Unfortunately I ended up getting sick after the weekend of fun :-(. I have been out of commission since Sunday and it has not been fun! I am now finally starting to feel better thankfully! I go back to clinical tomorrow so we will see how it goes...now I just have to figure out how to finish all the work I got behind on. Didn't know you could get so behind in 3 days!

New Car!


This isn't exactly "new" news but about a month ago now we got a new used car! I was driving on a major road here in Tucson when the Rio died on me and I had to be pushed into a parking lot! A few days later we found out that the engine was completely done and it was going to cost more to fix it than the car was worth!!! I said NO WAY...not for a freaking Kia! It just wasn't going to be worth it and so the hunt began for a used car that was going to last us a very long time. After a few days we came across an ad on Craig's list for a 2004 Civic Coupe with only 26,000 miles on it! We thought it may be too good to be true but went to check it out anyways. In the end it turned out that the guy owned a very nice art gallery on 4th ave, had art work from people in Architecture in there, and even had his house built by Brant's new firm! Talk about a small world! Brant's dad was very kind to offer to help us with it and we were able to get it! It is only a VP (value package) meaning it came bare bones and is a stick shift with manual locks and windows but it is 1,000 times better than the Rio so I couldn't complain, LOL! We ended up putting an alarm on it, made the locks power, and tinted the windows. I now want to keep it forever! I was going to get a new car after graduation but I love this one so I hope it lasts for many years:-)! The pic isn't our exact car but you get the idea...hopefully ours will soon have a spoiler too;-)...but I have to get Brant and Mark to agree to put it on! Brant keeps making fun of me and telling me it doesn't do anything...but I always tell him that it makes the car so CUTE:-)!

Meg's Bachelorette Party!

So this weekend we had Meg's bachelorette party...it was AMAZING! So relaxing and best of all Meg was happy:-)! We went to Sundrops Nail Spot in Scottsdale, Paradise Bakery for lunch, checked into the Intercontinental Montelucia Resort & Spa, and then went to dinner at the Yard House and a few clubs all on Saturday! On Sunday we slept in a little and then hung out by the pool the rest of the day. It was perfect!
