My nursing school pinning ceremony was awesome. Mostly because I am officially a graduated nurse. I am so glad that my family got to be there and join in the celebration.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here are some random’s they took, probably while waiting patiently through all the extra crap that graduation ceremonies consist of.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And then there was actual graduation.

I almost didn’t go to graduation, but I’m so glad I did. I sure am going to miss seeing my peeps every day. Thank you to everyone who supported me through these past three years. School was tough, but it has all paid off in the end. I love you guys!!

so sorry.

yeah so i haven’t blogged in forever. i am about to graduate peeps. i would like to officially name last week “the week from hell”. but here i am on the other side… still alive… and participating in one of my favorite past-times… blogging. my whole family is coming to teeny tiny midland to join in the festivities of next week. i am so super excited to see everybody, and have everyone actually see where i live. yeah i know, (mom and dad), ya gotta go where the grandkids are. i can’t supply those yet.

i took a test last week called “the comprehensive predictor”. it is a predictor for how well we graduate nurses will do on the state boards. i dominated. in fact, my instructor told me that she has only seen a score that high one other time in her career. boo yah.

that is the update for now. i leave you with a picture of the cutest baby on the planet.

ecstasy.

james thinks i’m funny

one of our many goals in life is to not laugh at each other. i don’t know why we do this, but it makes those times when we actually do laugh that much funnier. we also use the comedic rule of three. you’ve never heard of this?? well, you’re welcome, i may have just changed your life. i was on a role yesterday. we were driving in the car and listening to the new weezer album (which by the way is totally awesome). we were stopped at a light and i decided that i wanted to make james laugh. so i commenced raising the roof like a total dork. he didn’t laugh at first, obviously, so i just kept going. i knew that he would laugh if i did it long enough. with each passing second my moves got a little more rhythm-less and my face got a little bit uglier. success.

then the rapping started (what? rap in a weezer song, preposterous!) and i (of course) rapped all the words like a pro. i even got the gangsta hand movements down to a science. i wasn’t even trying to make james laugh, but i guess i am just so naturally hilarious.

comedic rule of three: do or say anything three times = laughter. really, try it.

she doesn’t know whether to laugh or cry

rrrrrroad trip

we drove to houston yesterday.  we love to take any opportunity possible to see family, and this weekend we both have time off from work and school. so we drove… all eight hours. i decided to take a picture for every hour. you can tell that i became more and more delirious as time went on.

2:30 pm- just about to leave, james being a dork

 3:30 pm- he was snoring

4:30 pm- he finally woke up, now i can rock out to la musica

 5:30 pm-the delirium is starting

6:30 pm- getting sick of driving, time to switch

 7:30 pm- that’s better, james only closed his eyes for the split second that the flash went off

 8:30 pm- i wanted to be cool and close my eyes too

 9:30 pm- full on delirium

we made it safe and sound and are enjoying our weekend!
