BSN - RN

So I have officially graduated with my Bachelors of Science in Nursing from the University of Utah!! The last two years of my life have included some of the most rewarding, challenging and crazy experiences that I've ever had. When I look further back than that, the last 5 years of me planning, working and doing everything I could to become a nurse has really given me a new definition to my list of qualities: Mom, Friend, Daugther, Sister, and now Nurse.

Oh for the love

So, maybe I just update this thing once a year?!!?? Now I really know that I've gone head over heels on FB. But while I often update on there about how I'm feeling for the moment, I notice that I don't say ALOT of other things. Like, Marc and I are getting divorced. Idk, that just seems way to huge to post as a status update. I can't believe that yet another year has passed and once again I find my life has completely changed!! I'm graduating (!) in less than two weeks, Adam and I moved out of the condo and into our new apartment almost two months ago. So perhaps, I should really use this forum to say all things I can't say on FB. Then that way I can get things off my chest and not worry about how many "likes" or crazy comments I'll get. I'm sure I can find things to talk about: being single again, looking for a grown up RN job, having a son who will be 18 in a few months, my cat. Yeah, this blog will rock ;)

Well, two years later and I'm not a very good blogger. I have to admit to having succombed to the charms of FB. It's just so easy.
I'm finishing up my first year of nursing school and it has been quite the adventure. I'm really looking forward to summer vacation; not because I don't like school, I love it. I just really miss feeling rested! I've made some fantastic friends this year, who have totally helped me maintain my sanity.
Marc and I just celebrated our one year wedding anniversary! In May, we will have been together for 5 years. Where does the time go?
So, I will really try to be better at this, really...really.

Long lost blog

So, I hadn't realized that it had been so long since I had posted. I guess that's what happens when you don't have a computer at home. Things are going well, just enjoying this beautiful hot weather. Went to the 311 show on Monday and it was AWESOME!!! They played alot of their old stuff and we danced like nobody's business. I am starting to feel my age a little thought, instead of being sore for just one day, I'm going on day three of soreness :) Oh well, all in the name of having fun. I'm already getting excited for school to start next semester (I know, what a nerd right?) I'm taking physiology & the next spanish class. But what is so exciting is that this will be the last semester before I apply to nursing school in January. Yeah!!! After working towards this goal for the last two and half years, I can't believe I'm getting that much closer to being in nursing school.
Anyway, Happy Fourth of July!!!

Save Gas, Drive a Scooter!

So, for those of you who don't know, my sweetie Marc got me a scooter for Christmas. Of course we had to have the longest winter EVER before I could really start driving around, but now that spring, oops, I mean summer is finally here I have been driving like nobody's business. Let me tell you, it rocks!!! Scooters are so much fun. Here is the best part I get like 50-60 miles per tank (which is just over a gallon). How sweet is that?!? I still need to get some pictues posted up of me on my sweet ride. Then everyone will be uber-jealous. I also would like to start a scooter club. I have a couple of friends that ride and I think it would rock if we all went riding together, you know like those harley bikers that ride two-deep. Except we wouldn't be wearing leather and we're alot cuter.
Ok, carry on :)

Technology is a beautiful thing

So yesterday I got a message from my dad saying "join my facebook group". Now there are a few reasons that this is so exciting for me. First off, how fun that my Dad has a facebook page! I love that he is starting to embrace this whole "internet" thing. Just kidding, he is awesome with emailing people but cummon, facebook?? :) Secondly, as I'm joining his page I realize that my older brother has his own website (complete with awesome dancing pictures) and my younger brother even has an email address much less a facebook page. I'm just learning so much about my family, unreal.
Anyhoo, today is a great day in the SLC. It's hot, sunny and perfect scooter riding weather. I guess I'll have to get on the BALL and post pics on all my spots. K, more later.

I got A's!!!

Woo-Hooo! Received an A in bio-organic & and A in Spanish. I'm off for summer vacation! Scooter rides, camping, Gallivan concerts....oh yeah and some work in there.
Enjoy the sunshine!
