An UPDATE? For REAL?

I know, I know.. this is crazy. I havent posted in here since, well, last chirstmas. It's sad. But I have an early new years resolution... & that is to keep everyone up to date on our crazy life as much as possible! I was inspired to update this baby when my sister-in-law posted a picture of her starting her new blog. I thought to myself... if she can do it and keep up on it so can I. So instead of going to bed like a normal person would do at midnight, Im going to capture a few moments of our adventures this past year.

As most of you know, I was accepeted into a nursing school in South Jordan, Utah. Its an 18 month bachelors program as well as a mastery program. Everything you do (exams, projects, papers, group work, etc,) has to be done with a 90% or better. Otherwise.. your nursing days at Roseman University are over. No big deal right? This school has been AWESOME and STRESSFUl and FUN and CRAZY and HARD and i could go on and on... it has given me a few grey hairs but so far it has totally been worth it. I wanted to go in to a program like this so that I could get done faster and Austin and I could finally live a normal married life after my graduation. Speaking of graduation.. did I mention i graduate June 7th!!?? Thats right, I am almost done with Nursing School!! Hallelujiah!!! I hate to say im counting down the days... because I have truly met some of the most amazing people in the last year. But i am so excited to finally say I am done with school!! For now anyways! :) This place has really been great. It has had its pros and cons but I can honestly say I am impressed with how things are turning out. I have met some of the greatest friends that I hope I can remain close to forever. Seriously though.,.. when you spend more time with your classmates then you do your own husband your bound to make close bonds with everyone! I am one lucky girl and I cant thank these girls enough for all they do for me! I have had many friends growing up and yet I feel like these girls have been with me forever! We had no problem reaching the stage where we could share anything and everything with each other! Lets just say... being a nurse and being comfortable with each other always makes for a good converstaion.

 

 



Another thing I love about my classmates is were all so close and we do so much together! Our adventures are something I will never forget and I cant wait to look back on all the fun times we have had throughout the program. Yes, believe it or not, you can still have fun while in nursing school.. It just comes after studying!! :) This was given to us by our favorite professor.. It couldnt be more true!

 

 

 Here are some pictures of just a few adventures of us busy nursing students. These have happened in the past year.. Thanks guys for making so many memories with me so far!!!

 

Nurses Rock... Just saying!
