WERE BACK!!!!!!!!!!

oh wow. Okay so I am of course terrible at this blog thing (as I am sure you have noticed). I tried the website thing, but you all know how cheap I am and unwilling to pay for a domian name, so when i got the free one, it cancelled on me due to lack of hits. BOOOOOO!!! oh well it is what it is. so i figured why not Vloging??? maybe try that out, so that will be my next attempt at keeping a blog as cutting pasting pictures and typing is giving me carple tunnel. lol. but for now just want to let you know whats been going on since oh i dunno MAYYY>>??? has it really been that long?? well yes i believe it has. crazy! so heres a little update. GRADUATED NURSING SCHOOL!!!! amazing right?? never thought the day would come and even better.....passed my boards with flying colors, so you are now looking at Arizona's newest RN!!! yup thats right! now to find a job, thats actually why i am getting back to blogging, I have been applying for jobs left an right and have gotten nothing but rejection letters back but thats ok I am remaining optimistic and know the perfect job is out there waiting for me, i just have to find it. So I have a LOT of free time these days, and let me tell you I am not really used to it. I am constantly trying to fill my days up with as much stuff as possible. cleaning organizing and going to the gym have become my staples until I find a job. so yes that does indeed give me time for a blog, amazing right??? well i am working on a video for this to just kinda keep you updated on how things have been for shaun and I and I will link it once its finished, Just a little update :) so till then love you and see you soon!!

Schools out for summer!!

Holy wow! i made it through the HARDEST semester ever and guess what.....FINALLY got my A that i have been trying for for the past year. I had some amazing experiences this semester, learned more in the last 16 weeks than in a entire year ( i told you t was a crazy semester) and as far as figuring out where i belong in the nursing world, i know now for sure that Obstetrics is definitely for me, maybe one day ill even get my nurse midwife but for now being and L&D nurse is what i want to do for sure. Enough about school i don't want to bore you with all the bloody details ( and believe me OB is a bloody unit;) Shaun has been amazingly supportive as always but especially this semester, my long 10 hours study sessions and group study days before the final he was super understanding and helpful. anyways aside form school we haven't done much, actually for spring break we took a trip to sedona which was absolutely beautiful and as always extremely rejuvenating, we even made friends with some crazy ducks who i will post video of once i upload everything to the computer (as i said i have serious catching up to do). lets see what else......we recently went home for my godsons 5th birthday party wow cant believe they are 5 already, how quickly the time goes!! we FINALLY landscaped the back yard and like i said i will post pics of that too soon as it truly has become our little oasis in the desert (love love love the green grass!). as for the summer plenty of fun times await us and i will be better about blogging now that the semester is over i promise! as for now Im finally catching up on all the housework that i have put off for soo long due to the demands of the semester. more to come i promise!!!

On to Round Three

Okay, so I apparently suck at this blog thing too. Soo sorry it has been forever since We've posted anything. Thanksgiving, Xmas and New Years and now Valentines day have all passed, and so we have a lot of updating to do, so here it goes! Thanksgiving was very low key since we dont have any family out here we celebrated with surrogate family instead, our friends! which was wonderful, food friends and lil twilight new moon action, yes I forced shaun to watch with me but he didnt mind since we went in large group of friends so actually us girls were out numbered believe it or not. CRAZY i know. OH and shaun is now team edward, he would kill me for saying so but its true, he did like new moon. shhhhh dont tell him i told you;)
Not too much else exciting happend i finished out block 2 with a 91.6% grade which in the nursing program is 0.4% away from an A:( so yes i got a B. A very high B. Im just happy to be over the hill and more than halfway there to be honest. We spent Xmas with my Dad and his "lady friend" Sally, and we had a lot of fun especially with the gag gifts he got us on xmas eve, and then we spent the day with shaun's parents which was fun too. So we were ony able to come home for two days but hey it was realy nice to spend xmas in San Diego this year, visiting candy cane lane and drinkin hot cocoa in the CLMNT square starbucks we realized how far we had come in the last 6 years. New years was great, yet another spent with our surrogate AZ family (most of whom are all from SD so it was a lil like home;). And then it was back to School for me, Block 3. All I can say is that this is the hardest semester I have had yet, i feel like iam drowning to be honest, its a lil scary. Hopefully it will come and go just as fast as the others did. Although I find the content fascinating it is all obstetrics and PEDS, so i love it. So needless to say Shaun and I are once again like two ships passing in the night but he is sooo supportive of everything, which is really amazing. He actually went to his brother Chads wedding in Winter Park Colorado which looks like it was AMAZING!!! *love you chad and Ashley!!* I so wish I could have been there, but had to stay behind for clinical lab since it was only 3 days back into school:(. So now here we are at Valentines Day, studying and putting a PP presentation together on how to choose a pregnancy provider and working on a care plan. But Shaun being the amazing husband that he is got me the best Vday gift EVER!!! not one but TWO D&G perfumes that I absolutely love, and out for a lil date today!! So needless too say things have been quite hectic around here, I feel like the days blur together, and i just keep having to affirm it will all be worth it in less than a year I will be able to hopefully be working as a Real Nurse. I am trying extremely hard to get the best grades possible to not only transfer to get my BSN once graduation comes but to also be able to choose a speciality for my preceptorship next fall in block four, so wish me luck as I hit the books way hard core this semester, this one will be the hardest yet. heres some photos: Clincal Group Last Day Celebrating After Bloc 2 Nursing Final on Mill Ave photobucket.com/albums/tt11/ladyc0214/finals7.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket">Xmas New Years XMAS New Year, New Hair

Its been a while and needless to say Nursing school is kicking my butt, these 12 hour clinical days require a entire day of recovery after, not only for the physical part but the mentally and emotionally draining part. All I have left in the way of exams is a final and two projects coming due end of this month and I can hardly believe it , block 2 is almost over!!! amazing, it went by so quick and this rate i will have my RN in no time then it is on to ASU's BSN fast track program. Nuts. So halloween was fun, lil kids are so cute all dressed upI also took a trip to Houston for my future Sister In law's Bachelorette party which was SO MUCH FUN!!!:) I love going places Ive never been and the south is an expierence!! (even though i could only stay for 2 days:()so much good food and good people. Shot outs to CHUY's tex mex grill and their AMAZING green sauce;) not to mention the 3 dollar margaritas!!!YUM is all I have to say!!But other than school and work for shaun life hasnt been too much of anything else these days. But i really must say i am excited to finally be a nurse, im loving all I am learning and at times it is overwhelming, i know it will be well worth it. Heres a couple songs that have been on a constant rotation in the ipod to keep me going:) Matt and Kims song Daylight is upbeat and fun and is really one to play in the morning to get you going:Daylightand then there is Miike Snows Sylvia which is a beautiful song all around.Sylvia and of course something to shake your booty too; David guetta feat Akon Sexy bitch:)SexyBitch

Halfway there!! well, almost.....

They say you should continue to work on things you are good at when in nursing school becuase, well lets face it, nursing school can make you feel really stupid sometimes, and well you need to keep your sanity and maintain some self confidence, so i am relying on two things these days # 1 : running (can't screw that up right?) #2 : music, mixing it and remixing it. So from time to time i will post some of my projects on here for DL if you wanna hear em. Heres one I have been working on:BeautifulHeartbeat
So according to my sylabus, I officially only have 9 more classroom days of block two, wich to most wouldnt sound so bad, but considering we get about two-three class days of material to study in one day its crazy. Cinical rotations are about to begin starting monday with our alternative clinical with creepy simulation maniquian and creey simulation instructor to boot....although there are only 3 days of that then its good by dolls and hello to real live sick people!!!WOO HOO!! Off to the hospital. Hopefully this time around I will be able to follow into a sugery of some kind and watch the magic happen so fingers crossed!!
Needless to say Ive been studying my booty off and its only about to get crazier as we begin rotations. Shaun has also been working his booty off too pulling long days and getting in as much sleep as possible when he can. Lately we are kind of like two ships passing in the night, just have to keep telling ourselves it will all be worth it in the end. We are getting into the thick of it this year so its not gonna be easy, but hes a really good sport, he lets me lecture him about patho and disease to facilitate my learning and he says by the time im done with school he will probably be able to pass the NCLEX too lol. I know he's gotta be so over hearing about nausea and vomiting, costipation, and bowel obstructions, hypo and hyper volemia and what to do in the face of an MI from the nurses standpoint, but hey, he never shows it! Hope everyone is having a great week and enjoy the tune below,this one is great for a midweek pick me up. Its Steve Aoki's remix of Gifted, got a little something for everyone, a lil kanye(cause that guy in small doses is all I can stand) sprinkled with a lil santo gold, a dash of lykke li and some fresh electro beats.Enjoy!:)

Welcome to our Blog!

This is an attempt by Shaun and I to yes, you guessed it, Jump on the blog wagon. We figured that with the way life has been lately (pretty crazy these days, with nursing school for me and Shaun working hard so I can be in nursing school) that it might be beneficial to start one of these things so that we could keep people updated with what we have been doing since we live so far away and it seems to be harder and harder to keep in contact with those near and dear to us. Also just a place to voice opinions about daily happs and give you a little insight into our world. So here it is ! hope you enjoy it feel free to subscribe, as you will get updates whenever we, well, update I guess:) love you!!
