Better than Yesterday: 2010

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!!!

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
