So ALOT has happened since I have last posted something. first off I PASSED BOARDS!!! And I am an official REGISTERED NURSE!!!! I have already worked 4 shifts with my preceptor. We have had pretty good patients but one crazy one!! But I am so glad to be getting this experience with someone with me and not when I am all by myself :)

Secondly, I GOT A NEW CAR!!! well not a new new car but a new car for me :) it's a Silver '07 Jeep Grand Cherokee. and I LOVE IT! I will have to post pictures very very soon!

ok all for now :)

So this month I am working the night shift and it has been going pretty good considering. But when I do work I feel like all I do is sleep and work, sleep and work. Because I feel that way I am glad that I only work 3 nights a week instead of 5 or I think I would feel like I could get NOTHING done all week long. Last night I worked my first 12 hour night shift. It wasnt too bad... actually kinda boring which made the night go by really REALLY slowy. But I was ok with it b/c tonight will be super busy.

I really need to work on our bedroom to make it darker. It makes it harder to sleep during the day when i can see the beautiful sun shiny in the windows. Thinking about using our tax return on blinds.. sounds exciting right?? not really but that is what happens when you get older and own a house, and I am ok with that.

Ryan and I are starting Weight Watchers again. I have gained all the weight I lost before our wedding and I don't like that at all. We are on week 2 and the first week I lost 1 pound and I am sticking to it pretty well this week. So I am hoping to loss way more when we weigh in on Thursday night. Ryan lost 4 pounds the first week.

So this weekend was CRAZY. Friday started with meeting at the hospital, then off to the flower shop to do a wedding since everyone else was working on Valentine's Day flowers. :) I really miss working there. Sometimes when I fill in there I think I picked the wrong profession but then I remember how there are long hours and I will be working on all major holidays. But then I remember that working at the hospital is the same way. So what to do. I guess I will fill in when I can at the flower shop.

After leaving the flower shop I came home and Kristin and I worked on food for Michelle's Baby shower. Which took way longer than we thought. :) But the cupcakes were way cute. Saturday morning was the Baby Shower. Lot lots of fun with great people.

I made letters for them to hang on Ethan's wall.

 

All the yummy food we made for the shower. 

Sunday helped Kristin wire her house for 3 zone system. Well i actually didn't help much Kristin and I just stood around for moral support. :) It was super cold but we had fun. Her house will be amazing when its done. Then we went to church in Owasso, which I am so excited about the new church. After church we went to Logan's for dinner. It was our kinda Vday dinner. 

I dont really like celebrating Valentine's mostly b/c I have worked at the flower shop for so long! So Ryan and I just went to dinner nothing fancy and I gave him a card and he made me a slide show. nothing special. I like random moments not ones that people say we are suppose to. 

Well this week is full of studying and nothing else. Sounds fun right?? not really... but it must be done....

So I am spending the night at the hospital. Should be interesting. I just keep reminding myself that I would rather do this than drive in it at 6 in the morning. I will miss Ryan though, I wish I could be home bearing the crazy weather with him, but I do need to work so this is best. :)

I will keep you up to date on the happenings at the hospital :) thats all for now..

I spent the whole day studying for NCLEX today. I took a break to go visit Michelle to give her the cute little shirts I got for Lilly and Baby Ethan. I got Lilly a big sister shirt and Ethan a little brother shirt. They are going to look so cute in their shirts together. I will post pictures after Ethan is born to show off their shirts. I finished Ethan's letter for his room and they look so cute!!!

I work tomorrow, hopefully, for the first time since the 11th. I was suppose to work last Monday but they didnt need me so I didnt have to go in. It is always nice but when I get my pay check it is not cool.

Worked on the office last night, which i am letting ryan do whatever he wants to do to that room. Ryan hung some shelves to put his baseball stuff on and a Red Sox picture. and some black curtains. It looks good :) He wants to paint it a gray like color and I think it will look good.

I haven't worked in a week and it is really weird. I like not working but I don't like it when my pay check comes. But I was suppose to work yesterday but they trimmed me so I didnt work. Next week I work 4 days, off on, and work 3 more days. I will be tired after that.

Working on Michelle's baby shower invitations. They are cute and I can't wait for the shower. It's going to be so much fun! The shower for Lilly was so much fun and we had clever little gifts for the guests but we dont have any for this one. I wish we could think of one. I am also working on letters for Ethan's room. I was told they were too girly. I hope they aren't that way. I think they are cute! Here is a picture of them, not done yet. :)
Here are some pictures of the decorations I have recently bought for the house and the arrangement I made for the wall.

I am heading to OKC tomorrow and I am SO EXCITED!! I get to see my friends from high school and room mates from college and go out for their birthday!

So I start my NCLEX review tomorrow. In a way it's going to make me feel like I am in school all over again, except it only lasts 4 days instead of a semester. I am waiting for reality to hit and me to realize I dont have school anymore. I feel like I am in this weird transition in my life. I am really going to be forced to be an adult now. I mean I have no more school to deal with, and I will have a for real big girl job. I think I am a little scared about it and that is why I feel so out of it lately.

I really need to work on the house. We still have tons of boxes and we have been here for a month and a half. I think this weird transition has resulted in laziness. Maybe I think if I dont do anything about it then I wont be forced to grow up. DOnt get me wrong I love my life with Ryan but i dont know.... I am rambling now about nothing...

I love my life and everything in it. I am so blessed with everything that i have been given :)
