Can you say SNOW?!



After being in the sunshine for so long, you kind of forget how cold other places can really be. While I was up in Colorado, they had a TON of snow..Over a foot in one day! It never stopped! I was able to help Chris feed the horses on saturday morning and my pants were covered in snow up to my shins, which made it even colder on my legs. It was really fun though getting to feed with him. So obviously on Saturday, we had a movie day complete with a fire, hot cocca, and lots of blankets. I really do love the snow so much, I just need to get my Arizona blood use to it. Here are some pictures of our infamous snow day and some of the horses just messing around!
Also, on Sunday before I left we stopped in town because there was a dog pull competiton going on. I have never been to one and thought it was pretty interesting! Some of the dogs pulled up to a thousand pounds. They just hook them up to a sleigh and put weight on the back...And we all know that dogs can be pretty stubborn sometimes and it was funny to watch the dogs just lay down or let out a pathetic little bark right after they got hooked to the weight. It was too funny!
P.S. sorry, some of the pictures are out of order and looks like they were thrown every where haha...im still getting back into the hang of the whole blog thing

I'm Back!

I'm back to the blogging world! All fall I have been looking at everyone's blogs wondering why I deleted mine. So here I am!

I started my senior year in January! It is so exciting to be done soon.. This semester I am working in the pediatric unit in Phoenix Children's and in community health, I am in a homeless shelter. Both these experiences have opened my eyes and I have learned alot! I really love nursing and can't wait to be a real nurse someday!

SOOOO right now I am Colorado visiting Chris, my boyfriend. It was sad that we couldn't spend Valentine's day together but I was coming up for a 4 day weekend starting Wednesday night. He sent me a Vday package in the mail and it made me soo happy! He is so great! Then, when we got home from the airport last night, there were pink rose petals all throughout the house, leading to a beautiful arrangement of roses. It was so sweet and I was so surprised. He is an awesome guy and I can't wait to spend this wonderful weekend with him :)
