3 down, 1 to go

I have been in nursing school for 3 semesters and I have 1 left. I never thought I would get to this day. I remember just finishing my first semester and thinking that it is going to be a longggg 2 years. Thank goodness I have met some really great people that have helped me through. Also my friends and family have helped out as well. And a BIG shout out to my fiance Chris for supporting me and telling me that I was going to make it threw when I thought I couldn't go any farther.

I have learned so many things and got to have some great experiences. I am excited for my next semester because it is filled with practice tests, ICU expereience, job hunting, and an externship. Plus some wedding planning in there too haha!

These are just some pictures of this past semester. I had clinical classes in Pediatrics, Labor and Delivery, and Community Health. I now have some great stories to tell and new skills.

On to Colorado on Wednesday for camp and Ill be back in August! Have a great summer!

He got down on one knee.....

AND PROPOSED! Chris asked me to marry him on May 1st. The best day of my life! Here's the story:

I flew into Colorado for the weekend before finals to be with my love before I became overly stressed with school..Saturday morning was cold (like 25 degrees) and snowy and Chris wanted to go for a walk by this certain lake. Lily Lake is where we first knew we were falling in love with each other during the summer time so it was a really special place. I was a little bit confused as to why he was so persistant on going to walk in the freezing weather. But I went with it because I was bundled up and ready to go. We were driving to the lake and Chris was all smiley and giddy and I was like hm...he really wants to get to this lake. Then we both got out of the car and walked around the lake when not even 50ft Chris slips and falls on the ice and pulled me down with him!!! (He will try to say we both fell, but I am pretty sure he pulled me :) ) So we laughed for a little but and kept on walking....we finally got to the bench where we sat for a while and talked about everything (it was the same bench we sat at during the summer and chatted forever)..He stood up after a bit and I stood up and he told me to SIT DOWN...I was like geezeeeeeeee mister! And he gave his speech on how much he loves me and wants to be with me forever and all the romantic stuff that I just ate up and then he got down on one knee and asked me to MARRY HIM!!!! Of course I said yes but he didnt hear it right away and after I put the ring on and gave him lots of kisses, he said, "That was a yes right?" Silly Chris, I love you!!!! It was a magical weekend and one that I will never forget! I LOVE MY FIANCE!

Now that school is done (YAY) I can get to planning a little more of the details of the wedding...I am still going up to Colorado for the summer to work at camp but we have started to look at reception sites and looking into churches. We are hoping to get married in January after I graduate in Mesa. I am so HAPPY!!!!! This is just a wonderful time in life and i am so excited :)
