Is it Fall yet?!












I think I am done with this hot weather here in Arizona...its September, officially fall time and its still summer waether. I hope it cools down soon!
Anyways, I have been pretty busy lately with school and the wedding planning! We are getting married Jan. 29 and I am so excited! It has been fun and a bit stressful but I can not wait! I know it will be here before we know it but it seems like forever away haha!
This summer I worked back up in Colorado as a horse back riding counselor. It was tough but I enjoyed being up there and closer to Chris. I learned alot about horses and riding this summer! It is so beautiful in the summer time with the mountains and green grass! I love it and after the wedding I am moving up there. We also took some engagement pictures this summer around the lake. We had a couple take our pictures that have a photography business up there. We had a great time taking them. Those are some of the pictures that were taken. Also, one of our good friends that we met last summer, saw our engagement pictures and sketched a picture of it.It was a engagement gift and we had no idea she was drawing it. She is an artist and did such a great job. I posted her drawing and the picture that she sketched it from. We were so grateful for that! It is hanging in Chris's house right now.
School is going well! It is my last semester and I am soooo glad! I am ready to graduate! This semester we have clinicals in critical care. I have been in ICU and cardiac ICU. It is a great experience but a little overwhelming. People are not doing well in there and it is hard sometimes to control your emotions because you feel so empathatic for them. In a few weeks, I will be done with that rotation and start a preceptorship to finish out the semester. I have the opportunity to follow a nurse in Labor and Delivery at Banner Desert for a month. I am really excited about it because this is the section of nursing that I am so interested in.
So next weekend I head up to Colorado to visit Chris for the weekend. I miss being up there so much and him, that it will be an excellent weekend! Also, the aspen trees up there are starting to change colors and Chris said I will be there just in time for them to be in full color. I have heard that they are so beautiful!
Life is so good right now and I know it just keeps getting better!!
