Need to laugh?

I don't know what it is about these goats and the men's story but I was laughing out loud watching it. I am right now in the airport and laughing out loud is a little awkward when people are looking at you but whateverrrr...I kind of want one of these goats :)

Check out this great MSN Video: Fainting Goats!

Gentlemen, start your engines!

Yes, I went to a Nascar Race! Chris was in town and so was Nascar and I know how much he loves going to them so I bought tickets and we went on Saturday. It was a nice day with a little cool breeze but once you get down to that track, it gets HOT! The track itself was 113 degrees! Thats like summer weather! We ended up having a great time and got some pretty cool looking hats (picture below :) ). It was a late afternoon race so by the time the sun was setting, it started to get pretty chilly. I was sweating on the walk to the track that I figured I didn't need a jacket! But around 7, I needed it! It was a great race though! I had to convince myself that I didn't need a huge bag of kettle corn...the smell was delicious but I already consumed alot of snacks already. So I focused my hunger for kettle corn on studying. Yes, I know it is very lame but I had a test on Monday and I knew it was going to be tough..So like a nerd, I whipped out my notes and studied while cars flew by me at 130 mph. I got some funny looks but hey, I was being a good student. All in all it was a great Saturday to spend with Chris and we loved every mintue of it!

On a side note, guess who is finished with school in 3 weeks?!?! ME! I am done May 7th and I am soooo excited! I am glad this semester flew by! I am ready to begin my last semester of school even though it will come with more stress and work, I will all be worth it because I will be graduating!!! I am finishing up my Labor and Delivery rotation and I LOVE it! I hope to get to do more of it next semester when we get to choose where we want to be placed! So my fingers are crossed!! HAPPY ALMOST SUMMER!

Visit to the Midwest!

For Spring Break, I went to meet Chris's family in Indiana. It was the first time to meet them and then the first time I have been to the midwest. So here is the start...my flight was at 140am..Yes AM! It was so early and the airport was literally dead. That was nice though. I pretty much slept the whole flight to Minneapolis..well as much as you can sleep on an airplane haha. Then I took my connection flight to Indiana. I was so happy to finally get where I was supose to go. It was a long flight. Luckily, none of my flights were very delayed. Chris and I got to do alot of thing around his town of Bloomington. He got sick while we were there so it was a bummer but he toughened it out and still made it a great week! It was great to meet his family, they are super nice and really easy to talk to. I got to see many of the places that Chris's use to go and hangout. We went and saw Alice and Wonderland 3d (pretty cool) and got to tour Indiana University's Athletic department. We went to many small towns and walked around their downtown into their cute little shops. And I found out that I LOVE the Wii! There are so many fun games to play and we played for a while! All in all I had a wonderful time! It was relaxing and laid back, which is what I needed. It was so nice to take a break.

Here are just a few pictures from the trip!

She is a married girl now!!

Cami Nielsen! She got married to a wonderful man last night! The reception was amazing and she looked beautiful! It was a great day and I know they are truly happy and love each other sooo much (you can just see it in their faces--so cute!) Thanks for always being a great friend to me Cami, I know I can always count on you!

CONGRATS AMMON AND CAMI! Best wishes in your new step in life!

Goodbye PCH!

I just finished my last rotation at Phoenix Children's Hospital. It was such an amazing experience and I loved getting to play with all the kids! I really enjoy working with the kids and they had some great stories. At first it was a little hard seeing them in the hospital with all these tubes and crying. But knowing that I was helping them get better made it a lot easier. I see a future for me in Pediatrics but we shall see!!!

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 :)
