Nursing School - Day 1

WOW! It's so crazy to think that I've finally started! After 3 1/2 long years of waiting I'm finally one day closer to being done. It was so nice sitting in my classes and knowing that everything that was being talked about I actually needed to know. Unlike all those pre-req classes that you have to take that you don't really care about and thinking "when am I ever going to use this" and "I don't really care about this".

A cute lady in my class made everyone in our class bookmarks with a "feel good" quote. It is something I'm going to carry with me everywhere and possibly make multiple copies of just to have!

"You will be mentally stressed. You will be emotionally challenged. You will learn how to work together. You will learn to work alone. You will learn when to speak. You will learn when to be silent. You will learn when to lead. You will learn when to follow. You will be constructively criticized. You will be praised. You will shed a few tears. You will share in each other's laughter. You will learn the need to help each other. You will learn to help yourself. You will learn to be part of a group. You will learn to be yourself - an individual. You will learn responsibility. You will learn discipline. You will learn these things because someday someones life will depend on you.

You are a nursing student. You will graduate.

You will be in all its wonder and glory, a Nurse."

-Anneliese Garrison, RN,

"You are a Nursing Student"

Our Love Story....

Nate and I met back in 2004 when I asked him to my shcool's Halloween Dance and I guess I impressed him a little more than I thought I would. We went through a lot during our dating years but we were somehow always able to get through everything and knew we always would. Nate Proposed to me on November 17, 2007 at the Roof Restraunt and I was shocked. Definately not expecting it that night. We were sealed for time and all eternity almost 4 months later on March 13, 2008. We couldn't have picked a better day. We were one of only 8 other couples there that day so we had a lot of time and I got treated like a princess! Everone was so nice! It rained quite a bit during our pictures and reception and it was pretty cold outside but I was told that rain on your wedding day is good luck! That was the best day of our lives up to this point!

I realized just after our first anniversary that people weren't kidding when they said the first year is the hardest! It definitley wasn't easy but we learned so much about each other and ourselves that it was also a great year! We got our first house in October 2008 and Nate surprised me with our first little one, Chloee a golden lab, on Christmas Day 2008. We had a lot happen our first year of marriage and knew that the years to come would bring more happenings.

We just celebrated our second anniversary. Who would have thought that our second year of marriage would have brought what it did! We were blessed with our first child, a healthy beautiful baby boy, on February 26, 2010. The day he was born was the second best day of our lives! He has already brought so much joy to our lives in the little time that we have had him.
