We are packing for our cruise! YEAH!!! Our first cruise, and we're excited. And it's a trip with my parents/almost our 1st anniversary trip! Yeah! And we're going kayaking and snorkeling!

24/7 Entertainment

Toby found the doorstop. We just had to record it.

Back to Work...

Well, I had an amazing 7 days off to just be at home with Nathan and Toby (our puppy). I had a great time, and I'm excited to have some more time off soon! I am working today and tomorrow, and then I'm off again until Wednesday. I could get used to this! Being home with Nathan reminds me how very thankful I am for him! I know some people couldn't be at home for 7 days straight without killing each other... haha! I love it :) Now just waiting for this afternoon to roll around so I can head back to Newnan. After today, only 8 more days here at the office. Kind of crazy! I've been here for 4 1/2 years! It's become second-nature to drive down here and work, and now I'll be driving the other direction to Atlanta!

In other news... we booked our cruise! I'm so excited! Our first cruise! I know I will have tons of amazing pictures to post of that.

And... we're going to the Keith Urban concert Saturday! Definitely excited about that. Excited about what this summer holds... Back to work...

A Month to Celebrate!

Nathan and I have been so busy but so great! Nathan is finishing up his last day today before his whole summer off! He's so ready for the summer break, and I'm ready for him to be home with me! I'm only working half weeks in LaGrange, and my last day down there will be June 30th! I'm so excited to start at Egleston. My orientation at Egleston starts July 20th! Now that things have slowed down a little, we got a puppy! We actually got him on Memorial Weekend, and we named him Toby. He is so cute and fun, and we are loving him!

I am done with all things college... except taking boards for my nursing license! We had our pinning ceremony on May 14th and graduation on May 16th. Both were amazing, and I can't believe I'm done. We spent that weekend at some friends' lakehouse in LaGrange who were oh so generous to let us stay there. We had pinning Thursday night, play day at the lake on Friday, graduation Saturday morning, and some more playing at the lake Saturday afternoon. It was so much fun, and I have a ton of pictures! Here are some from the lake, graduation, pinning, and of Toby!

Great Day!

Today was fabulous. I took my last final, all my grades are in, and it's official - I'm graduating! I knew when it was "official" it would hit me, and it certainly has! I feel so blessed and overwhelmed and excited all at the same time. And as if the day wasn't good enough already I found out I got a job! And not just any job, the one I wanted! It's on the unit where I did my practicum at Egleston, and I couldn't be more excited! I loved that unit, and I was definitely hoping for a job there. Everyone on the floor was so great, and I am excited to work with them soon! To top it all off, I got to come home to my amazing hubby! (who is cooking dinner for me as I type) He's the best! And, no I'm not biased :) He is so great to me, and I am blessed. Wow... what a great day!

I'm sure I'll be getting on here and posting some pics from pinning and graduation soon!

New Addition :)

So, this weekend we added a new addition to our family... a puppy! We went to look at the girl puppy, and fell in love with this little guy. He is a Westie/Schnauzer mix, and he's adorable. Here's are some pictures:

We especially love his one little white paw, and he has white on his tummy too. This weekend was also great because my mom came down for the weekend! Greg was able to come yesterday too and surprise her for mother's day. She was so happy to have all her kids together at the same time. She went to church with us this morning, and then we all went to make our first trip to Petsmart :) We got a crate, some toys, and couple other things. He will be 8 weeks on Memorial Day weekend, so we are going to get him then. And that works out great for me because I need to get through finals and graduation first! Procrastinating now... as you can see. I'm ready for finals to be done, and we're all ready for a graduation weekend! I'm going to go get back to studying.... taking joy in the fact that these are the LAST finals I have to take... EVER! (Unless one day I get some crazy idea to go back to school :) But even so, last time for awhile!

So close....

To graduation!

I haven't been able to get on here in a while! We've been so busy! Our first married Easter was great! We went to Honey's house on Saturday, and it was great to see everyone. Sunday we had a great Easter lunch at Nathan's parents house. After Easter, we got back into the swing of things with work and school and more work... My car soon had some trouble, and we decided it was time to get something new. So after test driving the cars we were considering, we ended up getting a new Accord! We really like it, and even though it may not be anytime soon it will be big enough for a family when that time comes around. And... since I come from a car with no radio, that's probably the best part... haha. I haven't listened to a CD in the new car since we got it!

And now it feels like we're in the last lap in the race to graduation. I have a lab today, and then classes are done! Next week we have a Kaplan course to review for NCLEX, three finals after that, and then pinning and graduation! I'm so ready, and I know Nathan is too! It will be so nice not to have class, work, and precepting. Oy! I'm ready to just have one job because right now it feels like I have three! So life is filled with tons of craziness and we're ready for summer!
