Graduation!!

Yep, it is is true I have finally graduated from college. At this point it has defintly not hit me. Espically when I still drive to George Fox at 8:00 every morning to take a Kaplan Review class in order to perpare for the State Boards (Liscensure Exam). I will finish this class a week before my wedding...yeah I like to think of that as crazy. I know I haven't blogged in so long and never really ever display pictures but I thought I would send a treat out to all you special bloggers who always look and never replay. I am totally guilty of it myself and know how much I always wish that people have new blogs and new pictures. Hopefully the updates will be much more frequent now that we have one milestone out of the way with a couple more to go. The wedding is next on the list of milestones and I am so excited! Hope you all enjoy the pictures!!!

Spring Break, "What the Heck!"

Okay,
So let's just say life has a funny way of turning itself out. As most of you bloggers know I had big plans for my Spring Break! It was going to be Wedding Central! I was going to get my programs finished, slideshow finished, alterations finished, meet with the everyone and anyone. Finish six papers all due on Monday....yeah this Monday in three days! Well, lets just say it didn't all work out just as I had planned. I started my Spring Break off good Easter went great I got to spend sometime with Adam which is amazing because we haven't been able to do that much lately. He left on Sunday and I knew that my adventure and Mission to get as much as I anyone can do in a Spring Break started. Monday went great and according to plan. Tuesday went alright and got a decent amount of things done and Wednesday was HORRIBLE! I started out the day finishing one of five papers and decided that I should go get a BRA for my wedding dress before the fitting that was supposed to happen the next day. So, I was off and feeling OK. I found a bra which cost me way to much money and started not to feel so hot so I headed home. I assumed that it was just my stomach telling me it was hungry so I stopped for a Jamba Juice on my home for a quick nap and then off to get more things down and finish another paper. Well, after my "attempt" to nap I had a minor breakdown and then it hit me....THE STOMACH FLU!! It was horrible and I have not been this sick in five years! (minus the whole getting ulcers thing). Needless to stay it is almost day a full 48 hours and I am still knocked out. I have been so sick it has been hard for me even to sit up an type on this stinking computer. You are probably asking yourself then why am I doing it. Probably because I need someone to feel sorry for me and possible send out a little prayer that I will just make it to May 17, 2008. As for all the rest of you Spring Breakers I hope you enjoyed your homework free and sick free time off!
Love,

THIS IS A NEW ONE

Alright so for all you "anonymous" viewers who have expressed to me that I need to update my blog this is for you. Let's just say that things have been nothing short of crazy for me for the last two months. I have been working full time for an internship at St. Vincents postpartum floor on their night shift yeah nights 7 pm to 7 am. But let me not forget that I am still going to school at the same time. Oh, wait and planning a wedding and trying to be a friend, sister and fiance. Really, not a smart choice on my part to try and do it all at once but somehow I have almost gotten through it. Even through the exhausting times and days where I decide I want to retire at age 21 I have to remember that the Creator of the Universe has a plan for me and my husband to be. He is bigger then all things and will not give me more then I can handle. This has been a hard attitude to keep but it is something I strive for everyday. I continually have to be in the word and that is something I struggle with but it really is the only thing that keeps me strong when I feel like I have no strength.
Wedding Plans are going kind of; they have been on hold since things have been crazy but we are doing good. I am fully prepared to bust out a ton of wedding stuff here in a wk because I will have all spring break dedicated to wedding stuff and studying for a big exam I have coming up in nursing.
Currently, I have a wedding shower coming up that is thrown by my nothing but short of amazing cousins for all my family members and close friends which I am very excited for. Wedding Showers are so fun espically when you get to be the BRIDE! Anywhoo I know this may not seem like very much but hopefully it satisfies you anonymous readers for a little while:) God Bless!

Starting a new chapter......

I don't think when I said the word, "Yes" did my mind ever really comprehend the happiness, joy, frustration, anger and spontaneity my life would soon become. recently as I have been finishing my last 4 months of nursing school (praise the Lord) and Adam is continuing to intern; have I realized what dependence I have on the LORD. I cannot tell you how many times I have felt like I am going in circles when it comes to figuring out full time jobs and location. I cannot also tell you how many times I have tried to figure out where I am even going to live. Now, I am not talking and apt, or condo or house I am talking country, state, city.....any of those would be nice. Please don't freak out just yet Adam and I would love to stay in Oregon but honestly who knows what will happen.
You know I would love it if their were somethings we just knew, or their were just some things in life we were guaranteed like great jobs! but then I stop to think about how I would not be the person I am today if it wasn't for the unknown. Even thinking about how many things I would have hindered myself from doing if I had already known the outcome. I feel like its a lose, lose situation you wither know your future and hinder yourself from the unknown or you don't know and find yourself completely broken trying to figure it out.
In the next four months I will be going through some of the biggest changes in my life, graduating college, becoming a RN, becoming a wife and becoming a future pastors wife. Please do not get me wrong I am probably the happiest girl in the world to be getting married but it did not hit me until the other day when someone said, " Wow, lace it's like you have the biggest storm ahead of you and you don't even know it!" I don't know...it just hit me!
