Christmas time.......

Well today I went and bought a tree since I was feeling better.....when I got home Chris helped get it out of the car (which has sap and pine needles all over the trunk now lol)...we then put it in the stand and Chris (with very little coercing) helped decorate it with lights and bulbs :) and this is the result I think it looks awesome :)

Final drive back from cali......

After I graduated Chris and I did our final drive back from California to Denver, we decided to take a different route this time so that he could visit his friends that lived in Arizona. While we were in Arizona the only thing that Chris wanted to do is to get his pic taken with a big cactus lol so we definitely made sure that happened....he was so happy it was cute. After we left Phoenix we took a drive through Sedona....cause Chris and I have always wanted to see it.....it was stinking cold there but pretty with all the red rocks :) While we were in Phoenix Chris got to sit on his friends motorcycle....he was so cute lol

Graduation.......

On December 11th 2008 was my pinning ceremony/graduation from the nursing program. The past two years (that I was in the program) have been especially hard for me........mostly due to the fact that I had to be away from my hubby for most of that time only being able to come home in between the semester. Nursing school is very stressful and hard enough with out adding new stressful events to it. Well I finally got through it there were lots of tears throughout the last two years, whether it was due to stress of classes and 50% finals lol or cause I missed my hubby and wanted to come home. I made lots of friends during school most of who I hope we can stay in touch with for a long time. I will miss them alot. I feel like the last two years have flown by especially this last semester, at times (99.9%) I feel that I did was go to class, clinic, and then study, which in reality that is all that I did.....you have no life during nursing school so you have to make your own fun which we did....you can see some of the fun we had in the slideshow I will put up. If I had it all to do over again, yes there would be some things that I would do different but I wouldn't have given up this experience for anything.....many of you that know me now that I have wanted to be a nurse forever (alot to do with my mom).....all I need is my state license but I am finally a nurse!!!!!!
