Our weekend

On Friday I ran some errands went to the gym got my hair done, which was much needed, then studied for the rest of the day. On Friday night we went to dinner then went to Ben and April's house for a wine and cheese tasting. It was fun. Everyone brought random cheeses wine and different beers that no one buys on a regular bases.

On Saturday I studied during the day then that night we had my friends from high school (Kaci and Samanatha) and their husbands over to the house . Heather had to work so she was only able to stop by for a short time. Her belly is looking so cute. She is seven months pregnant now. She is the first one out of our group to have a baby so we are all really excited for her. We grilled out hamburgers and just hung out. After dinner we played catch phrase for a while, which was really fun. I love hanging out with my girls and I am so glad all of our husbands like each other so much that we can hang out together and have such a good time. We definitely don't do it enough. I love my husband so much. He knows how stressed I have been with school so he was actually the one that texted one of the guys to get it together.

Today I am just studying once again and going to eat at Trevor's parents later. My family just doesn't think I love them anymore because I never see them. Trevor is going to grill at his parents before I go and I am just going to go by eat and come right back home. His mom said, "I still love you even though you don't want to hang out". Of course she was joking but that has honestly been the truth. Before school started I would go get my nails done and eat lunch with my mom every other Friday. I miss those days. The count down has started until the semester is over. I have this week and then the next and that is it. But between now and then I have 4 tests. My last day of class is Thursday then the next day I am packing for the beach and we are leaving Saturday morning for 7 nights. I am so excited and can't wait. We will be there one of the weeks I am out then I still have another week off before I start back class. But I still have to work.

One of my good friends Lindsey is going to have her baby either the week we are at the beach or the week before. I really hope I will be able to be there. I helped deliver her first two and I would love to help with her third. We will see!

Hope everyone has had a good weekend!

Cornhole tournament

Wow! Has anyone ever heard of such a thing. On Saturday I pretty much studied all day but took a break to go to the cornhole tournament at Shadow Lake for a little while. A bunch of the guys played in this thing and a few wives came to hang out. Trevor didn't do so well. But some of them did and actually walked away with a little money. Here are a few pictures from the day!

The heat and humidity was awesome on the hair!

Life These Days

So life is pretty CHAOTIC right now!!

I am just taking a break right now from studying. I have had 5 tests and 8 clinicals since starting school the first week in June and it is just the 14th of July. I have another test tomorrow and it is on Reproductive problems (anything from STD's, problems with breast, male genitalia, and also female huhas). Real good nursing terminology huh? So if anyone needs to know anything about those things, quiz me. Also if you are in need of learning how to do breast or testicular exams I am your girl. HA! After tomorrow I have 3 more test plus a final in the final 3 weeks of class.

I am doing okay so far hanging in there by my toes. With me wanting to move forward after this part of school, I said that I really needed to make A's to get my GPA up. Well now I am just trying to move on from this one class and pass it. Passing in nursing is a 75%. Not the normal passing grade is it?

FYI! My husband is the best. I have been really stressed with school and work lately so he has been helping out a lot. Work has been extremely busy then I go straight to class and try to relax while I learn, but that is not really possible. I haven't been able to clean or anything because I study during the whole weekend and most of the time after work and school at night too. Monday night I came home at around 9 like usual and Trevor had just taken off the grill nice steaks for us to eat with pasta he made, really yummy. Then I came home on Tuesday night and he made his own Baked Ziti and the house was spotless, scrubbed and all.

My flowers have grown so much since I planted them. The ones around the tree still have a good bit of growing to do but they like it when it is not as hot as it has been lately. Around August I hope they are as big as they were last year. But the other ones have grown like crazy. HERE is what they originally looked like when they were first planted and this is now.

Cook out

Our first cook out on our new deck was on Friday night. It was actually nice outside, not unbearably hot. We had Marcie and Justin Morris over and Wade and his girlfriend Melanie. We cooked out steak and chicken kabobs. Then the other girls brought over some sides. We had a good time. It was a nice break from studying. We ate and just hung out for a few ours and let the dogs play. Trevor and I got a few tiki torches to help with the bugs with it being so freaking hot out right now and I think we got the shaft on them. I don't know what was wrong with them but they would not stay lit.

Chef Trevor over here!!

On Saturday afternoon we went to a childhood friend of mines wedding Laura and her new husband Josh. It was a very sweet ceremony and I am very happy for them.

4th of July weekend

The weekend started out on Friday with Trevor starting our porch and me studying. Then Saturday I studied pretty much all day while all the guys were working outside. From about 9:30 until about 2:30 I was on the couch reading about gastrointestinal disorders. Sounds fun right?? Then that night Trevor and I went with Devin and Mary to their friends Matt and Missy's house for a little pool party in Leeds. They were so awesome and have a beautiful home that they opened to us.We had a great time it was nice to get out of the house for a little while.

On Sunday I studied about the same in the morning then we went to Paul's house and grilled out for the 4th. After it got dark we shot fireworks at their house.





Check out the audience. They were loving it. They live on a big hill and you can pretty much see all around you so we watched everyone else shoot fireworks too.

Today for lunch we went to my parents house to grill and hang out.

Now I am back on the couch breaking out my books to study again.

I hope everyone had a great 4th of July weekend!

# 16 Our Porch

On Friday and Saturday Trevor and a bunch of guys build the back porch on our house.

I am so happy with the way it turned out. It is pretty bare fight now. So now we have to get all the furnishings for it. Hopefully one day this week after class we can go shopping. We are going to get some tiki torches and I think some new furniture. We already had a table and chairs from Trevor's old house that have been in storage at his parents that we are putting out there. They put a hole in the middle for the fire pit which is going to get lots of smore action during football season. Thank you again to all the guys that came and helped.

We still have to put the gravel around the stairs and all of that but it is coming together.
