Exciting News!

We are both about to do this:

And celebrate by going here:

Can't Wait! Congratualtions to us!

California

Sorry for the delay but here are some of the fun things we did in Cali!

Started off with a delicious HUGE ice cream from the

local burger joint. You can't even see Brett behind it,

thats how big it was!

Brett made friends with the local wildlife on the back

porch. It climbed right up that post to see him.

We may or may not have left some food scraps

outside in hopes of seeing a bear. . . but we got
this little guy instead.

We spent one day in San Francisco wich was fun!

First things first, we had lunch! Yummy swordfish!

Alcatraz Island, sorry its so tiny

Brett and I on Pier 39

Sunbathing Sea Lions (Seals) Is there a difference?

Golden Gate Bridge

Brett accomplished a task on his "Things I Want to

do Before I Die" list . . . walk across the Golden Gate

Bridge. Way to go Brett! I went with and it was long

but fun!

Crazy curvy Lomabard Street. The hills in SF are

incredible but this curvy street was nuts!

We celebrated St. Patricks Day with some delicious

green crepes courtesy of Chelsea!

Brett and Reagan playing in the pool!

One day we headed to "Big Tree" State Park

(Clever name huh?)

I'm kind of nerdy but these trees were incredible

The babies in the snow

So . . .

It is time for me to apologize for my outburst about nursing school :) I was simply stressed out with my AWESOME research paper that I get to write in these final weeks of nursing school! For some reason I have an irrational hatred for writing papers, especially research papers. I was in the middle of this aforementioned paper when I suddenly felt the urge to publicly display my hatred :) So don’t worry, I didn’t get kicked out or drop out (as much as I thought about it) and I am doing fine in school. I am just exhausted and ready to finally be a nurse! I am currently about 8 hours away from leaving on my California/Spring Break/Getaway and I cannot wait! I have done all assignments due the rest of this week, all of next week, and the week after Spring Break so that I can thoroughly enjoy my time there! I am going to lounge around and do whatever I want and no one is going to stop me, or tell me where to be, or when I have to wake up, or make me do any 12 hour shifts! Woo Hoo! Lata AZ!

PS

When I get back I will have pictures and something less boring to blog about! Yay!

Oh my gosh . . .

I hate Nursing School SO much. Thats all.

Anniversary!

Its pretty late but Brett and I's anniversary was
on October 24th. To celebrate we headed off
to Sedona for the weekend! I absolutely love
being married to Brett and I hate to break to
all of you girls out there, but Brett Jenkins

is THE BEST husband in the whole wide world!

Can't you tell . . .

This is some cool rock furniture we found in our
adventures in Sedona . . . oh yeah, and Brett with his
hand in his pants, told ya, best husband ever :)

Could it be a Prince . . . ?

On a quaint little bridge after dinner at

El Rincon, it was wonderful!

Breakfast of Hot Chocolate and Grasshopper

Cookies on our cute little porch!

My handsome hubby!

Beautiful Sedona . . .

Lunch at Oak Creek Canyon on

our way home

This has nothing to do with our anniversary I

just think its the cutest picture ever of Brett

and my niece Ellie :)

Called To Serve

So my little brother got his mission call last week,

which is weird because he is still like 8 years old in

my head but I'm really excitied for him. He's heading to

Calgary Canada and he leaves January 20th.

I'm gonna miss that goofy kid :)

IT'S TRUE . . .

Cory Justin Jenkins, our dear brother, father, son,
and friend was killed in Afghanistan on
August 25, 2009 after his stryker was hit with an
improvised explosive device

We miss you and love you Cory
