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 . . . ?

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

Washington and Family!

We were finally able to go on a vacation! We went to Washington

to visit Brett's brothers family and see their adorable new

baby girl Reagan and particiapte in her blessing! It was such

a fun trip and we were so happy to just get to be there at

all being as its the only vacation we got to go on this whole summer!

Yes, school sucks, but we're almost done! yay! But it was great

and thank you Jeanne for making it all happen! Love ya!

Brett and I found an amazing waterfall that I

didn't even know existed in Washinton . . .

it was a great hike too!

Precious baby Reagan with her daddy. . . too cute!

look, its actually green there! and NO CACTUS!

This is the Puget Sound, we got to watch the 4th of July

fireworks right over it, it was cool!

Me and my smokin' hot hubby! Thanks for the trip babe!

On a much sadder note, we also went to say goodbye to

this precious little girls daddy because he shipped out to

Afghanistan about a week after we left, leaving his beautiful

wife and 2 week old baby behind. Good luck Cory and we love you!
