Books, books, books....



So, everyone has been bugging me about not posting on the blog. I hate posting without a picture and especially when I have nothing exciting to say! Here is a picture of what I'll be doing all weekend. The stack on top are notecards, all of which have to be memorized by Tuesday. Yes, I know it looks like tons of fun. I should tell ya'll that my hard work is paying off because my first 3 exams have been A's and B's!! For nursing school a B is considered very good due to how tough the program is. I have one more week until spring break and I cannot wait. My mom (along with grandma & grandpa Larson) are coming on Thursday which I'm so excited about. Then on Monday I leave for the Caribbean for the rest of the week. It is hard to believe that I am about 1/2 way through the semester. Every week goes by so fast and I am learning so much new information. Every clinical, lab and lecture makes me feel a little bit more like a nurse. When I was talking to my patient last week her phone rang and she told the person she'd have to call them back because she was talking to her nurse. Our instructors told us it doesn't really matter that our ID badges say student. Our patients see scrubs and stethoscope and they just think of us as their nurse. Clinicals are amazing and constantly remind me why I'm here.

Paradise!!



Just wanted to show ya'll where I'll be spending spring break! My friend Ashley and her mom, Dianne are taking me as their guest to the Dominican Republic to stay at this gorgeous, secluded, beachfront, all-inclusive resort!! I am still pinching myself!! It is going to be an incredible trip and I can't wait. Spring break is only a few weeks away and I am counting the days...

Rylee,
Here is a picture of my fridge with all of your beautiful pictures you colored for me! I love them so much! I miss you, Caleb and Kyler! I'm sad I won't get to see you on your birthday but I will blow you birthday kisses from Nashville!

For Christopher & Todd


This hangs above my bed and has the pictures of what is most precious to me. All you need to know is that you made it onto this board :) By the way, Whitney and I bought the bulletin boards, fabric and ribbon and made these picture boards ourselves!! We were very proud.

Snow!!


We had our first and probably only snow fall of the year! It was very beautiful and they actually cancelled most local schools! I could not believe it. It was less than an inch! People were out sledding and I actually saw one car with chains. I was highly amused :)
