The apartment!!

My super comfy study chair!

Well, here is my cute little apartment! Maybe I'll take a picture of the rest of my bedroom some day when my bed is made :) I absolutely love the woman that I am living with...she is just the sweetest lady!! I do 5 hours of house cleaning per week in exchange for free rent! It is an AMAZING deal. Plus, it is a mile from the Craigs and about 2 miles from Belmont! Could not have worked out better!

Seattle to Nashville!!

Becca and sweet little Amelia-Kate (4 1/2 weeks). She is precious!!

Uh....midnight run to Walmart. Need I say more?? :)

Happy Birthday Uncle Allen!!


Car troubles at the airport!!

One final goodbye to my little Curi

I surprised Dad at his gate! He was arriving from India and I was heading to Nashville! It was SO fun!!!

Well, I CANNOT believe it has only been a week!! So much has happened since I've been back. I moved off campus and am living in an apartment and classes started on Wednesday. I also just found out that I got clinical at Vanderbilt University Medical Center!! Only a few groups got clinical there and I was so hoping I would be one of them! It can be compared to UW Medical Center; very well known and very well respected. It is a huge deal that I get to do my clinical there.

Classes are good and of course very hard. I am starting to get into the groove but it has been a little tougher this semester, plus it is hot and sunny and no one wants to sit in class! I miss you all very much and I will be posting more regularly now---took a few days to get settled.

Goodbye Seattle!!

The three cutest kids in the entire world and they are in my family...amazing. Makes me sad to know I won't see them until Christmas. What sweet memories from the summer though :)

Wow!! I cannot believe that summer is over and I will be back in Nashville tomorrow! I am so excited to get back and begin another semester of nursing school. I am sad leaving everyone but I know time will go by fast and it will be Christmas before too long :) Thanks to everyone who made this summer so much fun! Love you all and will miss you terribly.

We had a great time when we went to Snowater a few weeks ago, which is up near Mt. Baker. It was really nice to just get out of town for a few days and it is super relaxed up there which is wonderful. We went hiking, swimming and just hang out in the condo :)
