Three More Weeks!


Yep, only three weeks left of my first semester in nursing school! I don't think I could be more excited... I nice long one month break should be just the thing I need! Plus, I am so excited for next semester because its our Pediatric/ OB rotations and I want to go into labor and delivery when I get done so its gonna be a blast! (and a nice change from working at the nursing home, you can only change so many of those diapers before you really want to die... or gag.)





This last weekend Charlie came down and stayed with me so we could go to Aubrie's last game and for her baby shower. We had so much fun catchin up with the girls! (Thanks Bailey for driving, did you ever go get a refund from Jack-In-The-Box... the big jerks didn't give us our food!) Charlie got a lot of cute stuff and we all had a good time.






I wish there was more to tell, but that's pretty much my life... I'm looking forward to the holidays and getting to see my nieces and nephews, they are TOO FAR AWAY!




Way to go Aubrie!

"Brick Wall Shar"

So this weekend I had all intentions of getting so much studying done for the two tests I have coming up this next week but of course a lot of fun things come up and the good student that I am thinks, "hmm, I'll just do it later!" Well, that's what I did! Taytum called me Saturday and said the volleyball team was playing for the state championship and so we ate and then headed out to Peoria for the game... The girls played so hard but lost (of course to one of those dumb private Christian schools that get to recruit, don't get me started!) and I relived every anxiety and pressure I had ever felt playing volleyball in high school. I miss it so much! As we were driving back to Mesa, I remembered this one really intense game we played against Mogollon. Our team was playing really well and I had stuffed a few volleyballs in a few girls faces, and the crowd was amazing, which of course helped our team play even better... so I had just blocked a ball and the crowd had cheered and kinda died down and just as it got kinda quiet, Blake Gray stood up and shouted at the top of his lungs "Brick Wall Shar!" Ok, so of course I turned bright red and everyone looks at him and then looks at me... um embarrassing, but so funny! We won that game and it was probably one of the best games we ever played! Congratulations to the St. Johns High Volleyball team for being the State runner-ups! ( It has been quite a few years since that has been done!)
