look what i just found

aren't these precious...

mark your calendar- may 6th is nurses day.

tribute.

so this post is a little over due. last week paige face moved out of the lovely 215. it was a tragedy. good thing she still works in provo so she will be down here to keep me entertained in my new found freedom of no school. also, she is living at her sisters which opens up a hot tub (if the key can ever be found) as well as an escape from provo. i think many vacations to draper may be in order. here is a recent picture before she ran away from home.

life isn't the same without perusing the one spot and watching movies with unconditional chocolate.

finally.

I'M OFFICIALLY DONE!

i didn't walk again, so here is a picture from when i did walk with my ADN back in december 2007.

bringing back memories.

yesterday i came up to salt lake to see shel. we had some things planned, but kind of last minute we decided to go see the fall out boy concert at the saltair. not going to lie...they are not really my favorite band slash i haven't listened to them since high school. needless to say, they were pretty good, and some of the bands before were pretty good, too. i was surprised at how many songs i remembered. the most entertaining thing of the night was that it reminded me of high school, and made me feel old. in high school, i would go to concerts all the time and (this is embarrassing) i would go crazy. not that i'm that much older, but i don't think i miss the sweaty/smelly punk rock band atmosphere anymore. we also saw david archuleta who was there watching the show. he is precious, probably more precious face to face then on tv.

just trying to be hardcore. seriously...we were trying to fit in :] oh the memories.

just thinking.

today has been a weird day at work. actually this past month has been depressing but also has made me realize how lucky i am. i have sent almost one person home every shift on hospice or they have died. i know we are all going to die, but so many of these patients are so young. it really makes me realize how lucky i am and how grateful i am for all the blessings i have. realizing how easily life can pass by has reminded me of all the little things.

on a lighter note... i have two tests left and then i'm graduated. i go home for a week on may 6th. i love may in kansas...it is tornado season meaning that the thunderstorms are the best. this past weekend paige, jen, and i went to a byu baseball game. it reminded me of summers in kansas going to the royals games. i'm going to miss it, even though this is my third summer away. shelly and i are planning a trip to california. we bought tickets yesterday and are totally stoked. her roommate is getting married and my friend RK who has been in iraq with the marines is finally home and stationed in san diego. i missed him last time he was in KC for RR, so it will be so good to see him. i am ready for a vacation and the beach and some sun.

one word. vegas.

so, due to recent events (as you can see in the previous post), shelly and I made a little weekend trip to vegas. i had never been, and although my mother keeps telling me it's the city of sin (yes folks, it is, but it is still however a glorious location for sun), i had the time of my life. we drove down saturday morning (through utah while it was snowing) into the fabulous sunshiney location of las vegas. saturday we went to in-n-out (my first time ever), got pedi's, went to a david copperfield show, and followed it up with a little bit of dancing. can i just tell you a little bit about our hotel room. we stayed at the signature towers owned by MGM grand. they are the most beautiful buildings. we ended up getting to stay on the 32nd floor in a penthouse suite-jacuzzi, balcony, a kitchen, it was all beautiful. literally, i didn't lift a finger all weekend. sunday and monday, we laid by the pool...just what i needed. we made it back safely last night, and although since school ends next week and my life will be a piece of cake, i'm still missing the glorious sunshine. here are a few pictures to reminisce.

one last thing...the country music awards were in the mgm grand on sunday night.

I searched long and hard for the beautiful man above, but sadly never found him.

a much needed vacation...Part II

can i just tell you that i'm never coming back to utah. i'm staying in vegas. enough said.
