scrubs

So, I have to wear "kid-friendly" scrubs at my new job. Kill me now. Agh, I can't bring myself to wear Spongebob or Dora (and Lord knows I won't be wearing Tinkerbell!). I hope I can find some happy medium...

...say, Barbie? Just kidding, but seriously. I really would much rather wear something less tacky.

This Weekend

Hello! Thought it was time for an update. On Friday Nate and I went up to Maryland for one of his cousin's wedding. It was a lot of fun! We got to Ocean City at like 1 or 1:30 I think, and went straight to the beach for a little bit and then showered and went to the wedding. It was at this Italian restaurant that they rented out. The wedding was outside and it was short and sweet, then everyone went inside and drank, danced, ate dinner, and just had a good time. We stayed there pretty late, and then slept at a hotel (for free.. yay!) that his uncle owns.
Yesterday we got up early and went to breakfast and then spent the day on the beach. It was a blast but drained all of my energy. At about 3:30 we left the beach and stopped by Nate's parents' house for a while and then drove home.
This morning we got up around 3:30 and I took Nate to the ship and we picked up 2 of his work buddies and I dropped them off at the airport. They went to Florida until Wednesday night for some Navy training thing. Then on Thursday we are going back to Ocean City for the weekend. What are you all doing for the 4th of July?
Tomorrow I am going to my new job at the hospital to fill out some paperwork and get a physical. I am really excited! I start work on July 14th. It's going to be nice to be a little more busy, but I am definitely enjoying my summer of freedom! Today I went to the mall and returned a few dresses and bought a few things. Then this afternoon I saw some movie called Priceless. It was great. The movie was in French and had subtitles. After the movie I met Katie for some dinner and then came home and have been watching tv. I am still pretty tired so I will probably get to bed by ten or 10:30 tonight. See you all in about a month and a half! I can't wait!

I Think We Have Decided On A Date

So after much deliberation, I think Nate and I have set a date for the big day. The plan is that on July 11th we are going to tie the knot! Hooray! That is a Friday and we are trying to book some bed and breakfast near a beach so that we can get away for the weekend and have a little romantic getaway! I just wanted to fill you all in! I miss you guys and Arizona a lot! It's been hitting me a little harder these past few days. Love you!

Better Homes and Gardens

My cousin, Eric, and his family are featured in the July edition of the magazine Better Homes and Gardens. If you want to check it out, you should! It's pages 132-137 and it's pretty awesome. Anyways, I just thought I would share that with all of you because I thought it was really cool.

On a side note, today I took my NCLEX. I think I will find out in the next couple of days if I passed or not, and I will definitely keep you posted. I would ask for your luck, but it's a little late for that now! Haha. The way the test is formatted, you answer questions on the computer, and if you do well, they get harder and more complex. If you are doing poorly, they remain more basic. After 75 questions (the minimum) if the computer thinks you are doing well enough to pass you, or so bad that there is no hope for you, it shuts off. If you are somewhere inbetween it keeps giving you questions until it decides you either know your stuff or you don't, and you can have up to 265 questions. For me, it shut off at 75... I'm hoping that means I passed, otherwise I may need phone calls every couple hours or so to make sure I'm not playing in traffic.

I love you all and I really miss you a lot! I can't wait to see you guys in August, although I wish I could sooner! Muah!

I Suck at Spelling

I realize that I made a lot of spelling errors in my last post, but I don't know how to edit it, so try not to make fun of me. Thanks!
