thanks

Good 'ole thanksgiving was, as always, a wonderful time of overeating. Although, I must say it is weird to not "go home" for the holidays and to be already here. Reese came in which made thanksgiving much more exciting. He is leaving for Norway in January and will be there for 8 months so our time with him was special.

Today I've been ready to head back to Norman and plan our Christmas party. BUT I am so glad to not be heading back with the ache and pressure of finals of my shoulder. :)

Thanksgiving also means some good football. I was happy to see our Sooners shut out OSU with our rough season. Also, we had was is called a "Turkey Bowl" with some people from church. We had a coach, plays, and a bloody nose. Way more intense than I was expecting. Here are some pictures.

The trees have started to change in Dallas and we got a big cold front today. I wish I was with you all right now by a fire drinking hot chocolate talking about life.

A name has been given to red beta fish, thanks to yours truly Nat Noe:

Huck Fin (Huck for short)


So I completed my first week of nights and I must say it was one of the hardest weeks. I haven't learned to sleep in the day yet so my body was suffering. All the night nurses take sleeping pills but I am going to try to not to go there quite yet. I know this week has to be better as my body adjusts more and more.

Holy COW! I can't believe thanksgiving is NEXT WEEK!!!! I am excited for the turkey trot and good ole family bonding. :) I hope one yr we all live on the same block with our family's and have a huge thanksgiving feast all together. (that is my dream)

My new pet




Okay so today I purchased a friend. Yes that is right I now have stooped down to paying for friends. It is a RED beta. (kinda like mere's) But I need a name for it? Any suggestions. He is my new friend since I have been feeling kinda lonely without you all.
disclaimer: the last beta I had only made it one month so I hoping to do better this time around.

Also here is picture of some of my close friends I work with:



They are from all over and I have learned so much from working with them. We have become quite close and the Lord has given me so much favor with these relationships. We had an outta control Halloween extravaganza. For all who can't tell what I am, let me inform you. BEYONCE or should I say SASHA FIERCE from the Single Ladies video. BAHAHAH I still can't believe I went out in public in a leotard.

Transition

New phase: Ok so this blog was originately set up for my family while I was in college. Now my family sees me all the time. The friends (AKA you reading this right now) started talking about setting up blogs to know more about what was going on in each others lives so this is now a blog dedicated to my friends. May this help us keep connected in what is going on. I sincerely apologize to Paige and Amanda for the incorrect grammer that you will see :)

What is new in life:
1. As of tomorrow I will be working nights at Children's. I will be nocturnal and see hours of the day I have never seen before :)
2. My Car has been given a second life. I think this time it might be fixed for good and I gitty all over cause I missed my precious Jeep.

pictures to come....

GRADUATION! :(

Well, You don't get much say in growing up. It just happens. It happens so fast too. May 16th 2009 I graduated from OU with a Bachelors Degree in Nursing. It was a happiest and saddest day of my life. Mostly only happy because I never have to go to class and take all those hard tests anymore. Everything else was sad. I am still dealing with the new changes of not being with my friends but the Lord has blessed me with an amazing job at Children's Medical Center which starts August 31st. I am so thankful to my family to aiding me in the greatest 4 years of my life.

The greatest family in the world!

Justin and John Run!

For those who don't know the story of Justin and John, they represent true heroes. Justin is a friend who lost his life in India, on August 16th. John was in the accident as well, and is know back in America continuing rehab. There was a marathon run in Tulsa in honor of them which is what these pictures of from.
I learned more than words can express through their lives. I learned what it means to be a true disciple of Christ and to live your life for something bigger than yourself... This video gives tribute to Justin's life:
