So I have slacked big time as far as keeping this thing up-to-date... The part where they joked about having no time/life in nursing school is true! I hope you all are doing well, here is a recap of happenings from my 22nd birthday (back in October!) to now :)
 |
| Ruger with his buddy Bryce celebrating Thanksgiving! |
 |
Nothing like a night out with your classmates after finishing winter finals!
(The bar loved having all of us on a Tuesday). |
 |
| Who would have known it is possible to dress up and look nice in nursing school! |
 |
| My UW roommate Kaela graduated this December- woohoo! And my first snow home was in Laramie, of course! |
 |
| The first powder day of the season, and we managed to find the "thin-snow" sign! |
 |
| Bundled up to ski! Love the Colorado sunshine! |
 |
| WRR was a winter wonderland! |
 |
| The fjords were much more social than Mindy and Sadie. |
 |
| Can't forget the big boys! |
 |
| It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas... |
 |
Speaking of Christmas, the barn dog, Kay, had 5 puppies on Christmas Eve!
|
 |
| We celebrated Christmas with the Naumovich family in Illinois, this was the first year we had to rent a facility to hold over 70 people! |
 |
| I rang in New Year's at a Florida-Georgia Line concert... here is a guitarist with an anatomically correct heart tattoo! |
 |
| Uncle Joe, the family bachelor, gets his picture taken each year with a number of Naumovich girls to celebrate anything-but-a-birthday! |
 |
| Kay, Sean, Riley, and I kicked off spring break with a brewery tour! |
 |
| Sunburnt noses snowmobiling in March, talk about slushy-snow! |
 |
| Bacon smores are quickly becoming a Wyoming tradition! |
 |
Better tanning than any beach at WP!
I am still leasing Ruger and have managed to make it to the barn 7 days a week to feed and or ride! It is a great brain break and I have had a great time working with him. I tried my hardest to find a puppy-sitter house and failed, so I'm putting a dog on my post-graduation wish list! I had a blast back home over Christmas and spring break hanging out with friends and I cannot wait to be done with school so I can see them more often. I met my boyfriend, Kevin, (don't choke on your drink) in the Chicago airport flying back to Springfield and had a blast dragging him to all my "must-visit" spots over spring break. Classes are going well and are finally on a roll toward completion (have I mentioned only 51 days until GRADUATION?! Not that I'm counting...) I am working on applying to jobs, this nurse thing is becoming real! I would love to work at Children's Hospital in Aurora, CO, but have plenty of other applications going out as well. Work is an ever-ending adventure but I still enjoy it and saved my first life this week (that CPR training really pays off!). I think that is all for now, I hope to hear from you or better yet, see you in Colorado soon! |
