Graduation is Almost Here!!!

I just had my last day of real school!!!! Now I'm only left with finals next week!!! I've just applied to take my NCLEX, the Nursing Exam... wish me luck! I'll need it!!! Its certainly been a LONG year and I can't wait to get out there and work. But over the course of the year I've made some great friends and I will miss them. And of course, through it all, I've had Blake to love and support me all the way, good grades and bad grades! Yes, this is the college with the annoying commercials....

Our clinical group at Idaho Elks...hence the giant elk in the background.

For our graduation ceremony, me and my best buds Kim and Nikki are singing This is Home by Switchfoot. We dont have a lot of time to practice so we brought our cd player and went at it after class.

Brennen's Baptism

This year Brennen turned 8 years old and was baptised by my dad. We are so proud of Brennen and all the joy he has brought to our family! Brennen, Blake and I are so proud of you and we love you so much!!!

We had several family members come for the baptism, and we had fun pulling the kids along for a walk. Madison is holding our youngest cousin baby Jace.
Me, Makenzie and Callie

Jace is such a happy baby... Madison couldn't get enough of him.

A Day at the Fair!!!

Yay! Another year of the Western Idaho Fair! It's not a fraction of the size of the Blackfoot fair, but its got Fair food and thats what matters... to Blake anyways! We braved the 102 degree weather and had our share of Fair food, the expo, and went broke playing a game where all you do is throw a ball in a bucket. We saw some shows, and somehow I found myself on stage for the hypnotism show... not sure what all went down there! Overall a days worth of fun! A yearly tradition! Couldn't be happier!
Since I started nursing, I've become a huge germaphobe... the animals only get a pat on the head this year.
goochie goochie goo
Blake always has to win me a toy! Its tradition!
This year the chinese acrobats didn't come, but instead they had African Acrobats. It was certainly different and even though the show was less than 5 minutes long, they did some awesome stuff!

Our Fur Baby!

I havent mentioned the third member of our family, our cat Charlie! Last winter Blake was doing a lot of out-of-town work and just coming home for the weekends, (and if you know my family, we cant seem to escape this curse!) So Blake bought me this little black kitty so I wouldn't feel so lonely! He's a little upset that I havent't mentioned him in our blog yet...
His favorite spot... not sure how that is comfortable...

Welcome to Treasure Valley Satellite!

We are still working on some construction, looking good so far!
Oh yeah, Cheri is working that nail gun, ow ow!

Happy Birthday To Me!

Everyone at the pool

Its official, I have the cutest nieces!!

Blake invited all our family over to our apartment swimming pool for my birthday. It was so fun having everyone there even though the managers weren't too happy I had about 15 guests... oh well they'll live! Blake made my day really special by writing me a bunch of love notes, giving me a massage, taking me to one of my favorite restaurants (PF Changs ...lettuce wraps mmmmm!!!!) Thanks babe for such a fun birthday! I love you!

Nashville, Tennesee

Blake is a retailer for Dish Network, and a few weeks ago we were able to fly to Nashville and stay at the 5 star Gaylord Opryland hotel for the annual Dish Network retailer's convention! We had a blast in the hotel, and inside they had these atriums full of gardens and they even had these dancers dressed up like plants that wandered around! But even better, we saw Bare Naked Ladies (yeah, real ones) the BAND and we got to meet them after, thats pretty cool! All in a weekends work!
