I am done with nursing school...talk about mixed emotions!

I had my last final this morning! Words cannot express the feelings I have! I am either extremely happy or on the verge of tears (I think we all know it's not because I will miss the program:) Life is going to be a little strange because after two years, my life has totally changed! I am so excited for my pinning ceremony and graduation and having most of my family there! It has been an experience I will never forget and am so grateful I stuck to it. What don't kill ya definitely makes ya stronger! Spencer, thanks for everything!!! Holy cow, I could not have done it without you!!!

Patti, thanks for doing my hair, I LOVE IT!!!

I love being an aunt!

Happy Birthday, Abby! I can't believe you are 5 today! I love ya and can't wait to come to your party!!!

My cute 'lil nephew has been up at Primary Children's Medical Center for the last few days due to having streptococcal pneumonia. He is such a brave 'lil boy! I love ya bud~get feeling better!

And so my puppies go...

What a sad day for me! I hate the days when the puppies go to their new homes. That is the only bad thing about breeding Paysley. Everything else is a breeze! They turned out so cute and were so popular. I am so glad I sold them to great families! They all agreed to send me updated pics :)

So for an update on Spencer and I~I am sure you are all wondering, lol!

Spencer got a new job installing insulation in Salt Lake County. He has done an awesome job~infact, he has only been there a month and has been asked to be a supervisor! Spencer is awesome when it comes to working! I know I can always count on him. He will start back up in school this fall. As for me, well school, school, and more school. Okay maybe this last week I slacked a bit when it came to studying. I had to spend time with my pups. I absolutely loved having them around! I think I have come to the conclusion that I'm in total shock about graduation. I knew it was coming especially when we sold all our pups, but seriously, it is just around the corner~and there you have it~an update from us (or me :)

Happy Birthday Spencer!!!

Tomorrow is Spencer's bday! Can I just say he is the love of my life? I can't believe he is going to be the big 26! I mean I met him when he was a crazy teenager and to think he still hasn't changed haha! There are so many reasons why I love him, but for your enjoyment I will list 26 of them, yes I said 26, but remember I also said there are soooo many reasons!

26-When I don't ask, he'll rub my back (only when I DON'T ASK ~ different story when I do :)
25-He enjoys watching the shows and movies I like. Yes, he is a Hill's & 90210 fan, but probably wouldn't admit it!
24-He texts me every time I take a test to see how I did.
23-His hugs make me melt
22-He lets me sing in the car and sometimes lets me change the radio~
21-He is so willing to take Paysley potty during the night~never once have I heard him complain! If you are wondering why not Chade, it's because, well, Chade won't go with him~
20-He looks sooo good when he works out! I love watching his biceps in action! TMI?
19-He always knows when to make me laugh and hold me when I cry~he's come a real pro these last two years!
18-He is sooo good with kids~my nieces and nephews (especially Gage & Chance) love him and are always wondering where Spencer is when they see me! I do admit, sometimes it hurts, haha!
17-He calls me a lot when I am sick to check up on me~today especially!
16-He takes me on a date every week!
15-He believed in me when I didn't.
14-He helps everyone and anyone. I could tell many stories where he just stops what he's doing whether it's to help a guy lift something into a truck, or an old lady with her car!
13-He laughs at me. Trust me, it's a good thing~
12-He cleans poop off my shoes! Long Story~
11-He pulls the covers over my head (cover wagon) when in all reality I think he's coming in for a hug. I'm not a fan at that moment, but he does make me laugh!
10-He is my best friend! I tell him everything! I will literally be somewhere like at clinicals and think to myself~I gotta tell Spencer that!
9-He loves me for me~that's a big one!
8-He gets along so good with my family. What can I say, they all love him!
7-He is the best cook and is always willing to fix me up something real quick!
6-He never complains that I have to hurry and workout before we go somewhere. Infact, he loves it!
5-He can fix anything and build anything!
4-He is such a hard worker. He never complains and never expects a hand out!
3-He kisses me every morning before work and every night when he gets home!
2-He is so organized and not only understands that I love a clean house, but helps keep it that way!
1-He has been my rock through school and there is no one else I would want to share this journey with! I can't wait to see him at my graduation!

There you have it! I love him! Now, I did this today because tomorrow we are going to be having way too much fun!

Only 4 more to go!

This is me getting ready to take the Hesi test in our testing center! Only 4 more tests to go and I will never have to walk into these rooms again! We have been taking pics of us. I will post more as they come! (If you don't know, I am the one on the right in the second row, I was playing cool :)

Happy Easter!

We had such a FUN Easter! I have always loved Easter. We went over to my Aunt Claudia's house for some fun family Easter egg hunting! It was a lot of fun and a much needed break for both Spencer and I! Enjoy the pictures! Next time I will figure out how to do a slide show...

The whole fam enjoying a great meal! Aunt Claudia, Jen, Drew, and Michael!

I love these little puppies! They are so much fun and so easy to have! I can't believe I only have a couple more weeks with them. I am just glad I have them all sold to good homes! Having a blog for my puppies helped me sale them quick~

Sooo Happy!!!

I PASSED the HESI!!! I am sooo excited! The HESI is a test over the whole nursing program and it is "hell" (I'm not cussing, it seriously is!)! There is sooo much info that we have learned so I have been stressed! We are sooo happy. I say WE because Spencer loves seeing me happy!!! I got my cap and gown today! I can't believe we don't have too much longer! YEA, YEA, YEA!!!
