Update...

So, I have not posted in awhile, mainly due to the craziness of nursing school, but I wanted to share a quick update.

Well, nursing school has been overwhelming, but so much fun so far! I have loved every minute of it, and I cannot wait to start clinicals in a week! I have had quite a few exams, and skill tests to measure my ability to correctly administer oral med's, injections, put in a catheter, take vital signs, etc... (all on medical dummies) :), and I am so thankful that I have grasped all the concepts and done really well! Only 3.5 semesters left to go!! :)

David and I headed off to Vegas in Sept. with our friend Leo for a quick vacation! We had such an amazing time, and we even got to eat at one of my favorite restaurants from NY...Serendipity!

Day trip to Sedona...

I have been wanting to go camping all summer, but have not been able to convince David how much fun it can be since he has never been, so I decided to start small with a day trip. We headed up to Sedona and I had the smart idea of going to slide rock, but I failed to realize how crazy busy it get's! We had to wait in an hour long line just to enter the parking lot!! After we made it in we realized that the water was way too cold, so we mainly sat and watched everyone slip and slide all over the place. I really think that is why the call it slide rock and not because of the rock slides. :) After slide rock we went back into town and got some lunch, walked around some cute shop areas, and really just spent some quality time together. :)

Weekend Trip to California

David and I planned to take a quick "one-dayer" trip up to Big Bear to try out the new snowboards we had gotten, but since I officially have the weekends off :) we decided to make it into a romantic weekend for the two of us! We flew into San Diego instead of Ontario and stayed were able to stay on my Mom's boat. The first night we ate at Island Pasta and Moo Time Creamery, which has been a tradition for us since 1st visiting Coronado. The next morning we woke up quite early and took the agonizing 3 hour, twisting and winding, drive up to Big Bear. We had the greatest time snowboarding and we both LOVED our new boards, so it was definitley worth the 6 hours of driving on some of the scariest road ever! That rest of the weekend we did a lot of eating at our favorite places in Coronado, and actually were able to spend some time together...which has been rare for us the last few years... :)

Girls Weekend in Colorado!

Ashley and I visited one of our best girlfriends in CO for the weekend and had the most amazing time! I have never laughed so hard, for so long, in a very long time! We visited the New Belgium and Budweiser Breweries and spent a day hiking in the Rocky Mountain National Park, which is beautiful! We also had a few drinks along the way... :)
