The holiday's 2009-2010

SO strange to write 2010! Now that the holidays have flown by I figured I should post the pictures before we get too far into the New Year!
The holidays were amazing and completely wonderful, but they flew by! We spent Thanksgiving with my Mom and David's family...which was great to have the traditional turkey dinner followed by African food that night. Christmas Eve was spent at our house and became bigger than we expected once my Grandma got sick and my Brother, Sister Sarah, and her boyfriend Spencer ended up at our house with David's Mom and Aunt. Rather than one roast chicken I ended up with three! Everything turned out great though and we had the best time sitting around and talking! Christmas morning we headed to my Mom's where her entire living room floor was covered with gifts. She had 17 ppl. sitting around tearing into gifts for about an hour...it was pure craziness! After lunch we headed up to my Dad's where we were able to see my Grandma and Grandpa Owens, along with my cute-as-ever cousins Kiki and Grant.
Sorry...lots of picture

ASU Game

We were lucky enough to be able to get ASU Football Season tickets this year with our friends the Minor's. This last game, on Halloween, we had a blast!! We started on Mill at 10am, ate some breakfast burrito's, had a beer and a mimosa :), rode around in an ASU golf cart, and then hung out with my Mom and Mark... :)
Here are some pictures from the day...

**If you know my family you know how crazy it was to see Mark in an ASU shirt! :) I had to take a picture**

**It was cute baby Emma's first ASU game!**

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!
