HOW LUCKY CAN ONE GIRL GET?

Last week I got to celebrate my HALF WAY mark of nursing school...woohoo!

And where did I get to go for my break?!!

Sunny, southern California!

Yep, thats right!

No rain, no mudslides, no clouds...

Someone just KNEW I needed some warm sunshine and 

the beach.

My little, busy world got lost in that big ocean and I felt unbelievably

calm and happy...

Ok, so I felt slightly envious when I saw something like this....

  

sigh...

But its ok.

I never feel lonely on the beach.

I had a fast and crazy love affair with it....

Just in time for Valentine's ;)

Just what i needed.

Thank You Thanksgiving Weekend

Here’s what I did…

• Snuggled on the love sac and watched Pinocchio with the world’s cutest 3 year old boy

• Got a makeup makeover and felt like a new women haha!

• Cheered up by good friends over simple texting conversations

• Learned card tricks from “the experts”

• Snuck in to get a quick glimpse of the Air Force Academy basketball team practicing before getting kicked out

• Went bowling twice (I completely dominated the second time)

• Caught up with some good old friends :)

• Laughed so hard I cried

• Had mature conversations with a 12 year old

• Received good morning hugs from my grandparents everyday…that meant the world to me

• Made a pie run after discovering that the bananas in the Banana Cream pies we made turned black

• Felt like a teenager watching New Moon, and about fell over every time Jacob was on the screen haha!  I was as giddy as my 12-year-old cousin, McCall (possibly more)

• Witnessed the cutest moment...my cousin Luke got so frustrated while bowling and maintained the head-down position on the bowling ball return thing for 5 straight minutes.

• Stayed up till 1 o’clock every night

• Ate the most amazing ribs!

• Spent time with the best brother EVER!

• Gave my mom a backrub until she fell asleep after a long busy day

No stress, no worries, no sadness…at least for a few moments

Just what I needed.

Now...
