[I'm alive!]

I can't believe I haven't blogged for almost an ENTIRE year. That's what nursing school will do to you. ;) I'm back, and hopefully with photos more often. For now, I will attempt to take you on a photo journey that involves the last year of my life. So sit back, and relax.

My nursing school adventure began on June 30, 2009 - when I received my acceptance letter to Texarkana College's LVN program. School started August 12, 2009.

And let me tell you, it flew by!
Quick trip, eh? ;) Graduation - August 17, 2010

Mom & Dad flew in the night before. :)


And along the way, some other key points ...
Like some fabulous yellow calla lilies Charlie snagged for me.

And a quick trip to dear Lisa's where I fell in love with her gals.










And an incredible sunset in Texarkana.


And then came Thanksgiving.






And then Christmas.

Where we spent half of it warm in California ...

And half of it FREEZING in Utah! :)

[Playing catch-up]

Oh boy. Went on vacation for 3 weeks & then it all just went downhill from there. I do have TONS of images from my trip, so let's just say this will count as days 22-30 (to be fair). I was gone July 8th through July 26th - spent 3 fabulous weeks with my dear best friend in Missouri, Chicago, and San Diego. Here is some of the evidence ...


Train station downtown Chicago

A cool bridge.
A pretty flower in Vi's backyard.

Day [twenty-one] July 5th

Boring, but Charlie & I finally put my California plates up above the sink in the kitchen, & that was exciting. :D



Day [twenty] - 365 project

Day [twenty] July 4th - fireworks!

I got lazy the 2nd & 3rd ... sorry!
These are by no means photographically "correct," but they were fun. :)







and because I look like a ghost in this one ...
