...ready for Christmas break.....

The doctor Brandon is currently on rotation with invited us to a Christmas dinner at The Club (which is what the above pictures are from.) It was really nice. They had an incredible speaker! I cannot remember his name, but he is a preacher in New Mexico and he is really good friends with Kay Arthur (who I love!) I really need to figure out what his name is, so I can look him up. I've been super busy lately - I have two finals this Friday, and three on Monday, and then I am DONE for the semester-FINALLY!!!- And I start nursing school Jan. 6th :)

MY FIRST DEER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My precious cousin, Katie, and I...I cannot believe how big she has gotten!!!

two of my fave boys - my brother and dog :)

me and my precious baby!

reecent pictures:

This is Brandon and I after eating dinner at FIRE (which is really good, but kind of expensive) in Crestline Village

These are from our trip to Auburn for the AUBURN-LSU game....It was a lot of fun and a very good game...at least until the end, but even so we had a good time! Of course Brandon was a bit more upset than I was :)

BEACH TRIP

This post is long overdue, but better late than never- right?! I've been so busy with school and getting nursing app stuff done I haven't had time to even think about updating this. I had a wonderful time with all the children's ED girls....they are always so much fun! I appreciate you guys for letting me go and making me feel a part of the group even though I don't work there - YET! :) Anyway, sorry these pictures are so weird...my picasso account is messed up so I had to make the collages on paint, so they're pretty ghetto....just let me know if you want any of the pictures and I can email them to you!!!

Yesterday I celebrated my 21st birthday! It was a nice day....I had dinner with my family and Brandon. My mom was the only one who had met Brandon so the rest of the family finally got to meet him! At least they didn't scare him away - jk :) We went to Surin. I ordered a chocolate martini and I was so mad because the lady wasn't going to ID me until I asked her to! hahahah....Anyway, Friday night is when I'm celebrating with my friends. We are going to eat Kobe and then go sing Karaoke at STARZ on 280....We may end up hitting lakeview at some point that night but who knows?! I'm calling a cab. hahaha.....

Here are some pictures from last night:

me and my "twin".....we actually have another picture where we look more alike, but I will have to wait and post it when I get home 

SAN DIEGO MAKES ME HAPPY :)

I never update anymore....and apparently this displeases some people so I'm going to try to start keeping up with this thing again :) I am currently in San Diego...Miranda and I came out here to see Laura. I'm having the time of my life. It is beautiful. The weather is perfect. The people are extraordinary. I never want to come back (just kidding mom...but not really!) Here is a little briefing of the past few days:

-Monday we arrived in Orange County at the John Wayne airport around 10:00 (their time)...the flight was fine, unfortunately my bags had been left in Birmingham though (a very frustrating event....that would lead to me chewing out United Airlines the next day...and finally getting my bags at 8pm on Tuesday)

-After picking us up from the airpot, Laura showed us around town a little and we went to a local PB pub.

-Tuesday we spent the day at Balboa park with Laura's friend Matt. We ate at the most delicious restraunt EVER! That night we celebrated "taco tuesday" (a local san diego thing that consists of cheap tacos and great happy hours).....we then moved the party to a different hang out in PB....

-Wednesday morning Laura had to go to work :( so after getting the rental car Miranda and I tried to find a mcdonalds (oddly enough a hard feat out here) and then we made our way to the san diego zoo....Last night Miranda and I hung out with Laura's roomate Mikee and went to a few local bars and then ended up at "EN CAHOOTS" - A REAL COUNTRY LINE DANCING BAR IN SAN DIEGO! It was soooo much fun. We were supposed to go to some winerys today but we were all exhausted, so instead we are laying around watching movies and saving that for tomorrow. I wish I could post my pics but I didn't bring my camera cord :(

The Med school students had a formal last night, and I went with Brandon. I had so much fun. Here are some pictures from it::

Well I decided to make a blog since I haven't in so long...anyway, these are my Spring Break pictures. I had a great time, but the break wasn't nearly long enough. I need a vacation..again.

***For the most part, things are GREAT right now! I have so many wonderful blessings in my life! My eyes are being opened to new ones each and every single day!

---------------------------------------------------

***A little update on my life:

-I am DRIVING & NO MORE WALKING BOOT

-I am CONSTANTLY studying for school

-I LOVE teaching Children's Church at MountainView with Trisha - seriously, I feel so humbled to take on this role - I feel like it is helping me grow spiritually alot - I am so thankful God put me in this position!

---------------------------------------------------

***There are a few areas of my life that seem alittle more gray than they should - normally, I would be freaking out (because I tend to overanalyze things) but for now I am just riding things out...We'll see what happens....as much as I don't like it, I have to accept the fact that I don't know all the answers right now nor do I need to........hmmm....
