The girls were pouting






My Aunt Tami and cousin Kati stopped by Christmas night! We had a TON of fun with them!

Cabin Trip

We went up to the Ferdig's cabin and had fun watching movies and sledding...the girls even came with!

There was quite a bit of old snow on the ground but we totally missed a good storm a few days after we left! :(

This will probably be the last trip for us for a while since I am working weekends now...

4 Blocks Down...1 to Go!!!

This semester consisted of community health, I did my clinical at a elementary school and played school nurse; home health, I chose Hospice of the Valley for my rotation and LOVED it; and mental health, clinicals were at CHEEERS for outpatient and Banner Thunderbird for inpatient - very interesting, some people I will never forget! Thunderbird had 2 units - Sandia which was for mentally ill patients and Cascade for chemical dependency (my favorite).

I fell in love with my patients in hospice and definitely had a hard time saying goodbye - sweet people! Hospice nurses are amazing, they give families such support during trying times! Maybe down the road I will find my "home" at a hospice agency.

Here are some pictures from today after our final...


Me and Leanda. Just found out she is pregnant - she and Pete will have cute babies!


Me and Rachael
