Ice Damage '09

The Murano

The picture really doesn't do the damage justice. The windshield is cracked so much that the rearview mirror is hanging by a wire inside. The sun roof is busted and water is leaking in. A limb that you cannot see in the pic fell prior to this and busted the left tail light and left a dent in it. Also, just a couple of hrs ago, another limb fell right on top of the one in the picture. It is so depressing all I can do is laugh and think..' this is why i have full-coverage insurance.' Hope everyone else's things are fairing better than ours!

MY TEMP IS HERE

My temp came in!!! I start on Monday and I could not be more excited. Now I can worry about something else... like passing the NCLEX :). I scheduled myself to take it on Feb 28th. I have a good month to study like crazy and I plan to do so!

MLK

Martin Luther King Jr once said "Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere."

Temp License

As soon as I get my temp license I will be able to begin working as a RN. It is taking longer than normal so I have been pretty anxious lately and contracted a case of the "bots" (blahs). On Monday I plan to call and inquire about it..maybe speed up the process. I have been enjoying being at home though. I told Chase that I could totally be a stay-at-home wife. He said "I don't think so, scooter!" Hahaha It has been nice having the time to clean and catch up on laundry but I do need to begin work asap so remember me in your prayers. Love you all!

Self Love

The first and LAST tattoo. (My Dad does not know about this and never needs to!!)

Some Things I like

Chase

I love my husband very very much. When I look at these pictures I fall even more in love with him. Words can not describe how sweet, caring, funny, and smart he is. I thank God everyday for allowing me to spend my life with him.
