Checking Back In

I checked out for a bit as I have been busy with school, work, holidays, family, birthday and such.

Here I am!

Alive. Well. Drinking hot cocoa!

Christmas was awesome. Jamie and I went down to my parents for Christmas Eve and Christmas morning. I had to return back to work that afternoon so we went back home so I could work. (Lame!) I enjoyed Christmas morning even though there were no kids around just us adults (Jamie, my parents, and I) We exchanged gifts and ate cinnamon rolls after. My parents bought me some nice sweaters and Jamie bought me diamond earrings! My very first REAL diamonds! I love them so much. I feel like a princess. He must really love me a lot!!! On the 26th I drove back to my parents for a few days so I could spend some time with my family that was at their in laws for Christmas. Then I again returned back to work on the 28th. Lucky me.

For my birthday the previous week I went to Utah to visit my sister. We went snowboarding and had a TON of fun. My sister is so amazing she made me a cake and made a pink crown that went of the top of it. It was so AWESOME! My brother in law was so sweet to watch the kids so we could go snowboarding not 1, but 2 days. Even my parents came up to Utah. I had been teasing my dad about going to see his grandkids so they came up the same weekend. It was fun to have them there. We went and looked at some amazing Christmas lights and drank hot chocolate. It snowed and was beautiful. I got a new dress that I have been looking at for MONTHS! My sister and brother in law made me this slide show dvd of pictures to music. It is AWESOME. It shows pictures from SOOOO long ago. Memories that I had almost forgotten.

At the end of the day I may be a poor student that is working her butt off, but my family means the world to me. I would do anything for them. I am so glad that I have been able to spend so much time with them recently. I love my nieces and nephews. They are my WORLD! Each of them has their own unique personality. It's so fun to have them all there. Yes things did get CRAZY, LOUD, and WILD, but I wouldn't change it for the world. I have 2 brothers, 2 sisters, 4 nieces, and 8 nephews. I may not have much at this point in my life, but I have it all with my family. I have love, laughter, and more fun than anyone can imagine. Thank you God for giving me such a big family with a lot of love!

Break

This was written December 11

I have so much to catch up on! First today I finished my final in my first block of nursing school! YIPPEE!!! I'm so excited to have that down under my belt. I know the next 3 blocks are going to be quite stressful as I continue to live and work in one place and go to school in a completely different place. Life is crazy! I have about a month off, but it's going to be just as busy as school time. This week is my birthday so I'm flying to Utah to go snowboarding and hang out with my sister and her family. To top off the fun my parents decided they are going to come up as well. It's going to be a blast! My sister and I were worried about it not snowing, but good news... it snowed!!!

Last month I went and saw my dr about the girly issues that have been complicating things in my life! He suggested I do the mire.na. They are coming out with a smaller one for girls that have never had babies. I just am a little worried because I've heard bad things about it. I talked to my dr about some of my fears like of it perfing my uterus. He said that it only perfs when it's being inserted if the dr pushes it, but I don't do that. If I meet resistance then I don't push. He said they take an ultrasound after one month to make sure it's still in place.

I don't know what to think about it.
