I met Matt Damon...I mean Matt Flyn ; )

We got a chance to meet Matt Flynn and Craig Steltz. Check it out...






P.S. We're not going to D.C. anymore for our Anniversary...We're going to Hawaii baby! Aloha!

A little of this...A little of that...

So it's been a while...not like that's anything new : ) I officially made it through my first semester of Nursing school and I'm just starting my second. Hayden is doing great. He's getting so big and he's just a ball of laughs. I think that kid could make me laugh on a rainy day when I'm in the worst of moods. He's truly a blessing. We're in the last stages of buying property. I think it works out to around 2 1/2 - 3 acres. So, that's definately exciting!! It seems like I don't have a ton of updates to post, but we've been so incredibly busy. Life never stops...not even for a moment. I'm just taking everything in and trying to live in the moment. In some exciting news Craig and I will be celebrating our 5 year anniversary this August. I know! Has it been that long? Yep! We're going to be taking a trip most likely to D.C. I've been once, but there's so much to do and see there I definately want Craig to be able to take in a part of America's past. Hawaii's a contender too, so we'll see. ;)

P.S. Go Tigers!! We'll be meeting Darry Beckwith On V-day at dinner at our Friends church. So That's really cool. Here are some old pics from the LSU - Ole Miss Game. They're too funny not to post. I love my purple pimp. haha...

LSU BABY!!!!!!!

LSU Vs. Ohio State for the 2008 BCS Championship babyyyy! Woo-hoo! And who would have thought? Certainly not me after the disappointing triple over time loss to Arkansas. But, fate intervened and we're heading to the Superdome! Just wanted to post a quick note to say how excited I am to see this team get to go. I truly believe they deserve to be there, and I certainly believe we'll walk away #1.

I have tons of pics to post, but no time right now. My last final is Wednesday so please keep me in your prayers, and I promise to update soon!

Ciao!

Is it over yet?

Almost! Five weeks left until the end of this semester. I know I've promised to keep you more updated then I have, but It's been ca-razy!!! I'm taking two classes right now: Fundamentals of Nursing and Pharmacology. The first fundamentals of nursing test was rough! 75% of the class failed AFTER the curve. I came out with a 72. Bummer! Thank goodness I brought it up test two with an 88 and test three helped more with a 90! Pharmacology is great. A 92 on the first test and an 82 on the second. Test three is right around the corner and so are finals! I can't believe it's almost over. It has flown by so quickly! I'm loving the field and I can't wait to be a nurse. Next summer I'm going to try to get a Nurse tech position at Woman's hospital on the Labor and delivery floor. I think that's were I'd like to end up, so I hope I can get my foot in the door.

The family is doing great! Craig probably feels like a single dad here lately since all I do is study, but he's been my biggest cheerleader and I'm so thankful for his support. Hayden is growing like a weed and he's just an all around sweet kid. Here are some up-to-date family pics:






Another reason why I'm so excited for this semester to be over is that I'll have way more time to spend with Hayden. I'll be a "stay at home mom" for about a month and a half...hehe. I can't wait!

In other exciting news...Craig and I along with a ton of our friends are going to the LSU-Ole Miss game. We're going down Friday night and we're going to make it a little weekend getaway. I'll post pics....I just don't know when : )

Yesterday we went to watch my little 7 year old cuz Cade ride his dirt bike at the track.

Isn't that the cutest thing you've ever seen? It was alot of fun watching him do his thing. Of course Hayden was looking just like his daddy all cute in his new chucks.

I'll keep updating whenever I get a chance. Till then........
Ciao!

Don't forget to Breathe

This is what I keep reminding myself - atleast since school started! I think the only thing I've done for the past week and a half is read. Oh Joy! I'm really enjoying school though. I love learning about the human body and why it does what it does! I hope to have more updates for you soon, but I'm just getting ready to go into my first test week after next, so I'll let you know how I come out.

Here's a semi-recent pic of Hayden:

We've gotten his fourth haircut since this pic, but he's as cute as ever! I can't believe my little boy is growing up so fast. He really is a blessing to me everyday - and an ABSOLUTE sweetheart!

I'll update everyone again soon. We took family photos right before school started, so hopefully I can post some new pics soon.

CIAO!
