it's really hard to get motivated for an online class. somehow my pajamas, blanket and netflix seem more appealing today...
that's all folks.

new year, new stuff
hey all. back from my blogging hiatus and it was glorious! i have taken some time since i graduated to find out what it means to really relax and enjoy moments with family. here is a chronicle of our december in no particular order:
1. i used my lovely anniversary present to get a massage, facial and pedicure. that was heavenly and i think i might need more excuses to visit the spa!
2. we went to scott's work party where he won this little beauty... now our lives are filled with apps and angry birds.
3. i graduated!
4. we attended the annual deyoung christmas party and saw some cute reindeer sing, did a piano duet, ate yummy food and sat on santa's lap. (p.s. my sarah salad was successful unlike many of my kitchen attempts.)
5. we talked to this adorable boy via skype. he is healthy, happy and almost home!
6. we played with the bostwicks and took home a sweet prize from the auction... a babycakes maker. needless to say, we have an overabundance of mini cupcakes at our house.
7. i've completed two books in two weeks that had previously taken me over six months to get through the first 50 pages. it's wonderful the focus you can have when not in school!
8. i submitted my nurse practitioner application to the university of utah. it is officially out of my hands!
9. scott is heading up two different jobs for his company: one in lehi and another in pleasant view. go him! pleasant view days are my favorite because he's home at 5:30 every night :)
10. we have also made some new years resolutions for 2012 that may prove challenging (at least for me).
- pay off the truck
- remodel the bathroom
- cut out soda completely
- eat healthier and at home more often
- by completing the above two mentioned, participating in a mountain
bike relay this summer
- make more time for each other
here's wishing you a belated merry christmas and a happy new year!

graduation
picking up my cap and gown today! i'm excited even though i'm wearing an "apricot" colored tassel (who comes up with these?) i want to thank everyone that has helped me on the way to earning my degree. i appreciate all your love, support and advice.
i'm attending an honors banquet tonight where each participant is supposed to take a few minutes to talk about what their education means to them. i'm nervous but glad to have this opportunity. weber state is the greatest school i could have ever attended. sure it gets a bad rap for being a commuter school and fairly small compared to other utah universities. but i'm proud to be an alumna of the wildcats! the nursing program has made the transition from school to work very seamless. i feel prepared to meet the demands of my career because of the hands-on education i received. where graduates are having hard times securing positions after school, i feel very lucky to have been trained by such an awesome faculty and to have a job. so i guess that's what my education means to me.
it will be much more polished tonight i hope. haha. have a wonderful wednesday!
