So much to do.. and I'm blogging!

I feel like I should be working on other things, but a lot has happened in the last two weeks so I want to just hurry and catch up.
First, we ripped down the paneling finally, painted, and got a table! I was so excited to have the ugly paneling gone and its so nice to have a table to sit at to eat! Now we can actually have people over to eat as well. We are pretty excited.

Secondly, everything has gotten really busy lately. More work in school, getting a seasonal job at Bath & Body Works, and still trying to keep everything else caught up!
Third, we are so excited to go on a cruise in January. We are going with Chris' family and my parents. I'm so excited to go with them and have my parents come along! It will be fun to spend some time with some family. My dad hasn't really traveled much because he's always working so hard- I think he'll enjoy a little break. Maybe we'll get him hooked on traveling! Our cruise leaves from Miami, then we go to Isle Roatan, Cozumel Mexico, and Belize. It is a week long. I'm sure by the time January comes, we will be very ready for a vacation.
Fourth, classes are going well, despite quite a lot of work! I start clinicals in a just a few weeks! It will be fun to apply some of the things I"m learning though. It has been a lot of work so far, but I'm really liking nursing school.
Fifth, last weekend Haskells were able to come down. It was really fun getting to see them and spend a few days with them. Chris ended up having to work 12:30-9 on Friday and Saturday. I felt bad because he didn't get to see his family as much as I did! On saturday, we went to the UW game against Utah. It was fun, but again, I felt bad because Chris (who really wanted to go) wasn't able to go!
Lastly, today after class, I got to the car and there waiting for me was Chris and some flowers. I quickly tried to think if it was some special day or anniversary. After failing to come up with anything I asked what they were for. He told me "just because." He is such a sweetheart! (I think his father trained him well!). [He also took me to Sonic- our favorite place for drinks! I got a cherry lime diet coke (AMAZING) and he got an orange cream slush(also pretty delicious!).

I suppose I'll wrap it up, and if we survive this next week (2 tests, lots of studying, finishing 28 drug cards which take forever, and some case studies), I'll try to post again someday!
