I Just completed my first semester of nursing school and I couldn't be happier!!! It was a very long semester! Coming from BYUI where semesters are shorter to begin with, add in starting class 1 month before the rest of the school began Fall semester, and then ending a week after everyone else finished…makes for a lonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnng semester. So needless to say, I am pooped! I completed 29 of the total 72 credit hours it takes for me to graduate just this semester, and I have winter and spring semester left and then I'll graduate with my BSN in nursing!!! I can't believe it honestly! These last 5 months have been really like a roller coaster. We started with 32 students in our class, and we've lost 3, soon a 4th…she is having a baby, and gained 1. The program is grueling and you have to make the grades and can't miss any days other wise your dropped from the program. We are constantly taking tests, some of which you have to get a 100 or you don't get to move on to the next course, and believe me, they don't try to make these tests easy. But I guess this is what I signed up for when I applied for an accelerated nursing program that takes 1 year to complete a Bachelor's. Some days I'm stoked to be back in school and other days I'm complaining to Eric, asking him why I ever talked him in to letting me go back to school! hahhaha But I am so glad we made this decision and I know it was the right one! I love working in the hospital and taking care of the patients and feeling like I'm actually helping them heal. I can't wait for next semester because I will begin my Maternal Child rotation, working in a local hospital in labor and delivery, NICU, and PICU. But I couldn't attend school without the support of my wonderful family, especially my mom! She is renting her house out to us fully furnished for hardly anything a month, gave me her car to use since we are now a one car family till I graduate, and always treating us to dinner and trips. Most of all I am grateful for a husband who supports me and works his booty off everyday at a job he loves, but would love more if it paid better! :) He is the greatest thing that has ever happened to me aside from the gospel of Jesus Christ and I love him more and more everyday. He is my best friend, my rock, and the one always making me believe in myself and my abilities. He knows exactly how to cheer me up, handle me when I'm stressed, and love me when I'm unloveable. He is the glue that holds us together when I feel like falling down. I'm so thankful Heavenly Father brought him into my life 6 years ago. It's hard to believe that 2 years ago he dropped to one knee and proposed to me in front of thousands of people at Epcot. I love you ERIC to the moon and back………for forever! :)
On a side note, we went and saw the Hobbit last night! We loved it of course, but I told Eric we need to do a Lord of the Rings marathon because I've only seen the first movie all the way though and it was years ago. You should have seen his face struck with awe and horror! hahaha I know that sounds nerdy, and these are so not my typical movies I watch, but my husband loves them and has read all the books, and well, it's our little secrete, but I actually really like the movies!
Also I have to share this because I would be doing you all an injustice if I didn't, but here are 2 music videos from one of my new favorite duo I've been listening to! They're amazing and can literally sing any genre of music! Enjoy, and spread the word about their awesomeness!
