This will also be the first time in 5 years that all of us kids will be together again. I am so excited and yes I will post lots of pictures from that trip.

What I did, and accomplished, was I took all 4 classes offered for this semester of nursing school at once. Most people will either break it up into 2 semesters or more. But I was told that I probably would not be able to do it, and that even honor students struggle passing all of the classes. I think that is what pushed me even more to try it. I took OB, <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Geriatics</span>, Pediatrics, and Pharmacology, plus the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">clinicals</span>, all in the same semester. What <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">alot</span> of my other classmates are doing is they are going to take Pharmacology this summer and then will be still be on track with me to graduate this December. But I wanted to have the summer off, and <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">dangit</span>, I just wanted to show them that anything is possible. The other major factor that played into me having a difficult time trying to pass all of these classes at once was the fact that I have to work full time. So this is kind of a run down of how my semester went, Monday 9am-2pm class, Tuesday 9am-3pm class, Wednesday 6am-3pm <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">clinicals</span>, Thursday 6am-3pm <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">clinicals</span>, Thursday 7pm-7am work at the hospital, Friday 7pm-7am work at hospital, Saturday 7pm-7am work at hospital, Sunday....rest, then start all over on <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">monday</span>. So needless to say, it has been a very busy semester. And just to toot my horn even louder, I was the only one in my class to do this and pass everything too. <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9">Alot</span> of people had to drop one or more of the classes, but I stuck through and it payed off in the end. And the funny thing was, at the end of April they have a party at the beach called the mullet toss, where every one and there dog goes down to the beach from <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10">thursday</span> through <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11">monday</span>, and it is held on the Alabama/Florida state line. The name "Mullet Toss" comes from the fact that you throw a mullet (fish) over the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12">alabama</span>/<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_13">florida</span> state line. It is basically a big redneck party. Well to make a long story short (because I will be posting a separate post about this) I had 2 exams that following <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_14">monday</span> and <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_15">tuesday</span>. I stayed down there at the beach all the way until 2:30am Monday morning and drove back to <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_16">montgomery</span>, <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_17">alabama</span>, got to class at 9am, and still passed the exam with high flying colors. <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_18">Alot</span> of my classmates were mad at me cause they knew that I had been at the beach all weekend long, whereas they had been cooped up in the house all weekend long studying. Sure I did some studying on the side, but I also enjoyed myself too. But that was just a side note to this whole experience. But <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_19">anywho</span>. I have just one semester left, fall semester, and then I will be graduating this December from nursing school with my RN. </div></div>Erikahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13584954926102898637noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6611043972238516287.post-68054403625930709682009-04-06T15:40:00.003-05:002009-04-06T18:11:42.084-05:00Venting!!!!!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhb0ym94LAxSLIqmFNlY0OU5OogyLZJUSUZlAtReDWcDGPn46NWebEsZvNH0TWAHE2j6njBwHkM5a5_P4VCpvn6pwTcKguXqNjx8UiGYoWQ2bWvHNc1K5O_svJsms7xiG5i0m8FblNGSx9z/s1600-h/spring.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5321700018805544370" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhb0ym94LAxSLIqmFNlY0OU5OogyLZJUSUZlAtReDWcDGPn46NWebEsZvNH0TWAHE2j6njBwHkM5a5_P4VCpvn6pwTcKguXqNjx8UiGYoWQ2bWvHNc1K5O_svJsms7xiG5i0m8FblNGSx9z/s320/spring.jpg" border="0" /></a>(This is a picture that I took with my cell phone the other day while on a walk. The flowers are so pretty here in the spring. My mom told me that this a naked blossoming magnolia, I think. Its named that because it has no foliage (leaves) on the limbs, only these pretty flowers.)<br /><br /><div> </div><div>I know I have not posted a "Post" in a while and so I figured that today would be the perfect day to do some venting and catching up. Well as most of yall know I am in nursing school full time and really don't have much in the way of time to think because between going to school, clinicals and working a full time job (only to keep a roof over my head, cause I don't suggest working while in school) I hardly have time to think. </div><div> </div><div>So with nursing school, I only have 1 more semester left and will hopefully graduate in December (they don't offer summer classes). Well this semester has been interesting in seeing how much I can do without killing myself. I decided, against my councelors advicement, to take the full load of classes this semester. Which would include Gerontology, Obstetrics, Pediatrics, and Pharmacology. I did have the option to take pharmacology in the summer, which is what 99% of my classmates are doing, but decided that I wanted to be able to have the summer off, and start my final semester this fall, refreshed. </div><div> </div><div>Well so far I am doing good in all of my courses and clinicals, besides pediatrics theory. I am barely above the water and am trying not to drown with the rest of the class, which out of 88 people, only 3 are actually passing. I am really close to passing and hope that this last test will bring it up to passing. So as you can see, it is not us, but the teacher that has the problem. This has been a continual problem in past semesters, but our semester is the first to stand up against her. It is literally this teacher's mission to try and fail us all, I kid you not, and because of racial tensions in the south, no one will stand up to her (because she is black, and are so afraid of a lawsuit that they would rather see us all fail than to do something about her teaching and testing methods. This is something that I have only seen in the south, by the way). But anyways. </div><div> </div><div>Well to get to the point of why I am venting. I have been really freaking out that I will not pass this semester (because of freaking pediatrics) and will not graduate until May of 2010. So today I had 2 exams, one in pediatrics and one in pharmacology. Well the one in pediatrics is one of the last 3 exams that I have in this class, including the final, and I have to do good on them all in order for me to pass. </div><div> </div><div>So needless to say, last night was an all nighter. So this morning driving to school, I was in tears because I have been so discuraged this semester because of not being able to do good in pediatrics and called my dear brother Stephan, and asked him to say a pray for me over the phone. It was very sweet and I know that the Lord helped in calming me down and helping me with the tests. So I found out right before I was on my way home from school that I had passed my pharmacology test, and was still waiting on the results of my pediatric test. I was so happy, and quite frankly couldn't believe that I passed the pharmacology test because I focused mainly on pediatrics. </div><div> </div><div>I was on my way home (after having been awake for more than 24 hours), and was just so happy. I was within walking distance to pulling in my driveway, and I got pulled over. I know I was not speeding (because I have one of those nifty radar detectors, and I knew there was a cop around, so I was being good). Well the cop pulled me over. I just figured it was license and insurance check. Well he walks up, just as cool as he can be, and I asked what the problem was, in my cute little southern bell accent. He said, now get this, he said that he was pulling me over for the fact that my tint on my car was too dark. I was floored. I hate to say it, but I have been pulled over before in the great state of Alabama for speeding (hence the radar detector), and have not once been told that my tint was too dark. Then on top of that, I didn't have my current insurance card, I had everyone other one that I have had in the past 3 years but not my current one. And you know the funny thing, not once when I have been pulled over before, have I been asked for my insurance card, until this time. (Alabama doesn't require proof of insurance to get your tags renewed each year, nor do they require yearly safety inspection of your car. Because if they did, half the cars in this state would be condimed.) </div><div> </div><div>Well needless to say he gave me a ticket for my car tint and no insurance. I said to him that he must have been really bored to give me these tickets, and he stuttered and said that "this was his job". Well I said to him, "Remember me if and when you have to come in the ER to be treated and I am your nurse and I decide not to dumb you before I stick a 10 inch catheter down your pee pee hole because "It's my job". I bet you'll be wishing you hadn't been bored that day when you gave me those stupid tickets." And I smiled at him just as smoothly as I could, and all he could get out of his jaw dropped expression was "Have a nice day". </div><div> </div><div>Well needless to say, I called my mom just histerically crying cause I just feel like with every good thing that goes on with me, there is just as bad or worse a thing that comes shortly after. I just can't seem to find a happy medium. And I don't mean to be saying "poor pittiful me", but my whole nursing school experience has been filled with nothing but extreme lows and very little highs. I know that the advisary is working so hard on me to make me give up, and I also know that the Lord won't give me more than I can handle, but you know sometimes, I'm like "give me a break, in fact, give my mom, siblings and me a break". So every now and then, I meet my breaking point, and have a melt down. But (as my mom always says) "Besides that Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?" Well I guess I am done for now, I know it is a long post, but I definetly feel better, and it gave me something to do while I sit here and wait to see if I passed my pediatrics test............</div><div> </div><div>Well before I got done posting this, I got a phone call telling me that the grades were up. And the vertic is.....I GOT AN A. This is honestly the first A I have ever made on any of my nursing exams. I am a usual B average student, so needless to say, this has come as a shock to me. But yay me. The Lord really is on my side, I guess I just sometimes fail to realize it.<br /></div><div> </div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div>Erikahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13584954926102898637noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6611043972238516287.post-11745686641364545452009-02-24T21:03:00.004-06:002009-02-25T16:32:33.518-06:00Update, well kinda.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0X_vsf_AfKzWBkxAvbgu6TzKTxwbW9DNl0rDL6V6JSX7259oEh42BZf2nLYVs3X3rH6EXSKTDIl0Le2__sV6jvX2CeAdZl669akZr4cptLdlxhsL88vurwjNJGaQhJISz5sNQeEnrWAXa/s1600-h/P7040527.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0X_vsf_AfKzWBkxAvbgu6TzKTxwbW9DNl0rDL6V6JSX7259oEh42BZf2nLYVs3X3rH6EXSKTDIl0Le2__sV6jvX2CeAdZl669akZr4cptLdlxhsL88vurwjNJGaQhJISz5sNQeEnrWAXa/s320/P7040527.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5306567313164686178" border="0" /></a> I know that this picture is old, but that is probably the<br /> most recent, and I am also looking forward to when I can<br /> be out in the summer sun again. Yay.<br /><br /><br />Well I thought that I would just update you all with the happenings of my so uninteresting life that I am living here in Alabama. Well lets see, where do I start. Ummm, well a couple of weeks ago I got into a verbal altercation(in a trailor park) with a girl that is basically after my man. Well we were all good up until she called me a fat A$$. Thats when all the good up bringing was thrown way out the door. So in a nut shell, I told her where to go and how to go there in a very timely fashion. And even after all of that, her 100 pound sopping wet butt still wanting to "kick my butt". I could have just sat on her and it would have been over with right then and there. Oh and by the way, calling a southern girl "White-trash" is like calling a black person a "Ni&&er". Which truly surprised me cause I just kept calling her it (which she really is, and maybe thats the reason why she hated me calling her that) and that is when Ray (my boyfriend) got into the middle of it and stopped it from getting that far. And then besides all the drama of life as a southern bell, that has pretty much been it for me right now. I am just way busy with school and trying to pass and get it over with. I am currently in my pediatric rotaion and am loving my little kid patients. I am hoping to come out to Utah sometime soon, that is if I could get up and actually work and make some money. Well I hope that yall are all doing good and I hope to see yall soon.Erikahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13584954926102898637noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6611043972238516287.post-2983919263561768842008-12-09T19:28:00.009-06:002008-12-09T20:33:41.048-06:00I think I need kids<div align="center">This is my precious baby, Dixie</div><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2cND4Xkmx2Sl3HQozwitAARczL3vFcXsDYQdgTMVUJzTBCWWRk7coAmDVnFgRGsl3uyAnECLqB4yvgKNz3mTBYymayu40pfap-yI_Tc3XOBaIa6U6xMNf9er_EWZkuBNTh4NO9o5ltdbr/s1600-h/PC080249.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5277975197342938018" style="DISPLAY: block;

But for as cute as they are, they have to be dressed up. If you are wondering, Dixie is a mix between a Chiuahua and Papion, and Roxie is a mix between a Yorkie and a Chiuahua. They both are only 4 pounds each. They sleep with me every night and have been wonderful companions to me for about 3 years now. I am going to try and bring them out to Utah for Christmas, so that they can see the snow and meet the rest of the family, but it is like 300 dollars to take them on the plane with me. So we will see. Now that I am done with this semester, I obviously have a bit more time on my hands, so this is what I do in my free time......dress my dogs up and take pictures of them. No wonder I don't have any friends out here. lol. <div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><br /></div>Erikahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13584954926102898637noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6611043972238516287.post-40294884562679471462008-12-08T10:58:00.006-06:002008-12-08T11:37:51.794-06:00December at the Beach<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-tecRmoCoqeIidysz2XMGVOpn4q_Lo3mkHOM9t_fIs4471N2VqX-d9UT-XvQACvn3q6wopGOmpaMr9yqGx9fv6qmZwDRMlsjgDHpFy-hjnbfI92NR73B_lA5hfz4xqY23cqOPMmjqSyTa/s1600-h/PC060214.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5277474579666709058" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-tecRmoCoqeIidysz2XMGVOpn4q_Lo3mkHOM9t_fIs4471N2VqX-d9UT-XvQACvn3q6wopGOmpaMr9yqGx9fv6qmZwDRMlsjgDHpFy-hjnbfI92NR73B_lA5hfz4xqY23cqOPMmjqSyTa/s320/PC060214.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEge4Eug4LIh-yFnelclw5N6lpVg5hyYlQJ_Chs5KfzoGXbs_6Ny0-H7Vr50Y2gcUqfj9Wea7xkmZEpiLW4M8-HI3HXqEM7R4WRtF6_42UMGMAfK52ahyigOnh2Zd96QKjCJMNzppANozGGd/s1600-h/PC060218.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5277473650208700978" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEge4Eug4LIh-yFnelclw5N6lpVg5hyYlQJ_Chs5KfzoGXbs_6Ny0-H7Vr50Y2gcUqfj9Wea7xkmZEpiLW4M8-HI3HXqEM7R4WRtF6_42UMGMAfK52ahyigOnh2Zd96QKjCJMNzppANozGGd/s320/PC060218.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgD93hZ7nf_pNeCGM0k6N2pDOkGa8Aik6WbzSvWoaw3ijPiRfqB3RKLAILKHDenV-oq13v6SBXi8RhKNmwWnDOtUYWcO9bwM6mfis-XDnSyENfIhxcMHdOuq9314znKmMkg8RDXoALEG9RU/s1600-h/PC060212.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5277473109238666114" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgD93hZ7nf_pNeCGM0k6N2pDOkGa8Aik6WbzSvWoaw3ijPiRfqB3RKLAILKHDenV-oq13v6SBXi8RhKNmwWnDOtUYWcO9bwM6mfis-XDnSyENfIhxcMHdOuq9314znKmMkg8RDXoALEG9RU/s320/PC060212.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFtaLxEY2zN0NZOuufQWz9SwT1ExhJ7dA37STU4kQNYmJPgS_0Lv3sUHmGSGlaRMU_r-zc70aidPXnTkzmxFA1JzuRtOR1E84XR3H1RjCzopa5oTlhASWYRaIcq-dvZKW-JDZfajuYxz1Z/s1600-h/PC060209.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5277472783604168578" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFtaLxEY2zN0NZOuufQWz9SwT1ExhJ7dA37STU4kQNYmJPgS_0Lv3sUHmGSGlaRMU_r-zc70aidPXnTkzmxFA1JzuRtOR1E84XR3H1RjCzopa5oTlhASWYRaIcq-dvZKW-JDZfajuYxz1Z/s320/PC060209.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><div>Well this past week was my finace's birthday and so I thought that it would be nice to get out of town and go somewhere. Well I found a hotel down in Pensacola Beach, Florida for just 19 dollars a night. You can't beat that. It was probably that cheap because of the fact that it is only 50 to 60 degrees down there and no one is going to be wanting to lay out on the beach. But it was nice to get away from Alabama for a minute, especially when it is only a 2 and a half hour drive to get to Florida. It was kinda weird to down at the beach and it be so cold, but the beach was still very pretty and the water was beautiful. I was kinda nervous though to go to the beach because the last time I was at the beach was this past summer when I got the fateful call from my mom telling me that my grandmother had passed away. But the trip went well and it was nice to get away for a little while. I am almost done with my finals for school and then will be out for winter break and will be coming home to Utah for Christmas.

I only have 2 more semesters left and I will be done with school and will be a Registered Nurse. Yea. I thought I would post a couple pictures of me in my way gay nurses outfit and of some of the girls that I am in school with. We had a way fun time this past semester in clinicals. Lots of different patients but that keeps things interesting and fun at times, seeing as which for my last week of clinicals, my patient had severe mental problems and decided to scratch me within the first 30 minutes of me taking care of him. And of course this all had to happen the last week that I had clinicals. But whatever, at least it is over with and I will just have 2 more semesters after this one and then I will be done with school and Alabama.<br /><br /></div><br /><div></div>Erikahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13584954926102898637noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6611043972238516287.post-29715154167498699322008-10-05T01:28:00.004-05:002008-10-05T01:41:07.969-05:00I think I need some help<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEin3xKRETaPlacI8hBWMt_iNbTasT8m9P0p2cSA5xUaAlOnJFDglBPgbvmruLk3nP84z_W7kkCxAXRxd8dWDozt8-g7nU8ysLq2tTTp87a1eVIRFl07IXB05GVIMAfuwy0zGqnvSsUDNbsJ/s1600-h/P9200023.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5253554697908504018" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEin3xKRETaPlacI8hBWMt_iNbTasT8m9P0p2cSA5xUaAlOnJFDglBPgbvmruLk3nP84z_W7kkCxAXRxd8dWDozt8-g7nU8ysLq2tTTp87a1eVIRFl07IXB05GVIMAfuwy0zGqnvSsUDNbsJ/s320/P9200023.JPG" border="0" /></a> I think I failed to mention that I have a total of 4 closets in my house too.

Well I thought that I would just try and organize my clothes so that I could acutally see what I all had and to put it in better places so that I could find them easier. Well as I started to unpack, I realize that I could probably wear something new and different everyday for the next year or two. The thing is that I don't just go shopping all the time, I am just a pack rat. I can't seem to give anything away. And when I do go shopping, I don't ever spend or pay full price for clothes. I always shop when there are sales going on. I should take a picture of all the shoes I have too, but I think I need to tackle my clothes situation first and then try and organize my clothes. </div></div>Erikahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13584954926102898637noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6611043972238516287.post-64273531010873534332008-10-05T00:54:00.005-05:002008-10-05T01:27:44.609-05:00Moving<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirjLfWUrbY5XEosrFm2ZQLlSYxkVDsqqvhlMLNCvKsqIMnWe3i455XkP0Lru3B5dlfrt-_mhZ0I7bh79-_l7NCkl1pskkAd7no6_Cz8Kl1nmmqC-x8SzqzVshLeBn8JdSQA8rn_3FEDyZi/s1600-h/P9270043.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5253551525500083266" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirjLfWUrbY5XEosrFm2ZQLlSYxkVDsqqvhlMLNCvKsqIMnWe3i455XkP0Lru3B5dlfrt-_mhZ0I7bh79-_l7NCkl1pskkAd7no6_Cz8Kl1nmmqC-x8SzqzVshLeBn8JdSQA8rn_3FEDyZi/s320/P9270043.JPG" border="0" /></a> This is the view of my backyard<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDHhJQhb1EkLHKREmLxKf4J144vCex1IqglEnlWs2F302Np7Tuf8e6YudbkQuGToF1fRVQ-V1X07d_0sQiCNY5j6qHWal4AOj1OT6NSGffkbWL2VvrVeLZlVinll84yLO-beI3zUwMYpK7/s1600-h/P9270044.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5253551531323351410" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDHhJQhb1EkLHKREmLxKf4J144vCex1IqglEnlWs2F302Np7Tuf8e6YudbkQuGToF1fRVQ-V1X07d_0sQiCNY5j6qHWal4AOj1OT6NSGffkbWL2VvrVeLZlVinll84yLO-beI3zUwMYpK7/s320/P9270044.JPG" border="0" /></a> This is what I look up at when I am laying on my hammock<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmEClIMN-DgDKFvCmJRZrxHcU_SvixiFvhK0C7OZRi1xRje06nK6RkaIE0PC5KVyREQkWNufV-uw9aijwQN86FtjXMoG52tIyOSvSpQiGGo2Ei95gjOiLOcOY3st6xJoaCS2Vf_4DHGLb6/s1600-h/P9270045.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5253551537724498738" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmEClIMN-DgDKFvCmJRZrxHcU_SvixiFvhK0C7OZRi1xRje06nK6RkaIE0PC5KVyREQkWNufV-uw9aijwQN86FtjXMoG52tIyOSvSpQiGGo2Ei95gjOiLOcOY3st6xJoaCS2Vf_4DHGLb6/s320/P9270045.JPG" border="0" /></a> This is just a couple of the hugh trees that are in my backyard.

Though the kitchen is small, these cool doors make up for it.<br /><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div>Well I am sure all of you know that my dear Grandmother passed away about 2 months ago. Well I was living with her and after she passed away, I had to move out. Well I have been living with friends and I have finally found a new place to live. It is a whole new experience for me, since in my 24 years of living, I have never completely lived all by myself. Now don't get me wrong, I have lived on my own and have payed my own way before, but I have always had someone else living with me. And those of you that know me, know that I am the most scary person known to man. I am scared of my own shadow. But I guess I need to grow up someday, so this is the day. Well I found a way cute place that is in a historic part of Montgomery, AL. It is a old house that was made into a duplex. It has 2 rooms and 1 bathroom and hardwood floors throughout. And the best thing about it is that the backyard is just wonderful. I have like 8 hugh oak trees in the back that completely shade the back deck and yard. And I have bamboo trees that are lining the fence line. And in the front yard I have Crape Meridles. My next door neighbor is a little quirky, but she is a good neighborhood watcher, which is nice since I work at night. And I guess I am not completely alone since I have my 2 way cute puppies. Even though they are only 4 pounds each, they are totally loyal and bark at strange noices. I know that if someone were to try and get me, that they would do there best to try and protect me. But anyway, here is a couple of pictures of my new place.</div></div></div>Erikahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13584954926102898637noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6611043972238516287.post-87708724351841382072008-08-10T18:57:00.003-05:002008-08-10T19:10:05.462-05:00Me and Ray<div align="left"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXjxEpTdabJlykNE_EccF4SAkac5ccZgfWC1nabYv-1cu7t2Ho_Iwrz7KI5gmVzzQBZjKd__QZK8hItbZEFtzUrWZSG0InmAEQAN7r3Jd_41vID1V6-ZfwnMQWN0qbTOvy5lfaQOI9BWhL/s1600-h/l_a4c765bb14087d120b104995641548f3.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5233042901269626850" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXjxEpTdabJlykNE_EccF4SAkac5ccZgfWC1nabYv-1cu7t2Ho_Iwrz7KI5gmVzzQBZjKd__QZK8hItbZEFtzUrWZSG0InmAEQAN7r3Jd_41vID1V6-ZfwnMQWN0qbTOvy5lfaQOI9BWhL/s320/l_a4c765bb14087d120b104995641548f3.jpg" border="0" /></a> As you can see, I was a playboy bunny and Ray was Hugh Hefner for Halloween last year.

His name is Ray but out here in Alabama, everyone calls him Bubba. He has been called that ever since he was little. I know by Ray cause I met him at work and they call him that there. But all of his family and friends call him Bubba. Which by the way, I think is freakin hillarious. But anyway. I met Ray a little over 2 years ago at the post office. We both worked there delievering the mail, which was so much fun. I got to drive one of the mail trucks and everything. We were friends for about a year and then he decided to give a relationship a try. So we have been dating since June of 2007. This past Christmas he asked me to marry him. We had opened all of our christmas presents and then he gave me this card that he had written a sweet note in it and then at the bottom of the card, it asked if I would marry him. I looked up from the card and he was down on his knee with my ring. It was way sweet. And this past June he came out to Utah to meet the family. He had never been that far away from home, and it was a big eye opener. He really like Utah though. And hopefully, when I get done with school, I can get him to move back home with me. But no, we have not set a date to get married yet. I have to finish school before I can get married. I am on the GI Bill, which is paying for all of my schooling and books, but I can't get married or I will loose the benefits. But its all good. So yeah, I guess that is the overall of Ray and me.<br /><br /></div>Erikahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13584954926102898637noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6611043972238516287.post-72555576370435254852008-08-08T08:45:00.007-05:002008-08-10T19:35:42.499-05:00Utah Trip<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKPtjr6qh0ddcebDXd9lmZsUADwgdeTc0YQmhyphenhyphenFzsMMZiN8dYdOyS2WXhllwOPeHZiJJbIBxnmCvllG434qVIvVF53CmaF3qWYATsDDzjtZn5lhI4OA0uUAyXb2-XABHLtln-IONwQjExY/s1600-h/l_3d8671f562fab28604d7817f1444f484.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5233051991421897346" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKPtjr6qh0ddcebDXd9lmZsUADwgdeTc0YQmhyphenhyphenFzsMMZiN8dYdOyS2WXhllwOPeHZiJJbIBxnmCvllG434qVIvVF53CmaF3qWYATsDDzjtZn5lhI4OA0uUAyXb2-XABHLtln-IONwQjExY/s320/l_3d8671f562fab28604d7817f1444f484.jpg" border="0" /></a> Me and the boys (Tommy, Jacob and Fred) on top of Snowbird.

We had a really good time getting to see everyone and the boys had a good time checking out the new boyfriend and giving their approval of him. Its amazing how all of my brothers are younger than me, yet they have assumed the role of my older brothers in that they are very protective of me. Funny. And I guess that now I am the smallest of them all, I guess they do need to watch out for me now. I still can't believe how big they have all gotten. Even Corrye is taller than me.<br /><br /><br /></div></div>Erikahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13584954926102898637noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6611043972238516287.post-11788053710600863462008-08-07T16:39:00.002-05:002008-08-10T19:33:43.460-05:00Grandmother<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiH1oWxbJT4etneIhL-av_j6z49IInjvOnerejKcOg4m1RPMeXh8Xl_3GvWZ3xB9jOBCWwoj0zRkC2sCgdkA4dRcHxtQi641Ebp9z14u16SRCBYxzHLtX-GwE1c8MM-3MaKdAYAsbSXh0to/s1600-h/GRANDMOTHER.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5231899006137861666" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiH1oWxbJT4etneIhL-av_j6z49IInjvOnerejKcOg4m1RPMeXh8Xl_3GvWZ3xB9jOBCWwoj0zRkC2sCgdkA4dRcHxtQi641Ebp9z14u16SRCBYxzHLtX-GwE1c8MM-3MaKdAYAsbSXh0to/s320/GRANDMOTHER.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div>Well as some of you know, my sweet Grandmother passed away suddenly about 3 weeks ago on July 10th. I am still in shock over it. She was healthy as a horse and had at least 10-15 years of good living and she just suddenly passed away at home. I have been living with her for the past 3 years now, and was going to continue living with her until I finished nursing school. She was not only my Grandmother, but my best friend. Through thick and thin, she was there for me. And I especially needed her, seeing as which all of my immediate family lives in Utah, and I don't have much in the way of friends down here in Alabama. I don't know if it is me or just the girls down here but I don't feel like I click into their clicks all that well. And besides that, I always had Grandmother, and so I didn't feel like I needed to really make all that much in the way of friends. My uncle describes me and my Grandmother as a couple of teenagers, always sneeking off and getting into trouble. And that is exactly how we were. We would go to the movies together, go shopping or just hang out at home and watch our favorite TV shows together. I still really can't believe that she is gone. I still have 3 more semester left of nursing school and now I am having to find a new place to live and a new job. What a 2 and a half years this has been. Since I have moved to Alabama, I have lost my Granddaddy, then 8 months later, I lost my Dad, and now my Grandmother. I know that God will only give you as much as you can handle, but here lately, I think that he is a bit over confident in me.<br /></div><br /><p></p>Erikahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13584954926102898637noreply@blogger.com1
