September is on a roll! We are back in school, both full time and working again! Here is a recap of August and also some clips from our new house! We love it here so far! It is a super quiet little neighborhood, we have awesome landlords (who live above us), Traci is our neighbor, and we are within a mile of work and school! And this new house has room to grow!

This is Kade as a new, big, bad 17 year old! I seriously cannot believe he is 17.

 Katie's birthday morning, surprised her with morning breakfast (waffles :)

 My handsome Daddy is now 50 years old! WOW

What a roller coaster this last 2 years of nursing school have been. I feel that I lost myself amidst the studies, clinical rotations, my new married life, and working all at the same time.

 Sadly, even when I did not want things to change, and certain areas of my life to compensate, it definitely happened anyway. However, through the struggle, I am proud to say that I made it through! And I even graduated with honors and a 3.99 GPA. I am so proud of myself...

So now I am on my way to finding myself again, focusing on my sweet husband, new job, and our future family! I am now working as a RN, and McKay-Dee hospital on the OB/GYN unit. I work with amazing people, and I am learning so much everyday. I am finally beginning to think that I really did choose the right career. (And it is weird alone, to think that I am old enough to be in a career!)

  

 

I found out that I passed my nursing states boards on my birthday! What a great surprise and gift that was. I am now 23 years old, the same as Ricky for a few months. We are still living in Ogden, and loving life.

We have had a busy summer, full of fun, in between our work schedules. We were able to go to Park City and just returned from the annual Bear Lake Trip. Drill, shopping, family BBQs and relaxing time has been our focus. We have been able to see our families quite a bit, although we wish we could even more. And sad to say, now that we are back around to August, we are gearing up for another busy school year!

I plan to keep the blog much more up to date, now that I have a little more spare time, and for this to be a place to keep family updated on our life!
