Last Couple of Days at Work

I have worked at Southwest Medical Urgent Care for 5 years. I started as a nurse apprentice and when I graduated a year later I was hired as a staff nurse. I have so many stories of the experiances I've had with these wonderful nurses. They have taught me so much. So many different personalities to have a blast with. We had so many pot-luck feasts. YUM! We would laugh so hard with each other all day long. Patient's enjoyed the team work atmosphere that they witnessed at urgent care. I am sure I will never forget the knowledge, friendships, experiances I was lucky enough to obtained while working with this team! Thanks SMA!

What is up with the model they chose?

???I saw this billboard all the time in Vegas and am so confused by it. So weird....???

Family Pictures

My dog is funny. I guess she likes our new family picture. Thanks Autumn!

Lake Mead

Jarom and I rented a wave runner before we left Las Vegas. The weather was so nice. I had never been on one before and we concluded that it was time! I loved it! He let me do most of the driving. I got the speed up 50mph. We rode for about 6 hours. Because I am so pale I wore a long sleeve shirt and a hat the whole time (not cute) . My legs where exposed with lots of sunblock. After 6 hours in direct sun, no evidience of a burn. I think I did pretty good.

Every time Jarom drove he wanted to ride it fast and then turn really hard. I hated this. I didn't want to be thrown off. I also didn't want to ruin the thrill he was seeking. So I convinced him to drop me off on the shore so he could ride however he wanted. He didn't last 2 min. riding the wave runner. It was funny. I did have valid fears. Earlier Jarom did convince me to jump off of the wave runner going 25 mile/hour. We both did it at the same time. That hurt!

San Diego Zoo

This is at the San Diego Zoo. The elephants get pedicures often. They use some heavy duty tools! Elephants where my favorite this year.

I think Jarom's favorite animal is the monkey...until it flung some questionable liquid towards him. It wasn't raining that day either. I think he kept looking up hoping to see a little black rain cloud...nothing but sun.

The Weirdest Funniest Situation!

So the family went on a boat excursion because Jarom loves the ocean. On the way back we noticed a bird was following the boat. Jarom's dad Jay had an apple and started biting off pieces and throwing them to the birds. This one bird would catch it too. Then all these people started to oooh and awwwe over the scene. One tourist, who barley spoke english, asked for a piece to throw to the bird. So...by the same means, Jay bit a piece off, pulled it out of his mouth, and gently handed it to they guy. He hesitantly accepted. I am pretty sure when he asked for some apple he did not mean directly from Jay's mouth. I could not stop laughing. Hands down the funnies thing we have seen Jay do.

Driving back from San Diego

Jarom likes his reeses to be as cold as possible. So gross... I could see the oil spillage in his coke when he pulled it out.

The things we do to entertain ourselves on road trips.

Charles fell asleep while driving to work

He's okay...see he's standing there. A cut to his head...cuts on his wrist...a very sore neck with seat belt marks. Thank goodness.

Congratulations!

Charles & Amber are married!

The reception

Mother's Day

This year for Jarom's mom we made her an edible arrangements. It was hard not to eat the fruit while making it. Jarom got me a card from my Autumn (my dog). I loved it.

All Jarom wanted for Graduation...a banana split $20 worth.

If he finished he would have gotten his name on the wall. Don't worry, he didn't finish.

Jarom's Graduation

Jarom's parents treated us to a graduation dinner. It was amazing. I couldn't eat any more. I got Alaskan King crab legs. So good.

Enjoying dinner.

Dental Graduation Gala

It was so much fun to dress up.

TEXAS ***Home Sweet Home***

I love all the flowers in Texas. The vacation wasn't initially suppose to be Texas. My parents invited me to travel to Europe with them for 2 weeks! A chance of a lifetime. Yeah right! Of all the times to travel to Europe a volcano decided to erupt. Bad timing! I am still grateful I was able to fly home to visit with my parents and some family. Thanks mom and dad!

My mom brought home 2 kittens. There was a special at the rock yard...buy a bag of mulch and get a free kitten. They are so little. They crawl up my jeans. I love animals!
Sitting around the table with family on a Sunday afternoon. I think we are waiting for dessert.

I killed a gopher dead!

I feel a little bad but I shot a gopher. My dad has always had problems with gophers. I saw one and ran and got his .22 rifle. It was crazy. I shot it on the 1st try. My dad and I both looked at each other surprised by my skills. I will spare you guys the bloody pictures.

Pasta!

Making pasta with my parents! I love home-made noodles. It is a family event. I ate 3 servings. So yummy!

Havin' Fun!

I finally had time to take my niece, Lauren, out to have some fun. We went to lunch, got pedicures, and went shopping...and if you know me well enough I had to get ice cream. We had fun! If only I lived in Texas I could do more with my nieces and nephews.

Do I fit in?

Everywhere I went with mom and Cookie, someone had to comment on how they matched. So I wanted to fit in too. Did I pull it off? Haha Mom!

My new neice, Megan

She is smiling!

Only in Texas!

I was excited to see Cowboy Ronald.

Hold on tight!
Mom got on too!

Sexy Facial Hair

Jarom bought me a gift from the quarter machines. I loved it!

Hiking in the Mountains in April

It is 80 degrees down in the city. We where shocked to see snow 3 ft. deep in some places.

Easter

I made an Easter cake. All I had was a zip-lock bag and a pair of scissors to decorate the cake. Skills right? It was way too sweet with the amount of frosting that was used.
