Just a few things:

1. I love my baby boy.

2. I have become a stay at home mom/housewife and I am utterly bored.

3. I take the NCLEX June 10, at 10 am.

4. Still no job prospects, but I got a formal rejection.

5. Krystle and Lee are the epitome of married cuteness.

6. I love my aunt Joanie because she's so accepting, sweet, and selfless.

7. Out! Spray is my new best friend.

My baby boy Dakota and his cousin Savannah.

I AM A NURSING SCHOOL GRADUATE!!!

30 Days...

Well peeps, in just 6 more days I will be a nursing school graduate! In just 9 short days, I will be a proud parent to my little fur-baby Dakota. In one in a half months I leave to go to England/Germany for 2 weeks! Now...if only i could find a job. : ( What happened to that nursing shortage? All the major hospitals in the Texas Medical Center (which by the way is HUGE) are on a hiring freeze. Only half of my class has jobs lined up, while the graduates from my program last year ALL had jobs before graduation. I haven't had so much as an interview. *sighs* I thought I'd be hella marketable with 2 bachelor's degrees and graduating from one of the top 10% of nursing schools in the country. I heard other cities like Austin, San Antonio, and Dallas were hiring people left and right, but since Amz got a job here, i need to get hired here too! So...the search continues. If any of you, by chance, know some nurse manager in the Houston area, tell 'em a UT graduate nurse is looking for work whereve she can get it!

40 days...

Just got back from Vegas with a huge smile on my face and huge blisters on my feet! Didn't win any money, but I had a great time, saw a few shows, and got to attend my best friends' wedding! The plane rides there sucked ass...but otherwise i enjoyed the trip. Hell, i even survived leaving the weekend before a big test! Whew...now just to hang in there until May 7th (cuz i'm skipping graduation).

We pick up our baby boy on May 11! He already has his first vet appointment set up and we're going to look @ puppy daycare this weekend.

54 days...

So i took the most hideous, ugly, stupid, really dumb test today. I didn't do all that well, but I still have a passing average. Thank goodness for extra credit.

Amz is in the midst of her 2nd day at her new job. She came home for her lunch hour and proclaimed "If i fill out any more paperwork, my hand is going to fall off!" She also has been driving all over creation and back again. Hopefully, she'll get to stay local from now on. They are giving her a laptop to work on, and she gets part of her cell phone bill covered. The state is also paying for her health insurance in full (except for dental - but that's only $7 a month). She's visiting her very own office at the moment. =) Now if only I could find a job...

I graduate in a month! Oi, this month will suck tho! Dakota, our pup, is coming right after graduation. Then, once I find a job, we can work out all the TTC plans!

Amber and I have had a great time tonight. It's just been nice to be able to spend an evening together. :-)

Probably against my better judgement, I went ahead and worked today. I was super tired and concerned about school/studying most of the day, but I went in to help my mom. However, I didn't do as much as I normally do. I kinda feel bad that I wasn't more help. I only taught 1 class, but I did help supervise, which is what any other sub would have done. *shrugs* I'll do better next time. On the bright side, I did make $70 for playing some form of tag/dodge ball for most of the day. lol.

Oh, about our night...*smiles* we started by driving up to Amber's place of work. She always gets nervous when she drives some place new. It was a pretty simple drive, so we goofed off and joked most of the time. It was nice to smile in each other's presence and just be. We went to Wal-Mart to pick some stuff up, which we ended up not being able to find/forgetting, but we got a really good deal on some supplies for Dakota (who is now 2 weeks old) and we bought my sister a birthday cake (even tho her bday was almost half a month ago but shes just now having a party). We came home and socialized with my sis and a few of her friends for a bit, and then headed out to see "I Love You, Man" which was effin' hilarious. Now we're just chillin' at home.

Yup, that's what's up.
