Thunder Game

Last night, Jeremy and I went to see the Thunder play the Jazz and we had a very good time. I am really into basketball now - I think it's becoming one of my favorite sports. We have been to a few thunder games, and at each game I admire the t-shirts. Last night I finally got one!


I LOVE this shirt. The thunder have a player named "Desmond Mason" and I thought I would be cool and buy the "Mason" shirt! Crazy, I know, but I couldn't help myself. After the game, Tim, Julie, Jeremy and I went to a pub and we had a great time there too. I ended up laughing at something that someone said. I was laughing so hard, my stomach hurt and I was crying. I had everyone else laughing at me! It was great. I think I needed a good laugh.

Bye Bye Tree

In January of 2008 we had an ice storm that caused our tree in the front yard to completely freeze. Half of the tree broke, and thus leaving the other half of the tree leaning toward our house. It never got cut completely down - until last Sunday. Jeremy paid a couple of his friends to cut down our tree, and this is what is left

All the branches from the tree

The new view of the house

Our house can no longer be identified as the house with the huge tree in the front yard. Now all that's left is we have to grind the stump down and then we can do whatever we want to our front yard now!

WII fit

Jeremy is the best husband in the entire world!!!!! He got me a WII fit from rewards points he had from radio shack. I had a great time playing it tonight - and I realized that I am out of shape and will definately be sore tomorrow. When you set up your Mii person, it does a little fitness test and also tells you your Wii age - my BMI is great, however my balance is terrible and my WII age is 44!!!!!!!!!! I thought that was crazy - and then Jeremy does his WII age and it's 30! He is 1 year younger for his WII age than his real age. Jeremy was laughing at some of the exercises I had to do, but he was also very encouraging.
My goal is to do this every day or at least every other day - we'll see how this works out!!!

Nursing School

As most of you know, I am trying to get into my RN program. My main goal is to get my BSN (bachelor of science in nursing), which OU is where I plan on applying to. After lots of thought, I felt I needed a backup plan in case I didn't get into OU. I am taking my pre-reqs at Rose State, and I just recent discovered that they have a fast track LPN to RN program similar to that of OU, except you get your ADN (associate degree of nursing). I would prefer my bachelors, but felt that I should apply to rose state as well. The application deadline for Rose was on March 1st. So the week before, I filled out the application, and took the approrpriate tests and turned in my application on Friday February 28th. My application for OU isn't due until May 1st, but as my mom says, I need to get it filled out and turned in now. One of the requirements for OU's program is showing competency in 4 subjects that you aren't tested on for your LPN, and you have to sign up to take the tests. I am taking mine March 12th and 13th and like always, I need to get on the ball and study hard core for those. I am really begining to think that I am going to have to have discipline and study for many hours each night and no more fun weekends, and spending saturdays at the yarn store :-(
I'll keep everyone posted on the status of my acceptance to these nursing programs!
