Jeremy's Birthday Celebration

Since Jeremy's Birthday fell on a Wednesday, we decided to celebrate his birthday on the following Saturday. We invited all of our close friends over for a dinner party. I made Jeremys' favorite food - Spaghetti with garlic bread and salad. I also made dessert - a strawberry jello cake. The evening turned out to be a fun one. We ate dinner and the hung out at the house for a bit, talked and played the wii. After that, we decided to go out for a bit. The evening turned out to be fun. Jeremy enjoyed the cake I made and he had a great time. Here are some pics from the evening.

Jeremys Birthday

On Wednesday, April 15th, My dear husband turned 32! We both had to work that day, but were able to meet at Louies for dinner and drinks. Just as I got to the parking lot, Jeremy called to let me know that the battery was dead on his motorcycle and I had to go pick him up. He was just up the street at a radio shack store. So I pick him up and then we head to Louies. Evan and Sharon joined us for dinner and then Cullen showed up after his soccer game. About 9:30, we left and all went to the Radio Shack where Jeremy left his bike. Cullen was going to help him "pop" the clutch. I tried to get some pics, but it was really dark and I was only able to get a couple. It took them a few tries, but they finally got Jeremys bike going. Cullen and Evan were pushing Jeremy on the bike and then Evan and Jeremy we pushing Cullen on the bike. Needless to say, Sharon and I were in hysterics because of this. When it was all said and done, Jeremy realized he left his jacket at the store, so he had to borrow my sweatshirt so he didn't freeze. We had a fun night and we were looking forward to the weekend, when we would be celebrating his birthday again.

Graces' Blanket

This is the blanket I knitted for my neice - Grace. I sent it off to my brother and sister in law earlier this week and I hope they enjoy it!

Nursing School

Last week I received a letter from Rose State (one of the two schools I applied to for nursing school), that said I needed to enroll in a 1 class and take the skills lab before I could be in the program. I had intended to call them, however time got away from me, as I was super busy studying for my exams for OU. I get a call today from a lady at Rose State who asks me about enrolling in the skills lab. I told her that I intended to do that as I've been studying quite a bit. I also told her that I was a little confused by the letter - if I enrolled in those things, was I accepted? She said that my stuff was sent to the program director and the dean and I was suggested as a candidate for acceptance to the evening/weekend program. She said, "Yes, once you enroll, you'll get your official acceptance letter, so congratulations, you are accepted into the program!" I am so excited, I will graduate next May!!! WOO HOO!!! I am still waiting on word from OU, so if I get in there, then that's where I'll go, but if I don't, then I'm going to Rose! :-D

Just call us Aunt Natashia and Uncle Jeremy

As of friday, Jeremy and I became and Uncle and Aunt for the first time.
Our neice - Grace Evelina Morton was born on Friday morning, she weighed in at 9lbs 5ozs and 20 inches long. She is absolutely precious, and we can't wait to spoil her!

I passed

As most of you know, I am trying to apply to nursing school. My first choice is OU. In order to get in there I had to take a series of NLN exams. These were 3 different exams that tested over 4 different subject areas - 1. Care of the Adult Client 2. Care of the Client with Mental Disorders 3. Care of the child and 4. Care of the client during childbearing. I studied for the tests and took them in early March. We were told by OU, that the hardest of all the tests was the Mental Health test. I thought it was really hard, and thought that I might not have passed that portion of the test. Today I get my test results, with a letter explaining the scores, etc. You have to pass each section with a decision score of 95 or higher. I passed the adult portion with a score of 96, and the mental health portion with a decision score of 100! I was schocked...the area that I thought I didn't pass, I did the best in. With that being said, I scored a 94 on care of the child (1 point away) and really bad on the childbearing part. So, my plan is to re-take those 2 sections next week, study, study and study some more for those tests. I am starting to get really excited about getting everything in order to finish my application for nursing school.
There are times when all this stuff gets overwhelming, but I manage to stay calm (most of the time) and I get through it. It's really exciting for me, I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel (for finishing school).
Most of this month will be spent studying and finishing my correspondence class and also my physiology class. Then in May, I'll be headed to Colorado to spend mothers day weekend with my mom. This will be the first time I've spend mothers day with her in about 7 years, I'm excited and she is excited as well. When I fly back to OK, my sister will be flying with me and will be here in OK with Jeremy and I for about 10 days. I am excited for her visit and can't wait to spend time with her. Jeremy and I have talked about going to Colorado together in June for a mini vacation, but we'll see how that pans out. I know that I will need some R&R before August - when I'll hopefully be starting nursing school!!!!!!!!!!!!
