Awww...

Here is what I turn around to see as I sit here and blog...just thought I would share this sweet moment with you!
Also I have not posted a picture of our lovely little Daisie Mae. I must get some pictures of her soon in her winter coat! it is too adorable! Here is the little toot!
Now seriosly, I must go pack for Gran's house...

Nursing School...

I finally finished my 3rd semester of nursing school. 3 DOWN, 1 TO GO!!! Everyone has to take the final exam! I am not gonna lie, most people were stressed to the heavens about our final, but honestly I was not. Not that I shouldn't have been but I think I was just experiencing burnout for the semester. Earlier in the semester we were given the opportunity to earn a "Crib Card" to use on our final. Which is a 3x5 notecard with a special stamp that we can put anything handy for the test on and use it during our final. I did indeed take hold of this opportunity and earned my very own crib car. Did I put that thing to use... well NO! This is where my burnout/senioritis kicked in. I did not pick up narry a book or note or a single thing at all to study for this test. When I sat down to take it with my empty crib card I was kicking myself in the butt fo not putting at least the simplest of things such a NORMAL lab values, ABG's and telemetry strips or something...
SO... you wonder, HOW DID I DO???


I passed! I needed a 46 to receive a 75 in the class. Which in Nursing school is considered passing! I will just leave it to yall that I made an 80 as my final grade in lecture of 3rd semester nursing school. And in clinicals I am proud to say that I made a 99.8!! Yes that is NOT a typo, I said a 99.8!!!


I do think thought that everyone should know that in nursing school, everyone strives to just make at least a C!! The motto is, C is the new A! C=RN


Whatever it takes to get by...


So I am about to be off to Gran's to celebrate Christmas for the weekend! I will leave yall with one sweet picture of my Dad and my siblings and my daughter and my sweet cousins Megan and Ben visting with Mr. Santa at Chicken Express yesterday!!! My dad takes all of us every year to see Santa, it is a tradition...

Sonshine School...

Here I am again and I have not posted in quite sometime. I currently have my little princess laying on a pallet right beside me threatening her to take a nap!! David just walked in and she told me "Oh, Daddys says its bright outside, my can wake up." Mind you, she NEVER went to sleep! Crazy KID!! So off she just went following her Daddy! Today was her last day of her first semester of Sonshine School. *tear*

Her class had a Christmas party, and Santa made a visit. And as most of you know Emilie is terrified of Santa, therefore, Ms. Kristi got to hold her the whole time Santa was in their classroom. She had a really fun day, they made gingerbread men, had pizza galore, santa brought mr. Potatoe Head presents for them and most of the kids brought little presents for eachother. Needless to say, Emilie made out like a bandit!! We came home with a wal-mart sack full of goodies.

Our newest family member...

So I sit here and wonder where exactly I should begin catching up on my lack of posts! I guess that I will start with Emilie's new ride...

Gami and Papa thought that Emilie really needed a horse. I believe they were in a good line of thinking because she is head over heels in love with her baby HONKEY! Yes, I said HONKEY! Emilie named this adorable little guy Honkey, like Honkey Tonk (badonky-donk). He is the perfect horse for her. He is only 8 months old and a shetland pony, therefor, he will not get much bigger than his size now. Now when I say he is the perfect horse for her... I MEAN IT! She is the only person that can literally walk right up to him and get his lead rope to walk him around without him ever moving. I think he feels really safe with her or something since she is no taller than he.
Everymorning since we got Honkey, the first thing Emmie says when she wakes up is ALWAYS something about going outside with Honkey. She just cannot seem to get enough of him.

I will continue my posting hopefully either sometime tonight after my family has all gone to bed or during the day tomorrow. I have tons to do for this weekend. We have two Christmas parties and my brother has a basketball tournament and I am having a yard sale this saturday at Tasha's house and then of course church on Sunday and I think I want to go to a church in Combine Sunday night to watch their Nativity production.

Oh how I love Christmas...
