HESI…

Not passing the HESI today sucked, but a good facebook-chat late at night with an old friend, and this song, made it a little (a lot) better.  Thanks, Crystalyn.  :)

 

happy (late) Easter!

 

 

hope you all had a lovely Easter :)  Dusty and I went on a picnic, where we were (almost) completely eaten by mosquitos (and remembered why we don’t do so many picnics in florida anymore..) but ate good food and appreciated our state – it really is beautiful. 

 

                                  

 

Things are good  here in G’ville…just plugging along, still doing the school thing.  I’m almost done (I can’t believe it!) and had a few job interviews already – we’ll hear if I got anything at Shands next week…keep your fingers crossed for me!  Dusty has a new MOTORcycle (well, WE have a new motorcycle -Dusty drives it), and he planted a garden in our backyard too :)  He is my biker-horticulturist-neuroscientist-husband :)  What else could I ask for?

 

   

 

G-ville Half Marathon in 2:07:49 – yeah baby!

On Valentine’s Day I ran a half marathon with my friend Lisa (it was very romantic).  My goal was to do 10 minute miles, and I did it!  I’m happy.

Pretty spanish moss – one thing I genuinely like about Florida.

I don’t run with my eyes closed all the time…

Approaching the finish line.

 

I look confused – I don’t know why.

We finished!!  We can still move! – and we have Krispy Kreme donuts :))

Dusty told me to pose for a picture, so I started dancing?  lol

And..a little more normal :)

Lisa – you are awesome!!!  Thanks for being my running/venting about Nursing school/eating really awesome home cooked meals and lots of chocolate buddy :)

 

I think I should also add that it was 32 DEGREES when we started this run…and I’m pretty sure it only got up to about 40 during the run.  THAT IS COLD!  I am not really enjoying El Nino.

cool! look what I can do

 

 

So Dusty downloaded this program that supposedly makes it easier to blog, and it totally DOES!  And I can do all these cool things, like put a map in or a picture album.  Although the photo album feature isn’t working, so…not that awesome, I guess.  Also, I don’t know why I’ll ever want to put a map on our blog..  Anyway, I’m just messing around with it and want to see how it looks on the blog so I’m posting it.  

 

This is cool.  Thanks Dusty :)

 

 

 

I like rounded corners.

I know it's late, but it's still January!

Christmas! This year we went to Connecticut to hang Wargo-style. I feel like I'm copying Meagan's blog, but I also made a list of everything we did. I wrote it in my journal when we got home as kind of a "condensed journal entry", because writing about everything would just take too long - so here is our list!

-hung out with Grandma & Grandpa because they live with my parents now! (so cool)

-played in the snow and in the (new and improved) basement

-went hiking to Torries Den

-had snowball fights

-the Bryan's came over! (it was just like old times, plus Shaun and Juniper)

-went to the Wood's wedding

-played 'Moods'

-ate a lot of eggs

-got sick (not from the eggs - the eggs were good)

-saw 'Avatar' (totally awesome movie)

-watched The Sound of Music and Up

-shoveled the driveway (a little bit of it...)

-celebrated our 2nd Anniversary! :)

-did Pilates with Adam

-went running with my mom

-ate at Friendly's

-went caroling on Christmas Eve

-went to New York City and ate breakfast

and homemade pie on New Years day with Tom & Bob

-went to the Museum of Natural History

table and UF game

I (almost) finished my sewing machine table :). Now all I need are 4 knobs (one was missing, or else I'd just put the old ones on) and some grease for the sewing machine. I already have a request to fix someone's gloves from church!

AND...Dusty and I went to my first UF football game! here's proof:














(I think these glasses are a little scary...)

'the best day'

I like this video :)
