Back to School...

Well, it is about that time...Time to start back to school. While I am dreading going back to all the homework, papers, and exams, I am excited about starting clinicals this semester! It should be interesting and a great learning experience :) Although, I would much rather be here...

My Cousin's Sweet 16!

My sweet cousin A just turned 16! I cannot believe that she is already driving! AHH! I was fortunate enough to have the day off on her birthday, so I was able to share in all of the birthday festivities! My aunt and I drove in her new car to pick her up from school before heading over to the DMV to get her license! She is such a good little driver! After that, the family met up for some dinner at Mac Grill. It was delicious! Then we headed over to her house to open up some gifts and enjoy some cake! Overall, a great day!

Her car wouldn't be complete without a monogrammed decal of course!}

I am so proud of you! You are becoming such a sweet, godly young woman. I love you so much, and I am so blessed to have you in my life! I am always here for you! xoxo

*SNOW*

It is rare that we, here in the mid-south, ever get a pretty snow. But this year, we did! It was so beautiful! The weather men and women predicted a snow storm coming the night of Jan. 9th, and they were right! At our house, we got 4 inches of snow! NOT ICE :) It was such a pretty snow! And Ben was fortunate enough to get a snow day! However, I had to go into work :( but sweet Benny drove me into work on Monday morning. It's too bad that nurses don't get snow days!

2010 was an amazing year! We look forward to what 2011 will bring us! The Lord has blessed us with such wonderful family and friends. We feel so blessed!

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO EVERYONE!!!
