My first blog

After reading other people's blogs for months and thoroughly enjoying them, I have decided that it is time to make my own blog. Not only does it sound fun, but I think it will be a good way for friends and family to stay updated on my life, even when I'm busy. So, here we go!

I am busy preparing everything I need to begin nursing school at Lane Communuty College in the fall. I just ordered my royal blue scrubs that will be embroidered with LCC Nursing Student, bought my own pair of bandage scissors, and applied for my name change through Social Security. Now I know you are thinking that I have been married for almost 9 months and should have changed my name through SS a long time ago. Well, I needed this to kick me in the pants to get the ball rolling. I can't change my name through LCC without a SS card and I also have to have a background check done. I would think it would look a little fishy if I claimed one name and then had a different name listed for SS. I would rather not take any chances. I also have to retake my CPR class. I was recently re-certified for adult CPR at work but I need child and infant for school. So, I have quite the list of things to do but I am still pretty excited.

In September, Chris and I are going on a Mexican Riviera cruise for our one year anniversary. We purposely planned it in September instead of October just in case I did get into nursing school. Good thing! We still have to buy our plane tickets and are trying to figure out if there will be a shuttle to take us from the airport to the dock or not. Chris' friend Jake and his new wife Tiffany just got back from the exact same cruise a week or two ago that they went on for their honeymoon. Chris is planning on racking Jake's brain for more information.

Well, that is pretty much all I have for now. Chris and I just went on a 40 minute bike ride which was fun. I always like to exercise with him. I hope to get some house work done today while Chris is at work but we will see :)
