Almost Christmas!

Well can you believe it is almost Christmas of 2009?? It is absolutely crazy to me! Some of the highlights-- Ty is gonna be 18!! So crazy considering the first time we met he was 14!! I finished my first semester of nursing school!! And I passed with a "B". Very very very happy!! Next semester is going to be 10x harder though. I am out of school until January 19th and that makes me happy. An entire month without having to thinking about care plans and tests! Whoo hoo!

On a bad note-- my crappy car finally broke down for good! She can no longer be driven. I'm upsest because I don't have a car but at the same time I'm glad because I'll get a different one. The only problem is that I have no money or job :( .. not good. But my real dad has gotten me an 01 eclipse. So I am pretty excited about that. I can't wait until he finishes checking everything out and gets it for me. Right now poor little Tyler is having to take me places and I hate depending on people to take me places. Plus he don't have a job, so I hate making him use his gas and driving. Maybe he don't mind ;). He's been so busy lately with basketball and school. I know he is ready for Christmas break too. We've been doing college stuff and getting everything ready to send off. He doesn't like talking about it too much. Maybe it scares him knowing that in a couple of months everything is gonna change. It would me!! I've been trying to stay on him about his grades and getting college things ready. I hope he ends up going where he wants to go. But even right now, He don't know where that is going to be. I guess it just all depends on scholarships and funds.

Well just thought i'd give an update... see ya later! Have a Merry Christmas! :)

Game Time!!!!

I love the weekends!!!! Football, football, and more football! :) My weekend officially starts on Thursday which is awesome! Well... my first day at St. Michael went so well! I learned so much! It is quite an experience and much, MUCH different than the nursing home. The flu shot clinic also went wonderful! There were TONS of people there. People bombarded us when we got out of our vehicles. It started at 8:00 but we had to be there at 7:15 to set up. Well... people were angry and freaking out. Some had been there since 6:00 and some since 3:30. I mean why?? It didn't start until 8. I think they were afraid we were going to run out. It was sad because so many people desperately wanted those shots. I felt so bad for them. One lady said that once they opened the doors to let people in that people were pushing, shoving, and acting CRAZY!! Can you believe that? It's like the day after Thanksgiving sales or something, haha. I was incredibly nervous about the shots. We had to give them to each other first. Brook gave me mine and I gave hers. It wasn't bad. By the 3rd shot, I was a pro! haha Tyler said he was so proud of me. I was proud of myself. It wasn't bad at all!!! I'm ready to give them all the time now! haha I make it quick and easy! IM injections are a breeze!!! ;)

Soo... tonight is Tyler's game against Drew Central. Last year we played them at Drew Central. It was a GREAT game. Ty had 3 touchdowns and 160 something yards. Maybe that can happen again tonight?? :) (hope so) He keeps saying he is ready for football to be over. He is really disappointed in how the season has turned out and feels he won't be able to play college ball. But of course I told him he can't think that. He has to stay positive! Not that I myself am very good at being positive! Next week is senior night! So sad. He says he isn't even sad about it but once again he is a MAN! haha they never express their feelings. He'll definately be sad next week I'm sure.

Well I'm off to finish doing some things and start getting ready for the game! Much love :)

Ahh... the stress of nursing school!!

Well I had my 5th test today. I definately should have studied more! I made a 78. Definately not happy. It's my first, what I would consider, bad grade. Medications and Fluids and Electrolytes are not the easiest thing to learn about even though Meds are much more interesting. Well its over and there is nothing I can do about it except study my butt off for the next one. I will not get that low again.. no more!! An 80 is as low as I can tolerate. I'm currently working on my care plan! ugh.. I DO NOT LIKE CARE PLANS!! They are hard and especially since we are at St. Michael's now. But I am excited for our first clinical day there tomorrow. It's just different and going to take some adjusting. Thursday we are doing a flu shot clinic at the fairgrounds!! Yay!! I'm so excited. My first time to give IM injections. I'm nervous but excited! By the end of the day I'll be a pro :) We get to give them on each other too.... that's the scary part! But at least I'll have my seasonal flu and H1N1 flu shot! I'm kinda nervous because I've never gotten a flu shot before.. because I've never had the flu (knock on wood)!! But it'll be an experience!

Tyler is getting ready for his 2nd to last football game. I'm sure its bittersweet even though he don't act like it. But afterall he is a man! haha. He and I are wonderful as usual! Better and better each day! He is trying to take care of me and I try to take care of him! haha so sweet!

Well I better get back to this care plan!! Wish me luck tomorrow and Thursday! :)

Sleepless

Yes I am up very early! Last night I was dragged into going to see Paranormal Activity. Ok, first of all.... I DON'T LIKE SCARY MOVIES AT ALL!!! I get scared on movies that aren't supposed to be scary. And according to everyone who had seen it, it was the scariest movie ever. Well of course Tyler (seeing as how he LOVES scary movies) insisted we go with Adam and Kaison. I almost backed out and couldn't go see it BUT I managed to pull myself together and go. We had a little thing going seeing how many minutes I'd last. Tyler- 5 mins. Me- 10 mins. Kaison- 12 mins. Adam- 30 mins. Needless to say, I made it the whole movie somehow!! It was VERY scary! Wow!!! Certain parts I couldn't watch and i hid in tyler's shoulder, haha. If you like a GREAT scare... go see this. Beware!!-- I didn't sleep much last night. And most everyone I know in Texarkana didn't either! haha Yes, it's that freaky! I have officially got my halloween scare and I am done with scary movies for about a year. Normally Tyler doesn't get scared during scary movies. But he did last night. haha it was pretty funny!! Ask him where he slept!!!!! :) (he's gonna be so mad)

So I just thought I had to share just how freaked out I was and why I am up so early. I only went to bed 6 hours ago. And much of it wasn't sleeping. It was me laying with my eyes wide open fighting my sleep. Well I'm gonna try to go back to sleep now that it is daylight, haha! Night night

I'm Back!! :)

Well I decided to start this back up since I've been so private forever!! haha... I'm sure you'll be proud and excited! I just need to see Stephanie's new one. Somehow I need to figure out her new one and she able to add me.

Anyways... today was horrible. I had clinicals. We have to do something called Care Plans and they are horrible!!!! UGH! I hate them. They are plans of care of how we are going to take care of our patient. Well so far I've done three of them. Apparently they aren't good enough and my teacher pretty much told me that. I was really upset. Also today, we had to check off on assessment. Well, she made me incredibly nervous when she came in the room and my mind went blank. Assessment is an important part of a nurse's job. So I thought I had been doing pretty good. And I had been... I just got so nervous and froze! So my grade from today for clinical probably won't be very good and that really bothers me. I cried and cried earlier when I got home. I started questioning whether or not nursing is really for me. So of course I text tyler and he was like everything is fine, you're only having a bad day. I have faith that you'll be a great nurse and I know this is what you want to do. It was so sweet. He always knows the right thing to say and the right words. I love it/him. So needless to say, I took a nap earlier and after waking up I felt much better. So here I am studying and writing on here. I'm excited to get this going again! I just don't know anyone on here :(

Well I'll definately be updating more often!! Love all

Goodness life is busy..

Well I know that once again it has been a very long time since I updated on here. I am soo bad, ha.

School is going good. I have great grades except for Comp 2. I turned in my first paper this semester. We got them back and I had a 48. I almost passed out. It was horrible. She grades way too hard. I was very upset because I thought I had done well. That isn't fair. But everything else seems great. I made an 86 on the second nutrition test which is better than 79 I made on the first. I was pleased. I learn more and more in History everyday. My teacher is absolutely hilarious.

Work.. is work. It's just the same everyday. Can sometimes be stressful.

I really really need a new car. Too bad I don't have money to do that. My car is probably about to break down at any moment too.

Baby Garyson finally got here. He is soo precious. I spent almost all day Thursday the 19th and Friday the 20th at the hospital. He weighed 9 lbs and 3 oz. He is BIG!! But sooo sweet. I held him for a long time last night and he just fell asleep in my arms. Angie seems to be doing well. She won't get off Tyler's back. It's sad because I think Tyler is a great kid. He doesn't do anything wrong honestly. He is like the perfect child. Well I wouldn't know what a perfect child is cause I don't have one but you know what I mean. They never really help him.

And I just wanted to say thanks to you Nana and Papaw.. you do so much for him!! You are such great grandparents. You remind me of my grandma!! :) And yes I call them that because they are practically mine too, haha.

Tyler is starting baseball season. I can't wait!!! I love baseball. It's fun to watch in person.. not on tv. UGH! His first game is this Thursday in Foreman! YAY!! They just finished up with the basketball season. Unfortunately they didn't quite make it to state. Tyler was definately bummed.

We got a new puppy not too long ago. She is like my baby. Oh how I love her. She is a white schnauzer named Layla. We rescued her from one of my friends. She couldn't afford to take care of her and was moving and couldn't take her with her so we took her. She is the absolute sweetest thing.

Well I think that is pretty much all I have for now! I will definately try update this more often. :)

I'm such a slacker!!

Well I know I haven't wrote in a while. I have just been super busy. I started back to school last week. And I've had to work.

To start with... School.
I am taking 12 hours. Federal Government, Comp 2, Nutrition, and US History 2. I should have a very easy semester with A's. Or at least I better, ha. I have three new teachers that I haven't had yet. I love all of them so far. My history and government teachers are hilarious!!! My nutrition teacher is just really laid back. I love it when teachers are like that. I have already taken one test and made an 84. Not too shabby. I have a paper due Friday. I am trying not to procrastinate and stay on top of things. I have a bad habit of putting things off until the last minute. I know, not a good habit. But I've started the semester off right so far.

Work.
Well it's going great. I absolutely love it. I don't like when we get slammed and have tons of patients, but that's just part of it. I'm learing to deal with it. Dr A says I'm doing good and he is very impressed. That is always good huh? He is such a good person to work for. He takes good care of us girls up there. Soon we'll moving to our new office on Moore's Lane. It will be a nice new building with a HUGE lab. I am very excited. The lab I'm working in now is sooooo small. So it will be very appreciated.

Current Events.
Well Valentine's day is coming very soon. I was going to get Tyler baseball tickets. I don't think he is too interested. So I'm moving to plan B. I just don't have a plan B yet, ha. I'll think of something. Spring Break is in March. Tyler wants us to go somewhere; He just doesn't know where yet. It would be fun to take a trip somewhere though. Last year our breaks were the same week. Hopefully they will be this year. Then in April, we are going to turkey camp!! I can't wait. My whole family is going including aunts and uncles. Tyler is hopefully going with us!! It is going to be a blast! Angie is due in about 3 weeks. It keeps getting closer and closer. She has gotten a lot of cute baby stuff. I am excited for Garyson to get here! I love how they are spelling his name. I'm anxious to see Braden's reaction. Ty is acting like he won't have much to do with it but I think that will change once he gets here. Who knows.

Also, last week, Mrs. Paulette Smith superintendent of Fouke passed away in a tragic car accident. Her funeral was yesterday. Tyler and I attended. It was incredibly sad. I cried like a baby like usual. I'm such an emotional person. Tyler has been really crushed. That is his coach's wife. Coach Smith and Mrs. Smith both thought a lot of Tyler. He cried after visitation. It has been really hard for him to see his coach that way. His coach has called him since all of it and they talked. I think it made Tyler feel really good. Tyler told him that if he needed anything to let him know. I really think that Coach will if he does need anything. It's such a horrible situation. It was such a freak accident. She was an amazing women and will be missed terribly.

I also put a background on my page. Sorry I haven't updated in sooo long. But here you go!

My Body Aches!

Today was first official 12-6 day at work. It was super exhausting!!!! My legs and back are killing me, ha. I also got paid today and that was nice because I needed it. I have some things I have to buy.

You are right Stephanie, this blog is very time consuming and when I'm tired I don't want to do anything.

Tyler had a game tonight against Genoa. It was such a close game but we ended up losing. Rival games are always fun and there was plenty of mouthing, ha. Tyler had 14 points. He did really good even though he kinda of got a blow to face. Even my sister got taken out by the players because they ran out of bounds trying to get the ball. Crazy!

Well it's almost Valentine's day. I've decided to get Tyler baseball tickets. I don't how well he'll like them but I think I am going to. I asked him if he would enjoy it and he said yea. I picked a game in July. It's the Texas Rangers vs. The Detroit Tigers. Tyler likes the Tigers, I figured it would fun for the both of us. I picked some pretty good seats, or at least I think I did. They are $50 a ticket. His crazy ex girlfriend is trying to make her way back into our lives. Why can't she just go away? UGH!! She keeps trying to find a way to figure out what we do. She practically stalks me. She always knows where I am and what I'm doing. Is she trying to kill me? Ha, joking. I would hope not. But she seriously drives me crazy. She tells my sister that she still "loves" Tyler. I am so glad for her but that won't get her anywhere. Poor girl, move on! She gets under my skin more than anyone in this world. It's sad too but she constantly does. As you can tell I needed to vent.

Goodnight.. My body hurts

My First One!

Hello!! This site is a little new to me! Stephanie made it look fun so I decided to try it, ha. Well this is the beginning of a new year and I am very excited. I start back to school in about 2 weeks. I am not really looking forward to it. I apply to the nursing program in February and hopefully get accepted. More information of how that goes later.

Well my new job at Dr. Anderson's office is going well. I am really getting the hang of things. I was very nervous at first. It's not to bad though. Next week I start my 12-6 hours by myself. I am incredibly scared I am going to mess something up. But I should be good right?

Dad left yesterday to go back to Mississippi. I hate that he has to work off and not get to see us much but I know he is doing what he has to do for us. It's only best. Mom isn't happy at all. I feel so bad for her.

On a positive note... Tyler and I are wonderful. He is such an amazing person. He makes me smile when I don't want too. I absolutely love being around him. March 30th we will have been dating for 2 years. It is crazy it has been that long already. Wouldn't trade it for anything though. His mom is getting closer and closer to her due date. I can't believe there will be another boy in their house. I feel sorry for Angie. I am excited. I don't get to be around babies too often and I will be around litte Garrison all the time. Pretty much a brother like Jacob and Braden, haha.

Well it's time for me to sleep. I have to work early in the morning. I hope this first post was good enough. I will get some pictures up soon. Tyler doesn't like pictures too much but I need to start taking them all the time again. Good night all!!
