Not so Secretly

I have a bad habit of saying "I secretly..."
So I thought I would start a blog tradition of 
my monthly not so secrets


I secretly...

  • have more friends over the age of 25 than my age
  • get aggressive when backing into my garage so I cannot talk on the phone at the same time
  • want to punch people in the back of the head when they walk slow 
  • make bad ass chicken tacos
  • eat at least 2-3 lbs of cheese a week
  • couldn't do a full push up when working out with Casey
  •  chuckle to myself when someone sets themselves up for a "that's what she said" joke
  • love old people
  • sleep on the couch more than my own bed
  • use my vacuum more than anything else 
  • love my new coffee maker
  • want to go to PA to visit all my family
  • watch the Voice every Monday
  • wish it was summer
  • got a text from one of my good friends, Whitney, at 10:30pm saying "I finally got that stupid peanut butter jar open!" Some victory huh & why was she eating peanut butter at 10:30pm? 
  • thought I got a C on a test & ended up getting an A-
  • am terrified to answer my door when anyone knocks

"They cut me open with a chainsaw"

When you're a nurse you know that every day you will touch a life or a life will touch yours.
Nurses dispense comfort, compassion, and caring without even a prescription.
My clinical group tackled our first simulation lab today!
We worked as a team that seemed like they have been together for years
& conquered scenarios that most J1 groups wouldn't have
I am very proud of my group & I trust them 100%
I'm very happy with how well our group is bonding & getting along
We have a long hard road ahead of us & we will get through it together
Congrats everyone for doing awesome in SIM!

I Love You Weekend

 


Casey & I celebrated Valentine's day 
the weekend before
because Valentine's day fell on a Tuesday this year
& as you all know we are 76 miles apart so...


Gifts from me to you:
For Valentine's Day this year, I made Casey a 20 page "Photo book"
Casey and I have have/had an inside joke about a scrapbook 
that he thought I would never make
However, I had been working on this photo book for quite some time now
It is a summary of our love from the beginning to now.
 




His present to me was much better!!
I got a TRIPOD for my DSLR camera!
Sunpak: Platinum Plus 6000 PG 61" Tripod!
I was ecstatic when getting this present!
{even though I felt a tad under the weather}
Casey's ring


Casey & I decided to get cheap right hand promise rings 
{that wouldn't turn our fingers green} for this Valentine's day.
A statistic for WSU nursing school that may be shocking you...
the average age is 28 years old!
So, the majority of nursing school is married so
we both thought it would be a good idea,
so I had something to show off, haha.
 

These are two views of my ring, I absolutely love it!
Cherished Promise Collection Diamond Accent Swirl Promise Ring in Sterling Silver
My Homemade Celebration!:

After I got back to my car from lab there was yellow roses on my windshield
My floor decoration for when Casey got home


Homemade chocolate cover strawberries :] -- yummy









Welch's Sparkling Red & White Juice Cocktail with sugar on the glasses
This is the Italian sausage spaghetti sauce I made with angel hair noodles & garlic bread

Casey got a new suit for his birthday--from his mommy & daddy
