Good things

I must say there are many good things I have to be happy about right now!

  1. I am in my psychiatric-mental health nursing rotation right now. I originally chose nursing as my major beause from the time I was like 12 I wanted to be a psych nurse. I love it so far. The clinicals are incredible. I am finding I am more organized and ahead of things in this class than I ever have been! Now, if I could be this motived with Critical Care and my Capstone this summer......:)
  2. Ryan and I got an entire day together yesterday!!!! This is rare. My spring break kind of sucked. He would leave at about 6 a.m., and not return until 8 p.m. The poor guy is spread too thin! So I cherish a day like yesterday! Which consisted of.............
  3. Spring Training baseball!!!!!! Diamondbacks vs. Oakland Atheletics. It was nearly a close-out. 10-1. We met his bosses wife at the game and she insisted we ditch our seats & sit in the seats in front of them that they had purchased . So we were FRONT ROW BEHIND HOME PLATE! Incedible!!! I could hear the players talking to each other! I'm used to nose-bleeder-seats.
  4. It was in the upper 70's and sunny at the game yesterday. I got a great deal of sun. And we enjoyed the game with an fresh-grilled brat, sauerkrat, and an ice-cold beer. (I know....we had a mind-slip about he whole "No-meat-Friday rule")
  5. Last night I officially registered myself for the Arizona Distance Classic Half-Marathon. It's in............................2 WEEKS! Some of you may think "Wow, what are you thinking?" But I've been doing this "base-training" thing lately, where I basically have my body trained for a long race if one comes up. So, I talked myself into it! I miss races :(, so I'm looking forward to this!
  6. I am coking Ryan a hearty Irish Beef Stew today while he's at guard. I have to buy Guiness for it. (Ewwwwww!! Chewy. Smells like sesame oil! Ryan likes it though, so he'll be happy) (possible recipe post to come soon)
  7. On THURSDAY, we leave for Puerto Penasco, Mexico for 4 days!!!!!! It's the destination where we got engaged. I cannot explain how excited I am for 4 days of beaches, seafood, lounging in the sun, and just the funness of Mexico!!!
I am wishing everyone a great weekend! If we could, we'd send some of the warmth and sunshine of AZ to our family up north! I hear it's cold, wet, and cold. The hellish month of March is half-way through!

The weather has actually been decent here. Very rainy & overcast but I will take that over sub-freezing temps and snow! Almost all of our snow is gone and while that means things look pretty mucky, I am ok with it since it means summer is on its way. :)

You have lots of fun things to be excited for. I'm curious about that stew you are making for Ryan. I bet you will like it. The guiness should cook down enough to the extent that you probably won't even taste it. That is usually how it works when recipes call for beer!

Have a fabulous weekend!!!

And since you wrote this, your weekend get-a-way has been changed to San Deigo, but I know you will have just as much fun - just being together is what is important and you'll get sun & surf to boot! Great weekend so far, right?

What is your color?

Green My favorite color ever! I have to control myself to not purchase too many green things. If I had no control, my house would be green. My kitchen would be lime-themed. With greenery everywhere. My bathrooms would be green. My bedroom would be green. You would all feel nauseated-green after entering my home. (So I don't have a green-themed home) Many things I love are green, such as: Spinach (I eat it a minimum twice a day usually) My weding color was green. (clover green) Limes (I have at least one time a day) Grass. I love the feel of grass, especially since I see it so rarely in AZ (except in my neighborhood that has amazing landscapers with grass-galore) Palm trees. Any tree. Christmas trees. I love Christmas Green Beer. I think the green beer on St. Patty's Day tastes better. My favorite color of eyes. When I was in 9th grade, I so badly wanted to get green contacts. But they made me keep my brown eyes. Diet Mountain Dew (my guilty pleasure) Granny Smith...

A weekend of the great outdoors

As I am preparing for my return to the real world tomorrow, I feel a strong sense of dread. As I won't have a weekend or free week for a long while! Instead of focusing on that.......I'm sharing a few snapshots from our awesome weekend! This weekend we were in Big Lake, AZ -- which is about 20 miles from the New Mexico border (just 5 1/2 hours from our house). (last weekend we were in Parker Canyon...which I will blog about another day) We camped from Friday-Monday, which was the perfect length of time. The temperatures were a great escape from hot Tucson. In fact...it was VERY cold at night. It was in the low 30's at night, 60's during the day. The trout fishing was incredible. Here's a few snapshots: Home Sweet Home for the weekend! Look at the giant tree I cut down!!! Wow!! (Okay, this was posed...) But...Ryan did teach me how to use a wood-saw! There were tons of dead/fallen trees lying around. So we cut all our firewood for the weekend! I felt very ...

One Confused Lady

Yesterday morning was packed with a session of cross training.....rushed home to shower and get professional-looking....headed across town for an interview.....kicked butt at my interview...."bopped" over to our house to see the progress of the build......headed to the "design center" to sign more paperwork.... (Side note: I cannot get over just how much paperwork is involved in building a house. Holy Hannah. And we haven't even closed !!! Iy-yi-yi....Those lovely people in history who got law-suit-happy.....God bless 'em.) Yesterday was a good day! So here's a little humor for your Thursday. A little thought. A little depth.....( A little cynical rant ) Afterwards, I decided to head to one of my favorite places to peruse.... Target. But my experience at Target was far from fun, relaxing, or pleasant. Just confusing. Loud. Crazy. Despite many screaming children-temper tantrums.... Which is common and un-escapable. Although screaming chi...
