google me
so i just googled myself to make sure a facebook search doesn't come up with my name (they now do that, but my profile has been set to private since that feature was added). no facebook link, but apparently i made the deans list this term, and there was an article in the flint journal. hooray for me! :)

a great birthday
I had a great birthday yesterday. The weather was more than agreeable; 68 and sunny with a slight breeze. I studied in the morning, then cleaned out the eaves, moved rocks, raked leaves, picked up sticks, took Rem rollerblading, chatted on the phone between all that, chatted with the neighbors, when to Home Depot with Ry to make sure we were on the same page about landscaping materials, came home and laid out in a bikini to study some more, got the motorcycle out and went for a ride (almost was side-swiped, because apparently ry's bright green helmet and my bright pink helmet are not seen by lousy motorists: GAH), came back and got ready, and then went to buffalo wild wings with friends for a few hours! I didn't drink very much since I have a final today at 10am (boo), but I still had a great time! I was tired out by 10 so we can back home and cuddled and went to bed. It was a great birthday-- thanks to all of you who sent cards, texts, gifts, and called. I had a wonderful day bringing in 24! :)

Busy busy
I've been quite busy the past week with school & work!
--
Last weekend I had a blast with the girls. When everyone else was getting ready to leave I whispered to Kayla (how about smoothies in the tub?!) and she proceeded to kick everyone out so we could get going. So we had yummy strawberry smoothies (just strawberries, milk, and ice!) and grapes while we played in the tub. I let her stay up late while I fed Aubrey (who was content to watch us in the tub & listen to the water sounds) and had her fall asleep. I don't get to spend much time alone with the girls, so I was happy to get some one on one bonding time in. :)
Last week I also I had two big "exams"; my head-to-toe physical assessment I had to do one someone (mom came in for me to do it on her!), which basically makes or breaks me in that class b/c it's worth more than anything else; and I got a 95%!! :) I also had I lab final, where I drew a number out of a fishbowl which corresponds with a scenario & 4 skills, and I got a 98%! It was an excellent week. I only have my fundamentals final left which I take on Wednesday, which I'm not worried about. :)
This past friday night I organized my first "ladies night" out since living in grand blanc (mainly because I did not know anyone), but now i've made a few friends here and we all had a great time; we went bowling then went and danced and had some appetizers. Not too much of a wild and crazy night, but fun was had by all- and I am glad I'm making friends in my new hometown. :)
Yesterday Ry & I went to my parents for the afternoon/evening for my bday dinner with my grandparents, which was delicious as always. It was warm and sunny which was even better for the dogs! I can't believe I'm 24 already... the past few years have flown by!! Tomorrow we are going out in the afternoon/evening with friends for some cocktails as well, yay!

done with my first rotation!
Today is my last day for my clinical rotation in long term care (non-pc term: nursing home), and I am so glad!! Next term I will be in medical-surgical, and I get to watch surgeries and take care of those patients. Bring it on!

In other news, we have received most of our RSVPs back in the mail; I will be making a list for parents to contact those family members we have not heard from yet. Other a couple other things left for stuff to do: have my dress fitted (later this spring), make sure my grandma's suit fits that I bought her (will do over spring break), and continue to coax my mother to go try dresses on ("i'm going to loose weight before the wedding") - but with the last one, I leave the ball her court as I do not want another stressor!
I have been staying busy with work, life, etc. This weekend we are going to rys parents for sat night to celebrate Dena's 30th bday-- me and the nieces are going to the dinner part, and then back to rys parents when the rest of them go out-- I plan on spoiling them so matt & dena can have a fun night out with everyone else! :)
Off to clincals....
