sad news...

i got a call from Parker yesterday while he was at work.

hey says, "I have some really really sad news"

long silence.

"what happened?" i ask

I brace myself for whatever is coming, expecting the worse.

"the Jazz traded Brewer yesterday"

of course my heart was already racing, waiting to hear some tragic news. I was relieved it was just basketball, but the adrenaline makes it hard to not yell at the other person on the line for scaring you half to death... I swear this has happened to me a few times lately. Don't people know you don't tell someone you have bad/sad/horrible news unless it is REALLY horrible? I always expect the worst... and I can actually feel the physical stress on my body start when someone says that and I start bracing myself. Don't you agree that that phrase should be saved for times when you REALLY have bad/sad/horrible news that have to do with life changing events? or is it just me?

and I AM really sad that the Jazz traded Brewer... He will be sorely missed.

love love

there was so much baby craziness this weekend. I have to post some pictures... plus i know those who weren't there want to see pics! Jen and jon were very generous with their time as we literally wouldn't let elijah go home until very late at night. Here are some pics... The last video is my favorite.

the results are in...

I am now officially a Registered Nurse in the state of Utah and up for grabs! I'm glad I didn't pay the 8 bucks to the see the "early" unofficial results! These posted today (wednesday) and I took the test monday morning.

Here I am going into the testing center in Las Vegas... parker caught me off guard in this picture but don't I look physically ill? I was. I had nightmares the entire night before about all the things that could possibly go wrong on the way to the testing center and not getting there and missing the test. On top of that, I always make myself physically sick before doing anything that makes me nervous. Well fortunately, we made it to the testing center with about an hour to spare. They let me start my test 30 minutes early. The whole thing took about an hour and a half and i got the minimum 75 questions. It was all kind of surreal, you know, ACTUALLY taking the NCLEX. honestly, it started out pretty easy and got really hard. I got about 3 or 4 drugs I had no idea what they were. Because it is a computer adaptive test, it gets harder the more you get right, so I was told to be happy when I got a drug I didn't know because that meant I was doing well. trust me though, I was not happy. I was just praying that the computer turned off after 75 questions. I don't think I could have done anymore questions! Luckily it did. This is after the test. Seriously I was just so so deliriously happy to be done with the test, that it had turned off after 75 questions, and that I never have to do another practice question again! we celebrated in Mesquite at the virgin river hotel and casino buffet! It was a great ending to a long awaited, hard worked-for day.

I love seeing Registered Nurse next to my name!

Next hurdle... Find a job!
