Slacking

So I've been a little caught up the past two weeks with crunch time for my NCLEX studying and working here and there. (For those of you who don't know I've been working as a Pharmacy Tech at Walgreens for the past 4.5 years) I took my NCLEX exam this last Friday and I have no clue how I did.  The test is adaptive questioning and has a minimum of 75 questions with a maximum of 265.  I only got 75 questions and was the first one out of there. This can mean 1 of 2 things. I either totally BOMBED it and they knew at 75 questions that there was no hope for me, or I knocked it out of the park! They're two pretty opposite outcomes so I can't get my hopes up quite yet.  I'll find out sometime this week I believe so cross your fingers! After my results I'll either be waiting 45 days to retake the test or applying for every single nursing position available in the Sacramento area.  Can't wait! Derek finally finished up what were two awful weeks of school filled with several long, grueling, ridiculously boring papers (at least I think so). He's much happier now, but also trying to play catch up with his other classes.  Even though everyone is totally over Valentine's Day, ours was good! I did 10 days of Valentine's day for Derek so he found something new everyday that I had either made or bought. He thought it was great! He got me some beautiful flowers, candy, and wrote an absolutely tearjerking letter. Very thoughtful :) That's our lives as of the past 2 weeks. Until next time...

Thank Goodness! My CAMERA!

So I am so excited because my camera was found in the Hoffman Jeep where I apparently left it the last time we went snowboarding..pheww!!!! I'm relieved! Since I found it I feel compelled to share a few more pictures to round off the 2010 year.

 I thought this picture was only appropriate because this sums up every weekend that Derek came to see me or I came to see him while we were long distance. STUDYING! eek!

 We went to Texas Roadhouse several times last year and as much as we love it we've grown to become annoyed at the fact that the waiters come around about every 2 minutes to make sure everything is "Perfect", which is a word they put in our mouths. I would say things would be more perfect if they just let us eat our food...needless to say they've lost some of our business. :) Sorry TR!

 Witches Night at Gardner Village with some of the cute fam!

 Our first 5:30am black friday shopping session...it was NOT worth it because we didn't buy anything that we could not have boughten at a reasonable hour later in the day. At least we tried it and Derek was a great sport!

 After the Christmas production by Salt Lake Symphony. The first half was boring for me and fascinating for Derek as they narrated The Polar Express with live music and a single man singing opera the whole time, but the second half was amazing with upbeat, fun Christmas songs!

 Officially at my Pinning Ceremony.

 So the Dean of our college of Health and Sciences sculpted the head of Florence Nightingale while speaking to us about nursing..it was neat to watch.

My beautiful friends :) I miss them 

 A great teacher and nursing dept chair. She'll be missed!

 Derek gave me a great RN medical charm which I ended up turning into a necklace! So thoughtful and very creative :)

 Happy Sumo sushi! My FAVORITE!

 La Caille in the winter time...it's beautiful and makes me want to have a magical winter wedding now :) with Derek of course.

Beautiful snowy Snowbird!
