It's almost time...

...for me to graduate, take the NCLEX, move to Arizona, and be a REAL nurse. I'm beyond excited. I rented a study book for the NCLEX from the library on Thursday of last week and I've already gone through it and am starting the practice tests.  There was one night I actually couldn't sleep because I wanted to keep reading it..sad I know. I love it though.

I have exactly 3 more class periods and two finals until I'm done, and then I have to wait a few weeks for the actual graduation.  I'm not sure when I get to take my NCLEX yet but I'm going to try to do it as soon as I can.  I have really been wanting to do travel nursing but without any experience in nursing that's not really an option right now, so I decided I'd move somewhere new! While talking to my cousins at Sherry's last week Colby mentioned Arizona.  That stuck with me and so I started looking at job openings and possibilities.  Turns out there are a lot of openings and they pay pretty well, so looks like I'm moving down there! I'm going to be going home at the end of the semester and hanging out with the family and hopefully find some source of income while I apply for nursing jobs in Arizona.  SO exciting!

A few weeks ago I got to go home for Spring Break.  I was there the whole week and loved spending time with my family, especially my nephews.  They are SO fun.  I rode bikes a lot with them and watched plenty of Diego. I even miss the "Rescue Pack Song" that was on it.  One day Rock and I went on a "run" that turned into us walking on the beach and picking up every single shell we saw.  There were ducks that kept following us and Rock decided to talk to them.  You can't really hear what he says, but he's asking them to show him how they fly.  I love his innocence haha.
I had to take a picture to show my mom.  Whitni made that face on purpose...I think...


In other random news, I haven't straightened my hair for two weeks! A lot of my friends didn't even know I had curly hair, but I've been trying products to help keep the frizz down and help the curls.  I'm loving how much less time it takes to get ready now!
