November Update

The last semester is nearing...only 3 more weeks until graduation! To say we are excited would be an understatement! My 23rd birthday was this weekend (the 29th) and Jonny of course spoiled me well! He had to go to to Utah for a work trip so I went along and when he was done I got to shop a little, then he took me to dinner and we walked around temple square and saw the gorgeous Christmas lights all set up! It was a fun get away and boost for the last few weeks we have to get through. I am so lucky to have such a sweet husband! Now back in Rexburg and ready to finish this school up and start studying hard for the NCLEX-RN exam. 

More pictures to come when I'm finally finished! :)

The End is in Sight!

I just (finally) finished my 3rd semester of nursing at BYU-Idaho. Only 1 more semester to go! I have survived the summer alone in Idaho with my hubby working in NC and am so excited to see him in 10 days. It is weird to finally have a break from school (7 weeks). This is my first real break since starting the nursing program last September and I kinda don't know what to do with myself! It was definitely needed to recuperate though!

My sister's wedding is fast approaching--August 8th. We are so excited for her and her fiance, Ryan, to enjoy wedded bliss! The family and I just finished throwing Caroline's bridal shower last weekend and Mom, Meagan, Caroline and I will be heading to Vegas this Thursday as a weekend bachelorette trip! On the itinerary is a Celine Dion concert, Tournament of Kings Dinner Show, Fremont St., shopping and a few roller coasters!

I think spending the summer apart from Jonny has given us both new, unique perspective on our relationship and although lonely at times (and I wouldn't want to do it again), it was definitely worth it to step back and re-gain our independence. It's true what they say: absence makes the heart grow fonder!

Can't wait to see him again!

May Update :)

Almost half way done with the 3rd semester of Nursing! I'm feeling BURNT OUT! 

This past weekend I flew to visit Jonny in NC and that was really fun...

Some things we did:

Mami Nora's famous rotessirie chicken and rice 

Sun bathing/napping by the pool with Cook-Out milkshakes

A trip to Angus Barn (best steak you'll ever have!)

Shopping & Pedicures 

(it's especially nice having a husband who loves pampering as much as you do!)

2 trips to the movie theater

Lots of cuddling!

This weekend was much needed and so fun that I seriously contemplated not coming back to Idaho! 

Luckily I did though...Two tests to study for this week! It gets lonely not having your husband around but time makes the heart grow fonder (no lie) and I will be back in NC in August after my sister's wedding! So grateful for some nice weather here in Idaho finally though. One of these days I'll get around to making a post that's simply full of pictures from the last year of my life... let's be honest it probably won't happen until we graduate! 

Til' Next Time!

Monday Schmonday

It's Monday and surprisingly I have a bit of spare time, so I suppose it's time for another post. It's only been 5 months... :) Without further adieu, here's a quick Jonny and Emilee update:

Jonny: finished IBC program, now finishing up his toughest semester. Has one left this Fall and he will be done! Shouldn't be a bad one since he'll just be taking his last 4 credits. This Spring semester we're in ends in about 5 weeks and we will both be taking a fun weekend trip to NYC as a breather before he leaves for the summer to go back to Moxie.

Emilee: In about 5 weeks I will officially be halfway done with nursing school! Phew, that half way mark has got to feel good. It better! Doing pretty well so far, not so proud about my ways of dealing with stress, but I just keep looking forward to December and getting to walk with Jonny at graduation. Then, hopefully, within the next few months, we will be out of Rexburg, I will *fingers crossed* pass the NCLEX, be getting an awesome RN job, and we will finally be able to settle down somewhere for more than a 6 month period.

Short yet sweet...
Hope everyone has a great week!
