I love this picture of my family, old and new! Also, graduation caps are just silly.

Oh my gosh. Stuff is happening, people. For starters, I graduated. After a longish boring ceremony, they finally announced, “You may now move your tassels from the right to the left,” and a shiver went down my spine. It was a very special moment. Then we sang “The Eyes of Texas,” and it was over. Yay me! Only one more hurdle to jump before I am an official RN. I have to pass the NCLEX, the state board exam. I scheduled it for June 11 at 8 a.m. I am nervous, and really need to kick the studying up a notch. To that end I am taking another review course this week. In fact, it is going on right this…

What I have done since I last wrote about this: Chose the color scheme – brown and light blue. Met with the photographer that I want, although I have yet to get my parents to pay the deposit to book her for sure. Ordered save-the-date magnets. I wish I could show you what they…

Last night I totally came home and watched Dancing with the Stars, Gossip Girl, AND The Hills. I don’t know what came over me, but I have to say that it was fun. I was watching with my roommate Amanda and her friend Lilly, who is loud and hilarious. Everything is better when you watch it with her. When it was time to watch The Hills, we discovered that something went wrong with the DVR and it failed to capture the sound. We were determined to view the episode, so we turned on the captions. This inevitably led to us acting out the parts in each scene, and we even sang the theme song. I call it TV Karaoke. If…
