First Anniversary

On Saturday James and I celebrated our one year anniversary. We went out to eat at the Spaghetti Factory, which was where James took us the evening that he proposed. It was a very romantic dinner, and James was able to relax this time! We had a lot of fun reminiscing about the past year. Following dinner, we went to Circle City Mall and walked around.

On Sunday we ate our cake topper. We were a little apprehensive because everyone told us how disgusting it was. We were expecting a strawberry cake. However, when we cut into it, we realized that it was Funfetti! It tasted pretty good. We had a lot of fun with that experience.

It's hard to believe that our first year is over! It seems like yesterday we got married. We're looking forward to the second one!

Virginia

Last week my grandmother, Aunt Penny, and I went to Virgina. My grandma was going to Virginia for her high school reunion and visit family. I told grandma earlier in the year that I would be glad to go with her because I hadn't been there in a while. My Aunt Penny also came with us. We had a great time!

We left on Tuesday, and we arrived on Wednesday. We stayed with my "Great" Uncle Randy, who is my grandma's brother. He was a great host! He provided meals for us, and he also took us places. We went to the Yorktown Victory Center, which I really wanted to do. Following that, we went to the Yorktown Beach. Grandma said that she had a great time at her reunion. We spent the rest of the week shopping; we went to a HUGE Yankee Candle store. I was able to find the "Orchard Pear" scent that I had wanted to find. It was even better because that scent was on sale! We had a great time hanging out with our family that we rarely get to see. I'm hoping that James can go with me soon because I think he would really enjoy it.

Other updates include that I have a job! I'm going to be working in the office section where Jim works. I also have an internship lined up for the fall! We've had a lot of fun at our apartment. We've gone fishing almost every night. I even took a fish off the hook by myself for the first time! Susan cut my hair because the heat was driving me insane. It turned out great. Jim and I are enjoying our summer so far.

New Apartment!

This weekend James and I moved into our new apartment in Noblesville. After James got his job in Indianapolis, we decided that we needed a place between Muncie and Indianapolis. Noblesville appeared to be the perfect place for us! We searched for apartments in the area, and we found a great place. The apartment is almost double in size from our last place. We were very grateful for Dennis and Susan's assistance with moving. We really love it!

The apartment is right by Morse Reservoir, and we have about a one minute walk to it. The view is amazing! We're envisioning many fishing adventures in our future. Sunny appears to love the bigger environment too.

James Gets Tazed

Here is the video of James being tazed. James requested that I put it up, so here it is. It took me a while to be able to put it up due to technical issues. I would watch only if you really want to; it only lasts for five seconds. However, the five seconds to me felt like one minute. Well, here it is.

Happy Mother's Day

James and I spent our Mother's Day in Muncie. We woke up and decided to go out to lunch. Susan and Dennis joined us, and we had a great meal at Bob Evans. We then went back to their house to spend the day. Susan, Kristen, James, and I decided to put together a puzzle. It only took us a few hours, but we had a lot of fun doing it. The Gnaps came over, and we had a fire pit outside. We made hot dogs and smores. It was a nice, relaxing day! Happy Mother's Day!

Taking the Bull by the Horns

Well, I was thinking about how I wanted to add the video of me riding a mechanical bull in Texas on here when it happened, but I wasn't able to do it. I had attempted to do it earlier, but it took over an hour to load.

As a reminder, I realize it doesn't look like it's going that fast. However, it was pretty intimidating. I was convinced that I was going to chip my tooth!

Three Years Down, One to Go!!!

Yesterday I found out that I passed my junior year! I only had two finals, but I was still a little worried about them. I also had two online courses. After the nightmare I had last semester with online courses, I was very apprehensive about doing them. However, I had two required courses that were only offered online. I did not have the same problem of procrastination that I had last year. I passed my two online courses as well!

My clinicals this semester were so much more enjoyable than last year! My male teacher has been my favorite one so far. He pushed us to be better, which I enjoyed. I even volunteered with him yesterday to do stroke screenings, and he and I had a great chat. He asked what I wanted my focus of nursing to be, and I told him that I thought it would be obstetrics. He rolled his eyes, and he told me that it would be a waste of my time. He then described that the reason he felt that way was because he thought I was great with geriatric patients. He then told me that I was going to be a great nurse whatever I decided to do. Despite him saying that, I still believe that I will be going into obstetrics (which is where I feel that God wants me to be).

Well, tomorrow Kristen graduates! Hopefully, it will not rain. I look forward to going to it! Next year I will graduate too! I'm pretty excited!
