Twilight

Ok, so I went and bought the first two books of Twilight. I am actually going to read them. I have started on the first book now and I am already on Chapter 7,which is a miracle for me. It is actually very good. It's easy to imagine what's going on when you see Robert Pattinson as the Edward character. I really want to hurry up to get to the second book because I want to know what is going to happen in the next movie which comes out in November.

Long Time, No Blog

So, I haven't written in awhile. I have had 2 weeks worth of class already. It is pretty interesting so far. There are only 8 people in the class. I am definitely not used to going to a Christian institution. They want us to pick someone from the bible and then write about their family. I honestly wouldn't have the first clue where to start. :-) So, this should be fun.

I have also been on this kick of watching Twilight. Not sure what it is....but I have watched it quite a bit over the last 2 weeks. I am almost tempted to read the book, even though I never read. :-)

This was a 3 day weekend and it was great. I wish I had some more of these. I went to 2 BBQ's at my moms with some other friends and learned a couple of new card games. It was a fun weekend. Today, I am doing nothing, just resting and probably start a little homework in a bit.

It's been awhile....

So, I haven't been on here in awhile. Monday night I held bunco at my house and I did a red, white, and blue theme for Memorial Day. I had made hamburger sliders and grilled chicken sliders and pasta salad. It turned out very nice and the food was yummy too.

Otherwise, I have just been working. It is killing me to have to be at work at 7am 3 days a week. I do not do good with getting up to early.

Now, I start with my masters program tomorrow night at Azusa Pacific University. So, I will have class now every Thursday night 5-7:30 in Azusa. It's going to be a very long day. This is just the beginning....lucky me. I just have to remember by the time these 3 years are done I will have my masters in nursing, school nurse credential and my pediatric nurse practitioner. We'll see how it goes tomorrow. I am used to doing classes online instead of physically sitting in a class listening to a teacher.

Back to School!!!

So, I got my acceptance letter from Azusa Pacific University yesterday. I will be starting my masters in nursing, school nurse credential, and pediatric nurse practitioner this summer. I truly never thought I would go back to school after I finished my bachelor's in October of last year. However, being in a school district...the way to more money is more education. The whole program will take me 3 years.

Sea Cadet weekend in Ventura!!

So, I spent the weekend in Ventura at the Point Huineme base. It was a fun time. It was hot and it was cold all that the same time...it was crazy. We watched Robert participate in different competitions and inspection. Robert's division wound up winning first place during their inspection.

A day at the Nixon Library with Mom!!!

The above picture is of the middle of the courtyard at the library. Absolutely beautiful.
This is me and my mom standing in the exact spot Nixon stood when leaving the White House for good.

President Nixon and his wife lay at rest.

Nixon's limo

Ths house he was born in.

I spent the morning with my mom at the Nixon Library in Yorba Linda. It was a great experience. I saw many interesting things and learned a lot about our late President Nixon. We saw the house he was born in, the limo he rode in, the helicopter he flew in, and his burial site next to his wife.

Easter Pictures

These pictures below are from Easter Sunday and the prep work done before the day!

Here is the brunch line up on our island.

Here is our dining room table all decorated.

This was my cooking decorating area the night before Easter.

I also had made 4 meat pies, from my families recipe. This was the first time I had done it alone. It was a lot of fun.
