These pics are of Parker working up the nerve to jump off the rock!! He was a little timid at first!! Amazing what $3 and 5 pieces of candy will do!!

This is where he started.....we had to do some serious bribing!!

I Passed!!!!!

I found out today that I passed my praxis exam. So I am officially licenced to practice Speech Language Pathology (well almost....there is lots of paperwork to be processed!). The test was really hard to finish so I had to SPEED through a lot of the questions, leaving me pretty nervous about the results. I had actually kind of forgotten about the test until I realized that my results were going to be posted so soon!! I got an email today at about 7:30am saying results were posted! However, I was too scared to look this morning so I just left the house without ever checking. On Tuesdays am in a group that works with stoke patients and today we were going on a field trip. When I got there everyone was so happy and talking about how they passed and I was SO mad that I was too chicken to look at my scores! So I called Betho and made her look them up for me. It was kind of hard for her to figure it out b/c I had given her the wrong user name and our conversation went something like this....keep in mind we were texting:

Betho: I can't seem to log into your account, you may need to wait and just do it later.
Me: Do it! It can't be that hard to figure out, I must know!!
Betho: It says you passed.....I think....what do you need to pass??
Me: (can't text back.....having slight panic attack!) What do you mean "I think???" What is my score???)
Betho: Ok here it is, never mind, you passed for sure!
Me: Ok thanks so much!!!!!!
Betho: You owe me BIG TIME. My hand has been shaking for 10 minutes....can you imagine if you would have failed!?
* so I owe Betho big time for taking on that stressful task for me! Love you Nug!!! :)

So needless to say that was one of the most stressful 10 minutes of my life and all the while I was on a tour of a printing press pushing wheel chairs and trying to act interested in the tour. However, I don't think I was fooling anyone!! So next on the agenda, find a job!!!

Life lately

We got back last night from our Easter camping trip and it was soooo super fun. I love this trip and look forward to it all year. This year was great like always! Weather was perfect, food was yummy, and the company was great!! It is so nice to just get to relax for a couple days and hang out with good friends and family. Pics to come soon of camping!

On a different note I think I find out tomorrow if I passed my national exam. If I did I have almost NOTHING left to do and I will be done with grad school forever in 4 quick weeks!!!!!! If not I will still be done in 4 weeks but will have to take the stinking test again on April 23rd. Please God don't let that happen!! I have heard that it sometimes takes more like a month to get your scores so I may not find out tomorrow, however I think I do. eeeekkk!

Like I said before, we are done with school in a month! I wish I could say, "Oh it flew by, it seemed like yesterday that we moved here!" But that would be a lie!! I feel like I have been in grad school at tech for 5 years! I can hardly remember not being in school at Tech. Words cannot express how excited I am to be actually working a normal job where I get paid!! I am loving my placement right now in a long term care facility and am hoping to find a job in that setting soon. I may have an interview in Houston on either Friday or Monday for a facility that I would absolutely love to work in. I am praying I still have that interview b/c I haven't heard from them in a few days. However, I have a feeling it is going to happen.

We are currently weighing the pros and cons of where we should move, look for jobs etc. We are trying to make the decision whether or not we should wait for Lance to get a job and then move or move where I get a job. We need to start making money ASAP so if I find a job first we may go there and then Lance can start looking full time for a job. Who knows!! God has a plan so we are just trusting that the right job will come along for each of us. I fully trust that God has a plan for our careers and I fully trust that we will both find the right job, regardless of the order that we find these jobs! :) We are quickly approaching the next phase of our lives and it's exciting. I am going to miss my friends though. It is super sad!!

Ok, I am going to finish Dancing With the Stars! I am loving it this season! Super sad though that Shannon D got booted already! I hope everyone has a great week!

Oh I almost forgot. I won my family bracket and I must say it wasn't even close!!! Whoo Hoo!!

Easter Camping!!

1 1/2 days of internship, 1 test and then EASTER CAMPING!! This is a family tradition and definitely one of my favorite events of every year! Our family along with several others have been doing this for as long as I can remember!!! It is so much fun! I will leave you with a camping pic from Easter's past.....way past!! We were hot stuff huh!?? This is Mrs. Roxanne Bradford by the way, not Betho! :)

I hope everyone enjoys their weekend as much as I am going to!!! ;)

Spring Plates & Snow :(

I have been waiting for months to bust out my spring plates. Last year I came across a HUGE sale at Anthropology and was actually able to make a purchase there. I got the cutest spring"ish" plates and have been waiting for spring to come so I could put them out! However, the forecast for tomorrow is wind and 2 inches of snow. Having a bright and springy table just doesn't seem right with lots of snow on the ground! Oh well, I am leaving them out and hoping that spring decides to actually come sometime soon!! :)

Sleep!!!!

Apparently I have been a little sleep deprived lately. I have been so busy with school, studying, and having house guests that I think I was neglecting sleep! I am a night person anyway and will pretty much force myself to stay up as late as I can, so I don't miss out on any social time and I think it caught up to me!

Yesterday morning I was supposed to be at my internship at 8:45am which means I need to get up at about 7:15 in order to shower, eat breakfast and get there in time. That didn't happen. The morning went something like this. 7:15 alarms goes off and I think "I won't wash my hair" snooze, 7:30 "I'll just skip a shower this morning" snooze, 8:00 "I'll just skip breakfast" snooze!! So I ended up barely making it in time and ate a red velvet cupcake in the car for breakfast that got all over my scrubs and totally gave me away!! When I got home at noon I was the LAZIEST human being on the face of the planet!!! Lance & I went to see Alice and Wonderland (which was sooooo good) at 1:40 and then I came home, showered (thank goodness!) and slept from about 4-6:30pm. I finally got up and we made dinner and I fell back asleep on the couch at about 9:30-11:45pm. I then got up and went to bed at about 12:00am and slept until about 10:30 am this morning!!! Can you say gross!?

Anyway, it is 2:30 and I have yet to do anything but watch a movie on TV and eat lunch. And no, I am not pregnant before anyone tells me that's why I am tired! :) But rest is what spring break is for right? I hope to be a bit more productive tomorrow and get some much needed cleaning and working out done!!!

I hope everyone has a great weekend!

"We Miss You Betho" birthday trip day 2

The fun birthday weekend is coming to an end. I had SO much fun with my mom this weekend and can't wait to see the whole family for our Easter Camping Trip! It is definitely one of the highlights of every year! So, I just need to get through a few more weeks of school and then it will practically be here!! Whoo Hoo!! Below are a few more pics of my short trip with my mom. I had so much fun today with these two!!!!! Us after my delicious birthday dinner!
Birthday gift from Betho! It came in the mail today. We are going to Mexico in June and this hat is PERFECT!


So cute huh!?

Birthday shoes! Love them!!

Me & my cute husband!! :)

Here's the story. I was looking for a very specific shirt ALL day today. (**see above gray shirt) I went to practically every store in the Lubbock mall and decided I should try TJ Max. Luckily, I had great luck and not only did I find what I was looking for I found tons of awesome shirts for an awesome price! So, after about 2 hours of sifting through rack after rack, trying on clothes, and then carefully calculating what I could afford on my phone, I had narrowed it down to the final 5 shirts! Or so I thought. Apparently the girl working the dressing room got confused about what clothes we were going to buy and what we didn't want (even though we put the clothes exactly where she said to if they were "yes's"). So out I come of the dressing room so excited to be buying clothes for once and I hear my mom say, "hurry they are taking away all our clothes!" She was right! Just like that, and I mean it, within like 60 seconds are clothes were gone. The weird thing was that the people were annoyed with us for being slightly flustered by the fact that they had just hung all of our clothes back onto the 100's of crowded racks. So we set off to try our best to dig back up our clothes, which I must say was like trying to find a needle in a haystack. This isn't like losing your clothes at GAP. Have you been to TJ max? So I finally found most of my stuff and so did my mom and we got out of there! Which we couldn't have done quick enough!! People were most definitely starring!

My Mom pretending she just had a pleasant shopping experience!! :)

I hope everyone has a great rest of the week!! See ya later! :)
