What is New?

It has been too long!

Anyways, here is what's going on lately...

Quick wedding update: Mike and I are tentatively planning on October 2011 for the wedding at The Desert Botanical Gardens in Tempe.:) More to follow as soon as I take time and figure it out!

School is moving forward at what seems like an incredibly fast pace. 5 months remain until I graduate and can take my licensing exam! YAYAYAY! Excited but scared at the same time. Hoping I get a job quickly! Cross your fingers for me!

I am currently in my community health rotation. I got a slow start as I wasn't assigned to a clinical agency until week 3 out of 8. I am going to a homeless shelter that is affiliated with Phoenix Children's. I hope to get a job at that hospital, so I am making more connections! Gotta love networking! I am such a nerd, I made my own business cards! I've already given out a few, which is really exciting!

Anyways, the time I have spent at the shelter has been extremely rewarding! I love it more than I ever imagined. It is truly amazing how resilient people are regardless of the challenges they constantly face. I am working in the shelters wellness clinic with an absolutely amazing RN!

I am currently putting together a donation drive to have baby showers for the homeless pregnant women. It's called Showers for Strangers! I am very excited about getting it together. I just hope people are willing to donate at work! If not I will make my friends do it. haha.

In other news...

The kitten, Uzi, is getting so big! He is a trouble maker! He will be getting declawed in one month and I cannot wait. He is destroying our carpet!

Also, Mike and I booked our tickets to PA for Christmas! I am very excited.

This is the first year that Mike and I will have a full sized tree in the house for the holidays and I am so anxious to make the decorations. I am going to make snowflakes out of doilies and fabric stiffener!

I also need to think about Halloween...it will be here before I know it!
