The latest....

Well, where do I start? I finally graduated from nursing school with an associate degree of Science in nursing, which means I know have my RN. After graduation the family and I took a much needed trip to Disneyland, California adventure, Legoland, and Soak city. We happened to be down there during record high temps so it was very hot and there was no wind. I will never complian about Oregons wind again. We all had to take about a 3 hour break each day to go back to the hotel and cool off and sleep. It is amazing how tired the heat can make you. The water park was the best part of the whole vacation for obvious reasons. After we got back from vacation it was time for Edson and my ten year reunion. Unfortunately not very many people showed up and some of the people still acted like we were in high school. Then on July 7th Katy and Ryder and I went down to Mexico for my Lapband surgery. I have already lost 13 pounds, woohoo!!! I took my NCLEX state boards on July 22nd and past with flying colors so now I can write RN behind my name. It has been a busy summer hand it has gone by way to fast.

The kids are getting big and very interested in new activities. Dylan tried roller hockey this year but he is not to good on his blades yet so he didn't enjoy it too much, soccer starts in the fall and both Dylan and Jadyn will be playing this year. It should be interesting. We also plan on getting Dylan started in Karate and Jadyn in Dance of some sort. Edson has been working lots of overtime to fund or vacations until I start getting a steady paycheck. The plan is to work and Skyline Hospital in White Salmon in the Labor and Delivery department. Mean while I have been working at the Oregon Veterans Home as a charge nurse. I enjoy the work most of the time but I am anxious to get started in Labor and Delivery. Thats all for now I will try to post more often and I think I am going to start a blog that is just about my wieght loss with before and after pics.
