I am so glad for break from school! I learned a ton of things this last year and it was all very worth it and information I will use for the rest of my life no matter what I do.

I had my capping ceremony last night. It was awesome. It signifies that I have only one more year to go before I am an RN! I am going to post some pictures soon (hopefully).

Great are the works of the LORD;
     they are pondered by all who delight in them.
Glorious and majestic are his deeds,
     and his righteousness endures forever.
           ~Psalm 111: 2-3

Hello from Daytona Beach.

We left bright and early Monday to come to Daytona Beach to celebrate my grandparent's 50th wedding anniversary! We arrived around 4:15 in the afternoon. We have had fun trying out the 2 indoor heated pools, the two outdoor heated pools, the lazy river ride(when you get in a tube and the water current moves you around the river), the indoor miniature golf, and the outdoor putt putt, and many other wonderful things. We have been enjoying seeing Jason again. He flew in from Texas on Tuesday. Last night the adults, including Joshua and I went out to eat at a restaurant called "Top of Daytona". It is on the 29th floor and you can see out the whole time that you are eating. Tonight is the big celebration for my grandparents! First we are going out to eat and then we are coming back to our condo to have a ceremony with all of us kids doing something (I am going to recite Prov. 31 in honor of my grandmother).

On Sunday after church, we are going to go to my grandparents house and stay there until we come back. I think that we are leaving and getting back on Friday.

I hope you all have a wonderful time celebrating the birth of Christ.

Yea!!!!! I am finished with all my classes until January 8th!!! I am so excited to be free from so much school work I can't believe I got all "A"s!!! I thought I was going to get a "B" in at least one class and all semester I was very close to it in every one of my classes.
At the same time, I am sad because at least three of my friends failed Pharmacology and have to reapply for next year's nursing class.
I can't wait for Christmas!

I hope you all had a great 4th of July!

We have had the privilege of having my grandparents here.

We had a picnic with watermelon, hamburgers, corn on the cob, potato salad, and flag cake with ice cream for dessert.

Then we got finished just in time to see the blast off! My grandparents said that they can normally see the space shuttle from their house in Florida after the shuttle gets up a couple hundred feet.

Then my grandmother shared some from when she was growing up and read the first chapter of the book "Everyone's normal until you get to know them."

For the rest of the afternoon we played Euchre, Rummikub, and watched Little House (we just got the whole 9 seasons from when they were on television).

Then Jacob, Ruth, Rose, and I went swimming in our pool. We decided it was about time to come in when we started getting bit by mosquitoes.

Then finally it was time for the fireworks and we drove down toward Sedley but we stayed a few hundred feet outside of the city. We kept seeing one or two go up every two or three minutes and realized after a while that the real fireworks had not started yet but someone was just doing some in their backyard. Then the real ones came at about 9:10. They were beautiful.

Well, I've got to sign off now.

Hi,
     With some help from my brother Jonathan, I finally figured out how to put a background on my site. Thanks Jon.
     Our horse is doing great. I really like it that I can hear and see him from my bedroom.
     The boys, my dad, and Nathan built a tree house last Saturday with a zipline. It's pretty neat.
     Anyway, this is not a very good update but I've got to go now.
