Update Time

Well as you guessed it, life has not slowed down since we last talked. Lets just say I am very thankful to finally be on my vacation month! Whoohoo ;) So as for the update on all my craziness, here we go!

My last rotation was in Lubbock, Texas living with with Mrs. Lubbock and Kaydence Lynn. To make my stay that much better, High School BFF had her precious little boy the first Tuesday I was there! Both little ones are absolutely precious and have their Auntie Lauren wrapped around their tiny little fingers! I sure am lucky that my friends have the most precious kids to keep me busy until I have my own.

So as for the rotation, it was GREAT! I was with Walgreens doing Medication Therapy Management as well as some pharmacy management and other stuff y'all probably do not care about the details, but I had a blast! My preceptor aka boss was great, which no doubt my rotation that much better. It was definitely the best rotation that I have had so far, which led into my vacation month perfectly.

Vacation. . . ahhh can we just sit and think about that for a minute. No homework, tests, studying, working, or dealing with mean customers for an ENTIRE month? No stinkin' way! Well I wish it was that easy, but y'all know I am not the sit back and drink coffee all day kind of girl. So lets just break it down for you . . . (take a deep breath)

I spent one last weekend in Lubbock with my loves and their little ones. On Tuesday I drove to Kansas to Surprise Brother of Mine for a few days (which I have had a ball BTW). Tomorrow I will drive down to Roswell, NM to help Daddy O out at the Eastern New Mexico State Fair. Next Wednesday I am meeting Laker Lover in Artesia to get our hair did (of course), then sometime towards the end of the week I will be headed back to my parents house to re-pack my car before I leave for Washington. On October 8th (the following Tuesday) I am going to ABQ for a few days to see some friends and hopefully work a little. Then the BEST part of the vacation happens after we hit up the Balloon Fiesta, on Ocotober 11th Mother Dearest & I will be loaded down on a week long road trip to Washington for my next rotation!! Whewww, did you get all that?

I can not tell you how excited I am for October the 11th. Knowing that I am a planner, I already have the trip planned out "slightly" but would be willing to take suggestions to cool places to hit up. So far on the itinerary we have: Las Vegas (to see Baylor Babe), Pfieffer Beach (at the suggestion of Future Famous Guy), San Francisco (I am sure Miss Football has a few suggestions here for me?), Napa Valley, National Redwood Forrest, Portland, Seattle's main tourist attractions and the suspension bridge in Vancouver. What places to we need to hit up along the way or in those spots?

I hope y'all are all doing great! Until next time lovelies!

Catch Up Time

Alright guys, well I officially stink at bloggin' and Miss Football called me out on it the other day! I completely missed the entire month of July. :( Things have been pretty crazy around here lately. I am currently about to finish up my THIRD rotation for pharmacy school and gosh this summer has just flown by! Since I would be bloggin' for days about everything that has been going on, I figured I will just show a few pictures to catch y'all up on the last month and a half. Buckle up y'all, its going to be long!

Mom's side of the family went camping between Rotation 1 & 2!
It was an absolute blast & I wish we could have spent more than 4 days!
Here is a little description of Brother of Mine & my relationship.

Of course Laker Lover and I had to have a few BB dates
while I was back in ABQ for my 2nd rotation!

One of the easier weekend's I had on Rotation #2,
Laker Lover and I had a movie marathon while I did my nails!
Oh and of course I had to buy my personal car mascot :)

The last full weekend in ABQ, Laker Lover's Dad and Sister came to town.
We started off the weekend with dinner and a movie.
Of course you can't go to a movie without sneaking in some candy.

The next night, Laker Lover, her sister, Fratty Frat, My Little B & I
all went out to the famous DB! We met up with some other friends there
& had an absolute blast! Can't beat country music and two-steppin' cowboys.

I captured this beauty one of my last nights in town!
Man, how great is our GOD!

This little angel turned 6 & 7 months old while I was MIA!
Isn't she just absolutely precious?
P.S. Less than a week until I get to go stay with her :)

One night I got a little excited that we were finally getting
some of God's beautiful rain! Gotta love summertime monsoon season.

Home sweet home for Rotation #3 :)

I mean I guess I can live with driving past this beautiful scenery
twice a day on my way to work. Life is rough, huh?

Spent a little time at the arena watching my cousins rope.

Started this new thing called running. Evidently it is all the fad.

Spent every evening after work with these beauties.
Call me crazy, but not much beats the smell of a cold room.

Well that is just a little recap of all the crazy happenings of my life lately! I hope everything has been going good yall's way. Hopefully next time I won't go a month and a half without checking in. Until next time my loves!

Spring Break Recap

Spring Break 2013, man it was one for the books! Well I am not kidding about that, I don't think I have drove over 1800 miles during a spring break yet. It was 1800 miles of sheer goodness!

I started off by leaving town Friday at 1 pm to drive 11 hours to see my brother in Kansas! Lucky for me, my parents were still there on their spring break too so I got to see them as well! It was great! We started off Saturday at a Manhattan tradition, Fake Patty's Day. Have y'all heard about it? Well it is a day filled with "adult" festivities that about 25,000 people travel into town for! :) We started off bright and early and had a long fun filled day with lots of Brother of Mine's friends. Lets just say after the day, I was ready to go home and put on my pj's! The rest of the weekend was great. A lot of relaxing, laughing, catching up, and pure bliss. Seriously, one weekend with my family can cure all problems!

Tuesday morning the parents and I got up and drove back to our home area. We split off at Amarillo, they went home and I headed south to Lubbock to see three of my favorites, Mrs. Texas, Future Famous Guy, and High School BFF. I was lucky enough to actually get to see all of them so mission accomplished! Then perhaps the best part of the trip (don't tell the other three) I got to babysit my favorite little one, Miss Kaydence Lynn! She is just as adorable as y'all remember!

After Lubbock, I spent less than 24 hours at home! It was absolutely wonderful! The dirt roads, open space, starry nights and pure silence was great! Exactly the quiet get away I needed to finish off the hectic break! I drove back to the city on Friday (boo)! Since Laker Love was pretty much having withdrawals from one of her favorites, I decided to send her a little pick me up via texting.

On my way back home I was able to straighten out some details with Lovely Country Mess, and guess what!?!? She was already planing on coming to town to watch the Melrose Lady Buffaloes in the state championship, but then I convinced her to come up early and stay with me! Whoop whoop :)

Saturday was a fun filled day of basketball, basketball, and more basketball! Oh and did I mention that Miss Football and I made a bet on the championship game since it was her high school v. mine! Well unfortunately for me I ended up losing, and you will hear all about it on Wednesday, so stay tuned! After we watched the Lady Buffaloes, we went back to my casa to watch the Lobo game. All I can say about that is .... EVERYONE'S A LOBO! WOOF! WOOF! WOOF! After the game was over we were back on route to the pit to watch the 5A boys state game. Unfortunately after all the games were over, Lovely Country Mess and her bf had to go home, as did I.

Lovely Country Mess and I.
Oh and the sweet b-day card she got me!

Sunday was not near as fun! I had to catch up on the un-fun things that I didn't do the past week. You know homework, studying, and laundry. Blah blah blah!

Here's to a great week my friends!

Weekend Recap

Just like all good things, the weekend has come and gone before I could even think about it. This was another great weekend for me! As you can imagine it was super busy (like always), but I did get to see some of my favorite people.

Friday
Like all good students I attended all my favorite classes from 1-5, and I even made it to our class meeting at 11 that morning. Yay for me! I think the only way I was able to stay motivated for that nonsense was the fact that I knew I was going out to see Bart Crow that night with some of my favorites. After class was out, I booked it home so I could set everything down, grab a big glass of water (to hydrate) while I was finishing my to-do list before we headed out. Oh wait, that was what I was supposed to do, I ended up going home and taking a 2 hour nap! Oops ;)

After my much deserved nap, and since we (Miss Football and I) are the cool kids that we are, we went out early (8:00) to ensure that we got a table. Lucky for me one of Miss Football's friends was already on top of things and had a table by the time I got there. Slowly and surely all her friends and my friends started coming in one by one including My Little B and Miss Football, before we knew it the night was in full swing! Little did we know that we were going to meet the PBR bull rider, Travis Brisco in good 'ol New Mexico! Cool huh?!? (Y'all check out Miss Football's blog this week and hear her version of 'Meeting Travis Brisco') Ya I mean just a normal night at the DB, no big deal. All in all it was a great night and the perfect way to end the week!

Just a few of us last night.

Saturday
Well my plans with High School BFF fell through, but I was able to be slightly productive instead. I had to run some errands in the morning and then I was able to do a little studying inside since it was absolutely disgusting outside. I felt like I was back in Eastern New Mexico with the wind and sand.

I spent my eventful Saturday night like all cool 22-year-olds, at home, studying and doing laundry! I might have spent a little bit of my time watching a few movies, but hey isn't that what the weekend is for? After Laker Lover got home from studying we took a little trip down memory lane and enjoy a blast from the past picture version. Man oh man it's always fun seeing pictures to remind you of all the great memories from your past.


Sunday
After I had been having fun all weekend, I knew I needed to buckle down and get serious about my test on Wednesday. So I set down at the kitchen table and decided to write a card to my soldier since I know this week will be crazy. Luckily, I was able to use one of my cards that I already had made up.

After I had procrastinated enough on making sure my solider was taken care of for the week, I got serious about the studying. I know I know boring, but hey next weekend I will be in OKC so it was well worth it! It also helped that Mrs. Texas sent me some pictures of my favorite little one!

Oh and this beauty got dressed by her Daddy yesterday!
Can you say biker babe?!?

Have a great week lovelies!

Kaydence Lynn

If you follow me on Instagram then you probably already know what this blog is about, but for the rest of you... One of my best friends Mrs. Texas had her baby!

Welcome to the world Miss Kaydence Lynn. She 6 lbs. 10 oz and 19 1/2 in. Kaydence was born on January 4th, 2013 at 1:03 in the morning and she is an angel! I am sure you think I am kind of bias, but seriously she is adorable. Check her out!

Since I was slacking on getting this blog posted I am actually able to add in a few pictures from her newborn shoot! They are too precious not to share.

Just wanted to give a big CONGRATULATIONS to the new Mommy and Daddy! Oh and thank you for letting me come spend a week with y'all and your families to welcome into the world your little beauty! I love you all!
