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!

My Little B's Birthday

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY LITTLE B!

I hope you are enjoying your summer off and have the absolute best day, you deserve it! We will celebrate when I come back in July! Bahama Bucks date on me :) Love you doll!

Soldier's Angel: Letter Box

First off sorry for being MIA lately and this post has been a little delayed as well, my apologies!

This is by far my favorite Soldier's Angel box I have sent! As y'all heard, I was recruiting friends to help me write letters to send to my soldier and his medical unit. Lucky for me I have the best friends in the world and was able to recruit several letters to send! A big shout out to Laker Lover, Miss Artesia, My Little B, and Bob for getting me letters to send. I also wanted to thank A Desert Girl, Miss Football, and Lovely Country Mess for trying their best to make our schedules conicide to get me their letters as well!

Now on to the goodies! In my letter I received from my soldier he told me about the 5 other guys in his medical unit. I was already planning on sending him a box of letters for him to hand out to his unit, so when I heard about his medical team I thought, "PERFECT"! I was even able to get a list of their names, how cool was that? I was able to send 16 letters total in this box! I was thrilled!!

My cards! Not my best work, but they are all personalized at least.

For my contribution to the box I added an individual personalized cards to all 6 soldiers, along with an goodie bag for each, and fun stuff for them to share as well. This box included a bunch of stuff I enjoyed as a kid and thought would be good for them to all share around; Play-Doh, little sports balls, cards, dominos, dice, frisbee, pen and paper, and socks (well don't share these)! I also added a typed out letter on the top of the box explaining everything that was added and what not.

The soldier's individual goodie bags!
Something to keep your mind active, hands busy,
stomach full and mouth clean wherever you may be!

Laker Lover's cards!

The contents of the box, minus a few letters.

Up close picture of the goodies, minus the socks!

The day I left to go mail the box was kind of a hectic one, oh and it was also raining. Before I could mail the box I had to go pick up some socks to completely fill up the box. Lucky for me I was able to find a pack of 6 at Walgreens and killed two birds with one stone on my to do list. After I had the socks I was able to tape up the box and send it on its merry way. I don't know if y'all have ever tried to tape up a box in the driver's seat of a Nissan Altima, but it's not easy! Lucky for me I was able to get it done, and just as I was reaching for the customs form and my purse to go inside I realized I forgot to add my explanation letter. Crap! I had no other choice but to cut open the box and repeat the charade. I was able to get it done and run thru the rain to go mail the box! Thank goodness!

The box double taped up with ALL the letters included and ready to ship!

My soldier's deployment ends June 1, so I am sending my final care package in the next few weeks! If you missed out on the first rounds of letters or are interested in sending something in my "New Mexico Thanks You" care package let me know!

Hope you guys are having a lovely week!

Tuesday Fun

As y'all all know, last week another year bit the dust! Of course my friends were kind enough to celebrate this joyous occasion with me. How else better to celebrate this occasion than a steak and a night full of dancing. I was blessed to have so many wonderful friends come out and celebrate it with me. Here are a few snap shots of our night of fun :)

As Miss Football calls it, "Our People"

Oh and just a little teaser, I have some EXCITING news I am dropping on you guys tomorrow, so get ready!

Happy Tuesday lovelies!!

Kappa Psi Province

Sorry guys I have been MIA this week, but I have been on my death bed. Well maybe not my death bed, but pretty close or at least it felt that way. This past weekend I was in OKC for our Kappa Psi Province meeting and after we got back at least 1/3 of our people got sick. Most people got ended up strep, but I was lucky enough to get viral pharyngitis. You know sore throat, fever, chills, head ache, coughing up knives throughout the night, all the good stuff. well now that I have that whining out of my system I wanted to share some of my favorite pictures from this past weekend.

Even though I did end up getting sick, I had a TERRIFIC weekend with some of my favorite pharmacy school friends! Have y'all been on any good road trips lately?!?

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.
One of Miss Football's friends, me, Miss Football, My Little B

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!
