Brief 2010 Recap!

Since it is the thing to do, I decided to do a recap of this last crazy, eventful year!

January was the start of my last semester of Nursing School, and my capstone at Primary Childrens Hospital! I was so excited to be finishing school, but I sure do miss these girls!

Party in Park City!

Then May came, and I waddled down the aisle 8 1/2 months prego. I was expecting Graduation to be a day of mixed emotion, but it was really just a fun night and didn't feel like I was saying goodbye. I knew that I still had to study and pass NCLEX (national nursing test) to actually become a nurse, so I guess really all of this schooling was just in preparation for that.

~GRADUATION

Emily and Marinda are such awesome friends! We had so many good times, stressful days, hard laughs and embarassing moments together over the last few years. We were together everyday and shared all of the ups and downs of school and life. What would have I done without these two rats!


My biggest support! I really would not have been able to finish school without support from my family, and especially Todd!

~SAN DIEGO VACATION

We went to San Diego at the end of May to be there for my little brother as he graduated Marine bootcamp. We all had such a good time and stayed in Joels timeshare right on the beach! Who could ask for more!

And we soaked up every minute we could on the beach!

~DYLAN'S BIRTH

JUNE 3, 2010

I can't even begin to describe the feelings I have looking back on this day. It was without question the most amazing day of my life. I wasn't expecting to have a baby that night so I felt unprepared, nervous and completely not ready when the Dr. said we would have him in 30 minutes. I had scheduled to take NCLEX that saturday, but with a messy apartment, baby stuff everywhere (because I had a shower that night), and the clothes we came in with, we were about to welcome the most incredible little guy into our lives.

Surprise!

Ready or not, he was coming tonight. We arrived at the hospital at 11:00, checked in, did an ultrasound to confirm he was breech, and Dylan was born at exactly 1:00 am


Yes. .. Todd took a pic of me on the table! He was taking pictures of Dylan and decided to get a lovely one of me. This was right as he was born and I could hear him crying but couldn't see him. In fact, I couldn't see anyone or anything at this point.

Our sweet little 5 pounder.. well 5 lbs 14 oz.

And we finally got to snuggle him!

Todd is the worlds cutest dad.

And he has the worlds craziest mom, but I sure do LOVE him!

Our unwavering support at 2 am, I love how my mom and dad have their phones out taking pictures of him. They are really thinkin. . . how the heck do I take a pic with this thing?

~Passed NCLEX exhasuted and sleep deprived when Dylan was 3 weeks old

~We decided to move from Salt Lake at the end of July and lived at my parents for 2 1/2 months

~Dylan was blessed by Todd August 1st

~Todd finshed his first Physical Therapy Internship in August!

~We fixed up my Grandparents basement apartment and moved in on my birthday!

~Went to a lot of flag football games. Yes, adult men do try and re-live their high school days.

~Then the Holidays arrived and we thoroughly enjoyed Halloween, Thanksgiving and parties in between!

~Last but certainly not least. . . . my FAVORITE, CHRISTMAS!!!

What an adventurous and life changing year!
