I Can See the Light

Well, guess what? I will be finished with my Bachelor's Degree in Nursing in just 7 short weeks! And guess what else? I'm just crazy enough to start it all again for another 3 years so I can be an Acute Care Pediatric Nurse Practitioner!! I guess I will just do work and school forever and ever! However, it will pay off in the end, I know it~ Life has been going okay, had a little bump in the road in April but I've gotten through it! Kevin and I are doing well, just been going to lots of weddings! We are going to Niagara Falls next weekend and to Phoenix,AZ next month. I'm so excited to get some time away, I've felt fairly couped up this year in comparison to last year! Speaking of weddings, my brother has proposed to Lynsie, they are due to tie the knot in Sept 2012 after she graduates from nursing school. I'm so happy that he has finally found the girl for him! I've been taking lots of photos lately, I have to admit, I'm getting quite good at it! I truly have a passion for it. It's a hobby that comes naturally and doesn't require too much thinking!Nothing else to report for now! Thanks for reading!

Hike for A Cure

So, it's been a while since I've posted and everything is much of the same. Loving my job, working hard at completing my Bachelor's degree in Nursing (July...I can see the light!) and of course, spending time with Kevin! Kevin is doing well and is about to start another flip, this one to be the best yet, a beautiful Victorian which is actually a historical home!! It should be good!

So, everyone knows I have a huge heart for Hematology/Oncology and also the Bone Marrow Trasplant kids. I met and got very close to a few families when I worked there, most of which had children who passed away from a terrible disease called HLH. I've decided to "Hike for A Cure" in September. This involved hiking Yosemite National Park's "Half Dome". This isn't your average hike....it's a 20 mile hike, 8842 feet elevation and all together a very tough hike. I will be raising money to benefit HLH and the help fund the cure. I am hoping to hike on Matthew & Andrew Akin's Team....two brothers who lost their battles whom I had the pleasure to know and take care of. (Meet them and their family at their wonderful website at www.matthewandandrew.org)
My good friend Amie has faithly decided to hike with me! I'm very excited and am starting to train now for it even though it isn't until September! More to come on this awesome opportunity!
