Med-Surg

So classes have finally started back up! I'm a Junior in the Nursing program and anxious to get this semester going! I had my first Med-Surg class today! We did the usually, go over the syllabus and such. I really like the teachers we have for this class. They are so encouraging and they love their job! They say Junior year is the meat and potatoes of LU's nursing program and encouraged us to lean on God during this year! Today we talked about Stress, which was a perfect topic for us today, since some of us are feeling stressed about the upcoming semester! Please keep me in your prayers! I am really excited for this semester and what we will learn. We will be going to clinicals every Friday for Med-Surg. We have to go to orientation this Friday to learn more about our clinicals for this semester and my PEDs orientation is on Monday! Can't wait to see what God has in store for this semester!

MICHIGAN

At the beginning of August Mom, Dad, Brian Jr and I drove to Michigan to visit the Wilson Family!

This summer Danielle and I read the Twilight Series. At one point we were both on the same page!

The night we got to Michigan, Danielle, BJ and I went to a Francesca Batistelli concert.

We had a blast!

I love Michigan skies!

Each year when we go to Michigan we spend some time in DD's classroom. Danielle is a great teacher who loves what she does! Dad, Bj and I were able to help DD set up her classroom. This is one of my favorite things we did in Michigan.

OBX

This summer has blown by! Here is a quick update of the rest of my summer. At the end of July we had our annual vacation to the OBX. I love when the whole family can get together! We had a nice relaxing time!

Sand Castle that Karen and I attempted to build. We tried!

I'm thankful to God for a great vacation with the Fam!

Week in PA

This past week, my mom and I were in PA. We had a blast being with the family.

On July 3rd we celebrated my Mom's birthday! She's the best Mom ever. One of the things I like most about my mom is the way she encourages me by sending me encouraging notes and by praying for me. I am thankful to God for her! Love you!

Later that day Dad and I went to see Public Enemies, which is about the life of John Dillinger. The movie was very accurate to his story.
For the 4th of July, we had a picnic in Pennsylvania then went to see fireworks in Carlisle! The kids loved sitting on top of the car while watching the fireworks! It was a blast! Chris and I

Mom and I tried this new place called "Neato Burrito" for lunch yesterday.

Then we visited my Grandma Kovlak-she's one of my favorite nurses!On our way home, Mom and I stopped at the Gettysburg Outlets and got a pretzel. YUM! It was nice to be able to spend the week in PA since I'm home from school. I enjoy seeing all my family! Fun times!
