So I posted back in November that I was back.....LIAR! I will see if I can do better this time. November....went home for Thanksgiving!

Also in November was the Marine Corp Ball with Cpl Grayson ;)

After Dinner in the Old Market

Sarah and I...(Sarah and I met at Cornhusker Girl's State she deserves a whole blog post of her own later)

Tom and I in front of the ice sculpture

Novmber hmmmm so long ago that's all I remember!!!

December

I came off orientation at work and began working on my own!!! Scary after first but learning something new everyday!

Tom was in Quantico for training but got to come home for 2 weeks around Christmas before he left for California! I spent Christmas with The Grayson's (Tom's family)

TOM and I after he got done snow blowing the whole block (we wanted to open present and he was being neighborly or something)

THe Grayson's Love Christmas and have a Large Family hence all the presents. The dog is Lottie tom's sisters dog!

then tom left for California ( I think) :(

January

January is flippen cold here I don't recall anything happening in january except maybe snowing.

February....

Ahh February I got to escape the cold Nebraska Weather! I hopped on a plain and flew to California to see Tom. I flew into LAX (sicker than a dog I might add, I guess this happens when you work 4 or 5 in a row and take care of a kid with the flu). so anyway LA for the day...Hollywood.......not that cool should have went to Rodeo drive. So we ate at the hard rock

Tom's Friends were also there at the time...

Nick and Tom at the hard rock!

The Boys flew back to Nebraska after dinner

so tom and I took our first Train ride together to Oceanside,CA!

Did I mention I was there for Valentine's Day

a dozen roses then I burnt the bacon, pool side, massage, mexican food and margaritas, campfire by the ocean/pier at night!

The rest of the time of the time Tom and I spent being bums and just enjoying being together as we knew we would be apart for the next 9 months that and I was to sick to head to San Diego for marti Gra and yes we even hit up wal mart

WE did attempt to go to AVatar just because everyone said we should......

20 dollars later and after we both fell asleep and tom started snoring I suggested we leave the theatre!

Then it was time for a very sad goodbye :( I took a CAB to the train station where TOm put me on a TRAIN to LA, once in LA I took a BUS, tHen a PLAIN, the many other airport transportations to finially arrive Back in OMAHA........I got to feeling better and Tom somehow caught my flu/cold!

AND THAT completes my February

MARCH

Well MArch 1st I closed on my house Pictures later.

MArch 9th went to Bon Jovi with MAxene

Then MArch 15th Tom started heading towards the Afghanistan :(

MArch 17th 1 year ago today I met tom on a blind date that Maxene ABove set me up on

And that's all I remember about MARCH

OK GOtta go have dinner with Friends We'll start back up with April when I get back!

I'm back!

Ok ya'll I have no excuse not to make time for blogging and keeping in touch with all of you so I plan on coming back! I have graduated and am working as an RN on a Burn Unit. Anyway things are good here in omaha and updates and goings on to come. This weekend the Marine Corp ball should make for some good pics!!!

I can't wait!

I can't until I'm driving through Starbucks just to enjoy the deliciousness of a white chocolate mocha with soy not because it is required to keep me awake for studying. I can't wait until I can go to Kansas City and spend more than 24 hours with my brother and his family. I can't wait until I can go to work and come home and not worry about what's due tomorrow or which online quiz I forgot to take. I can't wait until I have a day off that is actually a day off not me deciding to push everything aside and forget it exist to get a day off. I can't wait until I can buy the omaha world herald too the Seattle time or whatever and actually sit and read it. I can't wait until I actually understand and known what our politicians are doing because unless it happens at nebraska methodist college I don't know what's going on out there. I can't wait until I can sit and watch Ellen occasionally in the afternoon. I can't wait until I actually go into the gym rather than just drive by it. I can't wait until I am actually excited to go back to school for my master and most of all I can't WAIT until I graduate with my masters. I can't wait to see my mom tomorrow. I can't wait until Wednesday when I take my last final. I can't wait to hug my grandparents. I can't wait to get a job (hopefully) one I like. I can't wait to go shopping with my own hard earned cash. I cannot wait to get a breathe of fresh air...........

Half-arsed blogger

Yep that's me lately......Strangely silent as my blog readers tell me! So What in the HEck have I been doing well mostly school and more school which is what I should be doing now but hey my people need to know what is crack-a-lackin! I have done a few fun things like go to a Nickelback concert, with some boy named Tom who I now seem to spend a lot of time with. Tom was also my dad's name which is kind of weird. Anyway the concert was fun......

Then I got the Flu .......but I will not share pictures of this. Had to miss school but got everything made up!

Then after I had the flu I went out for sushi for Natasha's birthday......needless to say I didn't go drinking/dancing I thought sushi would be enough for my stomach to handle.......
And it was Delicious!!

Then I went on a roller bladding excursion. Went to a trail went roller bladding long story short friend Max lost her car key locked our phones in her car had to head back to my house a good 2 miles with hills and bad side walk walked in my socks... feet hurt.
