Summer Fun



This summer has definitely been a busy one. I took the NCLEX (aka the worst test of my life) and PASSED!!! So I am officially a Registered Nurse now. Next on the agenda is to find a job, which sadly has been a tricky task to accomplish. Until then, I have been having a very relaxing summer full of days at the pool, workouts at the gym, and hours of catching up on all my Desperate Housewives and Gilmore Girls episodes :). We also got to go home to Nevada for a few days and spend time with my step-brothers. We don't get to see them very often so this was probably the best part of my whole summer. It's amazing how big they've gotten and how small I've become when I stand next to them. Of course they reminded me of this every time they beat me up (payback I guess haha). We've actually spent a lot of time in Vegas this summer. For our graduation trip we spent almost a week there at the Wynn Resort. It was a vacation much needed after all the hard work of school was over. We went to a show called Le Reve which was so amazing, you all have to see it! The rest of our days were spent lounging by the pool, hanging out in our HUGE hotel room, or walking the strip. Yes, you could say it's been the perfect summer.




We spent the 4th of July in Park City eating BBQ and watching the parade with Josh's Dad! it was a lot of fun and sure to become a tradition!






Josh has been getting lots of job offers but he keeps rejecting them. This is frustrating but I can see his point. It's better to wait until the job you actually want comes around because it is something you have to do everyday for the rest of your life so you better make sure it's what you really want to do. He is such a hard worker (despite how many times he's been screwed over at his current job) and I am so proud of him and how much patience and tolerance he has shown. I definitely wouldn't have handled things as well as he has, but I think I'm the more quick-tempered of the two of us.






Josh's Brother's family from Texas have been here for the past month and we have had a lot of fun with them. We've gone on hikes, had BBQ's, and played card games until late at night. Their kids are so adorable, we love them so much! Almost enough to want to have some of our own......almost lol. Yes, it is tempting to want kids since I really don't have much to do around the house and having babies seems to be a common trend nowadays. But hopefully I'll get a job soon and that will take care of that!





I hope you are all having a wonderful summer as well!
