O.A.R.!!

We have been waiting for OAR to come in concert here for like 3 or 4 years, and they finally included SLC this year in their tour! So we went Monday night and it was so much fun! They were awesome!

My friend Joannah won these "meet and greet" tickets from a radio station and hooked us up! So we got to meet the whole band before the show and get pictures and autographs! It was so cool!

I passed!!????!

I PASSED, I PASSED, I PASSED!!!! I took the NCLEX on Wednesday (my nursing boards) and have been anxiously awaiting the results, which were finally posted on dopl this morning. I was so relieved! I seriously walked out of there feeling like I couldn't have passed, it was so hard! I got about 187 questions and it took me almost 5 hours! Way too long to concentrate! But man it feels good to be done and never have to study again! Good luck to the rest of you who still have to take it (Ruth, Tam...etc !!!) I started back to work full time last week and just have a little longer of orientation til I'm on my own. Going pretty good so far, so can't complain.

So here is for the people who've been asking to see a picture of my baby bump! :) I was about 16 1/2 weeks here, now I'm 18 weeks and my belly is gettin even bigger! We find out what we're having in less than 2 weeks, can't wait!!

The Bowls

Yep, more football! We left on Christmas Day and just got back this weekend from the bowl games in Florida for Nick's work... yes... Nick gets to go to bowl games for a living and gets paid for it! Crazy I know! :) I had the opportunity once again to be part of his "staff" at the events, and it was lots of fun! Busy and exhausting but a very cool experience! Nick was in charge of the halftime shows for the Champs Sports Bowl in Orlando and the Gator Bowl in Jacksonville. Here are some pics of our 8 day work trip...

On the field at Champs- FSU vs Wisconsin. Here is Nick's cool boss Kevin, Jeremy who works for BGA (Bowl Games of America), and my brother Taylor who came to staff as well. His favorite part was watching the games from the sidelines, can't beat that!

We had to stop by the beach on our drive up to Jacksonville from Orlando. Oh how I miss the beach! :)

Nick announcing the whole Gator Bowl parade. His not so favorite part of the trip :)





What did you do for New Year's Eve?? I bet nothing cooler than chaperoning a dinner/dance with a bunch of high school kids! haha Well that is the way we've spent Nick's birthday for the last 2 years and will probably continue to spend it for many more to come! :) Happy Birthday babe and lets celebrate it for real now k!
