Almost there !! :)):

 oof. The light at the end of the tunnel is getting freakishly close. This week was awesome though... it won't sound awesome to anyone else, but I loved it. Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday I had NCLEX review lectures from 9am-4pm. Told ya no one would think its awesome.... Super useful though and it felt good to do a huge review of all the content I have learned over the last 2 years. Still nervous for the test, but feel a lot more confident. 

Me and breauna spent our 10 minute breaks outside in the sun!! 

And after our last day of review we were rewarded with these thingys. Not sure what it is, but its cool because it says RN. Makes me feel nice and official! We took a class picture and it all started feeling way too real. Sad, but happy. Next step is finals this week and passing the NCLEX!! yippeeekiyayyy. 

Oh also I won a rotisserie chicken at our FHE easter egg hunt - honestly I was pumped. My dinner for the week! Thursday I spent the day at the VA. I cant believe Im going to start working there in the next few weeks. sheesh Im excited. I had to get fingerprints, drug screening, lab work and a physical done. Pretty sure I passed... I was actually thinking about how much of a blessing it is to have my body back. And seriously at the perfect time. I (as well as others) have been praying for years to have my back pain resolved. Those prayers were answered at the perfect time when I needed it most. I would not be able to be a working nurse if I was in the condition I was 6 months ago. And I am forever grateful to be able to run again, have my body feeling better and therefore being able to start a career Im so excited for. Thursday evening Ashley and I went to institute! Its been awhile since we've had time to attend, but it felt good to be back. I love brother butler and the way he motivates me to do better. This week we talked about when Jesus turns the water to wine. Not just any water - dirty water used to wash feet. and not just any wine - the most delicious wine at the wedding. With Him we can become who He wants us to be. Miracles are everywhere. And I love noticing the Lords hand in the details of my life. 

Morning run with Ash! 4 mile loop by the temple! 

And this weekend we supported a friend in the ward as she was in a local play of Mamma Mia. Fun night with good people. Life is exciting - wish me luck on finals. Luckily Im not too worried... mostly just excited to get on the road wednesday and head south for the sunshine, red rock and family!
