Well I have been pretty terrible about posting as of late. Let me try to catch up a bit. This semester is in full swing. Seriously, if I am not in class, I am at work, or at the hospital or I am in my car driving to one of these places. I have NO time for me except Sundays! Sorta, surprisingly though, I feel good with my schedule. I mean I am busy, but I don't feel super overwhelmed. I have to keep reminding myself "one day at a time, just get through today then work on the tomorrow". It seems to help as corny as it is.
Let's see,
Kevin and I went to Las Vegas. It was a long trip, definitely one day too long, but it was nice. I gambled a whopping ten dollars the entire time! We saw a few shows. The first one was a topless show, which was interesting, but a little awkward. We had really good seats, but I felt like I didn't know where to look! Not because they were topless, but becasue they were looking at us look at them. The second show was Ron White. It was SO funny!!! We had such a great time that night! It was also being taped for a show on CMT so who knows we might be on tv this summer! lol!! After the show we had purchased the meet and great passes so we got a chance to see all the comedians up close and personal!

My favorite one was Josh Blue. The guy second from the left. He was HILARIOUS!
Later that night we ended up meeting up with a few of the guys out there with Kevin's company and we went to a Hookah Bar. What an experience! I don't smoke ever!, but this was kind of fun. A few mojitos later and I felt good. It was overall a good trip to Vegas.
When we got back Carrie texted me and asked if I would be interested in running a relay race with her....so I ran the second leg of the relay with her on that following Saturday. Oh my gosh!! So much fun!! It was really cold out and it was really windy, but I had a great time! She ought us matching socks and shirts and we were team named the "chocolate shoes". So I have never run a relay before. Carrie wanted to take

the first leg of the race and I took the second. It was supposed to be a 2.5 mile loop run twice, for those running it solo, or once per person on relay teams. We had to carry a fake rose (it was a Valentine's Day themed race) as our baton. Carrie came around faster than I had expected her to and she handed off the baton/rose. Then I was off. I was running pretty dang quick. I kept picking people off through the race, something I have never really tried to do before. Then I got to the tun around and I was hit by a wall of wind! Man that was hard to come back. At the very end there was a serious incline and some girl passed me on it and started walking at the top! I was pissed!! Not one person passed me the whole race and I was running really well. Well she did not stay in front of me long because I left her in the dust! (Ahh I sound so mean!!) We finished the relay in under an hour, but I was a little disappointed in our time, until Carrie told me that she thought the race was long by at least a quarter of a mile, according to her garmin. That made me feel better, I know it was windy, but I know I ran well and she definitely did to as she finished quickly.
Well, I suppose I should go start studying as I have a hard test tomorrow am in community nursing (bore) and I really need to pass!! I will try to keep updating as I go! Laters!
