Special Night

Fast Forward to Fall

I cannot believe how fast summer went. The weather has changed here to fall. So far not much rain, but the temperatures are cooler.
Arianna is enjoying kindergarten. She is enjoying meeting new friends. I love when she comes home and tells me every detail about her day :) It is so nice to see her growing up.
I went to my first meeting at the school. It was the PAC (parent association committee). I decided I want to be involved in Ariannas school like..whether she likes it or not lol.

I am going to be the parent rep for her afternoon class and volunteer my services as needed. I would like to help out where I can and get a first hand look at how she is doing ;)

I have been doing my buddy shifts at delta hospital, and am loving it. I have the best buddy ever! She is a wonderful LPN. I am going to miss not working with her. We have good times!
The unit is very different from what I am used to. I was unsure if I would like it, but I do. the one big downfall is the death. and I have had 2 already. I am so emotional it is very hard to deal with, but I am learning. The 12 hr days and nights are long, and leave me little time for home. so its good to be casual and pick up when I can.

I had my night for student of the year. brought home the big trophy for a week and now have to bring it back so they can get my name engraved. I should be getting the big check in October. I need it now as we booked a super vacation!! We are going to disneyland for 5 days then off on mexican riviera cruise. :) We are really looking forward to it. A nice treat for such hard work.
We are not telling the kids. Are going to surprise them. Take them to the airport with suitcases in the trunk :) hehe.
Arianna will miss 9 days of school. I kinda feel bad. but it is kindergarten. and we will take work with us. She will miss some crafts and things...not too much. I am nervous to tell the teacher..I dont want to be a bad parent lol.

Just celebrated our 6 yr anniversary. Had a dinner out at the keg and brandon spoiled me with a pink stone (dont know the name lol) and diamond earring and necklace set. I am so lucky :)

WOW

I was chosen for student of the year.

That means I get my tution back. Thats 19K.

I am floored. This will take 2 yrs off my pay back time lol

I am going next friday to accept the honor. And give another speech.

Which I am working on now...

But, need to take a break to go to my friend from high schools stagette tonight. WOOO!
