He Didn't Put a Ring on it!

Saturday night:

 I was working, and it was kind of a crazy night.  I felt like I was running around constantly tending to patients and trying to get everything done.  I finally found some time at the end of my shift to sit down and do some charting.  Literally the minute I sit down, one of my friends sent me a text saying "So you are engaged?".  My first thought: "What a ridiculous question!  I just hung out with him a few days ago and he knows that I have not been dating someone."  He then tells me that on the infamous Facebook it says that I am engaged.  After telling him many times that I indeed was not engaged and that someone who thought they were funny, must have hacked on to my account.  I thought I would go home and quickly change the 'engaged' status to 'single' and no one would ever know it had been changed.... Oh boy, I could not have been more wrong.  I got home from work, showered, and went to bed because I was exhausted from my shift.

Sunday Morning: 

 I woke up from a marvelous night of sleep and started to get ready for church.  I heard my phone buzz, therefore, I went over to see which lovely person had texted me.  I looked at my phone that said I had 21 new text messages and 4 missed calls.  What the junk?!  I had only been asleep for a good 5 hours.  I then remembered...  Everyone was congratulating me and telling me that they didn't even know that I was dating someone.  I was told: 'He is the luckiest guy in the world', 'When's the big day?', 'How did he do it?', 'Is it this guy?','What are your colors going to be?','When do we get to meet him?','I'm so happy for you!' etc.

I was flabbergasted!  Many people told me they wanted to meet him.  My response: "So do I!" Dang you Facebook and your stalking powers! 

I was so confused!

It was great to know that I have so many people that want the best for me.  But it was definitley hard to let some people know that I wasn't engaged.  I felt like I was breaking their fragile little hearts because they were so excited.  I quickly changed the infamous Facebook relationship status back to its original state, yet, I still have kind people giving me their well wishes.  When(or if) I ever do have the priviledge to fool a man into marrying me I now know that I have the love and support of many, and I am uber thankful for that.

All I can say is whomever it was that got on to my account and pulled this clever little trick..touchè! You had me and everyone else utterly confused.  I didn't find it too funny at the time. It's kind of awkward having to tell even my family members that it was all a hoax.  But, it actually was pretty funny.  You are good.... really good!

Welp, I'm Legal!

Go ahead, cheak my ID!   I was able to celebrate the big 2-1 in the best way possible, with my 3 year old nephew!  Instead of sippin down gin and juice, I sipped on milk.  My nephew Tucker's b

irthday is the day before mine so we celebrated together!

T-man blowing out his candles!

My turn!

This year I was lucky enough to have my birthday fall on the same day as Easter.  It made me feel even more loved than I already felt.  If it was up to me, by my 21st birthday I would be off on a mission and have my life planned perfectly.  Thank goodness the Lord has better plans for me.  No mission, schooling is up in the air right now.  I still have my goals in mind, but right now I have no idea exactly where my life is headed.  I am terrified/excited to see what is in store for me next.  I loved being able to reflect on the life of my Savior on my birthday.  It made my own life feel so much worthwhile.  I'm so thankful that I have a Savior who loves me and is my best friend.  Especially in times like now where I'm not sure what to do.   As long as I stay close to Him, I know I'll be just fine! 

Needless to say, I had a wonderful birthday.  21 is an important birthday (even though nothing has really changed for me) and I'm so thankful for all of my family and friends that made me feel special.  Thanks to one and all! :)

Sista Sista

Life hasn't been the easiest for me in the past few months.  But what more do you expect from a college student?  I was so glad to get my finals over with and make a quick get-a-way to visit my loverly sister Britni and her family in Ohio for a week.  I was able to go for my nephew Tucker's birthday, Easter, and my birthday.  I loved every minute of it!

I have always looked up to Britni.  I love being able to see her as a mother and wife.  My nephews are amazing, and I know that is because their parents have taught them so well! It was super rainy pretty much every day I was there, but it gave me the chance to just hang out with my sis and her little tikes.  One of my favorite things was listening to my nephew say his prayers at night. 

While there, Britni wanted to find things around Columbus to do that she hasn't done before.  They leave in just over a year and I was more than happy to help her find some different things to do.  And I have come to the conclusion that Ohio is strange.  Brit wanted me to see what she calls the bunny fountains (aka. huge statues of dancing bunnies)  I like to call them.  Odd.

Also, Britni read online that were over 250 Brutus the Buckeye statues around OSU's campus.  So we set out to find them.  (I also find it strange that such a prominent university has such a dumb mascot.  I mean really? A nut?  You couldn't think of anything better?  At least go for the dancing bunnies are something!)

Much to our dismay we only found 3 out of 250 statues.  Yes, I felt like a falure. We searched forever and couldn't find then; only to find out that the statues have been scattered all around Columbus.  Oh well!

I also was able to go to my little Tucker man's soccer practice.  Such a proud moment for me!

Oh an little Grayson!  Such a happy boy!  His laugh kills me, and no one can get him laughing like his older brother.  I loved watching these two brothers play together.  Tucker is so good with Gray.

Here are my two men on Easter morning.  Such studs!

We also went to a place called the Topiary Gardens.  Pretty much plants shaped like people and animals.  It was pretty cool! 

Nate wanted to see Archie Griffin's Heisman Trophy.  I have to say, OSU's campus is amazing!  It made me want to go out and have a real college experience.  I felt pretty cool walking around campus with a stroller and a three year old running around! 

My sister has a strange interest in odd statues.  She told me that she wanted to take me to a field with corn statues.  I thought she meant a corn field with a statue in it.  No, no.  We found this!

It was in fact, a field of corn statues!  Britni loved it.  I found it bizarre.  tucker wasn't sure what to think. 

I loved being able to spend some time with Brit, Nate, and their kids.  Although, I now miss them more now than ever.  I loved playing with trains, cars, animals, watching Elmo and laughing.  Can't wait to see them in the Fall!
