Best Day Ever

I got my camera !!!!! I was completely shocked :) I even teared up a little bit. It is a Canon Rebel T3 and my new best friend. I got it last night when we open presents I normally get money so to actual have something to open was even more of a surprise. I read reviews and my dad really did get my the best of the best. I am still figuring out settings and what not but already I can tell the limits of this camera are endless. Here is me opening it :)

I love my dad's face in this one. 

Dad with the Christmas present I got him. 

Drew and I also did a photo shoot yesterday :) here is a couple of the good ones we took before he accidently broke the lights. I got my inspiration from a pin on pintrest. 

The Grinch Stole Christmas and all He left were these  lights  - Drew 

He just broke the light

Well I leave tomorrow for Galveston and then to Mexico I go.

Bon Voyage,

Elisabeth

Home

I have been sooo busy since I got home.
Thursday
- I hung out with Tracie and we scrap booked till I picked up Alex from school, then Drew came over and we got him a sweater for our photo shoot this week. I learned that he literally brought no dress pant, shirts, or dress shoes and he has officially lost all packing privileges. My step mom cooked dinner and we watched the movie Elf.
Friday
- I picked up Alex after school which he had a half day. Then we did just a little bit of Christmas shopping. I got my night guard from the dentist :) We decided to go to Christmas Carol the play at Alley Theater which Alex loved and then ate at Birraporetti's which is like one of my favorite restaurants.
Saturday
- We tailgated at BBW for the Baylor basketball game which we won :) Then we went to Rudi Lechners with Drew's parents and my Dad and Kim and we had such a nice time Kim and Judie really seemed to click and the food was fantastic. Favorite part was the potato pancakes with apple sauce :)

The parents together :) 

Drew and I ( my fairy shirt) 

Sunday - We went to Drew's church in Rosenberg called Friendship church and watched the youth Christmas program and then went to the party to thanks his grandfather and a family friend of their's named Bob. I loved my outfit I picked out for the day. 

Monday- I finally got my passport which was seriously the boringest thing. They don't allow you to use your cell phone and  I forgot a book. I finally had an appointment to fix my meds and then I chilled in Rosenberg till we went to dinner with my mom and then my mom looked at stuff for the cruise and now were going ZIP LINING !!! I am so excited for the cruise it is gonna be THE MOST FUN!!! 

Tuesday- Today we looked at a WEDDING VENUE :) It was absolutely perfect. It was completely like the kind of place I always dreamed of getting married. Drew liked it as well. It's a southern plantation home. It has lots of twinkle lights and lanterns. It's a little out of our budget as of right now but I think what they are asking for is a reasonable price. We also had Christmas with Drew's parents. I got his dad a cowboys watch and his mom a cowboys shirt which was  her first. :) They got me a gift card to victoria secret so cowboys gear here we come!!! His mom was so cute she was looking at little things to save money and it just ment so much to be she saw a great idea to use babies breath and spray it with glitter. That's about it :) I'm pretty boring.

Love, 

Elisabeth  

Rambling

I had my last final today which was research. 

I'm done for this semester ( Thank Goddness) 

I am currently obsessed with watch RGIII interviews and looking at his picture from NY. 

I attempted to vacuum today but had no belt for my vaccum. 

I only have 149 days till graduation. ( not that I'm counting or anything) 

I can no longer like the day 12/12 since I have had 2 car accidents both on 12/12 one year apart.

12/12/2011 hit a corvette 

 12/12/2010 - hit a pole

12/12/2011- not near as much damage 

• Therefore I am not driving on 12/12 again. 
• I am super exhausted
• I leave for Katy tomorrow 
• I'm making Drew doing Christmas/ football photo shot :) 
• We are going to the Christmas light display in Galveston. 

Love, 

Elisabeth

Rain clouds and Rainbows

So today was my evaluation for clinical. I got my first C+ in nursing school . I'm upset obviously.  Grades are extremely important to me and I'm just not typically a C student. I had quite the meltdown in my instructors offices for a good 30-45 minutes, I'm sure that really showed my maturity. Basically I was in B range but because of my tardiness to SIM lab and hyper behavior on the last day it pushed me to a C. I understand their rational in giving it to me and they were not trying to be mean and spiteful. I just am more disappointed in myself. The good news is that it really motivates me to work that much harder. As per result from my instructors I am gonna focus on the positive.

So here are somethings that will make me an awesome nurse.

- I am a happy person
- I love my profession
- I am extremely caring
- I care about my performance
-  I am smart
-  I make my patient my priority
- I care about the details
- I love making people smile
- I commit to everything I do 100%


Here is  List of things to tell myself
- Grades are just a number
-Grades do not define me.
-One C is not gonna take away my dream of becoming a nurse
- One C will not take away all the hard work I have done
- One C will not completely ruin my GPA
- I worked hard this semester and it was a hard semester.

Wow it is amazing how much I feel better,

Love
Elisabeth
