Happy One Year Anniversary!






Its a little late...but better late than never! Me and Daniel celebrated our one year anniversary on June 11th...this year has been full of excitement and went by really fast. I worked this last year for a home health company, I had a 41 year old quadriplegic that was a very challenging case but i was able to learn ALOT about health care and was able to observe a nurse often doing different things with the patient and it was a great hands on experience! I finished up all my remaining prerequisites for nursing school, and was able to finally get an acceptance letter and will be getting my RN from Weatherford College and will start the program in August. Daniel's old company (union drilling) started really slowing down with the recession and the fact that the barnett shale is slowing down and his rig was stacked out (had no more work, so everyone was laid off) we were fortunate enough for him to find another job before the lay offs happened so he began work with Nomac drilling which is the oil company that Chesapeake energy owns. He hated it to put it mildly and was just able to find another job with Ves Vaughn Energy...he is loving it and so happy to finally be off a drilling rig! This last year has been alot of fun for us! We were able to take a trip to Seattle to see heather, Charles and Abigail- a trip to New Jersey to visit Daniel's brother Ben and his wife Hailey for bens graduation from Princeton Seminary- We were also able to take a last minute trip to hawaii with heather and charles, and I was able to go to Utah and visit with my grandmother! I feel so blessed to have such an amazing husband that would do anything for me. He is such a sweet husband and best friend and I can not wait for many more years together!

Utah & New Jersey











This past weekend Me and Daniel were able to take a trip up to New Jersey to attend his brothers graduation. Ben received his masters in divinity from Princeton University. It was alot quicker of a trip then we were hoping for but we had a blast. The campus was unbelievably beautiful, and we were so happy to be able to be there!

The previous weekend I was able to fly up to Utah with my parents to see my grandmother(dad's mom) who is suffering from brain cancer and isn't doing very well... I feel so blessed that we were able to have a weekend filled with lots of love and laughter and that our last memories of her will be sweet, sweet memories. She is such an amazing woman, and i'm so happy that I was able to get up there to see her and have some one on one time with her, along with my grandfather.
