Playing Catch Up!

So I haven't blogged in awhile and A LOT has happened! First of all, I graduated!! I now have my Bachelor's of Science degree. Time is so weird! I remember sitting in my elementary cafeteria when my mom would bring me and my brother lunch and her telling all of us that we have to go to college. She was the cool mom, well still is. Well I did it! I'm not finished either! Now I only have two more years of school to officially become a PHYSICIAN'S ASSISTANT! By the way, I think that title is so bogus...it should be Assistant Physician for all that they do. Anyway, I cannot wait.

My parents were able to come up for my graduation and Nate and I were able to spend some time with them finally! It sucks only being able to see them like every six months! We had a lot of fun with them, for what little time we had. We went to Yellowstone on Saturday and drove around. My parents were even able to see Old Faithful!

Now Nate is on his seven week break in between semesters. We're just waiting for his LAST semester to start! I can't believe that we only have one more semester here in Rexburg. It's bitter sweet. We will miss this place, but you probably won't hear me saying that come winter time when we move...hopefully!

I just got a job, and completed my first week. SO glad that is over, I don't like first weeks. I like when I actually know what I'm doing. I also got offered an internship for this fall, which will fulfill my last requirement for my degree. If I won't be staying busy enough, I'll also be taking a CNA (Certified Nurse's Assistant) class this fall so I can get a job doing that in between graduate school. I've also been shadowing a P.A. here in Rexburg and LOVE every minute of it! If you can't tell, I'm so excited for mine and Nate's future! We're also studying for the GRE (Graduate Record Exam) which we have to take in order to apply for grad school. So I thought I was going to get a vacation after graduation, but NOPE! We're staying busy. Busy is good!

The Difference Between Men & Women

This makes me happy...

& this makes Nate happy.

Play Time!

This semester we have actually had the weekends to play...instead of spending them in the testing center. The weather is beautiful now, so we try and spend as much time as we can outside! Here's some pictures of our recent outing.

A Great Message

I want to share this with anyone who hasn't seen it through facebook. This is such a touching commercial.

My Birthday Week

Here's a review of my birthday week in pictures!

"Party in my Mouth" -oh and it was :)

My gorgeous lilies that my wonderful husband got me! Where's Chloe??

We invested in a space heater. The temp says 82. LOVE IT! (so does Chloe)

My fancy new shoes

I just thought this was cute. Kitty after getting a drink...if you can't tell.

2010!

Happy New Year everyone! We're very very very excited for this year and all that it will bring! Nate and I are back in school and doing homework already!! Crazy, I know! We both are working and taking classes this semester. Luckily, we have two classes together so we get to work together in those classes.

We're really excited for this year because this is the year we'll graduate and get our bachelor's!! I'll graduate in July and Nate will graduate in December. Who knows what is in store for us after that point! Another adventure with grad school most likely. Also, my brother just got engaged so he and his fiancee Jen are getting married in October! I have another niece on the way too to arrive in March! So as you can see it's going to be an eventful year! This is the year that Nate will turn the big 2-5. I know, he's really that old. Good thing he doesn't look like it :) First though, we'll celebrate my birthday!! Woohoo, can't wait! Presents!!!

The Good Life

Hello my peeps :D
All is well at the Wilkinson household. We're a few weeks into the semester and back to our normal routine. Nate's busy working, keeping up with his church calling, and keeping up with school. Me? I'm busy keeping up with school. I don't know how I got lucky enough to get out of those first two that Nate is busy with. :) I've taken up volunteering for the hospital here to build up my resume. I've been assigned to volunteer in the infection control department. Sounds exciting huh? Well, I'll keep you thinking those exciting thoughts. I'll start volunteering next week probably since I have to get tests done before I'm allowed to start volunteering. Nate has started an intramural soccer team...Team Nate. I'm just glad he didn't come up with a name like Team Edward...but I think he's more Team Jacob. The team won their first game 5-2! Of course I'm not playing, I just sit in the stands and freeze my butt off! Yes freeze! Winter has officially begun, and has seemed to skip fall all together. It snowed basically ALL day today. Anyway, that's the quick update for us. We'll try to blog again this month, but no promises since we don't have a very exciting life. We don't want to bore you!
