Through to the other side...for now

Well, it has been a couple of weeks from H-E-double hockey sticks :) I have been living a solitary life of studying for exams, writing papers, and prepping for patient care! But I am happy to say, that even though I never thought it would happen, I have made it through to the other side in one piece, minus a few cracks and chips, and I think I am still mostly sane. Although I am sure some would debate it. But I feel completely exhausted and I still have two days of clinical left tomorrow and Friday for this rotation. Then I fully intend to not even so much as LOOK at a nursing text book, binder, or study card for the ENTIRE Thanksgiving weekend. Take that nursing program! But I have my good reasons other than pure exhaustion. My best friend Heidi is coming home from Winnipeg on Friday, I am picking her up at the airport at 3pm! I can hardly contain my excitement. She has been gone for almost 2 months! Its been sucky! As well, my very good friend Karyn and her lovely husband Duane are coming down from Calgary for the festivities and I can't wait to spend time with them too! So looking ahead to this weekend is the only think keeping me from going completely nuts right now, because I see a light at the end of the tunnel of this very long week and I am RUNNING at it!
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!


This is my best friend Heidi in her finest hour, wearing a towel on her head in the middle of Caeser's Casino in Lake Tahoe, on a trip that we took together last summer. Aint she purdy!?

Oh...and no offence to Heidi but she looks like Princess Leila from Star Wars with that towel on...not sure if that was the intention or not.

Awww, I'm jealous I'm missing all the festivities! We're going to have a pretty crazy weekend ourselves... wedding all day Saturday, and then two family dinners on Sunday (and we're on worship team in the morning). Least we'll be so busy hopefully I won't have time to think about not being with you guys :o( Glad that you're going to have a chance to relax Stace, you really deserve it!! Say HI to Heidi for me :o) HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!
