How safe are plastic bottles?

Yesterday after watching this clip with Andrew I was surprised and kind of shocked and have subsequently gotten rid of many"re-usable" plastic containers such as water bottles and rubber maid containers as a result. This is worth watching...

Birthday Fun

I can hardly believe that another year has come and gone and that I am now 25! With our families living in town we usually get a three day celebration (mine, his and one of our own) which is fine with me. My family came over on Saturday to celebrate and on Sunday we went to the Morgan's.

Yesterday, I received so many phone calls and e-mails wishing me a happy day, thank you for remembering! Chelsie, my oldest friend (of 14 years) didn't have to teach, so she brought me lunch and we went to the park with Carson. It was fun to catch up and have some fun in the sun.

Later that night we went bowling with a group of friends. Whenever Andrew and I can't think of anything to do, I always suggest bowling but according to Andrew that is classified as a group activity. I didn't want to do the usual birthday dinner so I called some friends. Little did I know that they had mad bowling skills, some bringing their own bowling shoes and ball!

I was impressed by the two pregnant women of the group (Catherine and Liz) who brought their "A" games and showed us how to get high scores by any means necessary.

Leslie, Liz, Me, Catherine, Alyssa, and Robin.

Just the two of us. It was so nice to have a night out! Andrew and I were sore losers, he even let me beat him...

Mark, Ben, Eric, Andrew, Josh, and Scott.
The guys as expected kicked our butts. Both Mark and Eric had taken a bowling class and Eric is in a league so was able to give us a few pointers.

Class of 2010!

After being denied semester after semester and being just a number on a waiting list, I received a letter on Friday informing me that I will be starting nursing school this fall (provided that I can pass an admission assessment exam). I am anxious about the test because I have been out of school now for a year and if I don't use it, I tend to lose it. If I pass this test, I will be attending college at Yuba City in Marysville (about 40 minutes from my house). This college was not my first choice but I just want to get into a program so I am excited to start anywhere.

Just getting the letter and knowing that my life as I know it will end in six months has already started to stress me out. I am already having sleepless night wondering how I am going to be able to juggle everything...don't get me wrong, I know that people have it worse than me and I am grateful that I have this opportunity to pursue this goal of mine. Like I mentioned before I am a little rusty when is comes to academics but luckily they added another pre-requisite that I have to take before fall so I will get a "warm-up" class this summer. I am hoping that this will help me get into the swing of things. It is going to be a long two years but I know that becoming an RN will be worth all of the hard work and sacrifice that it will require.

Father knows best

Andrew took Carson so that I could check my e-mail, blogs, ward site, etc. From the office I hear Carson squealing and laughing with delight so I go into the living room to find Andrew playing Xbox while holding Carson. Andrew is playing Zuma and telling Carson about all of the colors he is seeing...very educational.
