Georgia!!

Spring break at our house last week.  Curt and I  split paths thinking it was time for me to stay home and find a job for my up coming graduation and job hunt (49 more days but who is counting) and his brother in Georgia (Brunswick, close to the coast) needed Curt to go work on his place that they are putting up for sale.  As shown by the pictures below not sure how much work he got done and how much was play ha ah!!  No, just kidding.  It was great for him to hang with the fam and they love having their Uncle Curtie there!  Thanks Michelle and kids, he had a blast. 

Ethan, driving, Curt lets anyone drive, I guess he doesn't set an age limit ;)
Out in front of their house.  Stephanie, Curt, Ethan and Amy
He took the girls bowling, out for some good "Uncle" time.

And also let Amy drive, does Stephanie look terrified?  HA HA


Oh and back to my job hunting story.  Talked to a few recruiters in Las Vegas, that is where I have decided to get a job, and all of them told me it was great if I brought down my resume and all but they do everything ONLINE and nothing in person until I get an interview.  I also needed to wait until I get my intermittent license which I don't get until I graduate.  So as one nursing recruiter said, "You are jumping the gun a little but it says great things about you too."  I talked a nursing recruiter at the Children's hospital in Las Vegas, (its the primary children's of nevada) and I told her that I was thinking NICU, Peds Oncology, Peds ER, Peds Surgery,etc and she said she thinks I would be a great fit and I got her personal line and she said give her a call in MAY!!  Wahoo.  I couldn't be more excited,  I just hope it works out for me.  It has been a long time dream to work at Primary Children's and as Salt Lake is not an option for me right now, this will work.  I can't wait to be "that" nurse that helps a parent out and gets to care for those great kids.  Of course, good comes with bad and we all get that but I feel like I am so close to touching my dream, I am SO excited.

As to what I was up to since there was no job to be hunting.......

Great movie, and I even cried, I love Richard Gere!!
Cute flick that I had forgotten about, had me laughing.

and last but not least, a great puzzle!!
So movies and a puzzle was my idea of removing my mind from school and just getting a lot enjoyment.  It would have been funner with Curt home but we both made the best of it.  All in all though we both had to go back to reality ( dang it) and real life when as you all know, who are doing the whole school thing,  spring break flew by!!

Cutting Costs

A shaving kit

Lots of Hair
Two hairy dogs, 1st thing to cut out of bugdet, dog hair cuts.
And two willing people to save a few bucks


Dexter ( I didn't get many pics of him during the process because I did him by myself, he was much easier than Dee Dee)

Dee Dee


Oh my gosh, it was so hard.  Those dog groomers earn every penny, especially with Dee Dee.  Curt and I and sometimes Heather, my sister-in-law, had all hands and feet involved trying to pin her down to just snip a little bit.  Thanks, Jake and Heather for the lessons and shaving kit.
Wow, dog groomer, we will let you cut her from now on!
