Happy Nurses Day

Today is national Nurses Day!

My husband got me flowers for nurses day.

One girl I work with got me coffee and a breakfast sandwich

The doctor I work for gave me a real sweet card with a gift card, and bought my lunch!

Another lady I work with gave me a real nice pen and post-it set.

Today was a great day! I love my job. It's so rewarding.

HAPPY EARTH DAY

"It's time to mother earth"

(from a bumper sticker on my bffs car)

What do you do to help to mother earth?

1. Pur water pitcher. So we don't waste money on bottles and throw away plastics.

2. Recycle, reduce, reuse. We recycle all of our cans and newspapers. 

3. Compact fluorescent bulbs. Theses bulbs are in every place except our kitchen.

According to Energy Star, this bulb will save you about 30 dollars over its lifetime and pay for itself in about 6 months. Uses 75% less energy and last 10 times longer than an incandescent bulb.

4. Reusable grocery bags. I try to keep them in my car so they are always on hand.

5. Vegetable garden. We have a garden at Cody's parents house.

It feels so good to grow your own food.

“In order to be irreplaceable one must always be different.”-Coco Chanel quote

Saturday was my brothers senior prom. This made me feel so old! I remember when he went for his first day of Kindergarten. Now senior prom. Yikes.

Yes those are combat boots with her prom dress and her socks are argyle. And yes she rocked it!

My brother!

LOVE IT

 She owned the fact that yes it's prom, yes I'm in a white dress, and yes I wear combat boots!

Smart girl, at least her feet did not hurt at prom or her toes get stepped on!

She inspired me to have more confidence in my self.

Easter Weekend

Our Easter weekend was very eventful. 

Saturday:

 All of my family including Cody's family was supposed to come to my house for a late lunch and dye eggs. I had everything done, just waiting on people to arrive.

We got a call from Cody's mom saying that she was taking my father-in-law to the ER. Earlier in the week he had pulled something in his leg, so we thought it was due to that. No, he was having signs of a heart attack!

So of course we go to the ER.

We are so thankful that it turned out not to be.

He also found out today that the pulled muscle in his leg, is a ruptured tendon! OUCH!! Thank the good Lord above no surgery and no heart attack.

So after all that we came home and my mom and brother came over to dye eggs.

My mom and brother

Sunday:

We go up to go to church with Cody's family. A very good lesson was given. The most amazing thing was that my brother in law got baptized!! What an amazing day. I know the angels in heaven were rejoicing. 

Then after we went to Cody's parents for lunch and then to his aunts house to hide eggs for the little ones.

We had a wonderful time with his family.

Then off to my mom's for dinner and Sunday afternoon walk.

Easter weekend turned out to be wonderful!!
