Bus Trips, More Birthdays, and a Day for Mothers

The last few weeks have been a little wild, and I am not sure were to begin. The end of April took me on a clinical trip to SLC. I got to spend a night shift in one of the University Hospital's ICUs. All 39 of the nursing students in my class came along, and it made for one loooooong bus ride. Not because of the group, but because of the antique bus we were given! The seats were broken and we couldn't count how many times the transmision slipped! After 10 hours there we made it and the rest of the week was full of fun adventures wandering the "big city" on our off time. This trip made me appreciate my chosen proffession even more, and brought me one step closer to graduation.



I highly recoment spending a day on Temple Square.... the spirit is calming and it is total stress relief.

The day I came home from the trip, Peter and Kenneth turned 18. I can't believe my little twin brothers are growing up on me! All the more reason to cherish the time we can spend with our families... which brings me to

MOTHERS DAY!

This is one of my favorite Holidays, because like christmas; it honors someone very special in all of our lives.



I found this cute mug at Wal-Mart, and thought....that's just what my mother deserves to be... treated like a Queen!



I took the mug to the local flowershop and asked them to match some springy flowers to the colors of the mug....



The finised product was just what I hoped!

Thank you Mom for all you do, flowers aren't much but I hope you know how much you are loved and appreciated!

My mother is not the only one that needs some recognition here. There is a new added mother to my life, and she is also a very special woman. Sam's mother has raised a wonderful family and blessed my life because of it.
