Time is flying...

It's been ages since my last post.  I remember sitting in Panera (waiting on Jeremi to pick me up because at the time we only had one car) writing my last post.  So much has happened since then and the whole time I kept thinking, I really should blog again.  One, because I find it therapeutic, and two, because I appreciate the log it keeps of my life since time is moving by faster than I can keep track.  Also, I'm still not too keen on posting my life on facebook, but want to share with family and friends. (although not sure if anyone would even still be reading this)  Since my last post, I started nursing school and am in my last semester, worked as a ophthalmology assistant for a year and quit when school was beginning to take up more and more of my time, got an airstream! and had other numerous adventures.  Here's some pics to capture all that in review.
