ping-pong serve
It is amazing that even with a serve that looks like this my baby brother still cannot beat our nieces and nephews at ping-pong. It’s okay, brother…keep practicing…
The rest of the pics
Here are the rest of the pics I took of my sister’s family. None of them are nearly as touched up as the first one I posted or the second but they are still fun.
the kids are all into TONS of sports...
I was hoping this one would turn out better but it was just the wrong time of the day sun-wise and poor Calissa Jo had enough photography!
Cake tasting and a little bonzai with the fam
My brother and his fiancee flew in the past weekend to do some wedding things (their date is August 7th). Their visit was VERY brief but we are just thankful we got to see them at all as it has been several months. We joined them in Grand Island on Sunday to do a lil’ cake tastin’ and all I have to say is…I want to know which tier has the red velvet at the wedding.
Jesse and the best mom in the whole wide world
Jesse, Adam and two hotties (named Linden and Shana)
We then joined Linden’s family at our most favoritest pizza place on planet earth…Bonzai Pizza. We haven’t been in years but we love it. I conned my brother to share a pizza with me that had ricotta cheese~yum yum yum!!! A little foosball and jukebox. All good. Jesse will be back next month for our niece’s graduation (yay!!!) and Linden in June for her first bridal shower (double yay!!).
The best pizza ever...Bonzai!
A wonderful mom-in-law and a new RN
Being a NURSE means…
You will never be bored.
You will always be frustrated.
You will be surrounded by challenges.
So much to do and so little time.
You will carry immense responsibility
and very little authority.
You will step into people’s lives
and you will make a difference.
Some will bless you.
Some will curse you.
You will see people at their worst…
and at their best.
You will never cease to be amazed
at people’s capacity for
love, courage, and endurance.
You will see life begin…and end.
You will experience resounding triumphs
And devastating failures.
You will cry a lot.
You will laugh a lot.
You will know what it is to be human
and to be humane.
When Adam and I married his mom was working part-time as an LPN and has done so periodically over the years but has always thought about going on in school. She did it. She graduates in May as a registered nurse and plans on going on even. I believe she wants to teach nursing students actually. We are very proud. She was on the front page of their newspaper last week announcing that she was selected as the single student who represented the mark of excellence throughout the three campuses this college has and that she is their new Academic All-Star. We will be there in May cheering her on.
My message to her is this: remember that as a nurse you can make or break your doctor/midlevel’s day. =0) Literally. I have learned the value of a good nurse immensely since practicing medicine. Just as there are lousy doctors/midlevels out there, so are there nurses. Wherever you work will be blessed to have you. Your honesty, eagerness to help and competence will be a huge asset to any medical provider that has to rely on you as his/her eyes and ears.
We love you. xoxo
