March Showers?

Peeeektures! -- Bridal Shower

OMG you guys--I had my bridal shower yesterday!! :D *SQUEE* My Grandma, Aunts Michelle and Brenda, and cousin Jennifer decided several months ago that they wanted to throw me a party for the shower! I'm not really sure what I did to deserve such generosity, but I know better than to argue! ;)

Needless to say, my family did a fabulous job! They had an adorable hall decorated and it even had a sign outside with a picture of me with Mike on it! I'm pretty sure I've never been cool enough to have my picture on a sign before. They served us some delicious lunch and even more delicious cake (of which my Dad has eaten at least half of the left-overs single-handedly in less than 24 hours), followed by gifting! I'm not sure when receiving items for the kitchen/bedroom/bathroom became so insanely exciting but at some point I made the transition--because boy was it exciting!! :D We received several generous and much-needed gifts which I can't wait to start using together!

I had a really, really fun time, and I hope that everyone who was able to make it did too. :) Honestly though, I get a little overwhelmed sometimes when people pay that much attention to me. >_< It's a little nerve-wracking! I've always kind of been like that though, believe it or not. And it was hard to make sure I talked with everyone one-on-one! I tried to make sure each guest got some individual time with me, but I felt pulled in a dozen different directions and it wasn't easy! Guess I better practice before June. ;)

Timeless

Another busy weekend come and gone. I've never been so aware of the passage of time as I have been this past year. I suppose it's a mixture of being terrified/excited/ready to graduate and trembling with anticipation to marry Mike. Some days it's more one of those than the other, and other days I can't really tell at all. All I know is that time is crawling by while simultaneously shooting past in the blink of an eye. One day I groan with how long the days are, and the next I look at the calendar and realize how little time I have left to do so, so much.

Wear Red Day

I forgot to post this awesome picture of all my coworkers at HealthPlus for Wear Red Day. We each paid five dollars and wore a red shirt to support women's heart health!! I had a great time at HealthPlus--I really miss the people there.

I also forgot to mention that I went shoe-shopping on my lunch break during my last week there! I've always wanted to go shoe shopping on my lunch break!! I was looking for wedding shoes, which I ended up finding so quickly that I had plenty of my break left to buy even more shoes! Oh the joy!!

SaLLLLLLmon

Salmon and green bean casserole

Mike and I really enjoy cooking together and last weekend we had no plans so we got to cook every night! We made our favorite salmon recipe and also a green bean casserole for the first time. Delicious! After preparing this together in the kitchen while sipping red wine and feeling sophisticated, we spent the rest of the evening watching the Secret Life of the American Teenager. :D

I started a new rotation on Monday and so far it's going fine. I'm getting tired of my rotations a little--I think it's about time to graduate. Speaking of which, have I mentioned (enough) that I only have TWO MONTHS LEFT OF SCHOOL?? Can you believe that??? I know I'm not the only one who thought this nightmare would just never end.

The end of school brings the NAPLEX and the MPJE (board and law exams), which will not only burn off what remains of my brains cells and sanity, but also significantly reduce the size of my wallet. Let's break it down!

• Seven years of school: $135,000 (Uuuuummmm, not including interest >_<)
• 1 NAPLEX: $465
• 1 MPJE: $185
  
• Pharmacist's license to practice: $60/2 years
  
• Fingerprinting fee to get license to practice: $62
• Controlled-substances license: $85/2 years
  
• Malpractice insurance: $140/year
• Finally being a pharmacist: OBVIOUSLY NOT PRICELESS

I'm only kidding. It was worth every penny, truly.

I've been watching Ghost Hunters every Wednesday night with Beth, which means I get several hours with her adorable offspring, Nolan. OMG. I love that kid. And you guys know me--I am not a fan of babies.

I've got a busy few weeks ahead but I'll try to update often. I know you're all dying to know what's going on in my exciting life.
