*IMPORTANT*

As you might have noticed, I haven't blogged much on here, but that's because I've been at my other blog Scrubsandclogs.blogspot.com.

Not like I've been blogging there very often either...

I've been pondering about this, and I've decided that I'm just not going to keep up with this blog anymore. If I'm not committed enough to keep up with one blog, I can't with two.

Or maybe I will, I just need to make up my mind.

But for now, if you still wanna say "hi" or keep reading about my life, you know where to find me. ;)

The Adventures of a Nursing Student 

That ^ is my blog. 
The one that from now on I will be more dedicated to. 

Thanks Guys!

My Oh My What A Wonderful Day

Last Saturday I went with the boyfriend to see this and absolutely had one of the best times ever. It's super funny and just cute all around. It's about this guy (Adam Sandler) who lies about being married to try to get girlfriends. But when he finally finds his "true love" he asks his assistant (Jennifer Aniston) to play as his soon-to-be-divorced wife to cover up the lies he's told his girlfriend, future fiancée. I highly recommend this movie friends! It will surely make you laugh. 

Tomorrow is going to be a happy day because I'm going to go hang out with some of my most favorite girls from work. We'll be having lunch together, then we're going to the movies to see "I am Number 4" (i hope it's good), and after we're going to Color Me Mime to pick out a piece of pottery and paint it. :)

And as if that's not enough, I'll be going to the Carl Bloch exhibition at the BYU Arts Museum with the boyfriend. Talk about a fun filled Saturday right!? And a much needed one because school has been assigning my weekends with homework for the last couple of weeks. So I am so ready for some fun!

What plans do you have for this weekend?

Cute

From

So I just stumbled upon this watch and wanted to share my find with you...

 Isn't it cute! 

It's perfect for me considering that I'm in nursing school. I'm so ordering this!

little random facts

Lyndsay, from Scenic Glory did a post yesterday about little random facts from her life. So I wanted to share my own list with you guys as well. She originally got this idea from eat drink be a tourist.

eating/drinking: ritz crackers, strawberry Yoplait yogurt, a regular coke from JCW’s

listening to: 97.1 ZHT FM and spanish tunes from my iPod. Is anybody else obsessed with The Time - Dirty Bit from the black eyed peas? I love the rhythm that that song has!

pondering: about how I’m ever going to start that paper for pharmacology. I hate writing.  And I’m thinking about what the weekend will bring.

wearing: my new shirt from boheme boutique - taupe color with black lace across the front, ruffled sleeves. Skinny jeans. Black cowgirl boots. Pink watch. Hair curly and down.
 

anticipating: the weekend. Getting my taxes done and hopefully getting some money back.

baking: I don’t know what that word means...

reading: Nursing Interventions, Pharmacology textbooks. On the side when I get a chance which is never, PS I love you (have you guys seen that movie?), and I am number 4.

loving: every single moment in life. I love how much fun I’ve been having and the beautiful people that surround me. Coke. Pink things. ♥

buying: this pink sweater I saw at the boutique the other day. I really really really want it.

If you do one like this let me know so I can read your list too! :)

Today

marks my 5 years and 8 month dating anniversary. it's amazing how fast time goes by. it feels like just yesterday when i first met my boyfriend. and with everyday that goes by i fall more deeply in love with him. i don't want to sound cheesy so i'll save the lovey dovey post for our 6th year anniversary.

now, i know that i need a couple of spankins cause i haven't been blogging regularly nor have i been commenting as much and for that you can thank my school. :P but i'm trying to find a balance between work, school, and blogging so I'm going to try my hardest to blog more often, ok.

With that said, i'm so excited that it's Friday today!Hip hip hooray!

Lovin' Wednesdays: Too School for Cool

Today was my first day of school this  spring semester 2011! I can officially say that I'm a Nursing student. :) So with that, here's what I'm loving this fine and dandy day...

My first day of school. 

I was super nervous today but this first day wasn't that bad. 

Although, I already was given plenty of homework to do. Bleck.

{via}

I can't wait for my stethoscope to arrive. 

And yes, it's pink! I just couldn't have it any other way.

I'm loving and am so grateful that my work is willing to work around my school schedule.

It makes life easier for me.

So what are you loving today? 

I wanna hear.

The worm inside me

Three weeks ago as I was showering and shaving my legs, I noticed this red spot on the back side of my lower leg.  It was a pretty good sized red circle. My first thought was that maybe some little critter had bit me as I was sleeping. I showed it to my boyfriend, and he thought it was a spider bite as well. So yesterday I caught the culprit, who was hiding behind my wooden chest, and vacuumed that sucker up because I didn't want to be bitten again. Well, this morning, as I was showering at freakin' 6:00 am in the morning, I noticed that the red circle was still there. And then it hit me. Maybe it isn't a spider bite. The red circle looks exactly the same as it did three weeks ago and I mean, do spider bite marks last that long??? 3 weeks...without changing?? So I thought back on my Microbiology class were we learned about microbes, fungi, poop and all that good stuff and remembered a picture that looked exactly the same as what I had on my leg. I went to WebMd, looked up some pictures, read some, and after all that, my diagnosis is that I HAVE RINGWORM!!!!

This is exactly what it looks like except maybe not so thick or scabby.

I would take a picture of my leg but my camera has no battery and is charging. 

{via}

Going to the doctor to confirm my suspicion would be too expensive since I don't have health insurance. But ringworm is treated with an anti-fungal cream that you can get at any store and that's exactly what I'm going to do. I'll keep you updated.

Have any of you had ringworm before?

2010 Recap

In 2010, I...

• I became a citizen of the United States and words can't even express the amazing experience it was. 
• My boyfriend and I hit our 5 year anniversary of dating. yes.5.years. Where's the ring right?
• Took summer classes so that I could finish my nursing pre-requisites quicker. 
• Boyfriend and I got a puppy, an American Bulldog who we named Puma. 
• Was introduced to the Hunger Game Series. Seriously, if you haven't read these books you need to. 
• I had my 21st birthday. It wasn't as exciting as when i turned 15 and had my Quinceanera, or when I turned 16 and could drive, but hey it was another year of life that Heavenly Father gave me and I am thankful for each and every day I'm given.
• Eclipse, the movie, came out and loved it so much.
• I was accepted into the Nursing Program at my school.
• I started blogging again and have met so many new people in just the past 2 months. i love you all and treasure your friendship.
• Got straight A's fall semester.

December 

Has been the hardest month because I experienced my first lost. 

I lost my best friend to cancer.  

I think of her daily and I know she's with me. 

I also realized the love that's out there in this blogging community as you guys held my hand through this difficult time. You can't even imagine how much I appreciated your kind and helpful words.

December has also been a good month because well, we had Christmas! 

And I also received my first blogger award ever which made me jump with joy. 


Good Bye 2010,
Thanks for the memories.
Hello 2011.

I'm so ready for the New Year and am excited to see what's in-store for me!

2011 Bring it on!

that time.

it's that time of the month and i HATE it.....

but what's worst are the cramps. they really really hurt.

so now i'm going to be laying in bed

with a cup of hot chamomile herbal tea

hugging my teddy bear

and hoping these go away SOON.

Do you guys have any suggestions on how to get rid of these suckahs fast?

enjoyed it while it lasted

I just realized I go back to work tomorrow. 

NOOOO!

I've been enjoying my vacation way too much.

To demonstrate to you all how this week will be for me I found this image.

Hahaha, I think we can all relate to it, right?

Have a great Monday! :)

Holly Jolly Christmas

Can you imagine if this had happened when you were out eating at the mall?

What a great way to invite the Christmas spirit. 

it gives me the chills...

I hope you all have a Merry Merry Christmas!

And remember the true meaning of tonight, and tomorrow. 

The fancy dinner you have really does not matter, 

or what you'll wear tonight, 

it doesn't even matter that you may only get 1 gift.

What's important is the time that we share with our families,

giving, loving, laughing

and

enjoying the little simple things we have.

And if  you're religious, today is the time to remember our Savior's birth and all that he has done for us. 

Have a joyous time! 

Have yourself a Merry Little Christmas! 

Smile & Laugh

Did you remember to smile today?

The most wasted of all days is one without laughter.
-- e.e. cummings

I don't think there is ever a day when you don't see me crack a smile. You can even ask my friends. They'll tell you. Smiling is great for the soul. There's something about it that radiates positiveness. And when I'm not having the best day, or I'm mad I've noticed that a smile from someone makes it all better. Didn't you know, that laughter is the best medicine?

Fives

Hi Everyone! I hope you all had a fantastic weekend! I finally got all of my Christmas shopping done. Phew! The stores are seriously packed! It's insane. But anyway the lovely Tamera tagged me, and well I just had to do this! :)

My mouth is watering right now...

#3. My Christmas vacation.

Not necessarily going anywhere but 

No work for 10 days.

No school till January.

Just relaxing, and spending time with family.

What more can I ask for?

#4. Scarves. So warm, so cozy.

I have this one.

My lips' best friend. 

5 Q?'s

1. Favorite Make-Up Brand?

I love Mary Kay's colors. 

But I love Clinique's foundation.

2. Favorite Clothing Brand?

Don't have one. 

But I have 2 favorite stores where I get almost all my clothes from:

Boheme Boutique - They have the cutest jeans, but a little pricey.

Papaya -  They are very cheap and have so much cute styles to choose from.

3. Your indispensable make up product?

My foundation. 

To cover up those pimples I get and my dark eye circles from staying up late doing homework.

4. What country would you like to visit and why?

France.

I've always wanted to see La Tour Eiffel and the Opera House.

I also took French for 5 yrs back when I was in Jr High, and High school, and I finally want to put the language to use.

5. What is the last concert you've been to?

You're never going to believe this - I've NEVER been to a concert.

Now, I'm not specifically going to tag anyone because i know many of you don't like to do these games or have already done this before but whoever wants to do this, go right ahead. Let me know if you do so I can stop by and take a look. :)

Thanks Tamera! I love to do these. It was fun!

(4:38 PM) Aubrey: yea but only recently
(4:39 PM) Grecia: REALLY!

(4:42 PM) Grecia: yeah he's got weird hair and he just doesn't look as melting without it. oh. in case you didn't know he's my husband too. but only when he wears his hat.

(4:46 PM) Grecia: stop making me laugh out loud!
(4:47 PM) Grecia: Yes. he's a HUNK.

(4:50 PM) Grecia: BEEFCAKE. hehehehe.
(4:52 PM) Aubrey: BEEFCAKE!?
(4:52 PM) Aubrey: Beefcake.
(4:52 PM) Aubrey: For real.
(4:52 PM) Aubrey: that sounds like a bad cake.
(4:52 PM) Aubrey: like, a meatloaf.
(4:52 PM) Grecia: that's what it says....
(4:52 PM) Aubrey: MEATYLOAF TIMMY
(4:52 PM) Grecia: Oh this is just too funny!

(4:54 PM) Aubrey: Mrs. Beefcake

So if you have a recipe or have made beefcake before, please do tell me so. I'm interested. 

Memories

{via}

Sometimes, i just like to reflect back on those happy memories stored in my heart. I've been doing a lot of that lately.


On a side note: I also want to thank all of you for your kind words during this past week. Thank you for your thoughts and prayers. I feel very blessed to have people that care. I love you guys. :)

She got her wings

In her last week I spent as much time as I could with my friend. I had time to tell her all she meant to me, and how much I loved her. It's hard losing someone so close to you. I miss her so much already. A person couldn't have asked for a better friend. She was always there for me. Always giving me advice and cheering me on throughout school. She gave me strength when I felt weak. Believed in me when I lacked confidence. She was always so happy, positive, full of energy...

Yesterday, I lost a friend. But at the same time, I gained another angel who'll be watching over me. I will always love you Karen, and never forget you.

This song is for you.

when i think back on these times
and the dreams we left behind
i'll be glad because i was blessed to get to have you in my life
when i look back on these days
i'll look and see your face
you were right there for me

in my dreams i'll always see you soar
above the sky
in my heart
there always be a place
for you for all my life
i'll keep a part of you with me
and everywhere i am there you'll be
and everywhere i am there you'll be

well you showed me how it feels
to feel the sky within my reach
and i always will remember all the strength you gave to me
your love made me make it through
oh i owe so much to you
you were right there for me

in my dreams i'll always see you soar
above the sky
in my heart
there always be a place
for you for all my life
i'll keep a part of you with me
and everywhere i am there you'll be

because i always saw in you my light, my strength
and i want to thank you now for all the ways
you were right there for me
you were right there for me
for always

in my dreams i'll always see you soar
above the sky
in my heart
there always be a place
for you for all my life
i'll keep a part of you with me
and everywhere i am there you'll be
and everywhere i am there you'll be
there you'll be
