In the meantime...

I wish I had time to write a full sure enough catch up post with photos. Since my first shower we've had two others that I have to share about but in the meantime here is a quick catch-up!

~I'm really enjoying my new job. I have a lot more responsibility than I anticipated, but I love it. I take patient's histories and find out their reason for coming in, I assist the doctor and chart as she dictates what she sees, I write prescriptions for her to sign, I draw up numbing medicine, I assist with surgeries, I call patients with their biopsy results, I clean the surgical tools, and more. LOL, by the end of the day I'm whooped, but it is good tired!

~I had my first dress fitting last night. Very exciting!

~This weekend we are going to Atlanta for the Save Our Skin walk in memory of my Papa. I'm very excited and thankful for this time that will be spent with my family.

~After the walk, we're going to pick out Justin's wedding band!

~During any spare moment I get between work and MCAT studying, I'm writing thank you notes, LOL.

~I really hope for a sunny Memorial Day at the lake!

Hope you and your family have a great LONG weekend!

First Shower!

I thought I'd share some photos from my first shower. It was a bridal shower hosted by my mom's work.

This is a photo of the display we're taking to each shower. Just a few framed engagement photos, Save the Dates for people to pick up, and something to sign for my scrapbook (I'm personalizing each one per shower).



The food display. They had the best chicken salad sandwiches and fresh fruit along with lots of over yummy things!

I loved the cake!


My beautiful maid of honor, bridesmaids, and flower girl (minus J who couldn't come)!


Me and mama and the amazing hostesses!


It was so much fun! I'm so thankful for everything the hostesses did and for the people that came! :-)

a new job! I'm interning for a dermatologist, and I am so excited about it!!! I start Monday!

Can't believe graduation is tomorrow! Time sure flies. Seems like I was just a freshman.

Happy Mother's Day to all the mamas!

Photos Galore

Hello everyone. Thought I'd post some photos I've been meaning to share. Not much to report today. I'm still studying for my final final at UGA. I take it tomorrow!

Flashback to the weekend before last:

That Friday night (April 25th) we went out to eat with Justin's brother and his girlfriend and Justin's friend Justin. Then we all headed to Twilight. It was fun! Justin and the guys were pre-occupied with getting the perfect bike race shot. They got it:



We got there early and got a really good spot. There was a HUGE crash right in front of us that made for some excitement. Us girls got a little biked out and went to Basil Press where I had a slice of the best chocolate cake I've ever had. Seriously. It was Godiva something or another and it was heavenly. I would have taken a photo but the fellas were working on that bike shot, lol.

Then we moved top of a parking deck for a different view:


The next day my Emi turned 11!


She also got a cell phone. She's been asking for one since she was five. And since she's moving on the middle school, her parents decided it would be a good time. Look at her face! She was ecstatic! (And I have no clue what little sis is doing there...)


This past Thursday was my last day of college class. Ever. And my super thoughtful fiance sent me my favorite flowers in the world and the sweetest note. They're still beautiful!


Friday we moved my stuff out of my apartment. I cried. A lot. It was bittersweet. I'm sure going to my miss my roommates.

I had stuff everywhere.


Thank goodness my family came in and helped me! Mama cleaned, Justin took everything apart, spackled, and when my dad got there they moved it all out.






I left these for my roommates. I hope they know how thankful I am for everything. College wouldn't of been the same without them.


When I got home I was greeted by this. :-)


After that, I've just been studying. Justin has designed the cutest save the dates that I can't wait to share. We also have all of our engagement photos back and I will share some favorites soon!
